Why Is The Election So Close?
Months ago when Obama defeated hillary for the nomination, the left were so cocky they were going to stroll into the White House without breaking a sweat
Obama had about 320 Electoral College votes, and double digit lead in the polls
Now, Obama's lead is gone, and he has a only 275 Electoral College votes based on current polls
What happened to the messiah?

Racism and the power of propaganda over people who don't have the time to investigate phony deceptive information. How many still believe Iraq had something to do with 911? Lots. How many think Obama is Muslim? Lots. Sad that conservative MSM is so slanted.
"According to a July New York Times/CBS News poll, when whites were asked whether they would be willing to vote for a black candidate, 5 percent confessed that they would not. That’s not so bad, right? But wait. The pollsters then rephrased the question to get a more accurate portrait of the sentiment. They asked the same whites if most of the people they knew would vote for a black candidate. Nineteen percent said that those they knew would not. Depending on how many people they know and how well they know them, this universe of voters could be substantial. That’s bad."

Perahps the election is close because voters are seeing Obama is not the new type of politican the left billed him as. They see him for what he really is. A tax and spend liberal with no experience, and no new ideas

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself."

We are not measuring levels of racism here, we are recognizing it for what it is. Sorry these things confuse you.

So it boils down it if you do not vote for Obama you are a racist according to the Obamabots
Forget about his racist rants in his books
Forget about his terrorist friends
Forget about his racist pastor
Forget how he wants to raise taxes
Forget how he wants to increase spending
Forget how he wants government run healthcare
Forget how he wants amnesty for illegals
Forget how he is soft on terrorism

Basically two things:
1.) More and more people are coming to realize that his rhetoric about "Change we can believe in", "Yes We Can", etc., are just that: rhetoric, with no substance.
2.) People are coming to see that he is just another liberal, more extreme than most, who wants to raise taxes, expand government control, expand the Nanny State, and misread or ignore foreign policy issues. Every time someone this liberal has run for the Presidency, he has lost in a landslide, unless his opponent has been a quasi-liberal in turn or has major problems of his own (See McGovern, Carter, Mondale, Dukakis).
It's actually not surprising that Obama isn't leading. What's surprising, is that he isn't losing by a similar landslide... yet. But it's still three months before the election... there's plenty of time for voters to find out more about him. His only hope is that they also find out more and more about the quasi-liberal-ness of his opponent. But in this case, Obama is so much more extreme than his opponent, that even a direct comparison bodes no good for him.

People are seeing Obama is out of his league. He is a raw rookie who is indecisive and nothing more then a blue nosed arrogant liberal

We are measuring levels of racism. The racism of Rev Wright, Michelle O and of Barry himself. There is plenty of racism in this campaign, plenty of anti-white racism.

No comment on your guy's falling poll numbers? You were so giddy a few weeks ago when Obama had over 320 Electoral College votes - how do you feel now?you don't even know what the word "Marxist" means.

Hmm, we attribute worse behavior to others than to ourselves? Known phenomenon in polling, "Are you in better financial condition than 1 year ago?" Inevitably the majority are 'yes.' Ask, "Are the people you know in better financial condition than a year ago?" That would be a no, Alex.
Same thing here, they didn't get the answer they wanted, so let the polled through racism assumption onto others. Sheesh.

exactly, you can make a poll say just about anything you want. trying to drum up some guilt votes. " But..I don't wanna be racist...."
