Gallup: Race tied at 44% each

1. We're DOOMED!!!!!

[FreakinDJ]

2. So how is that "High Road" working for ya all now

I say let the disinformation and mud slinging begin

[JackORoses]

5. don't worry about us, pal

Obama will still be the next President.

And he will not sully himself with Republican pigshit while he's at it.

You're free to root around in it all you want, though.

[cliffordu]

15. You run with that hate-based theory of politicking,

with the POW stuff and now this...

What's the beef??

[FreakinDJ]

22. I'm sick and tired of watching Repub sleazy tactics work so well

Just sick of it

Perhaps if the rest of the Dem party could get out there and give Obama some support it might help but this is playing out too much like the 04 election cycle for my comfort level

[cliffordu]

24. We'll see. I don't think rooting in the sewers is going to help =

I think outsmarting them is the way to go, but that might require actual consensus among Dem talking heads. Grab the talking point and don't let go.

Which is the only REAL weakness here.

The repubs can stay on a talking point like a rotweiller on a mailman. The Dems? not so much.

THAT'S how they won TWICE. Well, they got close enough to steal twice.

SO:

1. Grab talking point.

2. Dominate talking point with catchy phrase.

3. Shout down the opposition.

4. Profit!!

[FreakinDJ]

27. That and they are unified in their approach

Call it what you will but they sang the same tune all the time

Hell we can't even get enough Dems together to block a filibuster

Forgive if you will for seeming disillusioned by the Dem leadership, but as the equity from my home dissolved into a Federal Bail-out for felonious Corporate CEOs running our lending institutions, Fuel cost out weighing meals for my children, living under the constant threat of Bankruptcy / Servitude from rising Healthcare cost, I feel the average American has a lot at stake here.

The mood of a majority of working Americans is “If the Dem party can’t get it together enough to get the job done we’ll find some one who will”

[SuperTrouper]

26. On Monday McCain will be ahead by 2 points

and Obama's negative image will begin to crystallize. it is Gore/Kerry all over again. I am so very angry because Obama is being introduced and defined to America by McCain over the last week and now comes the new McCain attack ad about Divine Obama. When are we going to learn? :mad: :mad:

[Baclava]

33. nah - last time I checked, voters vote in Nov.

I ain't askeered

[JackORoses]

3. Gallup had to adjust their Daily to match the Monthly that had McCain ahead

they know who butters their bread...

[FreakinDJ]

9. "Whisteling in the Dark" again are we?

Nice bit about the "Nothing to Worry About here folks" too

Until the Dem party and Obama learn to come out swinging against the GOP disinformation machine there will be "No Brass Ring" for the Dems

[Teaser]

10. Thanks. How are the campaigns you're running doing?

.

[FreakinDJ]

12. Great - they are not proped up with false promises

and excuse after excuse after excuse

[JackORoses]

14. or correct spelling, obviously

'Whistel' while you troll...

[cliffordu]

16. LOL - Exactly. This is the one that keeps the McCain pow crap alive....

Hate Hate Hate Hate Hate


Like a heartbeat

[FreakinDJ]

19. Yes - 'Whistel' while you lead us down the road to a McCain presidency

I'm fucking sick and tired of leadership telling us there is nothing to worry about all the while doing nothing to mitigate the ill effects of the Republican rumor mill

Get it the fight

20. Been here longer then you have pal

just not as stupid

[JackORoses]

21. but you call us 'you Dems'?

I dispute your claim of intelligence.

McCain's been around for millenia and he's still a stupid bastard.
Just cause you have been around doesn't mean you've been doing anything good.

[FreakinDJ]

23. Disinformation is never good

McCain is receiving a bounce from his negative campaign ads and corporate ruled media.

You want to do some good tell everyone to call the representatives and ask them put a stop to the disinformation and propaganda being spewed towards the American public under the guise of "News"

[Major Hogwash]

4. Only 95 days left to make the difference.

It's going to be tough with the media running interference for McAsshat.

[TwilightGardener]

6. Well, of course. After a week of whining in front of the Sausage Haus, and the supermarket

applesauce attack, after a week of offering nothing but "drill" and scurrilous attacks on Obama, of course people prefer McCrazy. Who wouldn't? :puke:

[Ron Green]

7. The M$M will say it's a trend, but it's not a trend. It's a shake-out.

The racists are making their decisions, the fearful ones are being heard in greater numbers, the dumbasses are coming out of the woodwork. It's just the time of the season, and we've got 3 months for the best-run campaign in my lifetime (my first vote was for Humphrey) to run its course.

Relax, do not worry, and have a good weekend!

[Teaser]

8. I can't wait for all you doomers to mistake noise for trend yet again

DU doomers are the saddest sack of clowns I have ever met.

[Thrill]

11. Going Negative always works. Better wake up

[JackORoses]

18. only in the short term, like right before an election

McCain has started this too early.

Deceptions like this only work if people don't have any time to think about them.

You see polls being affected now because the initial uninformed reaction of people may be negative, but if they have time to actually discover the truth, then guess who they blame for deceiving them?

McCain is building a Campaign of Lies that will not hold together for 90 days.
It cannot sustain itself because it is an illusion.

[Bleacher Creature]

25. Not always. There's a reason why it is usually done carefully.

The swift boat attacks were done by proxy for a reason. Rove knew they could backfire. Also, if you look at the most notable negative attacks done directly by a campaign (e.g., Willie Horton, Saxby Chambliss, Bob Corker, and Jesse Helms' "white hands" ad), they are usually done MUCH later.

McCain chose to go negative directly, and he chose to do it in July. This is typical of his extremely undisciplined campaign, and it's going to hurt him.

[davidwparker]

17. BS.

[Dinger]

28. Wes Clark Is The Answer To That (nt)

[mvd]

29. I'm not worried yet

McCain still never has been over 44%. We CAN NOT let him surge ahead in August like what happened to Kerry, though. Much more of a trend and name the VP pick plus get very tough.

[Barack_America]

30. So what?

McCain has played his hand early, going so negative so quickly. If Obama can keep his cool and stay disciplined, this is going to put the McCain campaign in a difficult spot. How much more negative can they go before it backfires big-time?

[jobycom]

31. Excellent news!!

It means the idiots on the right will be even more shocked when we kick their asses in November. "But we were so CLOSE!!!!" :rofl:

[ladjf]

32. This is troubling. I fear that regardless of what tactics Obama decides

to use, the media will be able to distort his message to suit their purposes. The media is employed by a crime syndicate.
