Although neither political party places very much faith in poll numbers, the neocon Fascist National Socilaist Nazi Republican National Committee are EXTREMELY concerned that recent polls show Obama with a 5 to 9 point lead which is growing by the hour.

They are so concerned that they have given up on John McBush McCain getting "rough and tough" with Obama and on any vagely sensible babblings by Sarah "Troopergate" Palin. Instead, they have taken it on themselves to give THEIR VERSION of the truth about Obama to the masses without the endorsement of McBush or any Nazi Republican running for public office.

This means that we are now getting DOUBLE the dose of TRUTH ACCORDING TO THE NAZI NEOCONS that we used to before, the thinking being that the more trash is out there, the more us stupid people will believe it.

As Karl Rove and the Great Emperor Bush II has discovered, there are advantages to being DUMB and to keeping the average citizen even DUMBER, which explains why the kids in India and China are SMARTER than we are!

SIG HEIL, I STILL SIGN MY NAME WITH CRAYONS, BUSH!!!
sig heil, WHY CAN''T THEY UNDERSTAND?, McBush!!!
sig heil, I DO A TERRIFIC IMPROV OF TINA FEY!!!, Palin!!!

I have been a Democrat my whole life. I am a diehard Hillary supporter and after what I witnessed during the Primaries I said to myself there is know way in hell that I would vote for someone who was not elected but selected by the Media and DNC. I know that millions of Hillary supporters will do the same. Our country and freedom will be destroyed by this man.
Please everyone get out there and talk to your friends, neighbors and everyone and help save our great nation.

If you are such a diehard Hillary supporter, why aren''t you doing as she asked and supporting the Democratic ticket? She stated that to support Obama is to support the things she cares about. That should be enough for any ''diehard'' Hillary supporter.

Yea right, Hillary doing this so B.O. would pay off her debt.

This is an act of desparation you can''t win on issues so you use or try to use charater assianation.

I really don''t think it will help you in this election and now as the tide is turning you don''t want to lose so you will do what ever you think will help.

Of course it could backfire and be worst for you.

The ultimate poll is the one on November 4. I don''t think the polls being taken now tell us anything. I don''t lie when I take one but a number of people have admitted to me that they do.

CBSCensorU: So nice to see you today spewing the same things you''re always spewing. Shouldn''t you be getting your script ready for today''s broadcast, Rush?

There is something wrong with this analysis. Only one poll since the middle of July has given Obama any lead in Missouri, and that was only one point. How then does it remain Solid Obama in all scenarios?

Those 11 EVs should be counted for McCain in all of the above, meaning the +1 point lead gives a range of 256-273, and means a win is unlikely.

Franklin Raines has had no actual position with the Obama campaign!

Go to www.snopes.com and see.

How about arguing on the issues instead of false character assassination. Oh, that''s right can''t do that the record is too bad!

The polls don''t mean squat. People lie and there are many voters who have nothing but cell phones. Both candidates should just campaign hard and let the people decide.

Polls are great! They give us hope, and help us understand where the public is in it''s thinking. Our upcoming election is a dangerous one, do to the fact that an uneducated Hocky Mom could rise to within a heart beat from the presidencey. She can''t answer the simplist of questions, and when she trys it''s like listening to a babbling idiot. I''m hopful more today than yesterday because I see McCain falling behind. Good americans are coming to their sences, finally understanding McCain/Palin for what they really represent. Palin should not, can not, be let near our White House! God help us if the numbers change!

Ya know... I have been running around the interweb tonight. I''''ve been reading stories about the election. I''''ve been reading about the candidates. Etc. etc.
I''''ve come to the conclusion that McCain truly isn''''t very bright.
He has made NO good decisions in his campaign. He will lose by default. The more stupid guy loses.
sigh... whatever.

It''s not over yet. McCain has a military mind, thinking, and battle plan. B.O. has threw everything at McCain/Palin and B.O. is only up 4 pts on a slanted poll. We still have a month.

If you read the article, it is a CBS POLL. i.e. Another Liberal slanting, biased opinion piece. Nothing more.

I wish it would sink in...the polls are fine, but defining Red/Blue states a month from the election is harmful. It''s bad enough to live on in the western time zones and have to listen to who has "won" the east coast...several hours before our polls close. But to see something that mimic real facts or results is not doing any good to help the effort to re-enfranchise voters.
