CNN

Obama is more like Bush than McCain is. Mr. Nobama or your majesty doesn't care if gas prices go up he just doesn't think they should have gone up so fast. He was against FISA and now he voted for it. The DNC will pay dearly for installing Obama. Clinton would have won by a landslide. Vote McCain the DNC is a sham and deserves to lose. Did anyone notice Obama is not making any comments? He has probably been told not to say anything until his speechwriter tells him what to say. Every time Obama speaks own his own he loses votes. He avoids debates because he doesn't know anything. McCain will make him look like the no nothing he is.

Arlene, PA is a supporter of Obama. She wrote, "Listen to McCain, do you really think he would make a good comander and chief." You know Arlene, Obama sure will make one helluva "comander and chief." Yeah, he is a "chief" all right. He not only thinks he is a "chief", he truly believes he is a savior of our nation, a god. Give me your break!

To all you Repuglicans that keep insisting that Obama doesn't have enough experience to be POTUS... funny, you voted for Dubya not once but TWICE!!! Not only did he OBVIOUSLY

McCain Aide Linked to Lobbyist Accused of Selling Access for Bush Library Donations

WASHINGTON — A top foreign policy adviser to John McCain has lobbied the National Security Council, Congress and the State Department on behalf of Stephen Payne, the Texas businessman and longtime Republican fundraiser caught up in a controversy over whether he sought to sell access to the Bush White House.

According to records on file with Congress, McCain foreign policy adviser Randy Scheunemann lobbied the Senate and House on behalf of Payne’s firm, Worldwide Strategic Partners Inc., in 2002.

Scheunemann also lobbied the National Security Council and the State Department regarding energy issues in the Caspian region in 2005 and 2006 on behalf of another Payne firm, Caspian Alliance Inc., according to the records.

The McCain campaign said Scheunemann did not lobby on any specific legislation on behalf of either company, said McCain campaign spokesman Brian Rogers. The fees to Scheunemann’s firm amounted to $50,000.

On Monday, McCain’s campaign said that from 2002 to 2006, Scheunemann periodically engaged in consulting relationships with the two companies and that Scheunemann was never on the payroll of either firm, but that he was an occasional outside expert consultant.

In regard to Caspian Alliance, Scheunemann arranged several informational meetings for Payne with Department of State and NSC officials following Caspian energy issues, said Rogers.

Scheunemann did not lobby McCain on Caspian energy issues or any other issue related to Payne, the McCain campaign spokesman added.

On July 13, the Sunday Times of London published an article and released a videotape in which Payne suggested to a politician from Kazakhstan that Payne could help arrange meetings with top Bush administration officials.

Enough, Clinton supporters! Are you Democrats or what? Do you think that the so-called 18 million votes could have sent her to the WH? Get real, folks; if you have nothing to say, don't say it. I'm getting tired of your continuous whining!

puma,

The Media loves Obama because John McCain is an older version of Michael Dukakis. McCain is so incoherent you can't understand a word he is saying. His body language, his speech, his tone is symbolizing that McCain doesn't have a clue. He's making the mistake HRC did by waiting for Obama to slip up and make a mistake instead of being on the attack. And even when McCain is on the attack, he's flip flopped so much all in the name of the Presidency that people see right through him including his campaign being run by these same lobbyist he once despised. There's no straight talk, he's speaking jibberish. He's the old grandfather that you hate having sequester you into a conversation because he'll talk your head off for hours and you can't understand what he's saying or where he's going with the conversation and and hour later he'll forget everything he told you.

Bob In Newport, If Barack Obama was looked at as a totally white candidate instead of the black candidate or the Muslim candidate as so many ignorant people continue to think he is, this race wouldn't even be a discussion. Race has played a major factor in why Obama is only up by 7 or 8 percentage points right now.

New Hampshire is lame and right wing.

Maine will pull solidly for Barack Obama.

