Approve Re: Gallup: Dead Cat Bounce

This has me hopeful:

Electoral Vote Predictor 2004

Electoral-vote.com: President, Senate, House Updated Daily

Compare where Bush and Kerry were at this time to where Obama and McCain are now. :D

I'm no physicist either, but I'd say a splatter is the same thing as a bounce, just with less kitty cohesion.

Going negative isn't working, Magoo/Yahoo: Gallup Daily today shows Obama/Biden at 50% to your declining 42%.

51% to 42%

Perhaps McCain (pow)/Palin (duh) should rethink the going negative thing.

Is that a laden, or an unladen dead cat?

Irish gambling board has a thread going right now recommending putting money on McCain. Apparently the 11/4 odds, (just dropped to 10/3) are considered good enough to be worth risking the money on. I wouldn't, but then, I'm not into risking my hard-earned dosh.

Having a hard time buying this
Quote:
Barack Obama is shown with an edge against John McCain in a North Dakota presidential race that has narrowed to a statistical tie, according to a new Forum poll.

The survey shows Obama squeaking past McCain, 45 percent to 43 percent, a lead that falls within the poll’s margin of error and therefore indicates a dead heat, according to political analysts.

Yah, I'm not buying it based on one poll either. Polling data from ND seems a bit thin anyway. Neither Pollster, 538, nor EVP show any other polls more recent than 9/17-9/17.
