ZOGBY SATURDAY: Republican John McCain has pulled back within the margin of error... The three-day average holds steady, but McCain outpolled Obama 48% to 47% in Friday, one day, polling.

THIS ELECTION IS ALL ABOUT THREE JOE'S: JOE COOK, AND HIS VIDEO - THE NUMBER ONE YOUTUBER OF THE ELECTION, SEEN BY NEARLY 12 MILLION PEOPLE - DEAR MR. OBAMA: JOE THE PLUMBER: AND GI JOE - JOHN MCCAIN.

“Are they a mile wide and an inch deep? We’ll find out on Election Day.” - Trey Walker, McCain mid-Atlantic campaign manager, whose territory includes Virginia

From the New York Times:

If the primary race was an experiment in building the capacity of the Obama organization, the general election will show whether a political campaign can change the electoral map.

... What started out organically — campaign officials saw organizational promise in Virginia last year, when 20,000 signatures were gathered to make Mr. Obama the first candidate to qualify for the primary ballot — has come full circle. Now, people driving by the storefront offices are drawn in by their visibility and put to work.

The Obama campaign has broken the country into a collection of battleground states, which are dissected into precincts that are parceled one more time into neighborhood teams. (Ohio, for example, is divided into 1,231 neighborhoods.) And each of these teams, if the recruiting is up to speed, has a leader who, ideally, lives just down the block from all those doors that need to be knocked on.

GOTV weekend starts tomorrow morning. It's the final push to identify, educate and mobilize voters, and in states like Virginia it will determine who wins and who loses. 

Over the next four days, we still have thousands of volunteer shifts to fill across the country, from knocking doors to making phone calls, organizing lit drops and processing data. No matter where you live, if you can commit to one or more shift between now and the close of polls on the Election Day, sign up now. Just enter your zip code and we'll show you when and where you're needed most. 

Tomorrow morning, hundreds of thousands of volunteers will be waking early to begin a four day fight to determine the direction this country takes for the next four years. We've built one of the largest and most ambitious field operations in history, but without your help it's an inch deep.  

Polls close in four days.

A former McCain supporter explains, in his own words and on on his blog, why he will vote for Obama. In Bob The Small Business Man's mind, Joe The Plumber is a fake.