TONY – You make my heart proud. First as an American Indian I take my hat off to you. I also am poud for being an English-American. YOU-Second for being a man of intelligence. MYSELF-I have been a Democrat for 51 years. But I can not support this party any longer. The ignorant ones want to call people like you and me a racist because we may say something negative about their PROM KING. They are the ones who are racist. BECAUSE IT IS OBVIOUS THEY HAVE NOT CONSIDERED THIS MAN'S CREDENTIALS FOR BEING PRESIDENT. Is he qualified? NO. Does he have military experience? NO. Does he have executive experience? NO. DOES HE KNOW HOW TO PULL OFF A LAND SWINDLE WITH REZKO FOR $860,000 PROFIT? YES. IS HE ANTI-CHRISTIAN? YES. IS HE A TERRORIST SUPPORTER? YES. WILL HE GO DOWN IN DEFEAT COME NOVEMBER? HELL YES!!!

Barak Hussein Obama.

No experience that is the big problem not his name Hussein.

McCain, war hero, the real deal...

Why in the world did CNN let Beck fill in for Larry King???????? He should not put his opinion in this show when he has his own show for that. Beck has got to be ths bigges idiot on TV. He does not even make sense.

Who knows what the average IQ is of all these hate-spewing Obama haters?

POTUS? HOPE YOU HAVE A VERY SHORT MEMORY, I SMELL AN OBAMA LANDSLIDE, WITH MCSAME UNDER THE OBAMA WAVE. OBAMA 08

McCain wishes he was 3% behind. Barr is taking the much needed Republican votes in this state. The Independents strongly favor Obama over McCain. Obama will win NH in November easy.

Another indicator if the General Election is between McCain and Obama, McCain will win decisively.

The Democrats has the best candidate with Hillary R. Clinton but the DNC decided that they should select a leader instead of having the citizens elect the Democratic leader, and because of that fatal mistake they will not win the G.E, unless come the Denver Convention they place in NOMINATION H. R. Clinton's name on the FIRST ROLL CALL, then and only then will the Democrats win the G.E.

PumaPac invites all democrats who have been disenfranchised to come and join us to make sure H.R. Clinton's name is place IN NOMINATION AT THE DENVER CONVENTION!!!

Obama and McCain are basically tied in today's Rasmussen daily poll, with Obama at 42% and McCain at 41%.

That tight a race, even after the MSM has been pampering and pimping Obama since day one and now continues to do so during his oveaseas visits where he is trying to develop foreign policy credentials in a week or so......while basically sidelining McCain as if he were a forlorn Charlie Brown that no one pays attention to.

DNC and MSM.....shame on you!

Was for Hillary, now for McCain!

PUMA!

I think CNN prefers to refer to him as Barack Obama, not those other nicknames that Right Wing Media is using to make him look out of touch.

Obama's net worth is $1 million.
McCain's net worth is $40 million.

And the elitist is who? McKnow it all when he really doesn't remember what he had for breakfast. Oh, and didn't McFlipFlop say there is a problem in the border between Iraq and Afghanistan?
There is no border between Iraq and Afghanistan.

And who ARE these PUMA nuts?

Oh, I forgot to mention. The writer from Nashua, NH, should read a little history. Ever hear of a president called ABRAHAM LINCOLN? His Washington experience wasn't so long either. But then we know how HE turned out. Ugh. Go back to school!

We've got plenty of time to increase the Obama lead in the polls. No sense trying to hurry it. We want people to understand the issues and what both sides are representing.

The only reason McCain is this close is because of obvious bigotry. After 8 years of Bush people would think it was inconceivable for a Repub. to win. Only 9% of Republicans are excited about McCain. They dont care about him, they are just voting AGAINST Obama, because he is Black......I thought it was 2008. smh

Obama '08. Iraq agrees with us.

As a moderator of our official PUMA blog and an unmoving / dedicated PUMA member I will say this to clarify our stance on this election; We do NOT officially endorse McCain and as a general consensus It's safe to say that many of us are not happy with either of our choices.

