Obama gets most of the headlines and almost all of them are positive for him.

Posted by commonsence1 at 09:53 AM : Aug 11, 2008

As of July 27th, 2008:

Pos/Neg press for Obama - 28%/72%

Pos/Neg press for McCain - 43%/57%

Just sayin.

Hmm. Reverend Wright and John Edwards versus the endless war(s), the collapse of the US economy, and $4 gas? Wow. The Democrats are totally screwed!

A tactical move... it will take the McCain staff weeks to figure out how to get this info.

Scientists say invisibility cloak possible!
Hummmmmmmmmmmm, I know the Dimwitocrats may want to see how well this will work on making Edwards and the Reverend Wright disappear till after November. LOL.

The polls put the two candidates in a dead heat. Who do the polls poll, anyway? The polls are conducted by calling peoples'' HOME PHONE numbers. Who has a home phone anymore? The pollsters'' calls come through to anyone with caller ID as "political call". Who is going to answer that? The pollsters call these no-caller-ID-home-phone-using citizens at dinner time when I''m not home, and neither are my friends.

So who''s getting polled? McCain''s base. His wrinkly, tech-averse, home in time to watch Wheel of Fortune base. And half of them like Obama? Ouch.

Makes no difference---Obama has no chance of winning.

In classes on Personnel Relations, Motivation, any number of human relations subjects, is is emphasized that providing a sense of "belonging"or "ownership" can be a good thing to keep people motivated and working well. This idea is a very good one.

The McSame campaign can''t compete with Obama so they resort to Junior High tactics of criticizing everythink he does - what kind of beverage he drinks, what kind of lettuce he eats, how much he weighs blah blah blah. McCain even criticizes what shcool Obama attended, complained that he is too smart, and that he is too fit! Give me break! Just like in Jr. High what motivates this kind of attack is jealousy and fear of the competition. I can''t wait until the debates Obama will show up old man McSame for the senile old geeqer he is.

I hate to be the one to inform you but 18 year olds get to vote too. The idea that you have to have grey hair, wrinkles, bifocals, and arthritis to be interested in the Presidential campaign is just what is wrong with the McSame campaign. I for one think notifying supporters by e-mail and text is a great idea - god knows he doesn''t owe the first scoop to the main stream news media - the same ones that ran 24/7 coverage of Reverend Wright or his so-called bitter comments!! No wonder Obama thinks the news media are bottom-feeders - so skip them and go right to the supporters. Of course McCain would think this is too new age because he can''t even get on the Internet.

I''ll wait the extra thirty seconds for it to show up on Google or Fox news. Of course if I registered it would have to cost Obama something. Even if its just a few cents for the extra bandwidth. Maybe everyone should sign up.
