MSNBC: "Is Barack Obama failing to seal the deal with American voters?"
You have GOT to be kidding me. It's JULY!!!

And isn't it funny that until now all of the polls showing Obama beating McCain were meaningless, outliers, etc. But ONE poll showing McCain ahead not only is meaningful but is also justification for claiming that Obama is in some kind of trouble.

Amazing.

1. ha, that was the most annoying primary meme. Guess it's back.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS GUY? WHY CAN'T HE CLOSE THE DEAL?! (sorry, trying to imitate the Buchanan screech).

3. Where IS Obama's response team? I'm anxious to hear them

4. Polls are made to get the opinions you want.
One poll every week digs into their samples, distort the size and pulls out of their a**es a result to show Obama is behind. It's the easiest type of propaganda to make and distribute. It's done regularly in third world nations, and apparently here in the US too.

5. The "sealing the deal" thing is ridiculous.... the deal CANNOT even BE sealed until Nov 4th.
Sheesh.

7. Obama can lose this election very easily.
If he does not begin to add substance to this campaign he will be painted as an empty suit pretty boy and no amouont of charisma and speeches will carry him through.

Lethargy and the feeling of inevitability is what did Hillary Clinton in and it can easily strike Obama.

9. Hmm, the man's never lacked for substance
yet that's the exact same accusation leveled at him by Hillary boosters all the way through the primaries.

It didn't work then and it won't work now.

10. And they refuse to point it out the other way. McSame is very well
known and if he were such a strong candidate, he should be pulling much larger numbers. Why don't they hold him to this same standard? (yes, it's a rhetorical question.)
