These Rasmussen polls are all good news for Obama.
He's closing in on McCain in Ohio, is tied in Virginia (when he was down their last poll) and within striking distance of McCain in Florida. I also do not believe he will lose Pennsylvania and still expect Colorado.

Good polls, even if they don't show Obama up. Especially since we're still seeing the lingering effects of the Republican Convention.

2. And biased pollsters, trying to prop up McLame and make us think
it's close. That way, if they manage to flip enough votes to "win" the election, it'll look plausible. :scared:

3. I'm looking at it this way...
Despite McCain's shiny new object--and all of this unprecedented enthusiasm--he isn't making major
inroads against Obama.

Sarah Palin will energize the base. That should not worry us.

Ultimately Indies and Dems will not vote for McCain because of Palin. They'll return home as
her extremist and anti-female policies and ideas are known. They're just starting to become
well known.

Who cares if the Fundie, nutjob base is all riled up? It won't make a difference.

12. You know this could playing into our hands..because
getting those fundies up and going is based on a bed of lies, which our side is just not going to roll over and take anymore. Not let it slip by. Even the media is hauled back ready to swing. We have a deep base, to build on.. I think it looks good for us

5. add the hundreds of thousands of new Democrats
and Democrats with spotty voting records, so they don't get polled, and you have an Obama landslide.

I'm ashamed to admit it, but I haven't voted since 2000 and have never voted in a primary before. Registered, but didn't vote.

I'm in North Carolina, and I haven't been polled. Obama has woken me up. Did early voting in the primary and convincing family and friends to vote for Obama on Nov. 4.

7. Seriously! And don't forget to keep telling people...
That McCain wants to put your Social Security into the stock market! Look at what Reaganomics and the Bush administration's deregulation has brought you... and McCain is promising more of the same... McCain and Palin keep saying over and over again that they want to "get government out of the way" which is DEREGULATION! No rules for the crooks with their hands in your paycheck and 401k and your mortgage!

America CANNOT survive the FOUR MORE YEARS that McCain/Palin promises!

9. And it only takes one of the three non-Penn. states to swing the election.
Remember, Iowa is polling strongly for Obama, though that wasn't one of today's releases. It's better to be ahead, but it's good to be close in September, too.
