Battleground Poll News

If this holds McCain will win, since if i remember correctly Missouri went blue last time, the ones under Obama were Blue already, other then Ohio which Missouri will wash!

Let’s wait for the real polls when McCain comes out of hiding from the press and also allows Palin to speak to the media on a regular basis.

Va will be interesting to watch since it’s never been in play before. I think Fl will go to McCain and Pa to Obama. The rest are too close to call right now.

spock,
You are forgetting about Ohio. Ohio was foolish enough to go for bush/cheney twice. Hopefully this time Ohio has grown wiser and will not vote for a bush-3 term. Obama/Biden 2008!!!

Spock-
Hate to tell you this, but the Electoral Votes are still leaning toward an Obama victory.

LOL
We didn’t drink the Obamarama Kool-Aid in Florida in the primaries, and we’ll kick his skinny behind in the General election.
NOBAMA!!!

Great news for McCain. We haven’t even had any debates yet.

Mr. Obama…”For whom the bell tolls”…I think it’s you

It doesn’t make sense really. If we aren’t safe who cares about the economy?
—————-
It makes perfect sense. Obama is the BETTER leader to handle international relations.
Americans polled actually said that a potential terrorist threat is not a primary concern. The “perceived” threat has never been as great as the reality. The Republicans used the fear to push their own agenda. (Orange alert, yellow alert, red alert, TOTAL BS) And it basically worked for eight years.
It was on GEORGE BUSH’s watch they we got attacked. It is BUSH’s war that has escalted the hatred toward our country. McCain is 100% the same as George Bush in Inernational politics. His “vision” will not make us safer!
Has the war in Iraq made us safer…ABSOLUTELY NOT! Neither will John McCain.

How many remember Rice sitting at that table and FINALLY admitting the name on the security report Bin laden posied to attack US. I still have the timeline I got from the London Times right up to the attacks showing where our security was in JULY 2001 The FAA and the Coast Guard were put on alert JULY not August folks They took the lives of those thousands of Americans and others in their hands when they ignored those warnings their minds were out to lunch and they had butterfingers.

I will be amazed if Obama wins in Missouri. Most of my friends are Democrats, and most of them are voting for McCain. Missouri is overwhelmingly Catholic, at least in St. Louis County. They vote pro-life. Much of Missouri is made up of small, rural towns with populations less than 15,000 – the same people Obama insulted in San Fran. Missouri never votes for left-wing candidates. It might be close, but McCain will win in Missouri. (Spock, you are wrong. Missouri did not go blue last election. Missouri went for Bush in 2000 and 2004).

As a VA resident, I can tell you the number of Obama signs in heavily populated northern VA (including around the Pentagon in Arlington and in DC proper) outnumber McCain by about 10 to 1.
Seems the people who actually work in our government want a new direction. President Cheney politics has worn thin there.
However, the southern part of the state (next to Tennessee and Kentucky)and by Norfolk (navel bases)is more-or-less ideal McCain territory. Southern VA is the start of the Bible belt voters for sure.
Central VA is a toss up. Charlottesville – heavily Obama. Go over the mountain – McCainville.
VA has traditionally been Red, but the Dems have a chance this election though. There’s a huge number of newly registered voters that will most likely vote for Obama – and they are rarely factored into the polls. College kids and young voters may very well decide the outcome of this election.

Yet ABC doesn’t show the other polls out this week
McCain up 7% in Ohio.
Not that it matters. Just like Obama people put lawn signs out. Who cares?

As an independent I am voting for Obama. We’ve had republicans in the white house for 8 years. This country needs change desperately. McCain was running on experience. Now with Palin he’s running on reform and change. I honestly don’t see any change with him. Not when he voted with Bush 90% of the time. It’s all a smokescreen to get elected. That’s why all the Rove attacks on Obama. McCain doesn’t want to discuss the real issues that face this country because he has no solutions. Palin is too conservative for me and I feel McCain chose her to appease the conservative base. If he was a real maverick he would have chosen Lieberman like he wanted to. It shows he buckles under pressure. Anyway I do hope the dems take over this election. To me that would be the real change.

you need one of those technicolor maps like RCP and Yahoo

Northern Va will definitely go dem. That’s pretty much a given.

I agree Carrie, I know several African Americans who are voting for McCain and they are totally silent about it except to close friends. I have tried to tell them NO Obama for me, yet they continue to try to convert me. It is really scary.

amy it doesn’t matter who voted for the bridge. The fact is Palin is trying to make everyone believe that she stood up to everyone and was always against it. It’s in every speech she delivers……thanks but no thanks. She is purposely misleading us.