We look for a resolution that best fits our needs as American voters and we will be looking forward to our voices being heard at the Democratic Conference. While we realize our chances are slim to none that our democratic demands will be met at this convention; we are in no way blind or bitterly seeking to destroy Obama as so many of you would LOVE to believe.

With that being said it is indeed safe to say that given the difficult choice between McCain and Obama, we would choose Obama. The lesser of two evils.

Any PUMA member whom seems far out of line from I said above is in all honesty probably NOT a member of our party or is a wild hair / maverick. Every group has it's extremists, even PUMA.

Of course Obama is ahead. It's going to be an electoral landslide. New Hampshire is just the start. Can't wait for Dixville Notch to cast all of its votes for the senator from Illinois.

Why do some Americans blame media for the victory of Obama? Obama has best innovations to lead Americans!

Do any of you Republican supporters understand that a main part of the Republican agenda is to prove that government does not work, therefore they have a vested interest in making government as inefficient and unproductive for Americans as possible. So my question is, knowing they have to destroy a functioning government to achieve their goals, why would anyone elect them to govern!?

This isn't good news for Obama. Cambell Brown's show was unwatchable tonight. Obama this Obama that we turned to Fox news.

Actually, I wish that people would forget about the polls, they really are not that acurate. Who are they polling, names on a list and where does that list come from. And really, don't you think the politicians can make it swing one way or the other. As far as who is going to be the next president, does it really matter. The war will still be going on on both fronts and its just a matter of time before the public will be trained by the media to treat Obama like Bush "IF" he is elected. Isn't it sad no one else is running, like maybe Colin Powel with a VP like maybe Barbara Dole.

The media is not trying to get anyone elected! You want to know what numbers their trying to raise? Their ratings! Face it, Obama = Attention, McCain = Coma, that's just how it is and obviously it worked if you're all on CNN's site complaining about it! As for liberal media? Why don't you take a look at who owns the media outlets and then decide how liberal it is, like all the free rides McCain's gotten on all his screw ups.

Im confused why all you people use petty excuses to deny the fact that you dont want obama because you're racist. I'm not saying everyone, but some people who come up with the most ridiculous things on here just sound idiotic! I'm sure you all wont be saying all this when Obama wins presidency.

Bubba, the REAL Americans were the Native Americans. That's what's wrong with McCain supporters, Ignorant and delusional. Tony, amazing that an American Indian would even vote for a white man that speaks with fork tongue. HIspanics for MCCain, another joke, exactly when has McCain come to your neighborhood? Anybody of any color struggling in this economy voting for McCain are insane!

yeah, and hillary clinton was going to loose there too! it's not over until the fat lady sings... and i haven't heard a peep from michelle obama.......

M.S. Indiana–Keep drinking that watermelon flavored kool aide-

...

Odd that the Republicans are saying their is a media bias then all the nut jobs come on here and say the same thing.

Why can't Republicans discuses the issues? Not how they hate Obama.

Bias = Yes, CNN almost never post stories about McCain's mistakes, but they will run a story about Obama for weeks.

Where is the story about McCain's latest mess up with a map?

I keep reading about the media bias for Obama. I am just curious, if Obama has said "the borders of Iraq and Pakistan" how would the media have reacted. You guessed it, they would be replaying the loop over and over and over and McCain would have pounced on it like a cat on a rat. Yet McCain is the one who made the faux pas and guess what, hardly anyone is saying a thing about it.

Give me a break, McCain's daily slip ups, flip flops, gaffes and lies are being swept under the rug so much that the lumps are becoming impossible to ignore. Eventually, the rest of you will have to wake up and take a hard long look at your perfect candidate.

"This man is going to start a war in Iran if he is elected"
I would rather start a war with Iran than Pakistan. Lets remember that Obama favors covert and overt operations to oust terrorist cells in Pakistan. Lets also remember that Pakistan has nukes. Do the math.

I think most states will show similar divisions. There are your republican and democratic strongholds, but the battleground states are probably about 50-50. Obama can waste his time traveling abroad, but he needs to connect with these battleground states. These are the states he lost in the Democratic Primary and if does not find a way to connect to your average American factory worker he is up a certain creek without a paddle come November.

