Where are all those supposedly disaffected Clinton Democrats who refuse to vote for Obama and plan to vote for McCain instead? They seem to be hiding from these polls (though I’ll grant there are a few people out there with their heads stuck so far up their asses that they actually think a vote for McCain is equivalent to a vote for Clinton or a good alternative to Obama).

In a last bit of poll trivia, Quinnipiac’s poll also found that having Clinton on the ticket didn’t help Obama at all.

I’m glad that Obama seems to have the upper hand in the swing states. Though, the two candidates seem a little too close for comfort, according to the polls. Perhaps it is because Hilary’s campaign did somewhat divide the party. Another reason is probably due to racism. Both Obama and his wife are receiving way too much criticism. McCain’s wife had no problem criticizing Michelle Obama’s “proud to be an American speech.” Why didn’t anyone point out Cindy McCain’s past drug and theft issues? You know why, because unlike the McCain’s and the rest of the Republican Party, the Obama’s actually have class.
The recent polls confirms what I’ve always known all along. The arguments and baseless hot topics regarding Clinton supporters jumping on the McCain Train was bogus and an effort by Republicans to confuse voters. Senator McCain has served our country with honor. Senator Obama is a man of integrity and can easily serve as a poster child for moral and ethical accountability. If we can just put duck tape on the mouths of the media and delete the virus contaminated editorial opinions from our newspapers, perhaps we can have an exciting presidential race. We live in the most blessed country in the world – a fact that no spin doctor can ever debate. It does not matter if a Republican or Democrat wins the White House. It is, however, imperative that we work together toward a common goal, “economic growth, a strong, sound education program, job opportunities for our youth, affordable health care and safety for our citizens.” A country divided will not stand. I love this country and will continue to pray for our leaders – Republicans and Democrats alike.
McCain got into the Academy because his father did. His father got into the Academy because his father did, also. The first McCain deserved it; the others did not.
Enough of the recycling of the toilet water. Our forefathers came to this country
to obtain a fair chance of succeeding. Enough “legacies”. EARN your place in life.
That is the true conservative ethic; not this corporate welfare elitist trash that have run this country into the ground.
GO OBAMA!!
Once again the media is doing everything possibly to make the public believe that their “rock star” is perfect and, ahead in everything. I’m democrat but Mr. Obama scares me with his negative ideas and lock of tremendous knowledge in foreign and domentic politics.
I always vote for a better prepare candidate, no matter what party belongs to.
My vote will go to McCain. I want America to RAISE!.

Obama just makes better sense to me than McCain. WE have to fix America. Obama has to fulfill his promises to America. He has a whole Party to help him and ourselves of course to our individual bit according to his lead. He is a leader for America NOW!!