Bradley effect will hurt Obama.

Plus Obama goes on about 97% African American vote when they are only %13 of the population and live in traditionally red states. This where is head got big during the primaries. He did not think about their votes being canceled out in the general due to the electoral college.
Like Texas, forget about it.

From a landslide, to “we have good odds to win”, to ” this going to be competitive”, and now dems are close to a melting down.
Obama is showing true color. His recent behavior is really condescending. I watched him on Letterman show — he was just so annoying when he said Palin is lipstick.

Oh please amy, I could care less about
your internet finds. You asked a question and I gave you an answer. We can’t afford any more republicans in the white house. 8 years is enough.

“The fact is Palin is trying to make everyone believe that she stood up to everyone and was always against it.
And Barry never stood up for the country that he supposedly loves, after Wright’s hateful sermon after 9/11.

“I wouldn’t go by polls, by yard signs, or anything like that.”

Republicans failed to protect us on 9/11.
Republicans can’t catch Osama Bin Laden.
Republicans think 9/11 is a political footballs to be tossed around.
Republicans are shameless and soulless.

Mack we know all about Obama but we’re just learning about Palin.

The Republicans have destroyed our economy. I will never vote for them again. Case closed.

“McCain’s staff wouldn’t respond to requests for comment about specific incidents.”
Why should he? Go sell the story to US Weakly.

Debra
You just said you hate clinton on the other page now your her campion ???
Phoney!
Like your claims phoney!

for those that think or HOPE they’ll going to be a bradley effect, may have another thing coming. it’s gotten to the point that there’s so much OTHER excuses that people can use to claim they won’t vote for obama openly without looking like they’re a racist….however, there could be that REVERSE bradley effect for those voting for mccain because of palin just because they don’t want to appear “sexist”

“Obama says he´ll meet the leaders of Cuba and Iran without preconditions. If North Korea and Iran continue their nuclear program, what will Mr. America community organizer do?”
He sympathizes with them and would like to apologize for all Americans.

“”Why not release his Columbia transcript? Why has his senior essay gone missing? … Voters and the media are now exercising due diligence before Election Day, and they are meeting resistance from Mr. Obama in checking his past.”
Maybe some of the 50 lawyers and investigators they have up in Alaska should have been working on this? Nah, just take his word for it.

Obama’s lost years were in question in the FOX bio on him, in the early 80′s when there were no records of where he was living. Sometimes in the street is what I gathered. His druggie friends from those days declined to be interviewed, but they had one of them on film by his bike in a helmet smoking and staring at the camera. The two guys from Pakistan had their faces blurred. Strange days for Obama, some of those college years…no one to speak on behalf of his character, ever? I know these are his drug buddies, but did he not have one friend or teacher from these early 80′s?
I can’t vote for a guy who only has his half sister he lived in Indonesia with for a few years, and his wife, to speak to his character.

Deb….I NEVER said I hate Hillary. I voted for her and donated to her and the minute she dropped out I DONATED McCAIN. I CAN’T STAND OBAMA AS PRESIDENT.

McCain’s military record:
- crashed five U.S. military planes
- served 20 hours in combat
- spoke with enemies (McCain named PW Songbird)
- asked Vietnamese to seal his records

Deb then watch the g d CNN bio that is so empty, my husband and I couldn’t believe it. Obama couldn’t even fill an hour and a half on his pathetic life story/accomplishments. All we saw was his half sister, Michelle and a couple of old black ladies that he community organized with. It was a sad bio. I can’t remember which Bio addressed his screwing Alice Palmer out of an election….why she won’t give an interview is questionable….white granny too. Why does no one talk about this candidate? Wright tried to and he was banished and gagged. His book will come out after the election…too bad he’ll make less $$$ off it.
Too many mysteries with B. Hussein…I don’t want the Rootless Cosmopolitan and Citizen of the World for my Prez.

Just checking in. Your doing very well Mr. Tapper. Please slap Charlie upside the head for me. After excellent reporting last night by both of you, he had to ruin it by adding, Aw, they all do it. Despicable, it was.

Obama is already responsible
for forcing the hand of Bush
to sign on to a timetable for
the withdrawal of our combat
troops from Iraq. And Bush
is doing exactly that.
The next Dem goal. End oil imports
from the Middle East in ten
years. Can you think of anything
more phenomenal than that?
Obama as POTUS will make that happen.

Debra Rove Predicts the future and if Palin becomes the first female VP Hillarys hope of ever being President is lost!
The Democratic party will fight it self and blame each other.
Hillary nor Chelsea will ever play a magor part in the party.
A vote for mccain is a vote against Hillary!
If you cant see that…..
Once barack Obama gets in office Hillary is going to be credited with providing healthcare to America and will run in 2012 or 2016 on the record of delivering that!
If the dems lose this its over!

