- no matter what side the numbers were favoring, i'd expect media in general to have a bias towards portraying any election as a real horserace..... - x Oct 30, 07:46 1
  - "And with 95 percent of precincts reporting Senator Obama leads the maverick Senator from Arizona by 20 points. Don't go away folks, this is too - Don Homer Oct 30, 07:48
- What polls, specifically? There is a +4 in PA, but that appears to be an extreme outlier, as numerous other polls are in double digits. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 30, 07:44 1
  - And other polls show it getting out of hand (+6 in NC, +4 OH, +12 PA, +7 NV, -4 AZ). Silly to cherry-pick. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 30, 07:51
- Speaking of tightening, do you remember that fist sign you made at me the other day? That was hysterical. -- nm - Diva Oct 30, 07:44 2
  - you'll have to be more specific...I do that alot. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 30, 07:50 1
    - At the laundromat when i was having the problem...And you don't make the fist sign a lot. You make the slap/spank sign a lot. -- nm - Diva Oct 30, 07:53
Interesting. In Oregon we have been voting for a couple of weeks, but they don't open the ballots until Tuesday. -- nm - Deadmond Oct 30, 07:34 7
- "polls" not ballots. -- nm - slutty zombie loosilu Oct 30, 07:34 6

    - yeah, I totally missed that, my bad... -- nm - znufrii Oct 30, 07:38
    - What exactly are you spoiling? The 59 percent is from sample survey/poll, and not official counted votes. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 30, 07:38
    - I believe this refers to the survey kind of poll. -- nm - slutty zombie loosilu Oct 30, 07:37
    - really? that seems rather odd. -- nm - Count Beakula Oct 30, 07:36
  - Aaaaah, missed that. -- nm - Deadmond Oct 30, 07:36
