Zogby Poll: McCAIN OVER OBAMA 48 - 47

Incredible! McCain has moved into a statistically insignificant lead over Obama, 48-47, per the Zogby Poll (according to the Drudge Report). Is it all coming apart, Obama?

ZOGBY SATURDAY: Republican John McCain has pulled back within the margin of error... McCain outpolled Obama 48% to 47% in Friday, one day, polling. He is beginning to cut into Obama's lead among independents, is now leading among blue collar voters, has strengthened his lead among investors and among men, and is walloping Obama among NASCAR voters.

The polls have been all over the map. I am convinced that all political polls are being taken by hippies high on hemp. (Oh that's a bit retro. Would you believe mystical moobats on Meth? Hopped-up hillbillies on Hooch'? KOS kids on Crack?)

It just goes to show that the polls are not to be believed and should be profoundly ignored. Except, maybe, when they show McCain winning!
Seriously, the Zogby poll may indicate that McCain's internal polling was correct after all, e.g. that the race is too close to call. This certainly lends credence to that view.

Could my good friend Kate from France be right? Could UNV blog have been correct all along about a pending McCain victory? Could the golden light of the sun be breaking through the gray clouds? Are those meadowlarks singing? Children laughing? Flowers blooming?

Probably not. But let's, for the sake of argument, assume that Zogby is right and get our butts to the polls on November 4. WE HAVE A CHANCE!!