McCain goes around pretending to be a war hero? He sold out our country giving away all of our secrets when he was captured. Now he wants to be called a hero.
People wake up, why do you think George Bush beat him in 2000? Carl Rove did his home work.

McShame is no war hero.

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
PUMA,

no one is listening to you. If you didn't get memo she said Obama represents her views for the nation far more than McCain. Who told you people you speak for her. Most of you are no more than Republican trolls poll that should concern you is the RealClearPolitics poll of the Electoral College Map. Obama is leading in states with 322 votes to 216 for McCain. It takes 270 to win. Even if Obama didn't get a single nada in NH he would still lead by 318 to 220. Even if Obama did not get a single vote in WV,TN,NC,SC,GA,AL,FL,AR,TX,OK,KS, or MO. He would still be leading in the Electoral Map in states with 322 votes to McCain's 216. The fact is if you are Puma and you live in any of those states no matter what happens in your state Obama still wins the General election by a landslide.

McCain/Clinton 08/12, then Clinton/Obama 16/20

I thought this was McCain country? He uses his campaign money to spruce up his wife's beer business. McCain just want to be president so he and his wife can sell out America.

Mondale, Dukakis, Gore, and Kerry were all much farther ahead in the summer of their campaigns than Obama is now, yet they all ended up losing. That suggests that the media's wonder boy will go down in flames, after people figure out that you can't eliminate dependence on foreign oil by leaving your own oil underground, and there won't be billions of dollars to invest in alternate energy schemes if you instead confiscate it through higher income and capital gains taxes.

The only people in the world that don't like Obama are racist Americans. How's it feel to be in the minority yourself for a change?

PUMA,

CHANGE is a-comin'! Watch all 57 states turn blue in November!

As a democrat I would like to vote for a Democrat for President, really I would. As a resident of Illinois I know that Obama's claims of his leglistrative accomplishments are false.
Even now he has backtracked on trade.
Obama has gone against his previous statements and voted for Bush's Intelligence Bill, giving amnesty to the phone companies.
It's not that he is behaving as politicians do, but that he campaigned on the platform of bring change to the way business is conducted in Washington.
Whom Obama selects as his running mate will weight heavily in deciding if I vote for Obama.

The article mentions the 3% edge for Obama in the current poll and a 6% edge for McCain back in April, but it might also have mentioned the last two Rasmussen polls that showed Obama up by 5% in May (48-43) and by 12% (51-39) in mid-June. I think that a look at all recent polls makes NH look pretty good for Obama.

Media is a big part of society. If you can't form connections or know how to use the media as your ally, then you're basically screwed. McCain's campaign should have done a better job with the media. That's why I wished the Republicans picked Romney, who is 10x better than the old senile fart the Republicans are trotting out there.

As a New Englander, I find it hard to believe that anyone would vote for John McBush – McCain is going to follow the same policies of his party and lead us into greater depression!

Wake up America – we need a NEW direction in Washington and John McCain is NOT IT!

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Fred C. Dobbs, how dare you say anything negative about our
beloved Jack Cafferty. He is brillant and fair. Americans
respect and appreciate him. CNN has some of the best
journalists on cable!

Hello!! I can't believe that the educated people of New Hampshire would still vote for McCain in those numbers. CNN Please post this but I can't help but think that racial bias might be the reason. Please post this because I've read others that have bad spelling and bad grammar that have been posted.

Obama puppet July 21st, 2008 7:37 pm ET

"what Obama is capable of doing will soon be known.
He was sent to tour the world with the press, to gain some intellect.
What happens in America and to bitter Americans is always secondary to him. He doesnt care, so far as his race and color can bring him the presidency"

Haven't you already seen what he is capable of ? He will not win because of his race and color. Even if all 13% of african Americans vote for him, still he has to get the majority european American's blesing to win. On the otherhand, if he looses, that will be because of race and color.
DO NOT GO ON RACE BAITING LIKE YOUR BUDDIES, O'REILY, SEAN HANNITY, ANN COULTER, AND RUSH.

