Obama polling over 50% now!

It is clear that McCain is struggling, the economy hasn't helped him. And unless some major SNAFU by Obama, it looks like he will win the election. Some time back a credible pollster said that the magic number for polls to show a accurate lead was 50%, with Rasmussen/Fox poll today he polled at 52% so he has reached the threshold.

This is not something I like to hear, but it looks like we may have a Democrat in the White House next year.

The good news, the early church grew, thrived and prospered under radical, unstable Roman Dictatorships. Nero being chief.

I have been praying for him today-

The latest add by Obama has me worried, it is really playing down the Bill Ayers connection.

Obama is now all about the economy--and anything that detracts from that is called a smear campaign.

Honey,
Don't worry about MSM. They weren't able to help Kerry with all his hyped up junk.

Seriously, I would be so surprised that this country would vote in a party that already holds the House and Senate. It's never been done.

McCain has a 51% to 44% advantage on national security and the war on terrorism.

I still maintain the election is about National Security.

And a black man has never run as President or woman as VP - - lots of things different this time around.

Perhaps, but many want the war to stop and everyone is concerned over the economy.
