- Wondering why the polls always seem to defy the facts?
David W Moore spent 13 years as a top editor and executive at the Gallup Organization, one of the most respected names in US polling. His time there led him to this conclusion: pollsters do not just capture public opinion, at times they actually create it.

- I grew up in the sixties and what I see is a nation fraught with boomer kids who think that they are entitled to everything and that everything should be given away to especially those who only want their government to think for them and who refuse to do anything for themselves. These are the whiners and complainers who were born wearing rose colored glasses and who have given away democracy to socialism. I was going to vote the Dem ticket but after the guttural vitriol being spewed by the Dems against McCain and now Palin, I will gladly vote this ticket. I''m disgusted with the Dems have done with the campaign, but especially with their stupidity and inaction in Washington, DC. The Dems are supporting an inexperienced unqualified candidate all in the name of promoting diversity and affirmative action.

- I am heartsick. I began college in 1969. I truly felt that my generation believed in peace and brotherhood. I truly believed that we were going to create an equal and honorable society. Look what we have done. We gave the world George Bush; we lie to go to war; we have created an elitist and corrupt society; we are in incredible debt. This is the world that we have created to leave to our children and grandchildren.
Some of the women whom I stood beside in the women%u2019s movement are allowing their own strong-willed nature to become more important that the general good they have struggled for. They are letting the symbol of our movement (Hillary Clinton) become more important that the causes she stands for. For God sakes, will Americans really vote for McCain and Palin? Will they really vote to continue the path we have been following during the last eight years??? Boomers, wake up and remember your souls. - Reply to this comment

I see and understand. People should be aware of these poll numbers that show McSame ahead or tied with Obama. (I am not saying it is for sure that McSame will lose as anything is possible considering GW is sitting in the Whitehouse now when it should not have been close). But I can''t find many people voting for McSame and I have yet to see any bumper stickers but I have talked to many people who are voting for Obama and lots of bumperstickers for him and Biden. I don''t think it is as close as the media is saying. Obama will win this election. - Reply to this comment

- I do not believie that Obama will lose this election (but history has proven one cannot be too sure) as GW Bush was elected and that should not have happened. I personally think a McCain/Palin win will reflect terribly on our population. John McSame is a liar that will say or do anything to win. I will not even address Palin only to say she demonstrated that she is not ready for the national stage. This should not be a close election, the only reason that it is even close (according to the polls) is that people are too unwilling or unable to see what is so transparent to most of us: McSame is not the answer. Vote Obama/Biden!!

- Well, go ahead and elect the geezer and the empty suit, and see what changes! If you believe it will happen, I have several bridges in Brooklyn to sell you!

- What change? More lies? Oh wait, that''s not really change...
"Very interesting article .. one of the few we see today that doesn''''t look like it was written by the DNC.
The Dems will have to adapt, if they can.
Funny thing is, McCain is probably the one who WILL bring change if elected.
We''''ll have to wait and see. " - Reply to this comment

- Another independent here, voting for Obama/Biden. MCain lost my vote long ago when he continued to vote in lockstep with G.W. Bush.

- Yes, I agree it is all over and once again America and Americans have coned into leadership that makes the rest of the world laugh. From Super Power Nation to a Joke in 8 years or less. We can now get used to 4 or 5th place among nations after China, India, Russia and Europe. Well done fat cats!

- Interesting article, makes a lot us sense.
It''s quite refreshing to read an article that doesn''t look like it was written by the DNC or RNC!
No doubt the Dems will have to change strategies and it will be interesting to see if they can successfully.
The real funny thing is that McCain probaly represents more change than the other three. - Reply to this comment

- Once the Palin bubble burst and people come out of the clouds, people will return to the issues and Obama will recover. Did you notice one of America''s largest investment banks is about to fail, with more to come? Please tell me again, why anyone is voting for the republicans and the same failed policy. Independent for Obama/Biden 2008!!

I, like many other Indies, used to support McCain and would''ve campaigned for him back in 2000. But I wouldn''t now. He doesn''t support the same ideas, that he did back then.
Btw, I ~do~ know of a few Republicans crossing over for Obama. But I don''t know of any Dems sliding across for McCain. - Reply to this comment
- EARNit78,
Calling the "Tuskegee Experiments" a progressive movement is a rather spurious notion. Exactly what criteria are you using to label this as "progressive".
Was the leader of the experiment ( for 4 decades, mind you ) always a progressive? The board? The administration of the US?
None of those groups were always lead by one party or one individual.
Or is it more a matter of simply regurgitating something that someone had once told you - or that you invented yourself? - Reply to this comment
- The fact is that Obama cannot possibly return to the "Washington Outsider" status, unless he dumps Joe Biden, the consumate Washington insider.
And the catch 22 for Obama is - if Obama does dump Biden, then it means that he will have flubbed the most important decision he has ever made. - Reply to this comment
- antiscenei, are you aware that progressives were responsible for the "Tuskegee experiments?"
I suppose you don''t think that Darwinian Eugenics and the whole \bermensch mentality that was heralded in tandem with the American Prgogressive enthusiasm of Italian Fascism dumbfounds you and renders your finger pointing weak and useless. In fact, it should break your finger right off!
Don''t you dare retro-assault the conservatives of today with out first considering the "Liberal/Progressive" hypocrisy that has indeed permanently stained any such belief that liberals/progressives hold the higher moral ground, because they don''t. The record is full of unforgettable instances of racism, propaganda and, not to mention, their outright own version of fascism. :) Have a nice day. - Reply to this comment
