If McCain is losing ground in TX (state motto: At least we're not Mississippi or Alabama, yay!), maybe he'd better crank up some of his famous robo calls; maybe point out that Obama is Black, or hangs around with terrorists, no wait, he's already doing that. Maybe he could run some TV ads, no, he has no money to do that!

What's really funny is that (if) he is losing ground in TX where AFAIK Obama has almost no campaign operation. I know of at least 6 of my former neighbors who took leave from their jobs, or in two cases they're retired, to go volunteer in other states for Obama!

Do you have a "I've got neighbors" story for every situation? Seems like every post has to be backed up by the fact that your friends did this or your neighbor did that.

By the way, where is this EPIC announcement that was suppose to come out a few days ago?? Let me guess, you're waiting for the neighbor to fill you in?

Rasmussen Reports™: The most comprehensive public opinion coverage ever provided for a presidential election. (http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/election_20082/2008_presidential_election/daily_presidential_tracking_poll - broken link)

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows Barack Obama attracting 50% of the vote while John McCain earns 45%. These figures reflect a remarkably stable race in which Obama has enjoyed a four-to-eight point advantage for twenty-three straight days. McCain has not been up by even a single point in over a month

I'm to the point I don't believe any poll from any side in favor or against any canidate. The media and polling are no longer trust worthy regardless of who they are rooting for.

Both actually, I can't believe people are so stupid, but also that they would give up their values so easily.
