ABC News' Matthew Jaffe Reports: As Election Day looms just over two weeks away, Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., said Saturday that with Republicans firing "vicious" and "dangerous" attacks at Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., voters are "having a difficult time" opting for the man who would become the nation's first African American president.How is it that a guy with the money Obama has, and all the "transformational leadership" that Colin Powell tells us he has, is still only beating McCain by about 2% in likely voters? It ain't just racism that's holding him back.
"Undecided people are having a difficult time just culturally making the change, making the move for the first African American president in the history of the United States of America," the Democratic vice-presidential nominee said at a San Francisco fundraiser Saturday evening. "So we need to respond. We need to respond at the moment, immediately, not wait, not hang around, not assume any of this won't stick."
...Biden hit the Bay Area for three fundraisers Saturday, helping rake in an estimated $2.2 million for the campaign. At his second event of the day, in Piedmont, Biden predicted that the ticket will experience a drop in polls this week.
"Mark my words, you're going to see these polls drop this week," Biden forecasted. "We got a bump. We're going to be in good shape. You're going to see them drop. There's nothing automatic about this at all."
As far as declining polls, the polls always close up at the end of the race. Rush has a theory that the pollsters realize they have to stop playing games with their numbers lest they look silly on election day. Consequently, the big leads enjoyed by Democrats up to the last couple of weeks or so suddenly go away.
