From Undeader:"Unlike McCain, Obama offers nothing to the American people but slogans and rhetoric".
Tell that to the "Afro-americans". They actually believe he is going to lead them to the promised land.

Don't believe the BS polls, the people see this fraud for what he is.

Unlike McCain, Obama offers nothing to the American people but slogans and rhetoric.

He's simply a rookie senator who was finding his place when he suddenly got distracted by the Presidency.

I won't even get into his questionable character, judgment and associations.. The guy has no understanding or plan for this country.

Yes, people are mad at Bush.. They are emotional over Iraq... but they're not so easily manipulated by a shiny smile and off beat cadence.

Watch and learn haters

I agree, and if people are so dumb as to vote for this man then let them learn the hard way if he's elected. You think Bush is a bad President? You haven't seen nothing yet, Nobama will make Bush look like George Washington.

Hillary Clinton DID reveal the truth about Obama. Unfortunatly she took the gloves off a little too late. At that point the other extremists in the Dem. party decided they were going to back Obama...

If McCain would stop trying to be the nice guy and have everyone like him he would do the same.

Alan Abramowitz: Remembering Gallup's Wacky 2000 Tracking Poll

Quote:
Just how volatile where Gallup's results? Here are a few examples:

On August 8 Gallup had Bush 2 points ahead of Gore. Six days later, on August 13 they had Bush 16 points ahead. But one week later, on August 20, they had Gore back ahead by one.

The craziness didn't end with the nominating conventions either. On September 21 Gallup had Bush ahead of Gore by 10 points. Four days later, on September 25, Gore was back in the lead by 3. Then on October 5 Gallup had Bush ahead by 11. The next day, on October 6, his lead was down to one, and one day later, on October 7, Gore was ahead by 7.

Here's my favorite. On October 24 Gallup had Gore ahead of Bush by one point. Three days later, on October 27, they had Bush ahead by 13.

In their final pre-election poll Gallup gave Bush a 2 point lead--not too bad since Gore won the popular vote by less than a point. But two days earlier, Gallup had Bush ahead by 5.

Not really, I would blame both parties. I just have a real hard time thinking Obama is for the U.S. and not for 'THE WORLD". The "ROCK STAR" image is not what I want in my President.

Obama is just the wrong man for the job, his style is more socialist and that's a bit scary!!

The election is over.

Unless another major event occurs in this month Obama would have one. So really you can stop spewing hate show the candidates more respect. He is still a great american that has worked hard to help americans.

I won't attack McCain because at this point it is pointless, with all the polls showing Obama leading 6-8 points gallup poll today showed him 11 points ahead.

McCain is a smart guy but he did some things that killed him like not picking Romney who is an expert on the economy and saying statements such as the fundamentals of the economy are still strong. McCain gave a good fight and he is a good politician.

However, I don't want to hear what i heard today at a Palin speech. calling Obama a terrorist is just plain morally wrong and a flat out lie. Also the shout "KILL HIM!" is extremely out of line and those people aren't welcome in this or any moral society.

Again well done McCain on a fight well fought lets end this election with dignity and respect.

The United States is in serious trouble economically, financially and yes, even militarily. However, that doesn't mean that voters should finish off the job by electiing someone not qualified and experienced enough to lead our country out of this mess.

Obama has a lot of unfinished work on Chicago's South Side which can keep him busy for the next decade or more. I believe if you start a job stay with it to the end and finish it.

My problem with Obama is that his policies are not socialist enough to restore this country to international respect and financial stability.

My problem with McCain is that I think his proposed policies will not help America in any way but only continue to let the domestic and international finance community continue to loot our economy while using our military and money to protect their privilege.

I recommend voting for real progress by helping to elect Barak Obama.

Hello, Obama voted for that also.

Your view on Republics really show how warped your mind is.
