Leaked internals look good for Maverick/Barracuda

I really hope this guy is right.

We keep telling you: THIS AINÂ’T OVER.

Unless you decide to let the Eeyores convince you that it is. In which case the Obamamedia really ought to cut you a check for doing their work for them. . . .

Remember how we've told you time and time again that the only polls you can even remotely trust are the campaigns' internal polls? For the very simple reason that those internal pollsters have absolutely no agenda other than finding out what's really going on in order to know what they should be doing next. Those pollsters, while certainly plagued by the same unknowns that every other pollster in history have had to deal with, have to get the right numbers or they could cause their campaigns to lose the election.

Ever wondered why both campaigns are investing heavily into, say, Pennsylvania, one of the states that, according to the Eeyoremedia, is going to go fully in the tank for the Obaminable Blowman to the tune of 127% voting for him and -7,443% voting for McCain/Palin? What? You think they like throwing money into already settled races, especially with so many much tighter races to choose from?


C'mon. Even Obambi isn't daft enough to throw money into a race he's leading by double digits and McCain/Palin, being considerably more strapped for cash since he hasn't committed massive election fraud by deliberately turning off basic security features in order to get donations from various caves in Pakistan, certainly isn't about to.

So, again: The only polls we've ever been interested in seeing were the internals, and neither campaign is particularly forthcoming with sharing those.

Until now. Apparently the people at the Quinn and Rose show have a contact in the Republican camp who is willing to share. Yes. the internal numbers.

A warning: When we checked out that link, it loaded horrendously slowly. But if you want a quick summary, here it is:

New Jersey: McCain 48% - Obambi 43% - Undecided 7%, undecideds currently breaking 4 to 1 for McCain.

Have you put the razor down yet?

Michigan, the state that the McCain campaign hasn't put much of an effort in at all, thinking it already lost: McCain 44% - Obambi 42% - Undecided 10%

OK, now here’s the bad news. There's a state where Obambi leads.

California: Obambi 44% - McCain 43% - Undecided 9%.

People, if Dear Leader isn't landsliding by double digits in the People's Socialist Republic of Kalifornikate??? We rest our case.

Oh, and the state we mentioned before that Obambi is supposedly going to carry in a double-digit clobbering, yet for some reason he is focusing a LOT of effort in?

Pennsylvania: McCain 55% - Obambi 33% - Undecideds 10%

We guess they really don’t like being called racist, redneck, bitter, gun and bible-clinging xenophobes after all. Imagine our surprise.

Number one reason among Democrats breaking for McCain? They're pissed off that he's cheating and trying to buy the election.

And that's all from the horse's mouth, pollsters who have absolutely zero interest in being wrong and who will most likely never work again if they are, so it's safe to assume that they're working their little butts off overtime trying to identify and eliminate whatever unknowns they can find. And we can guarantee you that those are the same numbers staring the Obamessiah in the face from his internal pollsters, because they're operating under the same conditions.

Which would go a long way towards explaining why he's been so pissy and irritable as of late, kicking reporters from newspapers whose only offense has been not endorsing him and generally being a whiny little pissant. . . .
