Obama has gained 7 points in the latest Zogby poll to retake the lead over McCain: www.zogby.com

Old Zogby: Obama 41% / McCain 46%

NEW Zogby: Obama 47% / McCain 45%
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The honeymoon is over for Palin, and ppl are seeing the real Palin after one interview with ABC. Also bad economic, means bad news for McCain, who admitted he doesn't know anything about economy.

Because McCain show once again, he doesn't know how to handle the Economy, how can you see said Economy is still strong after just a biggest drop of stock market since 9/11. And also more and more of Palin skeleton is been revealed.

The Wall Street Liquidity crisis boiled over just as the novelty of Sarah Palin was getting stale. Real issues are now on the front page and McCain will not be able to explain away the catastrophic GOP failures of the past 8 years.



Obama will win....

How about this.. People are finding out about McCain and the truths..

this is in http://www.vietnamveteransagainstjohnmccain.com/cin_unfit_2.htm



Post-POW Years: Political Ambition and a New, Young, Rich Wife



Upon his release from North Vietnam and return to the United States in 1973, McCain reunited with his wife, Carol, who had been permanently crippled in a car accident while he was a POW.



Still yearning to become an admiral, McCain enrolled in the National War College at Fort McNair in Washington, D.C. and underwent physical therapy in order to fly again. The Navy excused his permanent disabilities and reinstated him to flight status, effectively positioning him for promotion.



Timberg described McCain's advancement: "in the fall of 1974, McCain was transferred to Jacksonville as the executive officer of Replacement Air Group 174, the long-sought flying billet at last a reality. A few months later, he assumed command of the RAG, which trained pilots and crews for carrier deployments. The assignment was controversial, some calling it favoritism, a sop to the famous son of a famous father and grandfather, since he had not first commanded a squadron, the usual career path."



While Executive Officer and later as Squadron Commander McCain used his authority to arrange frequent flights that allowed him to carouse with subordinates and "engage in extra-marital affairs."



This was a clear violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice rules against adultery and fraternization with subordinates. But, as with all his other past behaviors, McCain was never penalized; instead he always got away with his transgressions.

Why you ask? Because of the bad economic news reports that overshadow everything about Palin (and her 15 minutes of fame). McCain is trying to win this election on "personalities" vs. "issues"...But, these are very dark and unhappy times...and he was taken aback from the economic curve ball. God is working against the McCain camp in the form of bad luck and bad timing. But, these folks here in this forum are like an ostrich with the head stuck in the sand...they refuse to see the truth of the matter. I suppose when McCain loses the election...they will say we stole it from them...Hahahahahahaha.

Because just like all honeymoons must end, so did his.



I'm not into polls like many of the Republicans were when McCain was leading.



Because the only numbers that will matter are those on November 4th.

Au Contraire, McCain and many Republicans knew in 2003 and 2005 that there were problems with Fannie Mae. It is your annonted one, who's shown himself as part of the problem, illustrated by the second link which illustrates a lawsuit Obama sponsored which took Citibank to court for 'Discriminatory lending practices towards poor urban Blacks." Obama has also received 100K+ in campaign donations, number 2 to Christopher Dodd from this entity. Its easy to sit there and toss a lot of blame out there but, this crisis began under Jimmy Carter and escalated during the Clinton adnimiistration when the Clinton Congress deregulated these banks. Top Democrats made over 92 Million dollars. This if anything is a strong argument AGAINST the government running anything. Furthermore, two of Fannie Mae's CEO's who cooked the books and engaged in subversive lending practices, Raines and Johnson, are Obama's economic advisors. What Obama has shown you is his absolute IGNORANCE. It's easy to blame Bush, heck! that is his whole campaign strategy. It's difficult to take on his own party who is very culpable in this debacle. Obama missed the boat here. It was Democrats policies that failed the American public.

Watch how the neo-cons will run like cockroaches when the lights go on after the first dabate and the polls REALLY sway towards Obama...I doubt many of them will even bother coming here after that...they're going to get CREAMED!

Luckily, Palin is on Hannity and Colmes tonight and she will help rejuvenate support. Why is she being interviewed by Hannity? He is the only that will let her talk and not try to portray her negatively. Obama has the support of every network excluding Fox.

Poles switch based on who got the poling phone call that day.



One thing is for sure.......if the majority of America actually were inpendent thinking, let me decide for myself and family what to do with my hard earned money, I don't a need a nose ring to sway me how to think - walk, talk and chew gum type of voter........liberals would never get elected.



Dems love the sheeple, they need the sheeple, they can't make it without the sheeple. Your nose ring caravan will be visiting a town near you in the next 7 weeks. Pole results will only relfect who many sheeple nose rings were installed.

Polls can be read anyway you wish. Why do all the polls always say different things? Good try, go back and have another glass of kool aid and think harder for your next question.

Because if a lie is stated enough times, there is a percentage of people who will believe it regardless of the lack of any evidence.

The liberals have smeared Palin in the most vicious and reprehensible ways for weeks now, and the fools are buying it.

All we heard from dems. when Mccain was leading in the polls was how the polls didn't matter. Now if, if, Obama is leading, the polls matter again?

Funny logic the dems. have.
