For what it''''s worth, Gallup did do a poll for USA Today that does have McCain leading, but the criteria and numbers were missing. Their combined polls shows Obama with a 9 point lead.

In a Presidental election, national polls are almost meaningless. What matters is electoral votes, so polls that show who''s leading in each state are more meaningful. Take a look at this site which shows states where McCain has the lead and states where Obama has the lead, and about a dozen toss-up states currently to close to call.

You can then choose who you think will win the toss-up states by clicking on them, and see how that effects the electoral college vote. (it takes 270 to win).

As a Hillary Democrat, you can only imagine what I think of this ticket. I voted for Hillary here in Virginia, and this ticket, or any ticket, is not acceptable.

How many times have we seen this pety attitude from Hillary''s faithful.

She blew it big time, so they''re all still pouting.

Sheesh.

I hope this Kaine didnt go to the same church as Obama I would hate to see two anti americans running this country.

Going to need another big sell job on this one!

Too bad the best of the bunch on the Republican side said no to a VP spot. Bobby Jindal is what McCain needs, especially if Obama picks Kaine. Jindal would blow Kaine away when they stood side by side citing accomplishments as respective Governors.

If the Republicans want to send a message of change, Jindal would certainly do it.

On the Dem side, they are all part of the same bunch. So we will see what Obama will do. It has been said he would only pick Hillary if he really believed he needed her to win, and Obama doesn,t think he really needs anyone, that he is already President. And he may be right for members of the media are already referring to him as "president.

I copied and posted that poll earlier on this site. Polls can show anything if the criteria is controlled...and of course, they can be wrong too!

I''d love to hear the logic behind your decision! Do you intend to vote for McCain, some 3rd party candidate or stay home? While I can understand that Obama was not your 1st choice, Hillary Clinton has since endorsed him enthusiastically, his positions on the issues are very similar to hers. Do you really want 4 more years of Bush policies, with the damage it has done to this country''s economy and reputation among our allies?

Obama''s recent trip abroad has shown Europe is hungry for new leadership from Amercia. Do you think they will get that with a President McCain?
