Polls don't really mean much yet, but Moosey's gotta be wondering about this.

Glow Fading?

The latest NEWSWEEK Poll shows Barack Obama leading John McCain by only 3 points. What a difference a few weeks can make.

Guess what? it was accurate right to the very end. But this must be somewhat more worrying to Republicans:

poll where most of the respondents were Republicans....I will try to find and attach a link where i saw it...

I always liked state by state polls better anyway (like the one below) more than a generic overall poll...

Anyone who thinks that Obambi is going to win GA is smoking strong stuff dude.

Outside of City of Atlanta, it is about as conservative you can get. Large AA population in City of Atlanta, Dekalb and Clayton County. Not enough to offset South Ga, N.E GA and N.W GA (Gingrich Country). Hillary won all of it and Huckabee was the Republican winner.

I really don't who these Nitwit pollsters are polling. Guess, they extrapolating numbers from City of Atlanta and Dekalb County. Even in Dekalb and Clayton, there is huge Asian and Latino population.

News Week is about as much of Liberal rag you can get. Obambi is going to choose Hillary as VP to win and she is going to turn him down because Obambi looses she wins in 2012. Strategic decision on her part, with her on the ticket, Obambi looses, she can't run (would be tough), he looses and she stays out of it, she is in 2012. GET IT!

I am an Independent. I would have voted for Hillary, not for Obambi.

minor differences on issues, they agree on probably 90% on most things...But the differences are PROFOUND between the 2 Democrats & McCain...

If you're worried about 2nd. Amendement rights, I think you know as well as I that Barack Obama will never take away anyone's 2nd. Amendment rights, so that shouldn't be a stumbling block....

But I do agree w/you about Georgia being difficult for Obama, I don't think he'll win there either...

On the other hand, Ohio & Missouri are 2 states that I think Obama can turn blue - along with Colorado, Iowa, New Mexico, & Nevada...

should people vote for anyone simply based on shared views?

BHO is nothing but a sock puppet. An intelligent sock puppet, but none the less a sock puppet. He has a very short resume and is now being exposed for what he really is, a traditional democrat and politician who will say anything in order to get elected.

Even Dem pudits like Bob Beckel are talking about BHO in terms of "The Winter Obama" and "The Summer Obama".

Even Beckel's 14 year old son, a big BHO fan, "gets it".

The Obama balloon is leaking. It will leak faster as it becomes obvious to everyone that he knows next to nothing and would be too arrogant to admit it.

Everyone laughed at the boob Bush, but this guy Obama thinks the "The Strait (sic) of Hormuz" is an oil rich region in Iran, and if we're not careful the Iranians may decide to stop production there.

He thinks he would inform the Joint Chiefs that the mission in Iraq is changed and have them carry it out.

The guy has spent his career focused on a small potato, inner city hustle, AKA, community organizing. Shameful shit.

McBush is the one who doesn't know a fucking thing about the economy, McBush is the one who gets flustered & ready to explode at any question (which is basically any ? asked him) he doesn't know...Great example this past week was when reporter asked him paraphrasing "Why is Viagra covered under medical premiums & birth control isn't?"...Talk about a picture being worth a 1,000 words....

Yeah, to say the least, John McCain would get the vote of NO CONFIDENCE if this was a board room...

McCain is one of the worst presidential candiates in American history - an absolute disaster waiting to happen....

fail to even attempt to defend your guy. Your defense of BHO is ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS. . . Oh yea, well McBush is worse.

I could give a shit about how much of an economist McCain is not. The first sign of a wise man is admitting when he has a lack of knowledge. I have NEVER heard BHO say "I don't know". Should I therefore assume that he knows EVERYTHING?

What counts more today is character and McCain has more of that in his little finger than BHO. . . well you get the idea.

Obama is not a Witch!!

Birth control is covered by health insurance unless the policy specifically excludes it such as a self insured policy that covers the teachers at a catholic school.

In such an instance it is the policy purchaser and not the insurance company that chooses not to cover it.

Drugs for ED are covered by most insurance plans with doctors proof that it is required medically (such as low testosterone levels).

This really is not a political discussion. It is up to the employer which provides the benefit to decide.

McCain has character, what a f-ing joke that is..

In 1998, he made this joke at a fundraiser...Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly?...A: Because her father is Janet Reno.....Chelsea Clinton was 18 at the time..

McCain has character, that's why he left his ill wife for a hottie w/a fortune....

"This is a guy who makes such a big deal about his character. He has no character. He is a fake. If there was any character in that first marriage, it all belonged to Carol."

"But Ross Perot, who paid her medical bills all those years ago, now believes that both Carol McCain and the American people have been taken in by a man who is unusually slick and cruel – even by the standards of modern politics.

‘McCain is the classic opportunist. He’s always reaching for attention and glory,’ he said.

After he came home, Carol walked with a limp. So he threw her over for a poster girl with big money from Arizona. And the rest is history.’

What was that you were saying about character, RWU???????

I never claimed McCain was the Messish (like some have about BHO). I never said he wasn't a typical politician.

Moosey, READ THE WORDS. I said he had VASTLY MORE character than YOUR guy. Based on YOUR character-meter amd my assertion, BHO is a REAL slime bucket.

Moosey, READ THE WORDS.

Now try to address MY words about BHO, just ONCE.

Hillary showed her depth of understanding of issues during the primary. She talked in detail about every single issue and had plausible solutions and showed the guts and will to get it done.

Obama on the other hand hasn't shown any of those qualities and when he does, I will consider. Until then......

Good to be an Independent.
