Via a comment at HillBuzz comes a link to audio of a Republican Operative who says some pretty outrageous things about the state of the election. Things like McCain is way ahead in Pennsylvania. And that McCain has a chance in California. Who could believe it? Here are the numbers the operative gives according to GOP internal polls.
NJ McCain 48 Obama 43 Undecided 7
MI McCain 44 Obama 42 Undecided 10
CA McCain 43 Obama 44 Undecided 9 Barr 3
PA McCain 55 Obama 33 Undecided 10
Undecideds are going for McCain by 4 to 1 the operative says.
If you want to listen to the audio you can click here.May I suggest that you do a save as – because the audio loads slow (even with broadband) and it might not complete if you open it in a tab or a window. Or you can listen to it at YouTube. The whole thing is a little under 6 minutes and really worth your time because it is very interesting.
Of course the whole thing could be nuts and the national polls could be right. So may I suggest:
Because it is not over until it is over and that won’t be until the morning of 5 November. Every vote counts. Not just in the win/loss column but also as a show of support.

As much as I would like to believe the numbers for California, I think they are nuts. I live in Orange County, and in my totally unscientific poll, Obama is winning the undecideds. Also, he is way outselling McCain at my local 7-11.
If you showed me a poll that had McCain up by five points in PA, I might believe it. Maybe. But 22? That’s crazy talk.
I honestly don’t see how Obama gets less than 286 electoral votes. I’ve run the numbers at my friendly neighborhood electoral vote calculators, and I’ve got Obama bottoming out at 286. Most likely, he’ll get 306. His ceiling is in 360’s.
I wish your numbers were right — or even from the planet earth — but I don’t see it. Obama is going to win, narrowly but comfortably. God save the republic.
The world better get ready for a shocker. Because it will happen. I will tune into MSNBC as soon as I get home from work to watch the meltdown.
