Fox will only say that Obama leads McCain by 7 in todays Gallup poll with Registered voters.

They claim they are fair and balanced??? They will not say it`s a 2 point race with likely voters. Brit may mention it???

Word From Obi Wan, Another Insider, and a Third Sign for Optimism NRO ^ | Thursday, October 16, 2008 | Jim Geraghty

My mentor, Obi-Wan Kenobi, checked in, perhaps worried by this post, as a few other readers were. (Folks, I don't like sharing bad news, but what am I supposed to do when I hear it?)

Obi Wan was very positive about last night's debate.

"McCain won every question, looked like a leader and not the law professor that Obama looked like. McCain hit the themes of Joe the Plumber and big government as the basic difference and then hurt Obama's credibility on issue after issue.

The media types will try and take the win away. — they tried in 1980 to say Carter won or that the debate was a draw. But the voters thought otherwise. It may take more than a couple of days, but as people start making judgments and ending their mood swings, the numbers should really help McCain."

I have always looked at this election race since the Republican convention as a 4 quarter football game. Incidentally from the end of the convention to the last day of campaigning it is 60 days. October 19 will be the end of the of the 3rd quarter. Today is October 16; Rasmussen has it as a 4 point lead; Gallup Tracking traditional of likely voters has it at 2 points and IBD/TIPP has it also at 2 points; Zogby has it at 5 points. What this tells me that for anybody supporting McCain-they are not going to swayed by the ridiculous MSM polls (CBS, ABC or CNN) and that they know that McCain is definitely in the game. The Republican turnout will be huge; the thought by the Lefties that Republicans don’t have the same enthusiasm as Obama’s supporters haven’t been paying attention to Sarah’s SRO rallies. Yes, I admit over 1/2 of McCain voters are voting more for Sarah than McCain but the result remains the same and the voters voting for Sarah would rather crawl to the voting booth if they had to than allow Obama to turn America into a socialist Utopia.

By the way I kind of owe you an apology. I reread what I posted to you and the way I said it came off as needlessly obnoxious. I apologize.

Time to get Palin on National TV. Buy a primetime slot like Obama and show her live at a rally in the heartland.

Absolutely! They should NOT let Obama have the last word. Go after him, and correct his lies and promote their plans.

Agreed. Look for the MSM to go after him like they went after Palin's daughter.

They've already started: Link

The dems are going after his job and his employer's business:

Legally speaking, Wurzelbacher isn’t a plumber, because he isn’t licensed by Toledo, Lucas County or the state of Ohio. A representative of the Toledo Building Inspection Division said a plumber must be registered with the state and only then can apply for a city plumbing contractor’s license.

Wurzelbacher said he worked under the license held by his boss, Al Newell of Newell Plumbing and Heating Co. of Toledo. Newell is a licensed plumbing contractor in Toledo, records show. But anyone working under Newell should have a journeyman’s plumbing license or an apprenticeship license, officials said. <[p> Building Inspection officials said Newell was responsible for making sure that anyone working under him was licensed. The Toledo Plumbing Board of Control may consider sanctions against Wurzelbacher or Newell, officials told NBC affiliate WNWO of Toledo.

Crooks and liars is claiming Joe is related to Charles Keating.: "Turns out that Joe Wurzelbacher from the Toledo event is a close relative of Robert Wurzelbacher of Milford, Ohio. Who’s Robert Wurzelbacher? Only Charles Keating’s son-in-law and the former senior vice president of American Continental, the parent company of the infamous Lincoln Savings and Loan. The now retired elder Wurzelbacher is also a major contributor to Republican causes giving well over $10,000 in the last few years."

Professor Obama and Co. doing business as usual.

>> If/When McCain wins, will we see the ‘America is racist’ cry from the media like we heard the ‘Bush stole the election’ crap?

They already cry that. Election or no election.

The Left is so scary! I would have McCain go out there and say, “they want to take more money from Joe and now since they see him as a threat to the Obama campaign they want to take away his job and destroy him. Do you really want 4 years of this?”
