I certainly hope he loses otherwise it’s the route of Zimbabwe for the US

If McCain campaigns (yet to be seen) and runs tough ads like the gas one in Ohio (yet to be seen in other states), then he has a chance.

Short of that, he has no chance.

“Worry” is not the half of it. It scares the hell out of me that this guy could be our next POTUS!

As they say, ONLY IN AMERICA!

God Help Us All.

McCain up 10 in Ohio, but down in Florida? Doesn’t make any sense to me.

For crying out loud, they haven’t even debated yet.

They are running the gas ad in Western PA as well. Very effective since these are mostly lunch pail Democrats over here.

Geez.. I knew it

We are going to have 3 more months of the lamestream communist media telling us how much more ahead Obamarama is.

Remember the clintoon impeachment? Each day we heard how high clintoon’s ratings were (85% ?????????????? at one point)

There is something funny here. Like Florida and like Virginia where the races are really close or Obama has supposedly a slight edge, McCain has significant leads in favorability.

Look:

Virginia: Tied, But McCain +12 favorable (McCain 64-Obama 52)
Colorado: Obama +3 (with leaners), But McCain +9 favorable (60-51)
Florida: Obama +2 (with leaners), But McCain +9 favorable (61-52)

And in the Florida poll we are supposed to believe that in the last 30 days Obama has went from plus 3% with independents to plus 23% over McCain with independents. Now tell me what in the last 30 days since the last poll that had McCain with a substantial lead has provided such a huge jump for independents. In fact most polls I see have indepdents trending toward McCain once again with the glow coming off Obama.

The Ohio poll is very good news but these are a total mystery. Simply put: THE NUMBERS DO NOT JIVE.

Read the Florida polling data and you see he twisted some of the unaffiliated voter data. From someone who handles stats all day long , data does not shift 26 % in three-four weeks ! I suspect his subcontract was polling only in S Fl.
Wait for the Mason -Dixon polling data for Fl .

Courage my friends. At the end of the day when it’s showtime, the undecideds are going to swing to McCain, NOT OBAMA.

Worry you?

Why the hell for?

Out side of Minnesota, there is a statistical dead heat...and even in Minnesota (where I live) only the real moonbatish types are dead set in their vote for obama...BTW, what do you think About McCain in Ohio?

And What do you think about McCain staying in the race despite the Media Orgy that is promoting Obama?

To me, I think McCain looks as strong as ever. And when he selects a VP, he'll get a very nice bounce

Minnesota is a given. It might show an increased lead, but this is an almost hopelessly lefty state. If his opponent weren’t Al Franken, Senator Coleman would go down in flames.

Florida is still very winnable for McCain.

The Colorado numbers don’t surprise me. It might represent an increase, but Colorado is trending definite left.

Are the changes very large? Or are they relatively small?

I know you’re looking at state polls, but the truth is Obama SHOULD BE massively leading both in popular and electoral votes.

He’s not.

And the time between now and election day is huge, in political terms.

It’s a re-run of the Dole campaign.....all over again. Osamabama is the chosen one and there’s nothing you or I or every American Conservative combined can do about it. Sad, very sad.
