I'm voting Obama; Can't wait until tomorrow night. Got my tickets to the event in Chicago, and am just gonna go there after work, since I'm only a few blocks North.

"It is also worth mentioning that the online crowd tends to be younger people, who normally vote democratic. So online polls will normally be slanted very far to the Democratic side.

They try to do phone polls or interviews polls, because you can rig an online polls.
And supposedly a percentage of young people don't have telephones.

Telephone polls are subject to the area you are doing it in. The area I am in is almost completely Democrat (Chicago).
The point is not that polls can be rigged, it is that they are (and have been for a very long time) slanted to the left to give the Democrats a stonger appearance than they actually have. Remember the last two elections? The polls all showed how Bush didn't stand a chance.

Considering more people consider themselves Democrats than Republican, it really isn't a slant.

I assume you have come to that conclusion based off of the polls?
Fact of the matter is that the polls have consistently shown a left bias through history, this time around is no different.

If you want a aggregate of many polls, look at pollster.com or fivethirtyeight.com.
You make over $250,000 a year that you are worried about the 4% tax increase that Obama wants to put back in place?
We need something new. The last 8 years have been nothing but a downward spiral for the United States. The economy is horrible, the war has gone on way to long and the list can go on. McCain isn't the change, he will pick up where Bush left off. His campaign has been filled with fear, lies and an ignorant running mate that was picked not for her expertise or experience, but to have a pretty face to catch attention.

I don't have time to get into another political debate. I did write an entire message, but I don't want to debate about it since I will be going to bed soon. No one is chancing opinions this late in the election anyway.

Bah, I love my country and am willing to pay the tax it comes with. I am a republican but truly convinced McCain can't run a country. I'd rather pay high taxes than have high inflation and the dollar be worth nothing world wide.
Bad republican candidate this round, Obama is a great intelligent man, although I don't agree with him on everything.
McCain and Palin have made this a game, its not about the winners - its about fixing the country and replacing its values and assets.
