RSSOn the Eve of the Midterm Election … What could Be Swaying the Polls? Common Sense?
What was once referred to as a “Big Blue Tidal Wave” is turning into a case of cold sweats for Democratic leaders. Democrats with the aide of a willing media all but said the midterm 
elections were over and that Democrats would control both houses not less than two weeks ago. A funny thing happened on the way to the forum. The momentum has shifted and is on the side on Republicans in so many races. It happened prior to John Kerry’s gaff regarding the military. Another interesting thing is occuring, President George W. Bush’s approval rating is trending upwards.
Representative Rahm Emanuel of Illinois, the Democrat leading his party’s effort to win control of the House, said, “It’s inevitable that there would be some tightening in the end.”

of optimism voiced by other Democrats, added, “This is making me nervous.”
“I don’t know what to make of it,” said Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-Ill.), chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. (Washington Post)

So what’s next, 7–11 going to home deliver bags of Doritos as a supplemental service to this?

Within a couple of hours, a well-groomed delivery man – sometimes a moonlighting actor or chef – arrives at the doorstep of his Manhattan apartment carrying weed neatly packaged in small plastic containers.
George Allen – Jim Webb Virginia Senate Race, With polls like this … Poll Credibility is on the line.
The Virginia US Senate race between (R) George Allen and (D) Jim Webb is being predicted as being one of the close election races on Tuesday. However, with the election polls being all over the place, one really begins to wonder about the credibility of polling.
A SurveyUSA poll has (D) Webb up by 7. However a Mason-Dixon poll has Webb ahead by 1 point and a Gallup poll has Allen ahead by 3. It would appear that the credibility of many that poll is on the line. However, when in doubt I will go with Scott Rasmussen who has been very reliable in the past. Rasmussen has it a dead heat at 49–49.
