- stainedworld, on 09/16/2008, -11/+117Please God let America be America again. George W. Bush will go down as the worst President ever, unless John McCain gets elected/and Barbie. I do not want a President i can share a beer with, i want a President that i can look up to again.
- aussiejan, on 09/17/2008, -6/+68Sounds good. Vote for Obama and I'll have a beer with you.
- KingMe32, on 09/16/2008, -12/+66Give it up buddy. For the good of the country, focus needs to be placed on Healthcare, Education and diminishing the gap between the wealthy and the middle class. On those three issues alone Obama is head and shoulders above McCain. Not even close.
- ProfessorSYM, on 09/17/2008, -4/+56Yeah, we have been so scared ever since McCain picked the person who:
1. Is being investigated for abusing the power of her office.
2. Was all for earmarks before she was against them.
3. Was for the Bridge to Nowhere before she was against it.
4. Kept the money for the Bridge to Nowhere and spent it anyway.
5. Still supports a $600 million road to Wasilla.
6. Cites the proximity of Russia to Alaska as foreign policy experience.
7. Cites a brief refueling stop in Ireland as foreign policy experience.
8. Cites a personal vacation to Mexico as foreign policy experience.
9. As mayor of small town Wasilla, asked the librarian about banning books.
10. Installed a tanning bed in the governor's mansion.
11. Does not understand the foreign policy nuances of her own party.
12. Does not understand that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were not owned by the government before the takeover.
13. (Insert deficiency/incompetent action/gaffe here)
And on and on and on and on...yeah, we are shaking in our boots. - peace1970, on 09/16/2008, -8/+59Great!! I knew the so called bounce would be bouncing on out of here...and the war injury BULL about McCain not typing is CRAP....I know several disabled people who use a computer that have NO USE of their hands...nice try....LOL
mccain/palin=unstable/unable - sincerelysarah, on 09/17/2008, -6/+50This is still going to be a close race ...
- DeeDee001, on 09/16/2008, -9/+45Well, you've proved that back in the 1960s (when Barack was still a child), Ayers and Dhorn were leftists. And you've proved that Barack has been in the same room as they were on occasion. So what?
As for John Fund .... he knowingly tells lies. He has no journalistic integrity whatsoever.
Lying and smearing Kerry (also known as swiftboating) worked in 2004. The American people have wised up since then. Swiftboating Obama won't work in 2008.
Stick to the issues ... Healthcare reform, the economic mess that Bush and the Republicans are leaving the next administration, the war in Iraq, etc., etc. - JTatEHT, on 09/17/2008, -3/+38I sure hope that the tide has turned toward Obama and turned for good. One day McCain says the fundamentals of the economy are sound; the next day he calls for a 9/11 Committee to study it. If this is a sign of how he would govern, he would be appointing committees to tell him two years later what he should have known and what he should have done two years previously.
- aussiejan, on 09/17/2008, -1/+32Right about the typing - Stephen Hawking doesn't seem to have problems using a computer.
- apastafarian, on 09/17/2008, -3/+34People follow these polls like they're odds sheets for football. Why? The polls mean little and may even be manipulated by the media companies to maintain ratings. Only one poll counts.
- cadmiumpaint, on 09/17/2008, -3/+32The real story is that McCain's pick of Palin is backfiring. When McCain campaigns alone he can't draw crowds. Yesterday at a rally there were empty seats.
When they campaign together, people get up and leave after Palin's speech. I even saw on TV people leaving as McCain was talking.
McCain support also looses support when people like Barr and Nadar are on the ticket...places like Florida. - wild, on 09/17/2008, -4/+33Makes sense.
When the media was dominated by political talking points, mudslinging, and a focus on words of phrase and attack ads, McCain was winning.
Once a real issue we have to face, like the economy, started dominating the news media, Obama rises to the top. - Deadpixel1221, on 09/17/2008, -4/+31McCain is going to lose.
- najdorf, on 09/17/2008, -8/+35(50±1.5)% of the US is retarded.
- christimarie, on 09/16/2008, -9/+36In answer to the first comment Jerome Corsi is a nut case and sounds like someone with such a vendetta that he is like a hateful poison pill. May he chose on his own venom!!! One question for anyone who knows: Why doesn't Real Clear Politics include the Research 2000 poll in their averages?
