This is Excellent news!!! For HILLARY!!!!!

It confuses me why so many polling organizations show Obama continuing to do well and make gains nation-wide, but Quinnipiac had those numbers showing Obama losing steam.

The media bashing is quite stunning at the moment, they are short to say that Obama is losing because of the latest polls in Wisconsin, Colorado, Minnessota...

Herbert is even saying that McBushSame has had a good week.

They are now saying that Obama's speech in Berlin was poor. Ryan Latta went further by saying nothing will be remember from the speech in the years to come...

They forgot of course to mention the latest latino polls...

It's good news for some of us to calm our nerves, after the recent Quinniac Poll showing Obama loosing some ground in some swing states.

But I ain't worried.

Frankly, it seems Obama is doing all the right things and McCain is displaying a total lack of purpose. The contrast is out there for every one to see.

Even then if the Great American Electorate elects McCain, it just means we as a nation are required to suffer more before we deserve any better. That's that.

One thing I hope Obama camp become more active in quelling those stupid McCain attack ads.

Bottom Line: Obama is running a solid campaign and I ain't gonna measure his candidacy by these volatile and unreliable polls.

I really like Richard Wolffe today. His comments are always well articulated.

Obama is damn if he does and damn if he doesn't. It is impossible for John McCain to have one nice word come out of his mouth. I guessed as much since he was known as a bully in high school and called his wife and trollop and that other word......

He is the most negative person - how the press can even stand to interview him is beyond me. I cannot watch any answer of his for more than five seconds, snooze.

Are these polled people even watching any news, even MSM, McCain is his own worse enemy. Every interview just reaffirms what a boring S.O.B. he is.

Thanks, Archie Bunker. I knew the media were wrong about you back in April, just as I know they are wrong about everything else now.

Damn

I'm an Ed Rendell fan... A BIG fan

Guess O doesn't need him now

Didn't you guys get the memo?

this poll doesn't count.

Only polls showing a closer race or Obama behind count.

Funny comment of the day, from linked story:

"All we need is is to build the engine that runs on McSame's abundant supply of gaffeline, and there you go! We could meet our fuel energy needs for the next 100 years!"

Completely off-topic though not nearly blogworthy and I'm sure many, if not all know this, but Jimmy Smits character on "The West Wing" Matt Santos was inspired by and modeled after Barack Obama.

Attie told the Guardian newspaper that he modeled his fictional congressman on Obama in the summer of 2004, after being wowed by Obama’s keynote address at the Democratic National Convention.

“I drew inspiration from him in drawing this character,” said Attie, who worked as a speechwriter for Al Gore, Bill Clinton and Dick Gephardt before moving to Hollywood. “He had done a great speech at the convention (which nominated John Kerry) and people were beginning to talk about him.”

Like any good political operative, Attie picked up the phone and called Obama aide David Axelrod for the back story.

“I said, ‘Tell me about this guy Barack Obama.’”

Latino actor Jimmy Smits had already been cast for the show, so Attie was particularly interested in how Obama addressed the issue of race. He said Axelrod’s answers helped him conceive Santos’s approach to his own Hispanic identity.

They also spurred him to make his character, you guessed it, a former community organizer. Santos is married, with two young children. And though his political rivals hammer away at his inexperience, he manages to prevail through inspiring speeches, a message of change, grassroots organizing – and several, extraordinarily lucky breaks.

Attie tells the Guardian that Axelrod, now chief strategist for the Obama campaign, joked in a recent email: “We’re living your scripts!”

Someone earlier in the thread questioned democratic resistance to drilling offshore. I have to say I agree.

Now, I'm thinking out loud here, but what would happen if Obama went to the right of McCain and proposed overturning the ban on drilling in ANWAR?
