A far left liberal university polls and the far left candidate is the winner?

DUH!

PUMA!

Republicans be afraid….very afraid. LMAO

"According to a new poll from Quinnipiac University, Barack Obama is leading McCain in the state by more than 20 points, 56 percent to 35 percent. Much of that lead stems from the Illinois senator's 16 point advantage among independent voters in the state. He also pulls in 16 percent of Republicans there."

Look at that! 16 point lead among Independents and a 16 point lead among Republicans. Guess what guys??? Now we can gamble! LOL!!!

For one, Obama is a much better candidate and CT'ians aren't stupid. Two, Joe Lieberman lied to them saying he would run as an independent but would switch back over to the democratic side, which he obviously hasn't and they feel betrayed by the republicans. That's a shocker huh?

America is Obama country!

That just shows you how courageous Lieberman is to take his position. It's often easy to go along with whatever the public mood is in any given time, it's harder to stick to your convictions when it's not popular. I commend Lieberman and Chuck Hagel for standing up to their parties and doing what they think is right even when it's not popular to do so. This is what I'm voting for John McCain.

That shows Judas Lieberman that Connecticut people are intelligent.

This CT. native is definitly a strong Obama supporter ! At the risk of sounding bias, I do see ALOT of Obama bumper stickers and I've yet to meet anyone who is voting for McCain, even my 74 y/o MIL and her 86 y/o 'boyfriend'.

I might be dense, but how is it news that a state that typically votes dem is, gasp, Obama country? Now, if Texas or any state from that burgundy red center strip, were "Obama Country," that would be news.

This time

Democrats are ready for the repubs and to change Washington.

Obama is the man of the moment.

Obama 08 & 12.

What is wrong with people of Connecticut to have elected a turncoat such as Libermann to Senate?. Lets hope after this term, this low-life gets thrown out.

RFO's, don't be scared to show your support.

welcome aboard CT!! Good to have you!!

Joe Lieberman, while technically from Connecticut, is a total shill for Israel and thinks more about them then American interests. No wonder his state shuns him…

Lieberman has no other friends other than McSame. The Dem's need to kick this gut to the streets. When is CNN going to cover McCain's Tax evasion problems on his 7 houses?

it's shaping up to be that….

-V

please everyone check out dumpmccain.com…
you will be shocked and appalled
WHAT DOES MCCAIN HAVE TO HIDE? RELEASE YOUR MILITARY RECORDS….

Yes we can!

i live in pa and pa is obama country too i live in the suburbs of philly and people are not angry with obamas BITTERNESS comment obamas right we are bitter how can you not be after the last 7 yrs and what the bush admin has done to us our economy loss lives of our innoncent men and woman all the lies he installed on us thats right were bitter thats why were for obama we want the madness to stop not having mccain so it can continue!!!

I guess LIEberman has lost his "Joe-mentum"…

GObama '08.

Obama is winning in the whole country!!!! We need youth, energy, hope and complete change in direction!!!!! And i'm in my 60's, registered republican who will NEVER vote republican again after this administration. It's time to turn our country over to the young and educated. No more warmongers!!!! In order to save this world from being blown to bits, we need diplomacy, diplomacy and more diplomacy!!!!! Someone who inspires and is willing try new things. We need help before we go under and most of his ideas are great. We are going to go through a very painful few years because of being controled by big oil and an oil president but we are going to have to bit the bullet and work our way out of oil!!! Obama and his team can do this!!! And the world likes him!!

I wonder if Joe Liberman is the one that is going to launches the new terror attack. Please stop scaring people for political reason. America, it is not true no terror attack in 2009. If there is one Joe Lieberman and the Republican Party is behind it.

Was there a concern that Connecticut might be Republican country? I can't see why this is news - I don't think anyone in America thinks that Connecticut is going to vote McCain…

Alright CT! Glad to see you joining the ranks of us in dark blue.

WAKE UP CONNECTICUT YOU ARE BEING DECEIVED BY ONE OF GREATEST DECEIVERS OF ALL TIME. THIS MAN HAS NOTHING BUT HIS TONGUE TO BACK HIM. NOSTRADAMUS SAYS A MAN WITH THE TONGUE OF THE SNAKE WILL COME FROM THE ISLAND TO RISE TO THE HIGHEST OFFICE OF THE LAND. BEFORE HE IS FOUND OUT HE WILL HAVE CAUSED HAVOC AND DESTRUCTION THE DOWNFALL OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH WILL DESTROY ROME , TURKEY AND WILL TRY TO DESTROY ISRAEL. WHEN HE IS FOUND OUT HE WILL FLEE TO THE MIDDLE EAST TO LIVE OUT THE REST OF HIS LIFE IN LUXURY. BEWARE AMERICA.

lieberman should be recalled.he is a warmonger and fearmonger,who i hope ,is seeing his last term as a senator.he betrayed his party,his constituents,and this nation,in his quest to dominate the middle-east,as a surrogate for israel.

Has anyone thought that if Obama becomes President, that the run of Baby Boomers in the White House is stopped at just two people (compared to the seven or so from the WWII generation)? Maybe the misplaced intensity of all of this can be seen as Hillary?s older (Boomer) supporters mistakenly interpreting the defeat of their candidate as an unjust repudiation of their entire generation. Considering some Baby Boomers have been known to take themselves entirely too seriously, it wouldn?t surprise me if this is playing a part in all of this.