- homer2001, on 09/17/2008, -5/+28Obama also back in front on Intrade.com
- Changa, on 09/17/2008, -1/+23I want a president I can respect.
Pragmatism would be a plus.
It's been a long time. - fani, on 09/17/2008, -1/+22Yes, Jerome Corsi is a nut case.
Why didn't you use the reply button ? Thats right. You didn't want your comment to get buried but want it to be visible prominently at the top so you can score cheap-diggs and feel satisfied. Cheap digg-whore. - Berkana, on 09/17/2008, -0/+21Corsi may end up getting sued for libel. Factcheck.org fact-checked Corsi and found him to be full of lies.
- bjornski, on 09/17/2008, -0/+20Yeah, they voted for Bush
- kingUssop, on 09/17/2008, -0/+19I predict McCain to keep sliding because of the economy issues.
- sugarazor, on 09/17/2008, -0/+18Where are her medical records citing this supposed depression? I have no doubt that light deprivation is a real issue, but I have serious qualms about a potential Vice President with a mental disorder.
- Deadpixel1221, on 09/17/2008, -5/+23Because Real Clear Politics is a right wing Trojan horse.
They might as well be called Fair and Balanced Politics, they drop Research 2000 and keep Rasmussen a republican pollster and Shawn Hannity's favorite guest.
I wish people would wake up and stop giving them legitimacy. They are as bad as Drudge. - ozydingo, on 09/17/2008, -2/+20"When you are looking up to someone, they are looking down at you."
***** you. No, seriously. This kind of catchy-line, twists on semantics but ignoring actual meaning is really one of the largest puke-inducing factors in politics and debate. You took the metaphor of looking up to someone too literally, too far--and you know it and so does everyone else. But it's easy to repeat, easy to remember, and it turns potentially meaningful debates into childish strings of "nuh uh!" "yuh huh!!" ad nauseam.
So ***** you, get lost, and take your childish argument tactics with you.
(What, have I been acting stressed lately? :-) ) - DeskFlyer, on 09/17/2008, -2/+20Just post a link next time, *****.
- smurfsahoy, on 09/17/2008, -1/+19The "number one issue" is NOT whether Obama is good for the white house. The number one issue is WHO is best for the white house - McCain and Obama both require equal scrutiny.
- soulweaponry, on 09/17/2008, -4/+21If bush can get elected a 2nd time after screwing up so horribly, it looks like that's what the american people want. I'm voting obama, but i wouldn't be surprised if mccain took over just because the majority of americans don't think with their head. Sad sad thing
- JTatEHT, on 09/17/2008, -1/+18I agree totally with your support of Obama/Biden. However, I also have a somewhat faltering respect for McCain and an unfaltering wish that we could return to an era of bipartisan politics cleansed of the recent hatreds. Your post is not totally over the top, but... Well, I am a bit overwhelmed with the hatreds that have been heaped upon Barack Obama, and I just wish we could debate the real issues with civility. On topic though: I grew up with the Computer Revolution, starting to program computers in 1963 and developing computers and computer systems until my retirement a few years ago. I have seen many computer illiterate people, and it is clear that McCain is one of those. His war injury excuse, which I had not heard, may be a way to preserve his dignity.
- smurfsahoy, on 09/17/2008, -1/+18So what you're saying is we shouldn't consider the future at all when voting for our future president?
I am trying to think of some way to respond to that, but I think it's most embarrassing to you to simply let your stupidity stand alone. - Cattywampus, on 09/17/2008, -1/+17"the four polls have gone from McCain +1.5 to Obama +1.5."
Since all polls have a margin of error of somewhere around 3 percentage points, numbers like these are totally useless. - SpeedSteamBoat, on 09/18/2008, -1/+16The constitution was designed to be changed.
You don't know what treason is.
Ninth Amendment.
Now shut the ***** up and learn to use the "Edit" button. - inactive, on 09/17/2008, -2/+17Translating from Republitard to English:
"Unelectable" ==> "Black"
"Far Left Wing" ==> "Unwilling to suck Rush Limbaugh's *****"
"EVERY political rating site" ==> "I heard from this one guy"
"one of the MOST LIBERAL in Congress" ==> "He's not in favor of stoning women who talk back to their husbands"
"the vast majority of Americans" ==> "Me and my small group of redneck ***** neighbors" - kolyana, on 09/17/2008, -2/+17It has got to the point where I do not trust the polls at all. We keep on reading about them being rigged (one way or the other), rigged to purposefully keep the race close, only targeting certain market segments (and fully realizing how they would influence results), and almost daily swings one way or the other.
