Whoa, this JUST IN. Obama leading in every single State by 300%, says Keith Olberman on MSNBC and the N.Y. Times! It's a MIRACLE!

Not.

Shame on Gallup for publishing a “registered voters” poll just 28 days from an election.

A respectable outfit would’ve switched to LIKELY VOTERS weeks ago.

But then “likely voters” polls favor Republicans by at least 5%!

IMO, McCain made a big mistake in voting for the Bush-Pelosi-Reid giveaway and not having an alternative of his own.

Showing leadership on this issue by pushing hard for a better plan could have saved his plan. It also would have been a very concrete example of him being a “maverick” and fighting for improvement... and not just “change”.

Instead he went along with Bush, Pelosi and Reid. He didn’t even shine the light of truth on all the crud added to that bill.

Combine that with his withdrawal from Michigan and he may have guaranteed an Obama victory.

New polls today out of Virginia have Barry up by 10. We have our work cut out for us.

For real? I just don't see it. I don't know a single soul who likes this guy. Everyone I know (democrats even) thinks he is creepy.

Cedric,
It is what it is. There are a number of daily tracking polls on RCP and I post all of them. If the poll showed McCain up, you wouldn’t be bitching about me posting it. Go back and look at the posts when Gallup showed McCain up; “Gallup is the gold standard”, “Gallup has it right”, etc.

My suggestion to you is to simply ignore the thread if you don’t want to read it.

About Soviet strategy for subversion.

Same tactics we see Zero and his followers doing.

I have watched that video and it was about what I expected. There have been unheeded warnings for a long time. Much of it was spelled out by Ayn Rand fifty years ago. One thing she specifically warned about (as others have also) is the corruption of language. I swear we have “journalists” now who throw words together as if making a salad.

Please folks have faith...GO INTO YOUR CLOSETS and spend some time with Jesus, PRAY and FAST. Lets move the heart of GOD and than HE will give us the VICTORY! Stop whinning and FIX YOUR EYES ONLY on the CREATOR of everything!! On Oct. 11 from 9:00am to 1:00pm has been declared a day of FASTING AND PRAYER...join me! God delivered King Asa, but Asa along with his people humbled themselves before God. After that God granted them the Victory over the ten thousands that were ready to destroy them. This should be our cry as well! For the God we serve is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow!!

2 Chronicles 14:11

11Asa cried to the Lord his God, O Lord, there is none besides You to help, and it makes no difference to You whether the one You help is mighty or powerless. Help us, O Lord our God! For we rely on You, and we go against this multitude in Your name. O Lord, You are our God; let no man prevail against You!

I live in a subdivison with at least 200 homes. I have seen at least 1/4 of the homes with McCain signs and NONE for the Obama. I know thats not a very sctentific survey but I think it’s better than Gallop’s.

And they are going to continue getting worse until McCain can put forth a clear economic agenda and the appropriate punches to counter Obama. The good news is that McCain will have three straight days of preparation for tomorrow’s debate. That is where he needs to strike and hard.

Ref: Bob Dole campaign. ............. Dole didn’t have Palin.

And Dole never launched the kind of attack (Ayers/Wright) that McCain (through Palin) has!

tatown,

Were you religiously posting the Gallup poll when it showed McCain leading?

Yep. The Willie Horton ad knocked out Dukakis early.

I thought Gallup would have Obama up 12 today, and this is a RV poll.

Gore was down like this in Early OCT 2000 and came back.

I don’t believe that. It’s the other way around.

It’s Obama’s election to lose. We have a president with historically low ratings and a once in a century financial crisis a month before the election. That does not bode well for McCain.
