Sarah Palin's powerful "First Dude"

Todd Palin has exerted unusual influence on his wife's Alaska government. In Washington, their methods would do Bush and Cheney proud.

    Well hoot

    I mean Shawn, you're still pretty good at screeching. But that's about it.

    Poll Date Sample McCain (R) Obama (D) Spread

    FOX News/Rasmussen 09/14 - 09/14 500 LV 48 48 Tie

    SurveyUSA 09/12 - 09/14 732 LV 46 50 Obama +4

    Or do you have another link.

    The trend is against McCain shorterm in VA right now. And the Ras poll showing a tie has a smaller sample size.

    But as usual, you are more interested in backfitting the data to support your dubious claims than any real analysis.

    And Klytus is a funny looking Egyptian dude living in the South. I'm the funny looking white dude living in the elitist NorthEast. Do try to keep it straight. Finally, not everyone agrees with RCP's poll averaging methodology. 538 has a different approach. They show your boy winning at the moment.
