Well I guess that's not really bad news.

[Past Your Eyes]

Jews? You mean the same Jews that regularly elect people like Keith Ellison?

This is a poll of Registered voters. Figure likely voters would be McCain up by 10. Add in the Brad;ey effect and McCain is up by 15%.

Makes sense. Wait until the bubbies realize that “his hOliness” will singoff on Rangel’s reinstatement of the draft. The SC will rule that women will also be subject to conscription. These folks will realize that the “hOly One” wants to draft their grandsons and their granddaughters.

Florida Elections Day results: McCain 53% Obama 46%.

McCain is also meeting with Latin Grammy Award-winning Puerto Rican reggaeton superstar Daddy Yankee today. Looks like he's going to do some campaigning of sorts for McCain to get the hispanic vote.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

15% were undecided? It’s typical for the modern American voter. They are too busy get involved or learn the issues.

The real numbers will come out in October. Until then, any polling data is a waste of time either way.

I remember back in the 90’s, when a sports team won a championship game in Dallas, Chicago, wherever... there were small riots.... and when they lost a championship game there were larger riots.

I wonder what is going to happen on Super Tuesday?

[SolidWood]

Yes Jews, especially seniors who are common in Florida. Obama does terrible among Jews for a Democrat. Whereas Democrat candidates usually get 80% at least of the Jewish vote, Obama can be glad to get 50-60% at best. McCain is very attractive to Jewish voters, and he can pull an Ike or Reagan in this case (Ike was the GOP candidate with highest % of Jewish votes methinks, Reagan had 40something %. Bush 2000 had IIRC 10% but 2004 30something %). So while a slim majority of Jews probably will vote Democrat, the loss of a lot of their votes can spell doom for Obama in swing states.

McCain is going to win there.

Florida has been trending more and more Republican ever since 2000. This will not be the year that trend reverses.

[Forward the Light Brigade]

So it starts—the dis-assembly of the Oprah candidate. Hillary warned the people you can’t elect this fool. The radical left has doomed the election as long as McCain doesn’t blow it.

I wonder what is going to happen on Super Tuesday?

Better yet... can you imagine what will happen if the obamessiah pulls a Gore? -- ie. wins the popular vote but loses the electoral count.

We are going be to poll-fatigued come late September.
