There was some talk here over the weekend about all the backlash Obama was going to take for insulting a blue collar worker. Just wanted to let everyone know that it still looks good:

I wish I could take comfort in those figures, but I can't. Politicians wage negative campaigns because they work, robo calls are used because they work. I am afraid that this will be another campaign where we get our hopes up and watch them get dashed as the republicans find a way to steal it again. I dread waking up on Nov. 5th.

John Luntz who was on Bill Maher said Obama will win, but it will be close, by 5 or 6 points(Electoral college) I'm telling you, and I am dead serious, If McCain wins somehow, I will not talk or associate with anyone

I wouldn't go pick out the new drapes for the oval office just yet, Luntz predicted Kerry would win at this point in the 2004 election.

Its time for Bush to get worried
By Frank Luntz
October 15, 2004

The big story of the US presidential election up to Thursday was how few undecided voters there were. Now the final presidential debate is over, these voters have essentially made up their minds - and it is George W.Bush who should be worried. If John Kerry is elected the 44th president, it will be because of a single night in Miami, Florida, when he came to debate and Mr. Bush came to - well, no one is quite sure. The double-digit lead that Gallup polls, long considered an authority for presidential polling, gave Mr. Bush after the Republican convention was fully erased by that fateful 90-minute confrontation.