Lierberman is done in Connecticut which is why he is in John McCain's hip pocket. Except for a position in a McCain administration, Joe is out of politics.

On a separate topic, Mrs. Obama is a lovely woman and will make a great 1st Lady. It is unfortunate that we've "dummed down" America so much that many folks say they have a negative impression of her.

Clearly they've not interacted with the woman and are basing this on sound bites from her "I'm really proud" comments … which by the way were cheered by the audience that heard them 1st hand.

On an even handed basis, when I contrast that with John McCain stating that " I didn't love my country until I was a POW", I Michelle's comment is even more innoculous.

I knew I liked Connecticut—Obama 08.

We're going to WINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN !

Enough with the polls already! Let's just wait till November!!

Joe Lieberman is reviled for a good reason. It's a shame that so many Democrats of national stature insisted on supporting this man in the primaries. Lieberman will be out of politics permanently in 2012, no one will have him, and no one should be forced to have him.

Not even the Republicans.

When all is said and done it's going to be the Northeast, the Left Coast, and Illinois for Obama and everybody else will be for McCain.

McCain's the best campaigner out of this entire presidential race, so I don't think he'll have to much of a problem swaying the swing states and even some of the blue-leaning states. Obama has always been the presumed Democratic candidate, but the media thought Americans wouldn't vote black. Despite the heavy favoritism, it still took him 6 months to get nominated. McCain on the other hand had to come from the back of the pack and annihilated his competition by securing the nominations months before Obama.

Good news for Obama. Yes We Can!!

At this speed the only state that will be left for McBush to win is TEXAS.
Anyway after his lost in November Mcsame will work in OBAMA administration as Secretary of Vietnam Veteran's Affaires. LoL

so who cares what "droopy the dog" thinks. Oh Sorry I mean Lieberman!

Lieberman is interested in destroying muslim countries for no reason that is all he cares about.

This does not surprise me. Lieberman is a hypocrite. Please, with the economy the way it is and getting worse I would not vote for a Republican. Look at the mess in America! I don't trust John McCain and there are many people who are just like myself. John McCain doesn't know anything about the economy. We will all go broke and lose our jobs. The terrorist scare tactics do not work with me. I am a former military brat. My dad is a 21 year veteran. I know all about the military. Yes we can and will!

I don't think they'll be going for Lieberman after this election!

Obama 08′

Joe Lieberman needs to walk away into the night. If his idea of what the Democratic party should be was correct, he'd be the out-going vice-president right now. But he's not. In this voter's view, that's because Joe has the personality of an oyster and he seems to be wiling to send troops off to die willy-nilly. Sounds like a republican to me, even though he claims to be independent.

Joe should accentuate the things that used to make him a democrat, whatever they may be. HIs veiled republican-ism just doesn't wash.

This is no surprise. Pennsylvania is McCain country, however, and will cause our illegitimate Democratic nominee, Obama, to lose.

Connecticut sincerely apologizes for reelecting this man while we knew he was going in the wrong direction…

Liberman better be careful, looks like he might not have a job next time he runs if his approval rating continues to drop.

I am from Connecticut and I fully agree. Lot of Obama supporters at work and all around the state

Oh I get it—you're talking about when Lieberman was VP candidate in 2004.

A lot has changed since 2004. And Gore is not running–and Obama and Gore are vastly different on their philosophies regarding Iraq.

Conneticut is also the state of former presidential candidate, Senator Chris Dodd who is an able and respected Obama supporter who has spoken out convincingly for him. Dodds ' 25 years representing Connecticut , his strong advocacy for children and families and his service on the Foreign Relations Committee has given him credibility that trumps
Lieberman's endorsement of McCain.

Trying to keep it artificially close? Every poll out there shows McCain way up in Florida. McCain will win bigger in Florida and Virginia (listed as toss-ups) than Obama will in Pennsylvania (listed as leaning liberal).

Great news!

Connecticut was always going to go for Obama……..he even beat Clinton in that state during the primaries. Washington, Oregon, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania should all be solids for Obama as well……..no way are they going to go for Mccain.

CONNECTICUT IS A HIGHLY EDUCATED STATE.

THEY WOULD VOTE FOR THEIR LOCAL DOG CATCHER

BEFORE THEY VOTE FOR THE OLD SENILE MORONIC BIGOT.

LIEBERFOOL'S JOB IS TO KEEP MCBUSH ON POINT, WHICH

HAS PROVEN TO BE NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE, & TO KEEP HIM

FROM FALLING ON HIS MISERABLE FACE.

Start looking for a new Job Joe L. cause your not going to be in politics much longer..

Well isn't that a shocker. With a snake like Lieberman leading the attack front it should be no surprise that CT is Obama's. Seeing that HE did help get Lieberman elected all for him to turn on Obama in the end.

But oh well.

Obama '08!

they deserve him. i would not brag about it. obama is such a loser. he flip-flops more than john kerry does. Connniticutt can keep him, what kind of people vote for

Wow, a New England state is leaning heavily toward a Democratic candidate for president. Next we'll be seeing stories on here how fish actually live in the ocean. Next big news story will be Obama's margin in Rhode Island, or maybe a late breaker that the Pope is Catholic.