Obama still needs to earn it for the folks in New Hampshire. they have always been this way. If you look at McCains track record it won't be hard to see them going blue.

we still have a way to go before November.

McCaine will have plenty of time to insert foot to mouth.

Just an aside. CNN why would anyone in their right mind put on Glen Beck to replace Larry King. As soon as I saw him, I turned the TV off.

GO AHEAD AND VOTE FOR MCCAIN. BUT ASK YOURSELF THIS:

ARE YOU BETTER OFF TODAY THAN YOU WERE 8 YEARS AGO?

NO? WELL, THEN ITS TIME FOR A CHANGE!

First CNN do a real poll, second Dems get a real candidate with real stances on the issues not a paper doll.

I Know How To Win WARS McCain!
The 10 Billion Dollars A Month Man.
The Oil Isn't Ours To Claim McCain.

He a Warmonger period.
That's All He Knows, Listen To Him!
Just Because He Some Old White Man, Doesn't Mean Anything
He Doesn't Even Know Our Military History!

Obama is going to win in a landslide. Americans are not dumb. They know that someone like Barack comes around rarely. He is more qualified, smarter by leaps and bounds, and, as we will see in a few days, loved by the world. He is the bright and shining light on the hill.

McCain, he is......mmmm....he is.....well.......er.....let's see.....mmmmm.......McBush????

I feel like I'm living in Nazi Germany or the USSR – I don't believe anything coming from the media who have no journalistic integrity. Who cares about this poll – it's July – I don't want to be force fed any more of this BS. Get real CNN!

"July 21st, 2008 5:30 pm ET

LIBERAL bring USA flush to thoilet ANYTHING goes bed with perverted and criminal"

Another of Mccain's surrogates I suspect. Anyone who thinks that Obama is getting a free ride is living in a fantasy world, Obama is smart and is fit to be president, unlike Mccain, who is only there because of his seniority. How can they be tied in New Hampshire? Only 25% of America approves of the job George Bush (the failure) is doing. Anyone who votes for a 75 year old president doesn't think ahead, what is wrong with some of you people? Have you even been paying attention to Mccain? He doesn't have a stance on ANY issue. HE is the "flip-flopper" if anyone, my god, do some research Mccaniacs.

McCain's rejected New York Times op-ed pieceNext Article in Politics.

I Don't Blame The NY Times For Rejecting This.
Was This Written By A 5th Grader? Very Weak and Not Very Presidential.
McCain or Someone In His Staff, Need To Take A 101 College Writing Course.

IS IT FAIR FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES NOT TO PUBLISH
SENATOR MCCAINS OP-ED ARTICLE AS THEY PUBLISHE SENATOR OBAMA'S? DOES A NEWSPAPER HAVE THE RIGHT
TO CHOOSE THE STRICTLY EDIT, DICTATE TONE, CONTENT & SUBJECT OF CNEAOTR MCCAIN' S ARTICLE?

There is no way egomaniac Barack can win this election. The polls would be SO MUCH in favor of Hillary by now......but noooooooo, Dean, Pelosi and Brazile just had to have it their way. Oh well, will have to wait another 4 years to get a Dem in the White House.

I will take a candidate any day of the week that is intelligent, informed, and willing to be part of the rest of the world, as opposed to what we've been living with since 2000. Looks like a vote for McCain is more of the same. Just about ready to apply a Grade Point Average to the office of the presidency.

Proud to be an Elitist!
Obama 08'

I'd like more than "change" in my pocket; how about a few bucks. Cut taxes – vote McCain 2008. Obama can keep his change.

Dr. Mimi De La Cruz – Haven't you realized yet that the price of gas is so high because of the democrats' refusal to do anything to lower it. Don't you know they hold the majority in congress? Wake up!

519 sample? Good lord, you might as well stand on a street corner and poll!

