I guess the old nasty politics still work very well
Obama down 10% in Gallup since the the last hit job known as a "debate". Hillary's pulling out all the stops on nastiness, meanness, slimy underhanded Rovian tactics. She continues to lie every time her lips move. The latest huge lie? Claiming Move-On was opposed to the Afghanistan operation. She's also been caught red-handed in the worst sort of hypocricy in her contradictory statements regarding Move-On in general.

And it is working. Very well.

I am so disgusted with the average American falling for this crap again. And again. And again.

I hate to say this, but maybe Obama better realize he's in a knife fight, and he better pull out what he has and strike back.

1. He knows what's up.
He mentioned Hillary twisting the knife. he laughed about it. And hit her hard on her character. Something everyone can understand.

2. So, because a Gallop poll says something, you draw a large conclusion from that?
Seems to me that's probably the biggest problem on this board, as well as in politics in general.

3. Well, I hope Gallup is wrong, but...
We've been touting Gallup for several weeks now when they showed Obama was leading. Can we now say they are unreliable? I don't know... maybe they are.

4. Gallop and various other polls have been all over the board
and they're riddled with poor methodology and/or conflicts of interest. Nothing a person ought to base a reasoned opinion on.

Newsweek has Obama up by 20 in a poll taken after the debate!
