Don't tell me this is real...

The site in question

I just visited this site and must really wonder... MayCain shows off his ass-conservative tits-on-legs, and at once his polls shoot up by 14%, which Republitards now want to hold for two months.

Are people really that retarded that they fall for it? Or is it just the glow of the recent RNC? If the first, goodbye America...

USA today does seem to be a bit of an outlier, but the various weekend polls all have him even with Obama or at a small lead.

Polls are fickle things. Personally I'm hoping Palin makes more gaffes like this one. Then we can expect to see those ratings drop to more manageable levels.

Congratulations. You found an outlier on a national poll. Tell me, do we elect the President via national percentages or by a different system?

Real Clear Politics also shows voting tallies in the important swing states as well, in which Obama still appears to be leading.

The link I just linked to is an electoral map comprised by realclearpolitics based on polls conducted in the various states. It has Obama still winning the overall electoral college if the race were conducted today, but just barely.

It's a Convention bump. A week ago Obama was 10 points ahead of McCain. It happens every election season. I mean, each convention is a full week of propaganda that gets broadcast 24/7 on all major networks. Shouldn't it show in the polls for a while? Anyway, in a week or two things will be back to normal. Besides, Obama's still leading in several key swing states.

Indeed, now they have two months to mouth off and make fuck ups for people to change their minds, instead of carefully constructed propaganda from the conventions.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong
