Polls, Polls, Polls

The polls are all over the place, much like quantum mechanics.

"One reason is the wide variation in Obama leads: Just yesterday, an array of polls showed the Democrat leading by as little as two points and as much as 15 points."

Today, Rasmussen has Obama up by only 3%. That's within margin of error.

"Clearly, in recent weeks, McCain has been able to cast Obama as a leftist. He has made the issue of income redistribution central to the campaign. With the aid of Joe the Plumber and the discovery of Obama's Chicago PBS interview, in which he lamented the absence of redistribution of wealth, McCain has made the proposition seem central to Obama's ideology."

It all depends on who turns out to vote. "...it's possible the Obama campaign faces a challenge turning out the untested voters it's relying on to win."