Come on.

connecticut is a non issue. it wont make or break the election. people there cling to their guns and religion but they are also too stupid to care. they have always voted democrat and so its not a surprise that they will do it again this year. DUH!

Pssst. Texas is going to go blue! Mr. McCain, you'd better start spending lots of time and money here if you hope to keep Texas going the same way as your mentor, W. Bush. Are you going to come here and tell us you are going to be the same as Bush or that he sucks and you are going a different direction? In either case, you are going to alienate part of the base. Democrats are out-hustling your confused and demoralized folks, and you are due for a nasty surprise in November.

LIEBERMORON COULDN'T GET HIS RELATIVES TO VOTE

FOR THE OTHER MORON.

MCBUSH, PILL POPPER, & LIEBERMORON LIKE THE

THREE STOOGES, WITH A PRIVATE JET.

I respect Senator McCain but not as a President. So this poll is good news. Does not guarantee anything but kinda sorta shows the trend.

Yes we can.joe liberman in your face.

Why hasn't Obama yet agreed to a debate with McCain?

Is it because in 2004 there were no debates until after the respective party conventions, with the first presidential debate being held in September?

Is it because both nominees are still the "presumptive" nominees of their respective parties?

Actually, that's probably it. In fact (and I know this will break the heart of McCain supporters just looking for something, anything, on which to attack Obama) the last two presidential elections only had 4 debates each. There were 3 presidential debates and 1 vice presidential debate. In 2000, the first debate was on October 3rd, and they were all wrapped up by October 17th. In 2004, the first debate was on September 30th. In 1996, there were only 2 debates, both in October.

In fact, in the entire history of televised presidential debates (going back to Kennedy versus Nixon in 1960), there has never been a presidential debate earlier then September 23rd.

So why do so many screeching strident McCain supporters want to have debates earlier? Why do they want to fill the months between now and november with an endless series of monotonous debates? Oh, that's right, it's because McCain has no money and needs the free publicity and the free airtime.

Aw, too bad.

This proves what in a Democratic state that's always voted Democrat. This was never a toss-up state. Not a surprise and not newsworthy. I'll go back to sleep until there's an announcement coming from the likes of Florida and Ohio.

SurveyUSA show Lieberman as a liability for McCain in every state. I believe Lieberman cost Gore the close election. People are still somewhat racial, and Lieberman is a Jew. I believe race will play a part in this election as well. It is sad, but none the less, true.

Beware of Republican acting like Hillary supporters and trying to divide the party. STAY UNITE. As Hillary supporters, we have more to lose with McCain. We should vote Democrat. STAY UNITE.

Down with Lie-berman

Gee, I hope we don't end up with obama, a weak, inexperienced individual!

Maybe we will, with so many following a fluff head.

Let Lieberman lose once more, this time with McSame. When he will play sore like he did in 2000, we can call the campaign "Same-Loserman-2008″.

SAME-LOSERMAN-2008

These Quinnipac polls always show Obama with a huge lead while many others show the race as being very close. I think the Quinnipac people are infiltrated by the BAM BAM cheerleaders just like much of the liberal media was BEFORE Bam Bam started to be vetted properly. Now Quinnipac do us all a favor…Find Bam Bams REAL birth certificate and show us the front and the back with the proper seal on it….and also why is the certificate number blackened out ?? Its no secret he was born SOMEWHERE and its no secret that there is a ceritifcation number so why all the secrecy ?????

Quinnipac people aka Bam Bam cult members……. The Messiah is losing his luster …too funny…

Everyone I know in Connecticut is angry at Lieberman. They feel he lied to them in order to retain his seat in the Senate. Most can't wait to get back at him in 2012. He's going to be in some trouble. I think Lieberman will look at the polls and decline to run again.

"A far left liberal university polls and the far left candidate is the winner?"

Alright, by all means, encourage McCain to invest time and resources in Connecticut. Seriously, go ahead!

I'm feeling a landslide win by OBAMA.

I thought racism is over and I still believe that. But some people want to keep it alive for opportunistic advantage. Look, how Obama used it to gain nomination! When he does it "it's nature of political campaign" but when others do it–"it's same old politics".!!!!!

I think the country is in for a very big surprise in November……..This longtime TEXAS Republican is voting for Obama. I promise you I am not the only one! McCain is a good man, but not presidential material and far too old for the job. We cannot afford to have our reputation as a country sink any deeper around the world………..It will with McCain.

Obama '08

Polling by Quinnipiac may be tilted left but then again the may have understood the real mix of this fall voters. I see plenty of new voters this fall who are overwhelmingly for Obama. These voters are hard to poll since they are not showing up on historic lists. Quinnipiac may be tilted but it may be right at the end.

Hey McCain - maybe you should cut Lieberman loose!
Nevermind, he's helping us out

No surprise for CT really. The South is where the real test will be. Obama has got to start focusing more on the core Red states.

Lieberman makes me sick. He better be praying his heart out that Obama doesn't win or else Lieberman will be very lonely in the corner for the next 4 years. Lieberman is a scumbag who traded in his party because of his love for Israel and hatred toward Iran. If Lieberman had his way he would be more than willing to sacrifice our soldiers lives by attacking Iran over his lust for Israel.

