but polls aren't worth much.

We gotta work hard and GOTV.

It's a sad state of affairs when a stand up comedian does a better interview than a guy on a "real news network."

  I have no evidence to back this up, but I'm convinced that the polls fluctuate because of a GOTV effort. As more and more people are contacted, ID'ed and worked over by the campaigns, they become "likely voters." In other words, the numbers don't go up for Obama because Clinton people are switching, the numbers go up because he is getting more people involved in the process and making them into "likely voters."

    Currently, Obama leads by six among those who have already voted or are absolutely certain they will vote.
