Don't most voters under thirty years old use mobile phones almost exclusively? And aren't they more likely than not to be Obama supporters? Could those facts add up to suggest that Obama really has a much greater lead than any of the polls indicate? Am I missing something?

The leads are not shrinking like the right wingers claim. It's a fairly steady race with ebb and flow. Right now, Obama is leading in all of the states Kerry won. He is also leading in Iowa and New Mexico that Gore won. All of those give him 264 electoral votes. This has not changed for some time. What is fluid now are the battleground states. Especially Colorado, Nevada, Virginia, and Ohio. Anyone of those except Nevada gives him the win. He just needs to get his message out like the Republicans do. It will be a win if he can.

But if you look at McCain, people really know very little about him and most of it is bad and the press isn't talking about it. I had a friend who voted for bush and she said that if she had known about all of his failed businesses she would not have. McCain is really not qualified to be president in so many ways. Since the press isn't going to inform the people we have to spread the word. Here are some examples: and these are from other posts today. "McCain often cites Ahmadinejad as the "leader" of Iran - which isn't actually true. In a complex nation, in a complex world, Ahmadinejad is only president, a vastly less significant office than Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei. When this was pointed out to him, McCain brushed facts aside and said, "It doesn't matter. What matters is that's what Americans THINK he is." Now that's scary. McCain is not smart enough to be President. Former Secretary of the Navy Richard Danzig, a senior national security adviser to Barack Obama's presidential campaign, said that he has never seen Obama lose his temper, even in situations of "exceptional stress." By comparison, Obama's GOP rival John McCain is known for "losing it." Danzig said McCain is known for forming an opinion or a decision quickly and then "digs in." McCain's volatile temper is well known to Beltway insiders, but Democrats at their convention are trying to make this known to the larger audience, as part of a tug-of-war about who between the two candidates is prepared to be commander-in-chief."

You know what you can do with your threats! I hope Hillary does not even consider running again. I do not know of anyone who would want to have to come in and clean up the mess Obama will leave if he gets in that is for sure. If Hillary is smart she will travel with Bill and make speeches and tell the dem. party to take a great big hike.

These polls do not factor in the millions of new first time voters that will be supporting Obama.... The only poll that I care about, is the nationwide Poll on November 5th.

Obama had more legislative experience when he ran for the Senate than Hillary ever did. :can't imagine another 4 years of this economy or another unintelligent, out-of-touch republican president.

She can release her delagates, but she can not release the votes of her 18 million supportes on election day in November. More than half have gone over to Obama. But many have not been convinced. Only Obama can bring in those who are not in his corner. They are not in his corner becasue they do not trust he is ready to be President. It is up to him now and his recent performance so far is a non starter. Polls show large numbers of undecided independents are uncomfortable with his ablity to lead and deliver. This sentement is shared by many Hillary supporters. The task is now fully Obama's to prove himself. Hillary has done all she can.

Florida will again tell any voter who has the same name as that of a convicted felon that they can't vote. Pennsylvania will again send out mail telling voters that Republicans vote on Tuesday and Democrats vote on Wendesday.
