Unlikely to....... Likely?

Perhaps that campaign trip, err…. Senatorial fact-finding mission to the Middle East and Europe wasn’t such a hot idea afterall.

A new USA Today /Gallup national poll shows Sen. Barack Obama leading Sen. John McCain 47%-44% among registered voters. However, when the sample is reduced to only those likely to vote, McCain jumps to a 49%-45% lead.

And we’ll use our highly unscientific and purely anecdotal poll results divining to suggest the lead may be even greater as McCain supporters, being the cranky lot we are, will be getting up early on November 4th anyway so we may as well take our collective grumpy arses down to the polling place. We’re counting on more than just a few M.T. Suit supporters, however, to completely forget that Tuesday is voting day as getting their buzz on takes priority.
