Up from 9 pts in June.
Oh...I guess they all got left in Germany.
Whoops! Sorry, I forgot the meat of the story:
“John McCain has now stretched his lead over Barack Obama to 16 points — 52% to 36% — in his home state of Arizona, according to a new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey.
Counting leaners, the gap is even wider, with McCain ahead 57% to 38%.
In late June, McCain led Obama 49% to 40%. That was the first Arizona survey since Hillary Clinton dropped out of the race for the Democratic presidential nomination.”
I can recall asking my fellow Americans that live in AZ not to re-elect this guy.
My how times are a changing.
If we can only block the other 56 states, McCain has this election in the bag.
Well I would hope so. :)
I bet he’s even better in Utah
—McCain, more nuclear, more refineries and more drilling.
—Obama, a tire pressure tester
That’s a rathter anemic lead considering its McCain’s home state. He should have at least a 20 point lead there. BTW back when McCain was runing for his first term to replace Barry Goldwater in the US Senate, his opponents originally were going to attack him as a carpet bagger who had only moved to Arizona a few years before when he married his wealthy wife who is an heiress to a beer distributorship in Arizona. They abandoned that line of attack when McCain reminded them that the place he had lived the longest was Hanoi.
“He should have at least a 20 point lead there”
It’s a NINETEEN POINT spread with leaners. Let me put it another way: McCain is closer in Illinois than Obama is in Arizona.
LOL
Wonder of the Annointed One Obama is going to open up offices in Arizona like he announced he was doing in OK?
“I can recall asking my fellow Americans that live in AZ not to re-elect this guy.”
I did the same thing
McCain, more nuclear, more refineries and more drilling.
Obama, a tire pressure tester
I put air in my tires this weekend. They were a couple of PSI low. Any Freepers in my neighborhood are welcome to come by and do the right thing by airing up their tires. I have an air compressor (a.k.a. gasoline-saving appliance). I don't know if it's Energy-Star compliant. It runs on 220VAC.
That was a bit of a curve ball, you’ve got a good eye.
I haven’t voted for him for over a decade and I’ll never will again - like my vote matters.
WHAT ARE YOU, NUTS OR SOMETHING? ONLY A STUPID IDIOT WOULD THINK THAT WE HAVE 57 STATES. GOOD GOD! IF THE PRESS EVER HEARD YOU SAY SOMETHNG THAT STUPID, THEY WOULD BE ALL OVER YOU; RIDICULING YOU AT EVERY CHANCE. DON'T YOU REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED TO DAN QUAYLE AND THE POTATO(E) SPELLING BEE. YOU CAN'T GO AROUND ACTING LIKE YOU ARE A DEMOCRAT AND RUNNING FOR PRESIDENTS. (sarcasm off-return to normal reading)