If he wins in Ohio and Penn, those people sure have a fogiving heart! I myself doubt whether he will win those two States, even with Biden.

If Obama wins, he’ll run again in 2012. That means 2016 for Hillary to run. And Obama supporters have already determined that 72 is too old to run, so I’m sure Hillary will be too old at 68.
What else ya got?

marylou
A vote for mccain is a vote against Hillary!
thinking anything else is stupid!

If McCain keeps saying that Palin has experience because Alaska is next to Russia, his numbers will drop on National Security. It is a absurd assumption and makes me wonder; what is wrong with him?

Hillary is fit to be POTUS. McCain is fit to be POTUS. Obama isn’t.
It’s just a bonus that a win for McCain now means Hillary can run in 2012.
Country first!

I miss Tim Russert.

Eight years ago, complaints about *charging rape victims for medical exams* prompted the Alaska Legislature to pass a bill — signed into law by Knowles — that banned the practice statewide.
“There was one town in Alaska that was charging victims for this, and that was Wasilla,” Knowles said.
Palin was the mayor of that town…

RCP has a bunch of newer polls out than the ones Jake posted. McCain has pulled ahead in the money market too.

He said that again?
***********************************
Yes go to Politico see Ben Smith there is video from a local station interview with McCain, just done. Had a very difficult time explaining Palin’s experience.

“”Signatures were challenged and she did not meet the requirements set forth by election law. 3 other candidates also failed to meet this basic requirement.”

“RCP has a bunch of newer polls out than the ones Jake posted. McCain has pulled ahead in the money market too”
Just like on CNN he cherry picks polls too.

Just saw McCain getting questioned by Maine reporter.
McCain doesn’t like follow up questions.

The body language with Bill Clinton and Bozo today at their lunch is so obvious…Bill says he’ll campaign for BO, but his heart isn’t in it or Hillary. What a shame they have to trot out for this empty suit…it’s such a farce.
We’ve heard Hillary say Obama is not Prez material and we’ve heard Biden say he’d run with John McCain and Biden saying Obama should have picked Hillary as VP….where is this commercial with a constant loop over in their own voices stating the obvious?

“Obama, then under the guidance of the Ayers family and Axelrod, brought in a bunch of lawyers to knock off ALL the candidates from the “black” community.”
Wow what a bald faced lie.
Alice Palmer decided to run for her old seat after she lost a special election. Her signatures were challenged, she did not meet the requirements set forth by election law.
“Previously, Obama had lost 2-to-1 to Bobby Rush.”
“Obama has never won a contested election. ”
Another lie. What a shock.
Alan Keyes ring any bells?
The Democratic primary perhaps?

If Palin has foreign experience based on the proximity of Alaska and Russia, then rest assured Obama also has foreign experience based on his father’s origin. Actually, Obama’s experience is more eclectic in relation to Kenya, Indonesia and his self-admitted Muslim faith.

I got a call from my local Republican offices (I gave them my number to volunteer)….and can’t wait to go in and help. Meghan McCain is coming Monday for a book signing and I’ll be there and Gov. Palin is coming to Orange County near the end of Sept….I’ll drive as far as I have to.
I’ll keep doing everything in my power to get McCain elected….the only Presidential material I see in this race.

REMEMBER, BUSH AND CHANEY. A DECOY AND THE MAN WITH A PLAN. CHANEY
AND HIS PEERS PLAN WORKED, WITH DISASTEROUS RESULTS TO THIS COUNTRY.
WITH JOHN MCCAIN , IT WILL BE MORE OF THE SAME. WITH, SARAH PALIN AS
THE DECOY.
IT’S THE SAME GAME, PEOPLE. IT DIDN’T DISCRIMINATE, THERE WAS NO
RACISM, NO SEXISM, WE ALL PAID A HEALTHY PRICE AND WILL CONTINUE TO
DO SO FOR YEARS TO COME, REGARDLESS OF WHO IS IN THE OFFICE.
CHANGING WILL BE COSTLY EVEN,IF WE START NOW.
WITH FOUR MORE YEARS OF THE SAME POLICIES, IMPLEMENTED BEHIND THE
DISGUISE OF A “COUNTRY FIRST SLOGAN, AND UNKNOWN DECOY, AND POLITICAL
PUPPET, WHILE OUR COUNTRY IS STILL REELING FROM THE FIRST RAPE OF OUR
RESOURCES AND PEOPLE, WE WRING OUR HANDS AND SIGH, AS WE WATCH THE
FUTURE OF GENERATIONS TO COME, DIE.

