StumbleFLASHPOINT:
Obama campaign proactive in Nevada
Saturday, Oct. 4, 2008 | 2:01 a.m.
It’s clear with the polls trending the way they are — including in Nevada — that the Barack Obama campaign is convinced the only way for the Democratic nominee to lose — here and nationwide — is for supporters not to get to the polls. Young people who don’t usually vote, for instance. So this went out Friday from Team Obama here: “Picture this: It’s election night. The polls have closed and the results are in. One candidate will be the 44th President of the United States. If we don’t step up our efforts right now and register as many voters as possible, the winner will be John McCain. The last day to postmark your registration in Nevada is tomorrow — Saturday, October 4th.” As for the McCain campaign, um, is there one in Nevada?

Don't count your chickens before they've hatched
Jon.
Even Hillary said polls don't mean anything. If polls were even close to being accurate, no way would truman have been elected.
Further,
That young voter is very fickle, look what happened to Howard Dean, they change their mind quicker than they can text message, or, abercrombie and fitch could be having a sale on election day, yep, watch out for that reliable
voter. or, like you said, are they even registered?
I'll give Obama one thing, he and his team are masters at the flow of what information does and does'nt get through, but of course he does have the help of the elite media.
