I just have to laugh at the Freepers who truly believe that McCain is going to walk away with this election, even talking in terms of a landslide. I have yet to see McCain get close to a solid Electoral majority, and I think it stays that way right up to Election Day.

I think its alot of wishful thinking. Fact is, Obama will get 40% no matter WHAT he says, does, or is revealed about him.

This is going to be a dogfight, especially with the media so incessently bashing Palin, that has GOT to hurt. Black turnout is going to be historic, and I am not so sure there is going to be a big "Bradley" effect either.

Catowner, you are all over the place friend. You had McCain down 10% before the Conventions and were pretty gloomy.

The whole trend was for McCain to be close before the debates. Obama was destroyed by Hillary in their debates because he cannot think on his feet or without a teleprompter. He is a gaffe machine while McCain makes few mistakes.

McCain will be up a solid 5 to 7 after the first debate and then these tossups will fall in line.

LOL! The McCain Palin ticket is just getting revved up! The media has spend 2 weeks trying to destroy Palin in front of an America with a two day attention span for BS arguments the media is throwing out about Palin.

PS. I know you don’t believe this, but probably 80% of America can identify with her with the BS this slug of an ex brother in law put the Palin family through.

Yes, Americans do agree with getting even, when the guy they want to get even with has it coming. You don’t taser a 10 year old stepson and not have the boy’s maternal family come after you in the America I know........

Oh get real. This poll was taken on Sunday and undersamples churchgoers, which undersamples pro-life voters and conservative voters.

Check out The right-wing liberal.

I think this will be a tough election for McCain to win. When I look over the electoral map at Real Clear Politics there just isn’t much left to pick up and certainly nothing he can lose. You add in the rabid media and it is going to be a real tough battle.

Lord help us if Obama wins. I have doubled my prayers at night, but mostly to ask for forgiveness for the terrible names I call the media all day.

I see from your pings you seem to have a great interest in the polls. Is it a hobby or a profession? (Also, you sound as though you want McCain to lose. Are you an Obama supporter?) Check out Rove’s electoral college map. It has been changing over from undecided to red lately, including FL and others. VA, which was blue recently is now trending away from Obama, yet Obama has not picked up anything during the same period. The trend for the moment is quite clear and decisive, although much can happen in seven weeks.

“”I just have to laugh at the Freepers who truly believe that McCain is going to walk away with this election, even talking in terms of a landslide. I have yet to see McCain get close to a solid Electoral majority, and I think it stays that way right up to Election Day. “”

I just have to laugh at the Freepers who truly believe that Obama has a chance in this election, even talking in terms that voter fraud by ACORN will make the differece.

I have yet to see any evidence Obama has nullified the Bradley/Dinkins/Wilder effect. In races for Governor black Demoracts underperform their polling numbers in general elections anywhere from 5-18% 95% of the time.

This election for President is even higher stakes, we are picking not only an executive but in essence a our tribal leader.

Save for a serious October surpise, like a video showing McCain in a KKK grand wizard outfit having sex with an underage black girl, the McCain/Palin campaign have this election in the bag.

I'm one of those FReepers and I still stand by my prediction. McCain by at leats 55% of the votes, Obama 45% or less. McCain with more than 300 EVs and Obama with the leftoovers.

The fact is, that polls right now are not reflective of what the voters will think one or two weeks away from Nov 4th, and when it comes right down to the wire, people will be examining the candidates a lot more carefully than they are right now.

Just before casting their ballots, people will be asking themselves, "do I really want to take a chance on a known quantity of ZERO and a dangerous individual when it comes to national defense, or do I go with national safety and a proven quantity?"

I simply cringe when I see your name and read the negative pessimism that you constantly spew here. You have every right to do it... but you offer nothing in the way of help and seek to divide and demoralize.
