Check your polling again P.Textor... Illihois (yes, I know it's his 'home' state) is NOT a lock right now. Even his old stomping grounds of CROOK Co. has lost it's love of Barry S.

Another thing the article fails to note is where the polls are being taken. If you are going to get a lot of participants quickly it is likely you are in a city. The bigger the city the more likely the sample of participants lean left. Take that into account and you are polling a lot of DEMs. Whether or not they are serious about being a 'likely voter' or not is of no consequence. What it does is sway the numbers even firther towards Obama when they are really no where near the actual tally...just like unemployment. Like another poster said...statistics are like a bikini!