McCain should keep campaigning outside the United States and the percentages could really show us where the people stand.

Well what is expected. Joe Liberman is a total sell out. Maybe he wants another chance at the VP - McCain/Liberman what a hoot!

Chuck July 2nd, 2008 12:52 pm ET

A far left liberal university polls and the far left candidate is the winner?

DUH!

PUMA!
——————————————————————————————————–
-My God you PUMAs are like a plague of idiocy….Quinnipiac is a very distinguished polling authority…think before you type the usual verbal diarrhea

HOLLA!

OBAMA / SEBELIUS -08!

This, of course, is no surprise. What is surprising is that Lieberman was re-elected.

McCain has a serious problem if Obama is leading with Independents, and even gaining 16% of republicans.

Granted this state has a long track record of voting democratic, which we can account the independent lead to. But the 16% of republicans moving to Obama is a HUGE alarm that should be going off for the McCain camp.

I will also concede that this state has first hand knowledge of how horrid a person Leiberman is, and as such has a complete distain for any of his proven poor judgement, up to and including his presidential support. I can't say they are wrong either, just listen to Leiberman, and choose the opposite, you will always be right.

Take the AOL Straw poll for president - redone every week, and currently over 200,000 votes. Better than 1300 or 1900 or however many these other polls sample. And it's AOL - not a liberal university, not a conservative university - a truer cross section.

"Generation X" - be afraid - be very afraid.

Quinnipiac also happens to be one of the most widely respected surveyers by both sides. Only those who have no experience with statistics and/or surveys criticize polls from established and proven firms.

Poor Uneducated Miserable Adults…
Get a grip.

Lieberman is the ultimate flip-flopper…..McCain and he are perfect for each other….Any credibility Lieberman ever had is long gone

Oregon is Obama Country too. Let it be known. Most of us don't care much for the John Keating 5 McCain style politics here in these parts.

why is this news

New Hampshire is the only state in New England that McCain has a shot

and i don't think he will.

as far as polls go, I don't trust CNN or Gallop because

they don't have the correct turn out figures

so the numbers are going to be high

look at the turn out when both primaries were

competitive often the winner of the democratic primary had more votes
then the whole republican votes combined.

they are going to be high

if this was Florida, Ohio, or Iowa or any state in the south outside of Virginia this would be news

sucks to be the editor of the political ticker now huh

CT is my state!
We DISLIKE Liberman - he is a fool

But the biggest fool is McSame…

This is OBAMA COUNTRY ANYDAY!

Noooo a rich educated state for Obama? Cant be! and your telling me and uneducated poor state like Miss. is going to be decidely for McCain? Yup! Conservatives get what they deserve for voting republican. You get a poor economy and lack of jobs. We Liberals get what we deserve a great President like BARACK!

LET'S GO CONNECTICUT!!! OBAMA 08!!!

That simply means that war mongering Lieberman is no longer relevant in his own state. He knows that, come November, he'll lose his committee chairmanship in the Senate, and will be excluded from the Democratic caucus, as the Democrats gain a stronger control of the Senate.

Just a few notes here. Hillary Clinton won West Virginia by 30+ points. I think we can be fairly certain that this state isn't "Leaning McCain." It is McCain. In addition, if you look at states where Hillary won the majority of the vote by large margins, they are going to be more prone to vote for McCain then Obama. Since Hillary was closer to the middle then Obama, I doubt that they would vere left.

Then again, since I started voting in 1980, the media always had the Democrat candidate so far ahead at this point in time. Remember Kerry in 2004? He was leading Bush by 30 points. And Al Gore in 2000? Also up by over 20 points.

PUMA, when McCain discontinue your social security/ disability check, you are going to be in real TROUBLE!!! VOTE OBAMA 08.

Yea, we've heard your "Obama polls" before.

McCain 2008 Hillary 2012

I don't like Obama, but I am glad the people of Connecticut are seeing Leiberman for what he is and have not cared that he endorsed McCain.

Leiberman's devotion is Israel. He should pack-up and leave America, that is the reason he wants to start a war with Iran.

I get a kick out of the people who dismiss the polls when they disagree with the outcome. Invariably people who don't know anyting about polling, I am especialy amused when they say — "that can't be true, none of MY friends like Obama (or fill in the blank).

Newsflash for Chuck: ALL universities lean left, because education = liberal thinking, while uneducated = conservative fear of change.

"Far Left University?" Does Chuck even know what far left is? This country has no Left, let alone a "Far" left. It's called Centrist. The US is so Far Right the center looks Left to them. A small amount of reading will explain the political spectrum to those that have no understanding of it.

Lieberman, the Democratic-turned-Independent senator from where? Connecticut? He might as well be from Pluto, hatched from a pod left here by some alien ship – on purpose. He didn’t have much sway with them, either.

Now all Connecticut has to do is to dump Lieberman that disloyal, irrelevant political opportunist who will go whichever way he thinks will benefit him most. Unfortunately, Connecticut, New England and the U.S. will be stuck with him for a few more years. Perhaps both sides of the aisle will find a nice place for him alone in a back closet of the Senate chambers.