E for Obama – It is so close because more and more people are realizing how inexperienced and liberal Obama is and how dangerous he would be as president. McCain 2008!!!!!!!!!!!

Texas trail puppy – I f Obama wins, you are right; change will be all America has, perhaps less than change. VOTE FOR AN EXPERIENCE PROVEN PATRIOT WHO WON'T RUN FROM TERRORISTS -
McCAIN 2008

puma from 6:52,
I simply say God bless you. You obviously are like a person who sees the devastation of crack or cocaine or heroine and yet says give me some more of that.
But, good luck to you.

Well, hopefully when the election in Nov comes, it will have Barack as the winner, most likely by a small margin, but a win is a win, doesn't matter if it's a small one. So we'll see. NH, hope most of you guys are for Obama.

Obama 08

All you so-called clueless PUMA people and those pretending to speak for Latino voters, please shut up. So sick of all of you and your whinning and crying. Those pretending to be latino voters are sick. You speak only as pretenders you are all no more latino that me. Stop spreading your lies in the name of others. Come out on your own, and be honest and let it be known who you really are. And PUMA people please get over yourselves. The Primaries are over.....PERIOD!

Obama, please come clean with your ties to Bill Ayers-The Murdering Weatherwoman.
In 1981 there were 2 Brinks Robberies in which your buddy Bill AYers' Weathermen Underground participated in.
Contrary to what you have said in the media, that would make you 20 years of age at the time my cousin was murdered by your pals Bill Ayers and Dorhn and Kathy Boudin, the getaway driver in both bungled Brinks Robberies, not 8 years old as you have said.
WHo knows maybe you were in on these robberies.
Being that you go to these Black liberation theology themed sermons, by the Paddy Basher, Mr Wrong-Wright, anything is possible.

The Black Liberation Army was allied with the Weathermen Underground so its quite possible that you have many other terrorist friends in both groups. SInce the BLA is still around maybe you still have pals in the group. This is not someone we want for President of America. And stop attacking Sean Hannity, He is just calling you out for what you are: A Phoney Baloney!! I suggest stepping down and letting Hillary lead.
I know i will not vote for you even though i backed Hillary. i'm a Mccain supporter now.

This election in my mind should be all about change and the present republican candidate cannot brinng this change. Obama in my mind have what it takes to carry our country forward to better things.

It is about time for us to have the Democrats back in office so our country can benefit from the amount of money that every American used to enjoy in their pockets. I will be voting democrat this time and many others like me will be doing the same. forward to victory in November with Obama.

This poll is a joke.

PUMA-Jessie, Please donate a dollar to Hillary she is in debt... you are the ones who destroyed her campaign, by being all talk and no walk...

Bob in Newport, if the American people loose so will you.. unless you are filthy rich...

This will be the 50 states America for Obama, oh hell yeah we can

Hey white people, don't worry Obama is not going to enslave us! Relax and take a chill pill. He is half white, we can vote for him. Afterall, he is better qualified, look up his senate record for the laws he has written.

It's hard to believe Americans wants the worse of two evils, McCain/Bush, back in the White House. It doesn't make any sense, no wonder the world laughs at our stupidity and expect no less. I refuse to be a part or support anything that represents Bush third term.

Bob in Newport, you're right on the money. I have been telling this for long. Even during the last primaries Hillary was beating Obama like hell. That exposed him as extremely weak. Like this one CNN will not publish my comments.

Why would anyone vote for McCain's failed policies. What has he accomplished in all his years in the Senate, not much. We don't need experience we need someone who is good in judgement to lead and make decisions and someone who is articulate. I am tired of these old guys who can't present themselves in a decent way in front of the world. McCain doesn't even know the difference between Sunni's and Shi'ite muslims, how is he gonna lead. Maybe he wants to bomb everyone.

CNN – Please update your electoral map. It has not been updated in weeks and it was wrong then. It is obvious you are promoting a closer race than polling indicates to keep up your ratings.

The closer we get to the election the tighter the race will become only if the Media stops peddling this Obama crap. Then again people in Hell want ice water.

