Rush Limbaugh - new poll Obama 50.2 McCain 48.3 BUT 3rd party voters can go McCain

I am listening to Rush Limbaugh on the radio and he is saying that new polls released this morning show the race is much closer that the MSM is trying to lead you to believe.

Already there is trouble in Virginnia as they are throwing out military votes saying that the Pentagon got them to Virginnia too late.

McCain has already filed a law suit.

PA - Dem's are trying to steal election there. I am not sure what is happening but polling places are reporting bullying and issues with voting.

Rush is saying to ignore TV and radio accounts and to vote for McCain / Palin.

He said it is all a "Democrat" underground wave to make everyone get discouraged and not vote.

Please vote for McCain / Palin - if you thought about voting for a 3rd party, please think again - the vote you make might just give the White House to Obama, Nancy Pelosi the House and Harry Reid the Senate. IS that what you think you really want for the next 4 years?

Really?

All is not lost and every single vote will count. Go to the polls and vote taking into account how you really want to live over the next 4 years.

Open borders? Who is going to stop Obama, Reid and Pelosi?

Drivers Licenses for illegals? Who is going to stop Obama, Reid and Pelosi?

Social Security for illegals? Who is going to stop Obama, Reid and Pelosi?

Don't let the entire country end up like California. Please save yourselves!

PA - Dem's are trying to steal election there. I am not sure what is happening but polling places are reporting bullying and issues with voting.

They stole the last election for the House four years ago by using taxpayer funds against the law .. they call it "BonusGate"

I was just at my polls and it was calm, quiet, and mostly elderly people voting.

New Poll: McCain-Obama Race Too Close to Call

Sen. John McCain could be much closer to Sen. Barack Obama in the national popular vote than previously recognized, and may even have a slight lead according to a major new poll conducted by a bipartisan polling group.

The George Washington University Battleground Poll released Tuesday shows McCain closing to within just 2 percent of Sen. Barack Obama in the national vote — 50 percent to 48 percent — well within the poll’s 3.5 percent margin of error.

That would mean the contest is so close that it is statistically impossible to conclude, based on the poll, whether McCain or Obama is ahead.

The organizations conducting the poll, the Tarrance Group and Lake Research Partners, have strong bipartisan credentials. Tarrance CEO Ed Goeas is a Republican strategist, and Celinda Lake of Lake Research is a Democrat.

The George Washington University Battleground Poll differs from other surveys which generally show Obama ahead nationally by anywhere from 5 to 11 percentage points. The poll “offers the distinct perspectives of two top pollsters from different sides of the aisle,â€

....as the day wears on, if this closeness in the polls keeps up, things are gonna get messy. Actually they could get messy anyway. Right now, nothing surprises me.
