    I'd also like to see some support for that claim, now that it's been made at least twice.

    From The Washington Post. Only a poll but between anecdotal reports and responses there appears to be some movement. That allied with the very poorly-chosen, though not offensive imo, pig comment yesterday will not have helped him.

    That's a bit of a climb-down from the claim that "[d]isaffected Hillary voters are flocking to the McCain/Palin ticket in droves..."

    Poor guy - maybe fox "news" gave him that line and he might have thought they were a real news channel.

    Agreed. Like everything in this election there is a degree of hyperbole and exaggeration. Considering how close it is likely to be it may not need an awful lot of movement either way. Nevertheless the problems Obama had in not decisively closing out the Dem nomination may indeed be a factor in how it all pans out.

    Actually, as an intelligent, apparently clued-in, well/straight spoken american voter and taxpayer, I would very much like to hear what what Matt Damon has to say about the US elections.

    I presume you're talking about yourself being intelligent, clued-in and straight-spoken, not Matt Damon.

    NTM
