Not a Done Deal

Let's face it - things are not looking good for John McCain, or the GOP overall.

But let's at least wait until next Wednesday to start picking up the pieces, writes "Ragnar Danneskjold, Typical Bitter Gun-Clinger" at The Jawa Report:

I'm not sure anyone knows what an average of two completely different polls means [referring to the RealClearPolitics average and Rasmussen], much less 30-odd of them, having very different methodologies and sample sizes, all mashed together. I suspect purist statisticians shake their heads at the way we, the great unwashed, commingle completely disparate data together willy-nilly. Whatever the true numbers may be, I think it's fair to say that McCain's numbers appear, on average, to be rising and Obama's numbers appear, on average, to be dropping. The graphs above may not prove anything other than this: the numbers are NOT STATIC. Y'all should not believe the media hype. This election is not a "done deal."

Well put.
