MAN! We getting stepped on every which way! My hubby just get home from work and told me he just heard the news that Ozero was going to win in a “BLOWOUT”! I had to straighten him up on that one. He was pretty bummed over the SC ruling and the Yahoo screaming headline didn't help either... Sigh, I guess this is what the majority of folk read and see on the tube. GOD HELP US!

White independent voters are suicidal. Politico was founded
by WP reporters and they write with wet panties for Obama.

They will get stiff competition from NY Times, CNN, MSCNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC...

Politico is hoping to become the messiah’s official propaganda machine. The U.S. version of Tass or Pravada, if you will.

If the messiah gets elected, politico will probably become "Pravada the Next Generation".

[skimbell]

Yep! Thank god for the Bradley effect!

And I always thought that the independents were the ones who were a little more intelligent, and looked at things in a deeper way. It turns out maybe that they are looking for a dictator to rule them. That is if there is any truth to this. And truth is hard to find these days.

Is this the same Gallup poll that has 58% Democrats or whatever it is in their sample?

[Names Ash Housewares]

BS

[vetvetdoug]

Politico is staffed full of round mouthed kneepad Democrats.

[kabar]

Whites have always been the GOP’s power base, especially white males. I believe that LBJ was the last Dem to get the majority of the white vote. I just have a hard time believing this.

[FlipWilson]

Hmmm, sure am glad Senator McCain isn’t rolling out Jeremiah Wright again.

[jveritas]

On Elections Day the 12% of undecided white independents will go to McCain in a margin of 90%. Hillary Clinton won the undecided white voters the primaries again and again and again with 90% margin. Those are not really undecided they are simply not going to tell the pollsters that they are not voting for Obama for fear of being branded racists. The final results of white independents will be 53% McCain 47% Obama on Elections Day.

They forgot to mention that they polled the nyslimes reporters cafeteria

[Chet 99]

According to Gallup’s weekly average of some 6,400 registered voters, Obama now holds a 45 percent-43 percent edge over Republican John McCain with white independents. About eight in 10 independents are white.

This smells like BS. I thought McCain led overall among independents in Gallup, but was down only due to a Dem oversample.

[combat_boots]

No he doesn’t.

[TonyM]

Anyone know what percentage of registered republicans actually voted in the last election? If just 80 percent of the people who claim to be a republican would just go vote I think it would be a McCain blow out. I think that any republican who does not take the time to vote this time should hold their head in shame.