Keith not sure where you get your electoral vote info from but the electoral map as of today shows
Obama 273
McCain 238
27 ties

As a observer from a far off land (Canada)I can say that the fact that you people voted for GWB (twice) was kinda pathetic – I mean really that boy wasn’t bright. Now I am relived to say you will be voting for a candidate who was powerless to take on the coruption of the Illinos political system, voted “present” for most of the time there, attended a racist church or 20+ years, bought his first house with the help of Tony Rezko, was friends with William Ayres, his mentor was Rev. Wright, most questions are above his pay grade, makes TV interviewers feel tingles up their legs, took 3 interviews to get the Russia/Georgia conflict correct, he will very well sit down with supporters of 9/11 to find some middle ground, supporters (1 million on his speed dial)are college students (same ones who welcomed leader of Iran to come hear and spit in your face)- Obama is apparently the only likeable lawyer in the WORLD….and anyone who votes for him is vote to go from the frying pan into the fire.
Good luck America

“WITH JOHN MCCAIN , IT WILL BE MORE OF THE SAME.”
No it won’t. McCain came very close to becoming Kerry’s running mate, which means that he is closer to the center. Most Americans are closer to the center. No matter what the liberal media says.

Yes McGoo will be more of the same when he voted with Bush 90% of the time. Who is he trying to fool.

A Republican on FOX just said “I think Hillary had it right when she said he isn’t ready for prime time, and with Palin getting into his head getting him rattled, just proves that”
Well said….Gov. Palin IS NOT WHO HE IS RUNNING AGAINST….HIS EGO CAN’T STAND THE FOCUS BEING OFF HIM. I WANT A MAN WHO PUTS COUNTRY BEFORE HIS EGO!!!

The bot use the old “he voted with him 90% of the time” like it means anything…give specifics. Bozo voted 85% of the time with Bush on matters in Iraq….GET OVER YOURSELVES….McCAIN IS NOT BUSH II! They have never liked each other and do not think the same. McCain IS GOING TO PUT DEMS IN HIS CABINET…HE REACHES ACROSS ISLES AND WANTS THE BEST AND THE BRIGHTEST, NON PARATISAN!!!!! Wealthy ones only taking a $1 a year. He doesn’t care who gets credit for pushing through new policies..

WoW. This is the greatest news I heard in a while. People forget that it’s the state polls that matter not the popular vote polls.
This great news for the Obama camp. With Ohio in the mix Obama leads 293 to McCains 245.
Lets not forget Virginia and Nevada. The Obama camp registered 42,000 people in Virginia last month and there are polls out this past week showing Obama leading by 5 in Nevada (red state).
I see a landslide.

How come you have Georgie so much? Woken up to the fact that he ran this country to the ground?! You might want to also consider that McCain will run this country down even more.

Jake, you have to do a simple post on the tax advantages of the Obama plan for middle class Americans (i.e., those who earn less than $600,000 a year).

Obama’s tax plan will increase taxes significantly for those earning more than $600,000 a year, by 5 – 8%, even though they will pay less to the govt than they did under Ronald Reagan.
For those earning less than $250,000, your taxes go down.
Anyone in between, you pay only $12 more in taxes.

“More of the Same”
McCain, supported Bush politics, 95% of the time. What make you think he has changed? He chose Sarah Palin as the possible, President of the U.S.A., was the thought behind this, Country First.
After the brain-washing she will be allowed to speak…then we will know, or will we?
However, it wouldn’t surprise me, if she resigns once the election is over, if they win… What a ploy…Values and honesty and Country First, are not high in this party politics.
I forgot, Values and
Righteousness and Country First, is high priorities. But, why would he choose Sarah Palin?
Who would replace Sarah Palin, if she resigns or is booted off the ticket….I blushed, I thought it might be Chaney. Insuring that we have “MORE OF THE SAME”.

Taxing the rich who do the investing in Wall St. and run their own businesses will allow for businesses to shut down, employees let go, no more investing in our economy and so it goes. The Victacrats who want hand outs and won’t get off their own as-es and work..would love a socialized America. Not me.
McCain/Palin.

The bot use the old “he voted with him 90% of the time” like it means anything…give specifics.
======================
LOL Debra, these are McGoo’s own words. Is that specific enough for you. Just call him McSame…………same as Bush.

“LOL Debra, these are McGoo’s own words. Is that specific enough for you.”
Apparently McCain was lying.