At least CNN is doing a story on state polls, which are the only ones that matter in a presidential contest. National polls are completely irrelevant and shouldn't even be taken. This is 50 elections, not just one.

Good...

I don't believe in your polls.

American people are coming to their senses and seeing how little Obama really knows...And more American's are starting not to trust Obama because he hasn't keep a word he said he would do in the primaries.....I can't wait till Obama will finally take McCain on in a debate....Didn't Obama say anytime any where ?......But Obama went back on his word on that too didn't he.....

Barack Hussien Obama is a joke. People dont be fooled again

With all the help Obama is getting from the media, McCain's win in 2008 will be a bigger miracle than Bush 2004

Can you imagine that if the media was not so much in the tank for Obama , where he would be today in the polls. He is a serial flip flopper who will do or say amything for a vote, who Flipped on FISA, abortion. gun control, an undivided Jerusalam, church based institutions to deliver services to the poor, trade, the war and the social security tax. Rasmussen polls shows a media bias in favor of Obama . Why? You figure it out, no experience, imature, arrogant, has consorted with ciminals, radicals, preacher's that hate Amrerica, etc. Oh, he is a rock star, the first black America to reach this level in American politics. How did he get to this level, by the same media that helped him to try to destroy the Clinton campaign. Sad! Don"t let the media select your next President. PUMA has the answer, go mto their web site.

After eight years of Bush and going against a guy like McCain, Obama should be leading in all states by 20 percentage points. Just shows you how weak of a candidate he is. I'll laugh when the Dems manage to lose this one too.

Jim, Provo

Cnn prefers your majesty... Obama insists....THE MESSIAH ! get it right now ...

I'm confused-does CNN prefer we address Obama as your majesty or Messiah?

Obama puppet July 21st, 2008 7:37 pm ET

sick of the hate, here you go, this is not an Obama supporter

hispanics for mccain....rethinking immigration because of you, thanks

and i am not an Obama supporter, i just know that we can not afford a McCain administration.
NO MORE REPUBLICAN

ME THINKS THOU DOEST GIVE NEW HAMPSHIRE TOO MUCH IMPORTANCE...MICHIGAN,OHIO,PENNSYLVANIA,AND FLORIDA IS WHERE YOU SHOULD CONCENTRATE YOUR POLL STUDIES.

THE PRICE OF GAS IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH.

BY THE END OF CHANEY-BUSH TERM IN MOST PLACES

IN THIS COUNTRY IT WILL BE AROUND $6.50. FOLLOWED

BY AN INCREASE OF EVERYTHING FROM MILK TO EGGS.

AMERICANS JUST DON'T FULLY GET IT. BUT THEY

WILL. THEY ELECTED BUSH & SOME WANT SOME MORE

OF WHAT WE HAVE. BUT I DON'T THINK MOST CAN AFFORD

ANY MORE OF IT. WE CAN PROUD TO BE WHITE,

AFRICAN-AMERICAN, LATINO, ASIAN & ALL IN BETWEEN,

BUT NONE OF US ARE PROUD TO BE BROKE.

If McCain were leading in a poll by even 1%, my guess is that the MSM headline would be "McCain Leading Obama". But when Obama leads by a narrow margin, it's a "statistical tie".

Obama is the only one who can shake things up in Washington.
And it sure needs a good shaking!
It won't happen with Washington entrenched McCain.

All I see on these blogs is REVERSE HATE. As soon as everyone drops their hyphenate – Americanism we can move forward.

If you love and respect this county as I, an AMERICAN INDIAN does, you would just be AMERICANS – PERIOD. AND BE PROUD OF THE FREEDOMS YOU ENJOY.

Obama campaigning in other countries makes no sense to me; other than to show us that he can talk to other countries....sorry folks but WE have to elect a president.

If he is loved so much over there perhaps that is where he should stay.

Like I have said before, we are NOT voting for a high school prome king, we are voting for PRESIDENT.

