Allow me to emphasize the obvious.

EVERYONE NEEDS TO VOTE IN THIS ELECTION.

That's exactly right. The media is in full disinformation mode and doing everything it can to keep Republicans/McCain supporters away from the polls.

Based upon a polling "expert" in heard yesterday on KTRH radio, there are always problems with polls, but this year they are magnified. Determining who really is a "likely voter" is hardly an exact science and this year the numbers are even more questionable because of the impact of first time voters participating in the polls. These first time voters are not only young people who responded to voter registration drives on college campuses, but they are also members of minority communities who traditionally don't vote, but claim to be "likely voters." The new young voters and the effect of a black candidate on black voter turnout this year creates greater uncertainty in polls, yet the pollsters are not factoring that into their margin of error. In fairness, they can't because this fact pattern has never existed in a Presidential election.

Obama may well win this election, but it's by no means certain and we cannot depend upon the media to report accurately on this issue. Wow, what a surprise!