You have every right ti be a PUMA but you have very little influence. There are more than just that one poll in Connecticut that show Obama has a huge lead in Connecticut. I like Obama's strategy as far as going after states that have traditionally voted Republican. Why should he give up any states? Go after them all. If Obama asks for the vote in some of the red states, maybe he can win some of them. YES HE CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great–now if we could just get the good people of Connecticut to dump the vile Lie-berman next time……

Not that I am a follower of polls because I have never been polled once but OBAMA will win in November and we as Americans will win in 2008!!!

You want to know who wins if McCain is president…McCain, McBush, McChenney, McRepublicans

Obama is for us all…OBAMA 08!!!

Wow big surprise! Connecticut going Obama is pretty much expected.

Republicans and so called PUMA “Democrats.” Will be delivered a big upset when he sweeps Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida, Iowa, North Carolina, Georgia, and North Dakota

GOBAMA 2008!!!!

Lieberman is a real go getter who has worked hard for his state, but his loyalties are questionable. The Interest of Israel and The U.S may be aligned, but are not the identical. Israel would like to have the US fight its battles, even when America’s best interest is clearly not being served. And Lieberman’s support for the war Iraq war and the pro-war candidate McCain makes me question his loyalties to the United States verses his loyalties to Israel.

Wow.

McCon and Bush sharing the same campaign teams. NOOOOO. How can that be? McCon says he is not like Bush. But they share policies, resources, and strategies. America is in it's worst condition in my lifetime thanks to this HORRIBLE administration. People have to choose between gas or food. We are in debt to China more than we can handle. We are in two wars, one of which has been forgotten about but is more important and our soldiers are dying at record numbers there. We can't take care of our own disasters here at home because the "surge" has been sent to Iraq along with the needed equipment we need here at home. The economy is in shambles but the wealthy are wealthier than they ever have been. And you want to vote for someone who will continue down the same road? Please explain.

Is this surprising? This state always goes blue. If Mickey Mouse was on the ballot and democrat was next to his name, they would vote for him. The whole state is a bunch of rich, white, far-left, latte drinking liberals…

I wish us hard working, moderate democrats who are really struggling, would have had our voices heard.

I guess we will be heard in Nov.

PUMA'S

Yeah, go CT! Set the example.

Thanks Connecticut, see you on election day.

Obama 08

No one has calledme or my family either, Mollyof2. I am going to vote
for Senator Obama. Oh well. But, why are the media not looking at McCain more thoroughly and acutely than SenatorObama? Obama cannot make a move without the media commenting on and discussing what his each word and movement could mean politically.
I admire Senator McCain certainly. But you are treating him specially,
differently, it seems, because you are afraid to be criticized for saying
something slightly negative. You must realize that Senator in more than a war hero and a good man. Someone better start revealing the
OTHER parts of the man, and those might be criticized also.

Why would this suprise any one????
Lieberman turned his back on the Democratic People in 06. Sounds like he should plan on retirement in 12. Don't think the people of Conn will be fooled twice.

Give it up Liberman

End of career for Lieberman ? I hope and pray so.

Wake up and smell the coffee.

America is Obama country. We will crush the fascist republican machine into the ground with our latte soaked hemp sandals.

Could we possibly play with this map like you let us play with the primary maps? I've got some projections of my own i'd like to see on the map.

OOh, Generation X. We are afraid. About as afraid when Carter, Dukakis, Mondale, and Kerry had similar leads. Who won those campaigns? I think it was, to use the graphic style of mindless Obama supporters, REPUBLICANS! But perhaps you suffer from historical amnesia.

Not only CT, but also the rest of the country! Go Obama!

y do people claim Obama is a racist? He's half black and half white…who is he racist against? U gotta be kidding me if u say he's racist against whites, such as his mother.

Is it open season on PUMA's yet? Time to thin the herd.
Hey Chuck, Hillary lost…man up and Get Over It!

Shocking! Connecticut is going Democrat?

This is going to be a land side

You hear that sound? It's the Obama tsunami and it's coming to America in November.

GO OBAMA!! mcsame is probably under his bed crying

@Gen X: we are afraid, trust me. Your guy will win and, well, you'll find out in about two years what that will mean. But you'll blame the past president for your guys incompetence (usual dimocrat procedure). Hint: once you guy is responsible, he is responsible. Blaming history is abrogating responsibility. If you can't accept responsibility, don't seek it. (You will be hearing this a lot over the next four years. Get used to it!)

Of course Obama is leading in these toss up states. It's just not Bush people, after all, Bush couldn't have done what he did without his Republicans out-voting the Democrat's efforts to block Bush's agenda!

McCain carries the same failed goals and policies as Bush does…enough already!

Most Of The Country Is Obama Country!

Joe "Remora" Liberman has attached himself to the wrong shark.

I hate these polls. I hope nobody lets their guard down between now and November because you know that is what the Republicans are waiting for. Keep pressing, regardless, Barack.

It is great to see Connecticut actually get some coverage besides just about Joe Lieberman bashing Obama. Lieberman DEFINITELY does not speak for the state as a whole and he lost my vote if he ever considers re-election.

Obama '08

No surprise……very intelligent people live in Connecticut. I've always been impressed by them.

DEMOCRATS UNITE!!!

Hey Franky

16% of the 100 or so republican voters in Conneticut only adds up to 16 votes.

Conneticut has voted for a liberal for everyone except President Ronald Reagan.

People get ready, a train is coming!
You don't need no baggage, you just come along!

