But it won't happen unless he quits the notorious "flip-flopping" he's been doing lately. I am not in favor of calling the instances flip-flops when a candidate changes his mind when there are legitimate reasons. This is true of the offshore drilling on McCain's part. It's right that he's now in favor of it, opposed to his stand against it in the past. We need that extra oil in our own coffers, be it next year or within the next 10. With Obama coming out today and saying in essence that he'll be taking a new look at the Iraq and meet with the Generals, and then announce his plan of withdrawals. Well, that's a true flip-flop, and he'd better watch it in the future. We all listened to so many debates during the primary, and we heard how each of the candidates would handle the situation in Iraq to the point of almost being sick. How well we recall that Hillary always said she would handle the withdrawals responsibly -- that being the keyword. But Senator Obama was always emphatic about beginning to withdraw on the first day of his presidency. This will be one of the things he's going to have to talk about in the future.

The Democratic party should think very hard before just handing the party over to him at the convention. I'm a life long Democrat not voting for him and many others are becoming dissatisfied with him. The man came out from nowhere, couldn't bother with working at his job in the senate and then decided to run for President. He doesn't even know what he doesn't know because he's too inexperienced and ignorant. He pretty much was put up for the senate by Chicago pols and it is the same with the presidency. Rather than being a human, he is more like David Axelrod's Frankenstein. God knows who's writing the speeches, if his earpiece falls out, he can't even string sentences together. I don't approve of Mc Cain's policies, but I do know he is a human who takes work seriously and tries hard. He has a temper (Obama is known to have one too.) but is pretty independent of thought when it comes right down to it. Even the fact that the Republicans decided to let him in on the Columbia hostage crisis says something. He'll earn respect with Latino voters visiting their homelands and supporting free trade. We need these countries and the connection people here have with them are important. I do think that Mc Cain is acceptable for the Republicans but Obama for the Democrats?

You say Obama's lead is within the margin of error. You say it is to early that Obama's lead does not perdict anything. Well, dream as you wish to make the race sound close and so you can generate hype. But the fact that Obama consitently leads every poll whether within the margin of error or not is not a good not to McCain. You keep on tealling people that the race is to close.

The poll is not to select a winner in November, or anything else, other than to show a TREND in the nation's choice of candidate's preference from one timeframe to another. In these cases, there is a rising TREND that Americans favor Obama over McCain by 6%. This TREND is subject to changes from one timeframe to another, either up or down, for either candidate. However, overtime, and that time from now until November, it will show the TREND of the voter's choices both positive and negative. Does anyone out there see a theme here???

He has changed his stance when he promised: an end to the war, — gay marriage — taking money from special interests — single payer universal health care — public financing — FISA –and illegal immigration, just to name a few. I'm sure the list will grow as he tries to bring more independents over to his side, typical politician, exactly what is the change he is referring to in his speeches? Please America pay attention to this CONMAN and PLEEESE look at his non-non partisan record…… These polls seem to flip flop as much as he does it seems we cannot believe the polls or Obama.

Or something to that effect, like they alone reflect the view of the country.....DUH. On a related note, this is why I believe Obama will win, not by too much, but will win. Mccain Has a problem with his base, conservatives. He is only doing well with independants who usually swing republican anyway. Bob Barr is far more conservative and is relevant enough to take that base from Mccain. Obama on the other hand is very popular with the majority of his party and is gaining in popularity. Nadar ruined the election for dems in 2000; and got far less votes in '04. He's a negative figure for dems now and won't take much from Obama. If you figure all that in, it favors Obama in November, we'll see how it goes.
