I’m sorry to sound like a defeatist, but I feel like right now that the election is lost. Barring an absolutely colossal blunder by Obama in the debates, there is just no way that McCain can overcome the massive out of control media in this race.
We can see how the media stepped up their attacks and distortions after the convention bounce. Imagine how bad it will be if McCain performs better in the debates.
I wish I felt differently.
Remind me not to jump into your foxhole. LOL
All this gloom over Gallup?
ARG Polls Show Danger Signs For Obama - Democrats Defecting
ARG is out with a bevy of national and state polls in the past few days which are interesting, to say the least. In the national numbers (note: scroll down to Sep 16th item) McCain is up 48-45, a 9 point shift since the end of August. But the internals are really interesting for Obama: McCain has gained 14 points with Democrats and Obama has lost 13 points! No wonder team Obama is worried.
This is important - the poll shows a large defection from Team Obama, and nearly all of them are going to McCain instead of stopping in the ‘undecided’ column. McCain is now getting nearly 20% of Dems! And the numbers are too large to be a sampling error problem. The size can be argued, but not the movement. And it looks to be women doing the moving:
Let’s Roll kids, come on, who realy relys on this polls, half the tme they are fixed or wrong.
Get your minds and hearts into our country and fight, fight, fight.
We CANNOT lose to this idiot.
I didn’t see you posting a definite McCain win when he was ahead. Today is not election day and you are doom and gloom. As to catowner this seems to be a pattern of posting any poll that has McCain behind and yet it has been explained in other posts that polls are not the be-all. The Dems have great influence over many polls. Do you know what questions were really asked and how or the true number of Dems, Republicans or Independents? This is hardly over!
For crying out loud - MAN UP!

The media was exactly the same in 2004 and look who won. Don’t overestimate their influence on so many voting Americans.