Obama/ Biden 2008-2016 Choo! Choo!

dose anyone remember the last time that state voted republican. Why is it news that Obama is leading a state that you have marked a safe state for Obama.

Chuck wasn't this the same university / poll that your kind was touting when you crying about her being more electable?

Pathetic
Uneducated
Math-deficient
Airhead

Unfortunately Joe Lieberman is a disgrace, he is showing his real character by attacking Sen. Obama falsely for political reasons just to help his flip flopper friend Sen. McCain. By the time this election race is over he would have destroyed his political career that he will never have a chance anywhere to come back to ever!
Evils that men do lives after them and will come back to hunt them! Joe Lieberman and Sen. McCain you can waist your energy, time and money but you are not going to fool voters this time because they all know what you are up to and they will pay you back big time come November!

Whats this?!
Connecticut leaning toward BLUE for the umpteenth time?
Stunning!

I don't recall having to go thru CT to win the GE. Why is this even news? Next they'll be telling us he is up by 20 in Hawaii. Big deal!
PUMA - remeber obama, you were selected, not ELECTED.

I respect Sen Lieberman. He votes for what he thinks is best for USA, not for the party. Democrats don't like that.

and then many other states will follow.

I'm curious to know why the school is being labeled as a far left university? Because its located in New England? I haven't seemed to find anything to support that declaration…and I'm genuinely curious.

There is a story that Obama's campaign staff lied about receivving special consideration for his mortgage loan. Does CNN know anything about this story? And if you do, would you please let your listeners/readers know about this?

Could'nt happen to a more deserving guy…the down-spiralling of lieberman in hishome state. I've always wondred why the media and others don't point out how obvious it is that a Jewish Congressman, who otherwise was a good democrat, would elevate his interest in Israeli issues to such a high degree, that he would become totally estranged from his historical political allys, and promote the presidency of a republican.

I hope it puts Lieberman out of a job. He's a strong supporter of fear-mongering mcshame, and that's a no no.

Maybe Connecticut will wise up after this election season.

Speak for yourself Stephy — I voted for Ned Lamont in the primary and the general. It was the Republicans who dragged Lieberman across the finish line, not Democrats. Once again, Republicans owe the country an apology.

Is Lieberman one of McCain's unforced errors?

A lot of those yellow state should be light blue but CNN doesn't want to show a blow out yet.

The average American is sick of being forgotten in the politics of the GOP. After 8 years of failed war policies, economic recession, and rising cost of fuel and food, voters are once again paying attention to the issues that concern America. The usual GOP tricks of mudslinging and lies (Swiftboat, anyone?) will not work this year. Sorry GOP, your time has come.

-J
Obama '08

someone should tell Sen Joe. that his state may have a terrror message of their own And why is McCain campagning outside the US noone put him in charge yet?

The whole nation is Obama country. Republicans, take your ruined economy and your foolish war and leave.

OOps !!!! McHardOfHearing needs LIEberman to give him the answers to the questions. Doesn't matter what the questions are.

Wonder if the two went to Columbia together? Can give away twice as many US jobs if they did.

Good. Even though the true poll is Nov 4, I want to see McCain sweat. Now if the MSM would do its job by reportin on McCain's backer's firms ties to U.S. designated Colombian terrorists, I might smile more. No wonder he's down there now.

Obama 2008/2012! Sebilius 2016!

When you buy bad food off the shelf, you don't reward the company that made the food with a repeat purchase. The Republican Party has messed the country up. Its time for Democrats 'to take over and return the economy to the prosperous state it was when Bill Clinton was president.

Obama/Hillary 08!

Wasn't Connecticut John Kerry country too!?

What about Georgia??

Soon you will be painting most of the map BLUE

McWar is losing ground everyday.. (I heard he's staying in Columbia)

There won't be enough of him left for the vulchers to pick.

Looks like "change" is on its way to the citizens of Connecticut. You enjoyem!

He went from Dem VP to supporting a Republican because of the war in Iraq for Israel. The only countires to benefit from our invasion of Iraq: Iran and Israel. Now he wants us to go after Iran so we can scrafice more US troop for non-existent WMD threats.

Lieberman should do all of us and CT a favor by changing his party affiliation to Repub where he belongs! And then, watch his lose!

Is anyone really surprised by this news? If the poll had shown Obama having a 20 point lead in Texas then it would be surprising. A 20 point lead in state that historically votes democrat? Big deal.

And to the genius above who is proclaiming a 16 percent lead among republicans in CT…try reading. Obama is getting support from 16 percent of republicans polled….quite a difference.

Between their former CROOK Governor and Lieberman the TRADER, I have lost a great deal of respect for Connecticut.

I didn't like Lieberman in 2000 and I despise him now. I have zero respect for this man who turns his back on the party which would have put him in the White House. He was Gore's biggest mistake.

Regardless …. this will be his last term in office.

Conneticuit is always democrat country….except for Mondale/Ferraro and McGovern/Shriver

To all the Obama supporters….be careful what you wish for…. This man cannot 'walk on water' even though he has you believing it.

Way to go Obama "Yes We Can" and we will win .
Those so called writers saying they were "Hillary supporters " are not, never were ,never will be and are Republicans trying to stir the pot .
What you should do is stir your own Reputedcan pot .
McBush is a has been whos never had it never has and never will be.
McBush and Turtle neck should go fly their plane and get lost.

