    You guys are on crack

    Hate to break the news to you, Im a republican, have hundreds of friends, who have kids, a busy schedule, have to make dinner nightly and would never have the time to answer a phone call regarding a poll. Many Obama supporters are very enthusiastic about him and are willing to spend the time. Most republicans are not real happy about Mccain and thats why the polls numbers are grossly under represented. I do think it will be a landslide, but by Mccain, a lot of people are extremely angry about how the press and pundits have been completely bias towards Obama. I don't blame him, but he will suffer and the media will be made to look like complete hacks, their bias will give Mccain an extra 5-6 points and the Bradley myth will not be the reason why.
