In case you've missed the recent polls ...

Only when the popular vote victory is extremely narrow.........does it become likely that the popular vote winner could conceivably lose the electoral college

Running.. I hear you and I understand 100%.

Keep in mind though, that the realclearpolitics.com poll is highly regarded because is is a "poll of polls". Because all polls are prone to error, RCP averages all the major polls (including Gallup) to give a more accurate view.

Gallup's 6% margin is irrelevant right now. The RCP average still has Obama up by only 2% at this time, which is not a big deal 7 weeks away from the elections, and before the debates even begin.

You have your comparison messed up.

A more appropriate comparison might be fans at a major sporting event.

Is this new barb a result of the drive by-forum media? Or did you come to this one on your own, Mizzy???

Are we talking about the same Quaddafi that is no longer on our terrorist rolls and has been befriended warmly by the Bush Administration as evidenced by Rice's visited with him about a week ago ...



Or is the same Mad Dog of the Middle East ( affectionately nicknamed by Reagan) that considers Alexander the Great and Father Abraham a Muslim and brother?

I am more and more convinced many are now unable to think for themselves but are robotic victims of Talk Radio.

This is hilarious. McCain laid out a six-point principle plan for a better economic policy and the Obama camp is saying he stole it from them - after - Obama said he didn't want to lay out his plan until he saw how things shaked out on Wall Street.

You mean you find it funny that a candidate would factor new and perhaps life-altering developments in the financial markets before laying out any strategic changes to his existing economic platform that may need to be implemented/changed in a fluid and highly volatile present-day market? ... WHILE CRITICIZING A CANDIDATE WHO HASN'T HAD AN ORIGINAL IDEA since the Hoover administration?

That's pretty not funny. Sounds responsible and adaptive to me.

Or the other alternative is a candidate in McCain who would like to distance himself so much from the existing Republican President ... that he is willing to keep a laissez-faire .. turn the other way ... approach when everyone and their mother knows some gov't intervention and help is needed in this present crisis that has spun out of control ... while blasting the Republican President who is acting on it ....

I understand this is difficult for a candidate that owns 7 homes and whose wife can wear outfits in the hundreds of thousands of dollars .... but


IT'S THE ECONOMY, STUPID. NOT YOUR CAMPAIGN.

I didn't mention his history of terrrorism or his denouncement of it in recent years. I watched a video on this site, I think, where Qaddafi defended Obama's "elections lies" and called him, brother.

You take things to an extreme, Dan. If you want to compare McCain election supporters to middle east fanatics (MUSLIM FUNDAMENTALISTS) then don't forget Obama had his own true Muslim fanatics.

Being real, Dan. That's all.


FYI, I don't listen to talk radio.

In case you missed it in your glossy-eyed, conga-line euphoric state for a candidate that most are not voting for ... but rather are voting against his opponent and/or for his vice-presidential candidate ...

I compared such a supporter's euphoria to that of the euphoria of a fundamentalist group... not people to people.

Just as real, Mizzy. Don't be so extremely reactionary. *wink*

Never mind Ka-Daffy.
I understand Hamas is rooting for Obama.

That sure warms my heart (not).

I wonder if Hezbollah, Hugo Chavez, and Kim Jong Il will will throw their support behind Obama too?

[dansamy]

Dan, you seem like such a sensible fellow. Obama...really?!? The man has next to nothing for experience and wants to disarm our nation. Now, I can understand, and maybe even support, repealing tax cuts for the wealthy. But all these new government entitlements are gonna cost money. And liberty. And that comes from us hard-working, honest Americans.

[RevDWW]

DA,

Can you please give me three good logical reasons someone should vote for Obama?

Can you show me any significant legislation he as authored?

Can you show me where Obama and his wife made their millions from?

Explain why Mrs. Obama can be wealthy and still have not been proud of America until hubby was in the Presidential race?

Explain why anyone would want a man who seems to be keen of the redistribution of wealth by taxation and government programs, that is wealth that is not his?
