McCain Shredding Obama's Lead

McCain Shredding Obama's Lead

Friday, October 31, 2008 8:04 AM

Iraq isn't the only place where the surge seems to be working. John McCain's gains over the last five days are remaking the political landscape as Election Day approaches.

The double-digit leads Barack Obama held last week have evaporated
, as all three of the top tracking polls (the most current and reliable measurements out there) show McCain hot on Obama's heels.

Zogby had Obama ahead by 12 points last week now it's down to 4. His margin in the Rasmussen poll has dropped from 8 points to 3 in the last few days. Gallup shows only a 2-point difference.

I think he needs to scale back on his big victory party!

Re: McCain Shredding Obama's Lead

It would be nice if McCain could pull this off, but then again, that might be a bad thing... since blood would run in the streets!
Article: Erica Jong Tells Italians Obama Loss 'Will Spark the Second American Civil War. Blood Will Run in the Streets'

"The record shows that voting machines in America are rigged."

"My friends Ken Follett and Susan Cheever are extremely worried. Naomi Wolf calls me every day. Yesterday, Jane Fonda sent me an email to tell me that she cried all night and can't cure her ailing back for all the stress that has reduces her to a bundle of nerves."

"My back is also suffering from spasms, so much so that I had to see an acupuncturist and get prescriptions for Valium."

"After having stolen the last two elections, the Republican Mafia…"

"If Obama loses it will spark the second American Civil War. Blood will run in the streets, believe me. And it's not a coincidence that President Bush recalled soldiers from Iraq for Dick Cheney to lead against American citizens in the streets."

The paranoia of the left is almost amusing.

It is amuzing since their story is paranoia only comes from the right.

I believe they would be happy if something did take place.

Very sad indeed.

I'm sure the folks at Newsmax are hoping they're right and with the accuracy of polling, it still's an outside possibility it'll be that close. That said, Gallup has Obama widening his lead today in all three of their polls after seeing some tightening early in the week. http://www.gallup.com/Home.aspx Also the RCP averages(which have been very accurate in the past) in the key battleground states like PA, VA, and CO that McCain HAS to win are all way out of the margin of error for Obama. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epo...lls/index.html

It's not certain yet, but I expect to the polling will show a bump of at least two or three points for Obama after the infomercial the other night. Thirty minutes of unchallenged air time on major networks is a very hard thing for McCain to defend.

John McCain lost this election by losing Virginia, Colorado and Pennsylvania. Ferd has a saying that applies here, "It's church", IMO. McCain simply lost too much ground in September after the economic mess and with the pick of Palin.

Re: McCain Shredding Obama's Lead

May it be according to the WILL of God, in Jesus Name!

We cannot improve on His Will. I would not want to pray
AGAINST His Will for sure. So, my thoughts are, "Not my
will but Thine be done, O, LORD".
I am not afraid of His Will.
He knows what's best in every situation. I trust His Will!
