Rasmussen ^ | 9/27/2008 | Rasmussen

[uscabjd]

I don’t recall Bush ever being down 6 in Ras to Kerry in Oct ‘04. Am I wrong?

[Jackson Brown]

“So what”

MANY of the reply assumed that it was after the debate, like others polls.

Just trying to claify for those who care.

I agree with your point, the MSM has kept Obama from being found out for what he is — however — if you had read the thread more carefullty you’d see that was NOT the point...so please keep your “So whats” to yourself.

[yongin]

Under that scenerio, the Dem brand name could go south very quickly if gas prices creep past $5 and if bad economy news continues.

[PigRigger]

Our country was strong enough to survive Carter.....I fear we may not be strong enough to survive Obama....I hope the company I work for can survive Obama....

Never had a plan B with regard to my finances....never thought it would come to that point....now it's almost time for plan B.....

It's just insane...this man has done absolutely nothing up until this point in his life.....and he is going to be President?

I don’t think the debate was lost. I think it was largely irrelevant - other issues dominate the news (and rightly so), and they do not play to McCain’s advantage.

If Palin can use the right talking points in her debate, she’ll do fine. Don’t know if this will generate any uptick.

Yes, McCain still has a chance, after all he is trading at 42 on intrade. But the main variable is the economy, not debates or attack ads.

REPEAT REPEAT REPEAT

Why is the fact not being made loudly and clearly that the RATS are responsible for Fannie and Freddie? The Rats are responsible and they were the ones who benefited - handing out loans to their voting blocs while some were making insane bonuses. So are they now going to be rewarded for destroying our economy while enriching themselves? If so, we need another country - this one is beyond hope.

[ubaldus]

>> Under that scenerio, the Dem brand name could go south very quickly if gas prices creep past $5 and if bad economy news continues.

For a while, they will be able to pin all bad news on “disastrous 8 years of Bush”. MSM will definitely aid them. That will not work for 8 years, but may work for 2 or 4.

[GiveEmDubya]

If conservatives accept the inevitability of a Zero victory, then the libs have already won. I won’t accept any such outcome until election night if we should be so unfortunate. It’s not even October yet, so the people that are panicking should do something to help out (if they aren’t already)...if not for the old guy, then for Sarah. I admit it doesn’t look pretty, but that’s no excuse to give up. The Zero must go down.

When you own this site you can tell me about what I should or shouldn’t post

[Jackson Brown]

You were talking to me, not the site.

so, bite me.

[fortheDeclaration]

I suppose I can go ahead and vote for Barr now to send a message to idiots in Washington that I’m tired of choosing between lesser evils.

Oh, yea that is the message they got when Clinton was elected twice.

[fortheDeclaration]

The only poll that matters is election day.

Exactly.

What was the age breakdown of this latest poll?

The older, more likely voter are going to vote for McCain, including 20% of the Hillary voters.

[fortheDeclaration]

Kerry was running against an incumbent President.

[fortheDeclaration]

All these polls tell me is McCain is behind and its been that way ever since the economic crisis started.

Is that why Obama has been retreating from Red States and having his own States become competitive?

Obama is struggling to hold his own base

Stop panicking at every poll!

[fortheDeclaration]

The die was cast when the GOP allowed this loser at the top of the ticket. He’s too old, too DC, and too Liberal.

He will win-be here on Nov.5th.

[fortheDeclaration]

We haven’t lost until we lose.

We aren't going to lose.

[fortheDeclaration]

[In aggregate, Gore had only 3 pt lead, and that was a convention bump. Never any leads in October.]

Yes, and it looks the same with Obama vs McCain,

With 93 days to go until the 2008 election, Obama holds a 3.3 point advantage over McCain,

Interesting that you left that little fact out.

[fortheDeclaration]

Barr is honorable. He was my congressman. The Governor of Georgia eliminated his district (Barnes), and the Bush Republicans totally put the screws to him. Barr believes the government is abusing the constitution with certain provisions in the the war on terror bill and other stuff as well. Sometimes, I think Barr is correct. Who was it that said if you choose security over freedom, you will have neither?

Yea, that is why Barr went to work for the anti-freedom ACLU.

And then brought a lawsuit to get the Republican/Democrat nominee names off the presidential ballot over some technical rule.

[fortheDeclaration]

Amen. I can't wait to see all of these doom and gloomers on the threads after Nov.4th when McCain is the new President elect.

Sunshine Patriots.
