Chicago Sun-Times columnist Carol Marin today explains "Why polls aren't worrying Obama's team." As it turns out, there are several reasons:
Obama can certainly lose this race. But McCain's going to have to find a better way to win it than by invoking Paris Hilton or by sniping in his most recent ad how "life in the spotlight must be grand but for the rest of us, times are tough."What's tough for McCain is that despite having had a practice run at the presidency once before, it didn't limber him up, cause him to realize that even the elderly now skillfully navigate the Internet or help him craft a "vision thing."
In the short run, jealous jabs at Obama for having too much face time on the covers of Rolling Stone and GQ may appear to close the gap in national polls. But the aggregation of images -- Obama in Germany, Obama with his cute girls and beautiful wife, Obama visiting his grandmother in Hawaii -- is by dribs and drabs helping America feel familiar with him, visualize him on foreign soil, and see him, perhaps, as both human and presidential.
In some ways the tightening numbers work for Obama, not against him.
"No cause for panic," said Kupper (one of Obama's political flacks). No, indeed, he's off to splash in the Pacific surf with his family.
Hallelujah! It's gonna be OK. Sure, Obama is running against a party that has terribly low approval ratings. Obama has enormous financial backing. Obama receives unprecedentedly favorable coverage from a mainstream media eager to serve as his lapdogs most of the time.
And yet, and yet. . . the race is extraordinarily close at the same time he should enjoy a huge lead. So it's great that media types can assert McCain isn't limber. He's not an Internet wiz and doesn't have a "vision thing." But Obama's pregame victory lap in Germany, his cute girls and beautiful wife, his visiting his typical white person grandmother and other things will ultimately turn things around.
In the media, hope springs eternal.

Sat, 08/09/2008 - 11:38 ET by jefflebowskiWhat else would we expect MSM hacks to say? Would they prefer a runaway for Obama? Noooooo. No, they want a tight race. Hah!
They are running scared because they know they are in trouble. Once the debates start and Obama says who knows what while bumbling like an idiot, he'll be in real trouble. But the MSM will say that's exactly where they want him to be...lol. He'll be a fighter, a comeback kid overcoming blatant racism, etc. I believe he will lose soundly as the people in the middle states are not idiots like those in California and the Northeast.

Only if serious questions
Sat, 08/09/2008 - 12:13 ET by NorthCoasterget asked of the candidates. They'll probably ask something like" What does it feel like to be so old/young..."
My concern is that there will be no real questions asked of either candidate, only "puff questions that will allow Barak to go off on a tangent and display his obvious oratorical skills.

clarification
Sat, 08/09/2008 - 11:44 ET by i was just thinkingIn some ways the tightening numbers work for Obama, not against him. Why? Because I'm in the MSM and I say so!
100% wrong
Sat, 08/09/2008 - 11:44 ET by forest"...is by dribs and drabs helping America feel familiar with him"
That's why Obama's chances of being elected go down a little every day the campaign drags on. People are getting familiar with him, and they don't like what they're finding. Also typical non-voters who might support him, like youths, are slowing losing their enthusiasm and might not end up voting at all.
There's also the problem of Obama over-polling. If the polls show a state as a toss-up, I'd give the edge to McCain. Why do they think close polls are in Obama's favor? There's little to support that.
What a bunch of Moe-Rons!
Sat, 08/09/2008 - 12:54 ET by pbanks7What a bunch of Moe-Rons! Bradley effect is about 8 points. I hope the polls ARE close!

Could it be that the great "silent majority" is at work here? Is there someting most people are not saying? Are most Americans being fooled by this clown and his media lemmings? Or is it just the opposite?

Polsters have no idea
Sat, 08/09/2008 - 11:57 ET by wdhorningIn '04 election, Bush was way behind in the polls, but pulled off a rather impressive win, proving polsters pretty wrong. So if Obama-McCain numbers are tight, and '04 is any indication of the bias in the polls, then one realizes McCain really has the advantage.
Pollsters' predictions

And did you notice how quickly Obama became the 'Ugly American' (who he complains about) and stuck his nose in the affairs of another country, telling Russia how to handle itself. Guess that's one of the 'traditions' he wants to bring back. Quite amusing.

Liberal logic - LOL
Sat, 08/09/2008 - 15:23 ET by Parker1227"In some ways the tightening numbers work for Obama, not against him."
So it follows that as the trend continues, and McCain pulls ahead, then Obama will really have McCain where he wants him.
And, then, when all all those "bitter" swing-state Democrats get one last indepth look at Obama's insane "roots" in Chicago (thanks to the 527's), McCain will be finished for sure.

My thought exactly.
So, just to get it straight, according to Marin, the more the public is exposed to Obama, the more his lead over McCain diminishes and the better that is for Obama because... the public becomes more familiar with Obama and that's good because it causes the poll number to tighten which is good because ...

...the more McCain gains in popularity, the better his chances of becoming President. This will allow the Obama supporters to cry foul when Obama loses and those angry supporters will FINALLY rise up against the capitalist pigs in charge and a new People’s Army will overthrow the [s]elected government and install a communist government, with Obama as the new Stalin.
As an added bonus, Marin, of course, will be appointed the Minister of Information in this new, "progressive" government.

Polls, smolls!
Sun, 08/10/2008 - 00:26 ET by needleThere is only one poll that counts. And the more biased and anti-substantial the MSM news coverage is, the more worthless the pre-election polls are.
Poll coverage is more speculative than global warming predictions. But, hey, the MSM has to throw out some kind of garbage in order to continue justifying itself.
