Note to the Obama Loving Media – It’s Not Over Yet

28 October 2008 6 Comments

I stand by my prediction that John McCain will win the election next Tuesday, and according to the polls (not the oversampled Democrat ones) it’s looking that way.

Today’s Gallup is down to 2 points between Obama and McCain and it’s the first time in weeks that Obama has come in under 50 percent.

In other polls:

TIPP: Obama 47.7%, McCain 43.7%, Not Sure 8.6%.

ZOGBY TUESDAY: Obama 49%; McCain 45%; 6% Undecided.

We’re beginning to see the turn, and as I predicted Obama is over playing his hand, and his Wednesday night extravaganza may just backfire was Americans get sick and tired of hearing him. Remember Joe Piscopo?

But there is more to come. In spite of the LA Times refusing to properly inform Americans about Obama’s friendship with Rashid Khalidi by releasing the video of him toasting this Palestinian hater of Israel, the story is reaching the Jewish communities in South Florida via fax and email as I write this.

Today it was covered in depth via the Schnitt Show (Number 1 local show) in South Florida/Tampa and if we can judge by the calls the tide is quickly turning on Jewish support. No Jew can vote for Barack Obama without betraying their faith and their Nation – period.

    Mac, did you ever notice that RealClearPolitics never uses the results from either Zogby or the IBD poll? But no surprise. I have thought for a while they were in the tank for Obama. Here’s why:

    during the primaries I was keeping a track of the popular votes. I would write down the results as the primary votes were counted. I had written down the votes from the totals and Hillary was leading. The next day, another primary had been counted, and using RCP’s previous day’s count and the results of the latest primary, HRC should have had a good lead. But according to RCP, Obama was leading in the popular vote count.

    I emailed them, providing the previous day’s count, adding the count from the latest state primary and explaining that surely they had just made a mistake in the current count.

    I got a return email and it damn sure wasn’t what I expected. It was hateful and insulting and I was told that perhaps I should invest in a better calculator. The last line went something like this: OUR NUMBERS ARE CORRECT AND YOU ARE STUPID.

    Well, so much for relying on RCP for any balance. Then I started noticing that the articles that they reprint are pretty heavily loaded toward Obama. Maybe a 3-2 ratio.

    I am so disgusted with the behavior of not only the journalists, but the polls who are weighting their polls to favor Obama. The American people are being bamboozled into thinking that Obama has more support than he really does. Now I think the goal of some of the polls is to discourage those who would vote for McCain by making them think this election is all but over.

    If Obama wins, we can finally say that we have a President elected by the press.

    Mac, I agree with you. McCain/Palin will win. Let’s just Praise The Lord for this.

    Retire05, I thought it was pretty obvious that RCP is in the tank for the Socialist. As you pointed out, they claim not to do any polling(just average the polls) which would be okay, except that they only average the ‘expanded’ polls (which project too many Dems) and exclude any that are ‘too close’ such as the ones you mentioned. If you took ‘every’ poll of likely voters and ‘averaged’ them, you would be much closer than RCP.

    as the Dems would say, vote early, vote often.

    Retire 05,
    Since Time Inc bought RCP, it has ceased to be independent of thought. Just another liberal rag.

    I stopped going to RCP a few weeks ago when it became obvious that their “results” were weighted toward bHo…

    I saw a comment recently, that Zogby was contractually obligated to poll more Democrats than Republicans. I don’t remember who’s blog, or what it was a response to (so consider the veracity of this as HIGHLY suspect).

    Does anyone here know if there is ANYTHING at all to that?
    Or, if it is just pure BS.

    I simply don’t know.
