Latest Gallup Poll

GALLUP SHOCK: 49 OBAMA, 47 MCCAIN WITH LIKELY VOTERS

This is still a horse race. Do not believe the drive-by media polls.

Correct, just came up and is developing. I remember the Dems saying they had it all wrapped up when Reagan and both Bushes ran. Typical.

this is very different IMO. A weak candidate paddling uphill against some very tough economic news. Helps that the opponent is a total sham, but the economy makes and breaks candidates. Gore was one of the few too stupid to take advantage.

The liberal media's strategy is very simple. Convince everyon Obama has won. Then hope potential McCain voters stay home instead of voting for a "lost cause".

I just have to hold on to the idea that the average American might say he/she supports BHO, but in the privacy of the booth, will not pull the lever for someone they have doubts about...call me naive, but I have to "cling" to that thought

Correct! They've done it since Reagan ran. A typical Dem/Lib ploy.

Also, just heard OB' is hurting in Pa.