The polls have become a total farce.
Plus, the whole thing is going to be rigged to hell and back anyway. - rondeth, on 09/17/2008, -0/+15http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/corsis_dul ...
- inactive, on 09/18/2008, -0/+1560% - percentage of population eligible to vote who did vote in 2004

70% total American retards - inactive, on 09/17/2008, -1/+16We've got a long way to go before we're outside of the Repug Margin of Theft. Luckily, McWorse/Phailin seem to be imploding nicely.
- bonshepherd, on 09/17/2008, -1/+16Watch for the smears to start closer to election days. I am sure the McCain camp are brewing up some tasty treats in the ***** department.
- rock2casbah, on 09/17/2008, -3/+18Not surprising. The traditional media was counting on having control of the msg. They have been doing it forever. Thought they could sell us that Caribou Barbie gimmckry and that military porn presentation known as the RNC. Fooled ya TradMed theres a new kid in town. We are on the blogesphere where lies and distorions are debunked the moment they come out your cheerleading, parroting pie holes. So lies about "Bridges to nowhere" don't fly anymore. This is not 2000 or 2004. No more swiftboat smears and lies to linger unchallenged by the truth. TradMed may as well face facts, if you cant beat us join us in telling the truth!
- cadmiumpaint, on 09/17/2008, -1/+16you know whats funny, when McCain and Palin speak together, people get up and leave during McCain's speech
When McCain campaigns by himself there are empty seats.
every major news outlet is reporting that. - steve9924, on 09/17/2008, -0/+14TRUE democracy doesn't actually work... then then wants of the many overrun the needs of the few. Minorities don't stand a chance in a real democracy.
the US is actually a republic.... ie "rule of law" with democratically elected representatives... it's different than a democracy - TheodoreRex, on 09/17/2008, -3/+16Just got today's tracks and it confirms the trend. Today, Gallup shows the race back to Obama by 2. Only Rasmussen has it McCain (+1). While not indicative of the final outcome (since we elect our presidents through the electoral college, not popular vote), it does indicate that the momentum has again shifted. It will probably do so several more times between now and Nov 4...
- alothrop, on 09/17/2008, -2/+15you can look up to someone with them thinking you are beneath them. take your daddy issues elsewhere.
- DeskFlyer, on 09/17/2008, -0/+13Hitting on what Dean said above me, telephone polls consider 'likely voters', meaning they choose people who have voted before many times (that's how they get their database of people to call), not ones that just registered a month ago. There will be droves of new young people mobbing election booths this November and it is going to make a significant difference this year.
- ileftfark, on 09/17/2008, -0/+12I'm not a McCain fan, but he *never* said it was impossible to use a computer because of his wartime injuries.
"I am learning to get online myself, and I will have that down fairly soon, getting on myself," McCain told the New York Times in an interview that appeared Sunday. "I don't expect to be a great communicator, I don’t expect to set up my own blog, but I am becoming computer literate to the point where I can get the information that I need."
Even so, McCain bluntly admits, "I don't e-mail. I've never felt the particular need to e-mail." - NYT via Wired http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2008/07/mccain-sa ...
Making ***** up and spouting it online doesn't make people agree with you. - trolleyfan, on 09/17/2008, -0/+12"True Democracy" has *never* happened in the United States - or almost anywhere else, either. Mind, if we banned political parties, we'd have a good shot of starting to *develop* a true democracy. But as long as political parties exist, it never will.
- enantiodromia, on 09/17/2008, -0/+12pretty hard to stay ahead in the polls when people hear every day about another huge bank going under, and the Feds bailing them out. people may have short memories, but i think they do remember who has been president the last 8 years.
- Deanblackoak, on 09/17/2008, -1/+13Nah. These polls do not take in consideration all the new voters. And democrats are way ahead in that area.
- RAEP, on 09/17/2008, -2/+13Finally the repubs can stop posting a link to realclearpolitics and saying "RARAR OBAMA IS LOSING HA HA!"
It's ridiculous how some people simply don't understand what a convention bounce is. - WasabiBomb, on 09/17/2008, -0/+11The ones in his head, apparently.
- fugularity, on 09/17/2008, -0/+11How exactly do you figure that Palin speaking is a good thing?
