http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/election_20082/2008_presidential_election/florida/election_2008_florida_presidential_election Rasmussen Reports conducted a special Florida survey to measure the immediate impact of the offshore drilling issue on the Presidential race. As one part of the survey, respondents were told that McCain favored offshore drilling and said it would bring down the price of gas and oil. They were also told that Barack Obama opposed offshore drilling and said it would not bring down the price of gas and oil. After hearing the views of both McCain and Obama, most Florida voters agreed with McCain--61% said it was likely that offshore drilling would reduce gas prices. Only 34% disagreed...

ABC News/Washington Post poll...: If everything is so good for Barack Obama, why isn't everything so good for Barack Obama? Obama has less of a head-to-head advantage against McCain than these views would imply. Obama leads by a fairly narrow 6 points; among those most likely to vote the two are locked in a dead heat. no bounce from Obama's victory in the long-fought Democratic nomination campaign. Obama...his support relies heavily on young adults, whose turnout on Election Day is far less reliable than their elders'. He leads McCain by more than a 2-1 margin among Americans under 30; that...

This general election campaign is getting off to a rollicking start. From McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds: It was remarkable to see Barack Obama’s hysterical diatribe in response to a speech in which his name wasn’t even mentioned. These are serious issues that deserve a serious debate, not the same tired partisan rants we heard today from Senator Obama. Senator Obama has pledged to unconditionally meet with Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad -- who pledges to wipe Israel off the map, denies the Holocaust, sponsors terrorists, arms America’s enemies in Iraq and pursues nuclear weapons. What would Senator Obama talk about with...

New Rasmussen Florida poll: McCain 53 Obama 38 McCain 44 Clinton 45 The battle over Florida’s convention delegates may be taking its toll on Barack Obama’s prospects in the Sunshine State. For the second time in three months, John McCain enjoys a double digit lead over the Democratic frontrunner. I think Florida is very solid in R column if Obama is the nominee. Jews and Latinos will abandon him in droves. I have a feeling McCain will win PA in the end. OH is tougher than PA. The bxxxtch is definitely a more formidable opponent than Dukakis Obama. Fortunately she...

If the general election is McCain or Obama…. You can vote for one of those two, not vote for President, write in (which is the same as not voting), or vote third party I will NEVER vote for McCain, you can take that to the bank! If you feel the same way, that leaves us with: Don’t vote, Write in, third party or OBAMA… Not voting buys me nothing, write in or third party may make me feel a little better but unless the third part ticket is FRED/DUNCAN I don’t see myself going that route... But I’m toying with...
