Do some people believe if they say something enough times it will become true? I mean, I'd love to believe I'm 39 and just won the lottery, but when I wake up in the morning, it just ain't so.

Just so nobody here says I am using a "liberally biased" site, here's the latest Fox report showing Obama moving ahead significantly in the battleground states:

To much dirty baggage coming out on Obama not to see it shift.

New motions have been filed in the Berg case and he has added more defendants such as several democrats, commissioners of several groups including chairmen of the rules committee that overseas Presidential elections etc etc etc.

With the Birth Cert order going to be signed and Jerome Corsi in Kenya investigating Obamas life and ties we could see things change real quick.
that's what you say last week after the VP debate, but it actually move up for Obama.
Come to think of it, you said few weeks ago McBush will be so far ahead Obama would be packing by now. 9-12-08

Obama might as well pack it in and let a real American run for this job!!

If McCain can win a dem state like Washington, what does that tell you?



Guess now even those in denial know who really won the VP debate huh?

So you went to RealClearPolitics and picked the poll where Obama had his smallest lead.

Sad.

Or maybe they go to the CBS website and did not know about RCP.