BYE BYE REPUBLICANS!!!! HAHAHAHA!!!!!!

Welcome aboard CT! BARACK THE VOTE!!!!

McCain Backer's Firm Pleaded Guilty To Funding Terrorist Group in Colombia. ===================================

McCain's backer? $25,000/per person FUNDRAISER CARL H. LINDER JR.

CHECK IT OUT ON HUFF-POST!

Obama knows what he's doing and why he want to be President, that is why he is running the most wonderful and best campaign in recent time, a sign of how America will be wonderfully lead by him.

Yes we can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama 08

I'm sick and tired of reading all of this banter from Obama supporters who say they don't understand why us PUMAs are not voting for Obama - and plan on either writing Hillary in or voting for McCain. It isn't about Obama - its about taking back our party. There was injustice done by the DNC. You do not strip the votes of Millions of Americans and then expect us to jump on the broken band wagon. Our votes, however we choose to make them are in protest to THE DNC; not Obama. Sure, many of us feel he isnt qualified - but it's not about that anymore. It's about preserving the most precious right we have - our vote (and not 50% of it).

Directed to Clinton/McCain: How is Pennsylvannia McCain country? Please do tell. Polls tell otherwise and your governor is a Democrat. !?!!?!

Will all the Republicans that are pretending to be "Hillary Supporters" give it a big rest! Nobody is paying attention!

Nobody who actually was supporting Hillary Clinton would EVER vote for John McCain!

We're in tune with reality here in Connecticut.

Obama is the best choice for the nation and the world.

It seems there are some real people living in Connecticut But not until there send joe home where he belongs they will not earn my respect!!!!!!!!

Someone shut Lie.berman's mic OFF!!!

Looks like CT is realizing its mistake in re-electing Lieberman. It'll be nice to see him lose next time out.

Nice to see that all the Operation Chaos folks posing as "Hillary supporters for McCain" haven't given up yet. Say hi to Rush for me, y'all!

Correction: USA is Obama Country!
Obama '08

Good for the people of CT! Hoping everybody comes around and knows what we need for this country of ours. Obama 08/12

Franky,
That quote does not indicate he has a 16 point lead amongst Republicans; rather, it indicates that 16 percent of Republicans said they'd vote for him against McCain. Meaning more than four out of every five Republicans would not vote for Obama. Nevertheless, 16 percent seems like a healthy number.

By contrast, your analysis of the statistic about independents is correct.

Marc

Not surprising - since Ned Lamont was micro inches away from taking Lieberman's gig from him. Lieberman may as well come right out and announce that he is a Republican. He is NOT a democrat. It is so hard to believe that he was on a ticket with Al Gore.

Lieberman's defect is . . . he puts Israeli interests before American interests. Lieberman doesn't care if U.S. wastes lives and money in Iraq . . . so long as it makes Israel happy.

…….. So IS… MONTANA…!!!

Montana is OBAMA Country.. I've been say'n that for months now..

Yes… >WE< …Can…. !!!

Connecticut is one of many that will be turning blue before November.

"I smell……victory" gObama!

Well I don't know where you are polling maybe the North End of Hartford but the Eastern half of the state isn't Obamaland thats for sure. CT is loaded with colleges to so that might figure into who and where they polled. Lets see if all the college kids come out in Nov. to vote.

Hey republicans, is your favorite word flip flop? It worked in 2004 so you think you can bring it back and use it again in 08? I don't think so, Sen. Obama is no John Kerry, and the voters will see through your low blow attacks. The only things you guys keep complaining about is a flag pin, a fake muslim rumor, and his wife. GET OVER IT! You are just worried because you aren't enthusiastic about your own candidate like we are about Obama. People constantly ask what his positions are without even taking the time to go to his website and read them. Pull your heads out people and have some common sense.

Obama 08′ 12′

Is there a politician in Connecticut that can unseat Liebermann??? i am so sick of hearing and seeing him. What has he done for Conecticut lately??

LOL at all the Obama fans who treat him like a rock star.

No credentials, no message, no love for his country….sure lets elect him.

LOL crazy liberals!

If Connecticut had the power to recall the arrogant, self absorbed
Lieber-me he would not longer be in the Senate. Connecticut residents realize now that they made a terrible mistake in voting for him during the general election.

Can anyone say TWOFER!!!

Beating McNuts and Joe (I like McNuts) Lieberman

WHAT A DAY!!!!

Do you think the Republicans are starting to feel like the"we never cheated"New England Patriots?

You know… by November this will be the common theme in every state!! McCain is gonna suffer one of the worst LANDSLIDE elections in our nation's history.

Maybe Charlie Black can save the election for him by arranging a 'fresh terrorist attack' on our nation. I'm sure by now Osama heard the comment and is frothing at the mouth for another shot at one of our nation's skyscrapers… way to go, Republicans! Why don't you throw ANOTHER log of fear on the fire!!

I am much entertained by Obamanite comments above. Who gives a rat's … that Connecticut supports Obama rather than McCain.

Liberals supporting liberals, no surprise here.

