Suddenly basin VP picks on swing states is making less sense. These polls are changing for the better more and more everyday. Looking good!!

Of course it's still a long ways until November and January 2010, for that matter.

Fantastic! Keep the hits coming Obama's way, Eric!

It's a poll post, so it has to be Eric and by golly it is.

LOL!

I don't care- Obama's gonna win. :)

I do love it very much that the south, which is so vilified by the rest of the country, may end winning this for Obama. That makes me very happy indeed.

Second time is the charm. Wish the inter-tubes had a way to review what you were posting before you did so.... can't believe that hasn't been thought of..... hmmmmmm. I could make millions!

Snark.

Ya think so, doctor?

Welcome to the world the rest of us have been inhabiting. Nice to have you here - finally.

If Obama will get aggressive about Texas - and by that I mean he starts wooing our majority, which is Hispanic, really hard, sends Richardson there and spends some money in Texas, he could walk away with Texas.

He really could - the key in the rural areas is the Hispanic vote. Obama already has the cities and most of their surrounding counties. Where he lost to Clinton was in the Valley and Big Bend and El Paso - those are all areas heavily Hispanic majority and they vote Democratic. He just needs to campaign there and I think he could do it - I don't care what the polls say. This state is a Hispanic majority state.

The only part of the state that I think is a lost cause is deep East Texas, but there is a large AA population there, and they could outvote the legendarily racist East Texas caucasians. And the panhandle is tricky - they aren't terribly tolerant up around Dumas and Claude and Amarillo. But one never knows, really. They are kind of ornery and independent up there, too.

I know the polls heavily favor McLame, but I think Obama could turn the state if he really tried.

Dear American Voters, reporters and political professionals,

Hon. Senator McCain and Obama, besides each having many attributes and characteristics. The critical differences between the two of these presidential presumptive nominees are as under:

1. Presidential "Temperament and Composer".
2. Little Washington "insider Versus outsider" experience.
3. "Vision and mission" for our nation future rather than past.
4. American policies, " first U.S.A Centric" than any other country [ ies ] centric.

In my professional opinion Senator Obama leads in all above qualities.

Senator Obama and his administration along with congress will address all the critical current and future domestic and foreign issues, challenges, and opportunities in coming years.

Let us remember and recite following concepts:

" Family, Friends, Fellows, Faith, Funds, Foundation [s], Fun, with Freedom & Fairness and without Fear, Favor, & Failure" . It applies to every citizen of our Greatgrand Nation.


Please stay involved, stay engaged, and stay informed. Please do not allow any seduction, deception, and or confusion by some partisan media and leaders effect your vote [ Psychological Terrorism ]..

Yours truly,

COL. [retd] A.M.Khajawall

PS: Please talk about the " Presidential Temperament And Caliber " of our presumptive presidential Nominees.

Thanks.

... are a sight to behold. Mos' definitely GREAT NEWS!! FOR MCCAIN!!

Seriously though, I'm starting to worry that McCain will drop out before the convention. He's imploding and that "trollop" video is going more viral than anything since the Macaca video.

We may have to put the old boy on life support for a couple months to make sure he's still around for the knockout punch in November.

Lets hold our horses- Polls in June meaning almost nothing, nothing.

It's over.

Anybody know how to get in touch with the Lasik girl?

Why is the headline "Obama Tied in Virginia"?

sure obama can win states full of blacks and eggheads. but no democrat has ever won the whitehouse without winning the working, hard working, whites of WEST virginia.

I'm just laughing at all these folks who talk of an Obama landslide. First of all, this isn't a 'lead' - this is a statistical tie and that's not really a surprise coming out of Virginia. Secondly, we had a Rasmussen poll out of Ohio just now that showed McCain 'leading' 44%-43%. Sure, he was trailing by a few in Quinn. but it's clearly going to be a close contest. Obama is getting a bit of a breather right now with all his favorable press but the internals don't look that good for Obama in many of these states. McCain has better favorables generally, etc. Also are any of you thinking about the Bradley Effect? Of course not. You guys have been prophesying landslides for years.

...suggest that the map of competitive states really may be much broader than usual this year.

i'm amused by how this sounds as if the thought is only just now occurring to you.
