Battleground is now showing the same big shift to Obama that the other polls have been showing. McCain needs to find a way to stem the tide or I fear that this thing is going to get very ugly.

I sent this email to the McCain camp this morning:

In his acceptance speech at the Republican convention, McCain asked us to "fight with me." But now he has changed his tune, arguing that we should be "bipartisan" at a time when the Democrats are trying to destroy our party and put a radical leftist in the White House.

Barack Obama has given our side tons of ammunition: His woeful lack of experience, his ties to Alinsky, his friendship with anti-American terrorist William Ayers, his allegiance to the racist anti-semite Jeremiah Wright, his Senate record of voting for higher taxes every chance he got, and his opposition to reining in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. But instead of fighting to win this election, John McCain is calling on us, his supporters and donors, to be "bipartisan," to bend over, grab our ankles, and let the liberal Democrats have their way with us.

From where I sit, it looks like McCain has stopped fighting. So how can he ask us to fight with him? I will no longer support Republican candidates who refuse to fight for what we believe in. John McCain must decide for himself whether he is going to put Washington "bipartisan" elitism first, or his country first.

Unless McCain drops his attempts to cuddle up to Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, and the rest of the Democratic Party, and instead starts swinging, I will not vote for him on November 4.

McCain and the Republicans are melting down in parallel with the perception of the economy.

To be honest, I'm not all that sure he really wants to win. Get ready for President Obama (I'm getting sick already just thinking about it).

Hope they do not hamstring Sarah with McClames reach out baloney. If they do she will have to go back to Alaska to set up the seccession. Alaska may be the first state to drop out of Obama Nation. Only She can save us now.

Five point deficit in manipulated poll is not “getting ugly”. Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

Kerry takes lead in new opinion poll
Washington
October 8, 2004 - 5:29PM

Democrat John Kerry has taken a slight lead over US President George W Bush, according to a new opinion poll. The survey by the Associated Press found that Kerry had gained ground with women, boosting his overall popularity and cutting into the president’s advantage on national security.

The two candidates remain in a very close race ahead of a second debate tomorrow in St. Louis.

Among 944 likely voters, the Democratic ticket of Kerry and John Edwards led Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, 50 per cent to 46 per cent, in the poll conducted for the AP by Ipsos-Public Affairs.

The October 4-6 survey had a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points. The race was tied at 47 per cent among the 1,273 registered voters in the poll, similar to others showing a tight race.

Forget polls-the election was just stolen in Ohio right in plain sight.

Battleground recently changed its methodology. They said so. So Obama movement is just in line with the other polls because they’re now using the same methodology.

The problem is that McCain is stuck on “Senator” when he should be being presidential and taking it to Barry.

He has been in the “mutual admiration society” of Washington and the Senate in particular for too damned long.

He had better nut up and start hammering away and realize the media is totally in the tank for Barry.

The Republican establishment thought the Media would be nice to McCain. That’s why they wanted him nominated.

The Media gave us John McCain so the Media could give the country Barack Obama.

Let’s hope he figures it out. He needs to start fighting and naming names.

The unemployment, economy and bailout are mounting and persuading the ignorant that it’ll be worse under Obama is difficult vs. MSM chronic torture that the savior is here.

Bush was down by a comparable amount this time four years ago.

Now is not the time for grown men to spook the children and horses.

I still predict a McCain victory. And if the polls are within ten points the week before election day I predict an electoral landslide for McCain.

Despite the wailing and gnashing of teeth and third party protest voters there are STILL only two possibilities next January.

John McCain is sworn in as President.

Barrack Obama is sworn in as President.

I think the former is more likely and infinitely preferable, and so I will work towards that result.

I came on here to see how many doom-and-gloomers were around doing the "McCain is toast," "This election is lost," and "Get ready for President Obama" thing.

And yep, they're here. They sound somewhat reminiscent of Harry Reid with his "This war is lost." And, ooops...it wasn't. Remember?

Buck up, folks and stop giving up just because the road gets bumpy.

It ain't over until November 4.

To: tatown; All
I'm am taking a statistics class right now (let me be honest, I am fighting for my life trying to pass a statistics class right now), but here is something that is in the fine line in all these polls, they are skewed towards Obama. The polls that are out are heavy Democrat samples plus added points trying to predict the outcome of the effect of all the newly registered democrats. However, the polls do not take into account that a lot of those new Democrats are PUMAS who might deliver a good portion of the 18 million votes that went to Hillary to McCain or many of the left of center Democrats that would have never voted for Obama to begin with. They also don't take into account (because they don't know the statistical data) how many of those new registered Democrats wont vote.

Be prepared for massive voter fraud accusations from the left when McCain wins. Personally, I expect riots.

My prayer.

Please God, make the rightwing folks shut up and stop bashing McCain and Sarah Palin.

The world needs someone who understands national security is also worldwide security.