Wonder what excuse the Obamanites will use when their guy is President and "Hope and Change" aren't quite what they hoped for. I guess they can always fall back on the guy that was president prior.

now i know why i moved out of ct

Sounds Good, now all we have to do is strip Turncoat Lieberman of his Chairmanship in Jan. and tell him to join his true party; the REPUKES.

WOW! Imagine if Joe-Blow LIEberman stayed on the DEMS side…

Obama/Powell 2008 & 2012

Your map continues to be slightly tilted toward McCain, compared to the actual poll data, with one major exception. No one, not 538 (D), Rasmusen (basically R), RCP (R), thinks that NM leans R. If you have a broad toss-up category, fine. If you want to ignore the poll data and put IN as leans R rather than toss-up, or even IA as toss-up rather than leans D that's ok, you could make arguments for it. But to have NM switch from polling D all the way past your broad toss-up group to leans R is just nuts. What is your justification? What is your motive?

OBAMA ALL THE WAY - JOIN THE MOVEMENT OR FALL OFF A CLIFF!!!!!!

YES WE CAN!!!!!

Lieberman sure has gone through a transformation. I think he is GREATLY affected by the Middle East, and his attraction toward blind defense against all things Muslim are beginning to seriously hinder his ability to do his job as a Senator and to make a positive political impact for any party.

I wasn't a huge fan of his when he was a Dem Veep candidate, conversely I didn't have anything against him either. It seems as though the war in Iraq will be his defining issue.

And look how that's working out for George Bush.

Joe Liebermann can hang out with McNugget all he wants, it won't change a thing in Connecticut.

I can't believe I voted for that Loserman 8 years ago.

Woohoo! It's awesome to see so many Americans rallying around Obama. This guy is all about change. He's totally going to change the way politics run….and destroy this country in a totally different way.

To think that when Liberman was running low in the polls aganst his democratic oponent he asked for Obamas endorsment, and Obama step up now he has become McCain attack dog and turning his back on the people of Conn. This seesm to be the nature of all McCain flipflopping spin creating buddies, the women who serve up the spin on the nightly media circut remind me of the stefford women lost in some hypnotic trance. Glazing out at the camara repeating the same barage of McCain trash. and Liberman the leader and trader of the cult. When the good people of Connecticut goes to the polls hopefully both independents and democracts give Liberman his walking papers

Only fools are supporting McSame an his policies, if he has any. Nobody knows what he stands for with his flip-flops.

Americans and the world are waiting for real changes which only
Obamna is able to deliver.

Obama 08

The far left rasmussen has the race at Obama 52, McCain 35. So yeah, not just a "far left university"

God Bless America… in 2008 I did not think that America was ready for a President of color but gosh darn it the polls state differently … the reason I love my country so much is that Americans love our Country more then any under tone bias we may have…. and the polls are showing that. The scare tactics is not working any more, can not threaten us with our safety … Can't make Michelle Obama into some monster… we love Michelle…. all the dirty good old boy politics are going to the wayside it is a new time, a new era and it is detrimental to our Country that Americans change from the old way of thinking… we need to take care of home … and deal with the domestic issues… heck we was first to go to the moon we can be first to discover viable alternative energies that we can market to the world and employee our hard working Americans… we can fix the infrastructure of our country and prepare for natural disasters that for sure will come… we can ensure anyone who needs to see a doctor can… there is so much we can do in our own country before we venture out and try to fix other countries and fight in a war to no avail … bring our children, fathers and mothers home…. no more! The light bulb is on and just common American folks - the back bone of this Country see the light!

Obama 08

I have lost alot of sleep worrying about who would carry the state of Conneticut as if a lead in the polls in that state signifies anything.

Yes it is true. There are alot of Republicans who plan to vote for Barack Obama. However the media don't want to talk about.

Obama '08

CNN) – John McCain has the backing of Connecticut's Democratic-turned-Independent Sen. Joe Lieberman, but a new poll out Wednesday shows the state is decidedly Obama country…………………
BLIND leading the BLIND………McCain switching his Staff around and depending on Lieberman and he didn't get rid of BLACK

If you look at the red / blue state map all of the North East liberals and West Coast liberals (or socialists) are for Obama. The Heartland of America is for McCain.

If Obams is elected I hope all of us that work for a living enjoy paying more taxes so those on welfare have no incentive to get a job. We who work will have to support those who receive life long welfare "benefits" along with supporting our own families.

Tax rebates for those who don't even pay taxes — what a joke.

Finito!!!!!! MSame is finished!!!

Peter: I hope that Oregon does in fact turn out to be Obama Country too. Portland did great!!!!! Lots of rural areas though that promoted sundowner communities. Pray that is behind us! Let's keep working hard!

Good news about Connecticut, but not unexpected.

Hee, hee, hee. LOVE IT!

Go Obama !

The people from Connecticut have a chance to redeem themselves after voting for Lieberman.

hope OB can pull it out in nov……………god help if the repubs and their draconian way of governing should win again

I can't wait for Obama to win, Repugnatcans will also loose heavily in both houses, maneing Kermit the Frog Liberman will so marginalized his career will be over.

And not a day too soon! Joe will of course end up at some lobby firm tryhing to screw Americans

OBAMA IS A JOKE LIKE HIS HATING FOLLOWERS.

Don't release these polls favoring Obama to quickly, it might take some of the momentum off the campaign. We need something to keep us interested in the race.