The dem always talk about how inclusive they are to people When a successful woman come into the picture and that thinks different and look normal Look at how they ATTACK You all say it the republican who attack I’m sorry but take a look at what your writing Look at what Obama and attack dog Biden said about McCain I think both party is pretty good at it I’m a register Dem but left when Reagan did because the party has been taken over by the Hollywood elite and people like movon.org
By the way who ran the ads attacking McCain about how many houses he has Are some of you jealous that your not successful Maybe if you didn’t set around waiting on Gov hand outs you would be
As for as the economy goes as always it has it cycles Like the last 6 month of Clinton years the country went into recession Do any of you remember that

Wayne
Democrats controlled the Congress.

A watchdog group has called McCain a hero to taxpayers with an 88% approval rating.
Obama has been called hostile to taxpayers with an 19% approval rating.
Wake up taxpayers.
Obama will kill small business and the jobs with them.

Democrats, please answer:
- Do you really think that the withdrawal of our troops from Irak will make us safer? they will be sent to Afghanistan. Obama wants to increase our soldiers there.
- Do you really think that rising taxes and government spending will help taxpayers and improve the economy? less money for people to live with.
Sounds funny that when socialism has failed in Europe, we want to import it to America. Have a look at Europe and see its disastrous results.

Shy Sarah is coming out of her
seclusion to do an interview later
today on ABC World News.
She has been underwhelming us
enough already. Why underwhelm
us some more?

anon: Because Obama doesn’t have the intelligence. He’s lucky he graduated college.

BKMC: God help us if Obama is elected. What a mess this country will be in with Farrakhan, Wright, Ayers, Father P and Rezko (out of jail) will be coming to dinner at the white house making crooked plans. After all, these are Obama’s chosen friends. Plus his entire family from Kenya. Will it still be the white house?

I WAS HAPPY TO SEE VOTERS ARE NOT FALLING FOR ALL THE REPUBLICAN LIES. SAD AS I AM REPUBLICAN TOO. JUST AM EMBARRASSED TO SAY I AM REPUBLICAN.
VOTERS KEEP TO THE ISSUES. CHECK WHAT REPUBLICANS ARE SAYING. I HAVE FOUND THEM LYING ALOT.
FOUND SARAH PALIN IS NOT WHO SHE SAYS SHE IS EITHER. FOUND SHE LIES TOO. FOUND SHE DIDN’T CLEAN UP POLITICAL CORRUPTION ALASKA. FBI STARTED WAY BEFORE IN 2004. FIRST LEGISLATOR OFFICE RAIDED BY FBI AUG, 2006. SARAH PALIN VOTED IN AS GOVERNOR NOV, 2006. SHE DID NOT START INVESTIGATION. SHE AND HER ALASKA GOVERNMENT DID NOT DO ANY OF FBI INVESTIGATION. SARAH PALIN JUST SOLD TO ALASKA PEOPLE SHE WAS CHANGE. FBI IS WHO CHANGED ALASKA POLITICS. SINCE 2004 ALL OF ALASKA GOVERNMENT WALKING GOOD LINE. SARAH RODE WAVE OF GOOD AS FBI DID ALL THE WORK. SARAH DID NOT TAKE ON GOOD OLE BOYS.
GO GOOGLE ALASKA POLITICAL CORRUPTION – GO TO WIKIPEDIA. READ THE FACTS FOR YOURSELF
FACT – FBI CLAIMS – 11 REPUBLICANS INDICTED – NO DEMOCRATS
THEN I LOOK AT PALIN LEGISLATIVE INVESTIGATION AGAINST HER RIGHT NOW. INFORMATION I HAVE DOES NOT LOOK GOOD. APPEARS A REAL COVER- UP ATTEMPT IS PROCEEDING AHEAD!!
PLEASE EVERYONE DO CHECK SARAH PALIN OUT. SHE IS PRETTY, SHE GIVES GREAT SPEECHES, SHE IS WOMAN – BUT PLEASE REALLY THINK WHAT IS IMPORTANT.IS SHE WHO SHE CLAIMS TO BE. I FIND SHE IS NOT!
OUR COUNTRY IS IN A DISASTER. I CAN’T TAKE ANOTHER FOUR MORE YEARS OF THE SAME. THIS LATEST MOVE BY MCCAIN PALIN TO SWITCH FROM EXPERIENCE TO “CHANGE” IS BOGUS.

McCain & Palin:
Two irrelevant candidates of
no consequence. On the fringe -
not what we need now.
McCain marginalized himself into
a nonentity when the recent
troop withdrawal timetable
was accepted by President Bush.

Which conspiracy theory/x files web sites is Sharon referring to?
