Some excellent observations by Ace here. Lefty Mark Halperin is teasing it as determining, “who is really winning,” going as far as saying, “the world as we know it will change”. I have a feeling, and I hope that I’m wrong, that he’s not spinning that because McCain did well in it. An Obama spokesman also told MSNBC that the USAToday/Gallup poll was an outlier that disagreed with the poll NBC has coming out in a little while.
A few observations of my own:
- Is it not interesting that both Team Obama and a Daily Kos diarist claim to know the outcome of an NBC/WSJ poll?
- If it is good news for Obama (even a little), expect other MSM outlets to join Halperin in touting this as the be-all-end-all of polls.
- If it is good news for McCain, how bad is Team Obama doing that it can’t do well in an NBC poll?
Results are do out at 6:30PM ET.

A poll, any poll, by NBC is going to be just as slanted as their media “news” presentations. After removing Chris Mathews and Keith Olbermann from their holier than thou spin ‘em liberal-Democrat slant reporting, there can be absolutely NO CREDENCE whatsoever for an NBC poll. It is a joke.
The energy, enthusiasm, the major fund-raising by the McCain/Palin campaign is proof positive of what’s really going on in America. The country has fallen head-over-heals for Sarah Palin, and McCain, too. There is absolutely no questions as to who is ahead — McCain/Palin.
Quoting the Obamites, “Get over it!”
Down with Obama’s socialism. Love live America and American values!
