1. At the same time Rasmussen shows it narrowing

If only we knew which one to believe.

[jenmito]

3. I saw that. I don't know, other than to say Rasmussen is always on Faux, so who knows.

:shrug:

[grantcart]

I believe that Rasmussen consistently under reports Obama by about 3 %

If you look at the state by state polls there really is a lot of consistency except Ras's Obama numbers are always down compared to the others.

[jenmito]

21. Didn't he have Obama up by only 16% in IL?

I thought I saw a thread about that yesterday.

2. So despite all the "criticism"

the Obama campaign is working.

[jenmito]

6. Yup. And this poll doesn't completely take in 3 days of the Gramm remarks.

I bet McCain's numbers will drop further.

[NJmaverick]

4. THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!! He hasn't been listening to DUers

so his campaign has be be tanking

[cliffordu]

9. LOL That's right goddammit!!!

[jenmito]

10. I guess there's life outside the DU!

:shrug:

[dkf]

5. I think Gramm's comments were deadly.

jmo.

[mikiturner]

13. I wonder if they even fully register yet

They just blew up yesterday.

[jenmito]

17. Forget THOSE comments. Many people still think McCain is pro-choice!

And with his "girl" Carly Fiorina going out and spreading lies to women about McCain's position on choice, I hope the Dems. make SURE people get informed about his real stance on that issue and others.

[dkf]

22. Did he ever answer the Viagra vs. Birth Control question?

If so, I sure didn't hear it.

[jenmito]

23. HE didn't, but his camp put out a statement saying he DID indeed vote against the mandating

of birth control coverage by insurance companies. But that didn't get any coverage. Nor did Carly Fiorina's comments that implied McCain is FOR such coverage. They'd rather show McCain as being a "straight shooter who was at a loss for words." :eyes:

[dkf]

24. Damn, how is it the MSM plays McCain's confusion, but not the answer to the question?

Oh well. I guess they are trying to play up the "old" thing.

[jenmito]

25. They LOVE McCain. They didn't even play it as "confusion," but they portrayed it as

"cute embarrassment" IMO. :eyes:

[dkf]

27. I thought he was losing it.

[jenmito]

28. He lost it a long time ago.

[mix]

7. nice

i guess progressive criticism of Obama is not weakening him against McCain...

[grantcart]

8. Just for fun today's Pollster graph on Indiana doubles as a pictograph of

the back legs of the Donkey giving the Republicans a kick in the ass.

[jenmito]

14. Hey-you're right!

How observant and creative of you to notice! :D

[scheming daemons]

11. The Jesse Jackson castration bump

[jenmito]

18. But, but...the media keeps pushing this as a "surrogate problem" for Obama, just like McCain's

problem with GRAMM'S comments.

[LowerManhattanite]

12. Oh, my. This news will no doubt upset many in the ...

...“Feet to the fire”/“Help, I'm being bullied!”/“Don't tase my GD-P grief, bro!”/“They're both the same”/“I'm having trouble holding my spite-slashed nose”/“Lemme get THISCLOSE to the tombstone line without goin' over it.” brigade.

And that's a good thing. :)

[jenmito]

15. I hope you're right.

:D

[cbc5g]

16. Come on 50 come on 50!!!

[JoFerret]

19. It's so hard to imagine

Obama not winning a landslide victory.
But I know that leads have vaporised before and there is never a time for complacency.
But still - McCain is such a weak candidate in so many ways. And Bushco is so bankrupt and the very general perception that GOP policies are not working, the need for change and the belief that the country is on the wrong track.

[jenmito]

20. McCain is being helped big-time by the media. They're ignoring so many negative stories about

him, like when he talked down to the Veteran who questioned his record on Veterans' rights, when he claimed AGAIN to not recall his vote against insurance companies mandating birth control medication for women, etc.

[LowerManhattanite]

26. “McCain is being helped big-time by the media...”

...and by griefers all too willing to let him off the hook so that spite will prove them right.

Right in front of our faces. :(

[jenmito]

29. I have no doubt the Obama camp and DNC will make sure McCain's faults are ALL "pointed out"

just at the right time.

[LowerManhattanite]

30. K&R! Hell yes! n/t

[jenmito]

31. You KNOW Obama's "on it."

I trust that he's going to do JUST that. :hi:
