brown should win, but not just because the Unv of Cinci poll has him in front, having 9 polls in a row showing him ahead shows it more than just what one poll does.

No, that just says that, if the election were held today, Brown would likely win.  Come Novemeber, who knows?

With how bad the situation in Ohio is, I find it real hard for the GOP to turn it around.

The point I was simply making was regarding an argument I had with Quincy.  Quincy was waiting for the Univ of Cincy poll to see how things are looking before making a real decision.  I just think taking all the polls into consideration is a better way to judge how things look than just one poll.  For example if 8 polls show the race with one person ahead, and one show the other person ahead, chances are likley than the ones with the 8 polls ahead are more than likley closer to the actual outcome. 

Obviously their is   to predicting races than just looking at the polls, but I was just trying to make the poiint when taking polls into consideration its better to take all the polls into consideration, than just putting everything into one particualr poll or pollster which is something Okalawandi seems to do.
