RCP: Average of Polls shows Cont'd Lead by Obama

[bluedawg12]

I can see where we will get jittery as the big day approaches. There is so much at stake, so many hopes riding on this election, so much hard work has been invested and so many people have poured hard earned dollers to support our candidate.

I am all for hard eyed realism and I have every confidence in Sen. Obama and his campaign team, they are watching 1000 X more intensely than we are and know exactly how to react professionally, where to place new ad buys, how to tailor the message.

So, this is the composite poll (RCP) I have been watching and it is holding steady.

I do have one humble request to make. When someone posts an opinion, article, poll, that you disagree with, rather than us turning on each other, or resorting to ad hominem attacks, point out why you disagree. Post some polls or opinions to support your position. That's all it takes.

Other than that, more hard work, vote and on to victory and an end to listening to these two douche bags in two days - my ears are draining red, white and blue fluid from the noise inflected by raspy repig and his screetchy sidekick--that will not be missed.

Let's stay united, working for the same great cause, and keep our sense of humor for just a few more days!
Oh, yeah, CNN just saying that there has been no trend for tightening, Obama leads by 7+%!

1. Thank you! n/t

[bluedawg12]

4. pnwmom - you are very welcome! Amazing how quick our guys

are to respond to the changing terrain, they are all over the darthcheney endorsement.

[pnwmom]

6. Now I hope they'll run up a new ad for Pennsylvania

on the sunny future for clean coal technology.

[bluedawg12]

9. Can you tell us what they've run so far?

How is the Obama energy and environmental policy perceived in Pa., a big coal mining state?

Thank you.

15. I haven't seen anything about that, and the problem is

that McCain just now started running in PA an attack ad about coal -- which is a big issue in coal mining country. They got hold of a tape recording where Obama is telling people that he won't ban coal mining -- meaning, but not saying, DIRTY coal mining -- he'll just make them pay carbon fees for the environmental pollution they cause, which will bankrupt them and put them out of business.

I hope he puts out a new ad right away explaining that he was talking about DIRTY, polluting coal mining, which just makes global warming worse -- not clean coal technology, which he fully supports.

16. pnwmom- thank you. I see what you mean

man, there are so many issues and fires to put out. This is a good example, take something Obama says and tell 1/2 the story.

Sort of like military cut back, meaning, wasteful spending, which mclame has also pledged, of course today grumpy was all over the 1/2 truth of it.

We are down to the wire, I suspect, they have to pick which rumors to fight.

BTW - I did recall Obama mentioning clean coal in the debates. Maybe they will get something out between now and Tues?

Thanks for the reply.

2. Just listening to Obama stick it to mclame/cheney in Mo.

That's our guy!

His message is already tailored to kick-@ss in response to cheney endorsement of mcrummpy.

Tying mclame-dumbya-cheney really nicely - in rapid response.

Sned the repipgs a shovel so they can dig themsevles a deeper hole.

3. Good news and the Fox News Poll +3 is old

The Fox News Poll will drop off by tomorrow and help increase the margin. Another piece of good news is that Obama is now above 50% in most polls. I am beginning to think this is about a 53-45 election with the rest going to Barr and Nader.

[bluedawg12]

5. Yup, Barr will dilute mclame!

Come next Sunday we will all be discussing President Obama's cabinet picks!

LOL.

It's all about perspective and we just need to be cool for a few more days.

Obama is all over shifting trends - I trust the man.

[VADem11]

7. I think so too

The final national polls have Obama anywhere from 52-54%. 53-45 sounds about right though I would love to see 55-44 if turnout is massive.

[bluedawg12]

8. All we can do is work, vote and wait.

Obama is not asleep at the wheel, that's for darned sure.

here's a tongue that 99.9% of the nation agrees needs to never be seen after tuesday- a forked tongue.

[bluedawg12]

10. Just listening to mchemorrhoid stealing Biden's "stand up line"

I think he will pop a gasket if this fright fest doesn't end soon.

"Stand up..." he keeps repeating over and over and it's Joe Biden's line.

Candy Crowley kissing@ss, playing the "under dog " card tete a tete with danabash. Awww brother..gimme a break.

[ROh70]

11. That Mount Wingnutmore picture is hilarious. And frightening.

Where did you get that?

[bluedawg12]

13. Mt. wingnut is a fright fest

political humor pics all over the inter net.

There is a lot of material to be had from comedians mchemorrhoid and his side kick - screetchy.

Recall, dumbya was a laugh riot too.

[HughMoran]

12. Increase that lead due to ABC/WAPO poll - 6.6% now

Average may have increased if it wasn't for IBD.

[bluedawg12]

14. You betcha! We'll take it!

I hope we can have a good laugh about this election and how utterly bizarro it was, in say... one week? <insert palin wink> :rofl:

[bluedawg12]

17. BTW- Just heard tweety mention CBS poll; Obama +13! n/t
