    Default McCain support continues to evaporate

    McCain could become the Republican Michael Dukakis before all the votes are counted.

    Well gabby your right, in your own mind.

    The polls, however, disagree with you.

    The only numbers I ever believe are those that are counted on election day.

    and you could be in for ANOTHER SHOCKER...

    how sweet that would be...
    "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."
    Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC)

    Trolly Moley Gabbo, where do you come with this stuff?

    The polls show you to be wrong.

    This will likely be a tight race, but I understand the new voting blocks among the deceased and fictional characters will deliver the election to Obama.

    Well then maybe you should lay off the articles that quote polls.

    I find this report puzzling given that the RealClearPolitics numbers show Obama's lead declining, particularly in the swing states....
    ...full immersion.....

    Apparently gabby doesn't look at polls.

    Unless they're quoted in an article that slams McCain.

    It wasn't the numbers quoted that I was interested in. It was the mood of thinking GOP voters who have begun to realize that the McCain-Palin ticket is destined to go down in flames.

    So..they're "thinking GOP voters" because they've started to change their minds about McCain. The rest are still stupid racists because they're against Obama. HOW TYPICAL OF YOU


    The fact remains, you don't believe in polls, unless they back up your beliefs.

    Gabby must have missed or ignored this. It is a 2 point race in this poll

    Have you folks checked out Real Clear Politics... which USED to be THE favorite spot for one of the rightwing koolaid brigade on here???

    Obama's leads in VA by over 8 pts. He leads in FL by nearly 5 pts....and he is even leading in NC!!!

    RCP has seven states listed as tossups: NV, MO, IN, OH, WV, NC, FL...and Obama is leading in FIVE of them...

    but even IF McCain were able to win all seven, he'd STILL lose the electoral college 286-252.

    I am impressed by the brave face all you rightwingnuts are putting on, but you gotta be privately admitting that you've lost this one and lost it big.

    A democratic president with long coattails and 60 democratic senators. We could repeal the terrible Bush policies before the snow melted next spring! And Stevens and Gisnburg could retire and KNOW that young liberal justices would take their place. My hope is that Obama picks Hillary for one of those supreme court spots!

    Have you failed to see polls closing - some as little the 2 points?

    We still have 18 days to go, and Obama saying he wants to redistribute wealth will not help him

    Maybe you think more people want to work hard and have the wealth taken away from them and given to others - I feel otherwise.

    yet there are more McCain signs then ever and Obama is trying to make ridiculous attacks that have been discredited decades ago.
    If we were as industrious to become good as to make ourselves great, we should become really great by being good, and the number of valuable men would be much increased; but it is a grand mistake to think of being great without goodness; and i pronounce it as certain that there was never yet a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous." - Ben Franklin
