Question: when the voters are almost evenly divided, why has the media coverage been so unbelievably one-sided – and determined to portray John McCain as a pathetic loser?
Because John McCain is a pathetic loser.

Polls is still like adding in arithmetic, just leave out some numbers and you get a wrong answer. As simple as that,
Obama has a lot of young fans, and the fact is, they just don’t show up to vote. Sure, when they’re asked, they say they’re going to vote, but when presented with the choice of getting off the couch and turning off MTV or going to vote, they just might procrastinate their way to a McCain victory.
Something is definitely goofy with the polls. They all show Obama up but the spread is all over the place. If Obama thought he had PA in the bag, he wouldn’t be spending time there, instead he’d be trying to pick off some states probably out of reach, but worth a shot in order to run up the popular vote tally for a mandate.I think the internals in PA have been decreasing weekly for Obama. I posted about an internal Obama poll earlier this month (and a week before the blogosphere picked it up): http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2105611/posts
Internal polling is far more elaborate and expensive. A rag like Newsweek, apart from being biased, is not interested in paying good money to get a decent polling sample. While other rags like the CNN just lie.. MSNBC, the NY Times, etc. also do totally fabricate the news. They are also immorally fabricating the polls to maliciously suppress the Republican, Christian vote.
The Post and ABC conduct interviews with a random selection of those who have only cellular phone service alongside a traditional random sample of those with residential phone service. One recent criticism of current polling has been that it does not accurately capture the sentiments of those who primarily use cellphones.
