Yesterday you said the polls don't matter--today you're using a 2% lead as gospel. You know when the polls say the race is dead even, it translates to Obama at a deficit. There are PC voters who are incapable of saying NO WAY! when asked if they'll vote for BO, so they waffle and say "not sure" or "maybe."

"...For his part, Barack Obama needs to drill two numbers into the heads of every American: 91 and 134. 91 is the percentage of the time McCain has voted with Bush, and 134 is the number of corporate special interest lobbyists involved in the McCain campaign. Obama will likely argue that no one who votes with Bush 91 percent of the time is a maverick, and that someone with 134 former or current lobbyists advising, funding or managing his campaign cannot be considered a reformer. If Obama can shatter the image of the maverick reformer, even McCain's heroic POW story will not be enough to win the White House. On the positive side, Obama will likely stress the economy, including his plan to cut taxes for middle-class families and small business, as well as his plan for energy independence. The key to success will be connecting with voters.

He needs to connect emotionally, not intellectually. .."