John Mc................. another Bush.
Go Obama 2008....................
We need some change....................
Everyone is after Obama... Uncle John can say anything,
do anything. ...... No problem. He has experience..
But Obama can't yarn... Obama Can't smile... Obama can't taste
All is because he has no experience.... Give him a break.

OBAMA 08 Go Obama...

John McCain just announced he will be going on a world tour and plans to visit Persia, Abyssinia, Ceylon, Mesopotamia, Southern Rhodesia, Northern Rhodesia, Siam, and Burma. He also hopes to meet with Nebuchadnezzar at some point, however has had no response on his official request yet.

There you go! NOTE TO Senator Obama and his misguided/bleeding heart supporters: There are certain things you can not buy in America. Sorry Senator, but the Presidency of the US is not for sale. If you want it, you are going to have to really earn it by being honest, respecting voters (particularly the women that count), being patriotic, gaining more political and overseas experience, etc., etc.

And, I really believe that may be a too tall order for you and your supporters.

1 – Obama is doing well because of his good judgement. You cannot repair a limping country with policies that all revolve around Hate.

2 – PUMAs are Republicans posing as bitter Democrats – trying to work the division angle. Do not waste your time......

Shady, put down the wine, sleep it off and then listen to John McCain. This flip flopper is the candidate who can't get three words right. When he is asked a hard question, he stutters and stammers and says he'll have to check his voting record. What a shame he is ruining his political reputation. By the way, less government in your life got you the last eight years.

Remember the exit polls? What people tell pollsters and what they decide when the curtain's closed in the voting booth are sometimes two different things.

I hope Presidentail Elect Barack Obama continue to extend his lead over McCain. McCain is a discussing flip flopper he said he would not run a negative campaign but that is all he has done is attack Obama's plan everytime he makes a speech as though he is a god where as no one can be right but him. its one thing to make a point about his own plan but to come of as though only he can possibly be right is acting like a god. Even though the Iraqi government is saying that they would like the US to pull the troops out by 2010 in line with what Obama has said McCain camp will still twist and spin his words. They are very good at telling half trues to confuse the voters. Don't be confused by their polictics. Obama Jan 20 09.

Obama was trailing by 6points in NH 2month ago and now leads McCain by 3points. Thats a 9 % switch from McCain to OBAMA and not a tie.

Obama, we're no longer listening. After a while even my 13 yr old realized that you had no substance.

You PUMA folks are just too much. Do you think that we (the reasonable people) care that you are wasting your votes to make a stupid point. Do you think we care who you vote for because we don't. You PUMA people are so lacking in moral fiber that you leave it to the rest of us to pay your candidates debt. With supporters like you Hillary never had a chance. Take your votes where ever you. You do not matter and you do not love this country. I will continue to pay down Hillary's debts and vote for Obama.

Obama should be at least 10 points ahead of McCain in all polls. He seems to do everything right and have all the media and public support.

Black vs White
Young vs Old
New Washington vs Old Washington
Democrat (after 8 yrs of Republican Pres) vs Status Quo Republican

If he loses this election it will be the end of his political career.

How can McCain possibly be in a dead heat race with Obama!?

I mean.., with the media following him around like puppies and trumpeting his every move.., Obama should have a double digits lead by now. Come on CNN! Your obviously not doing enough pulling here!!

Too early for polls. The real news is that Hillary is actually $1 million deeper in debt than before. What happened to the PUMAs? Oh yeah, they didn't put their money where their mouths are even when Hillary was running, and haven't given her anything since.

RSP,

So let me get this straight, 3 years of organizing, mobilizing, and strengthening his community, his state, and a national campaign all from the ground up counts for nothing, but living off of your wife's beer fortune, completely out of touch with the average American: now that counts for something! Give me a break!!!
With all of McCains so called "Experience", this country is in worse shape than it was before he entered the Senate. What good is experience without any measurable results? Let's compare what Obama's been able to do in three years with what McCain has done in the past three years! LOL!!! No comparison!

Jack Cafferty has nothing worth while to say.

Time table = time horizon
Diplomatic negotiation = talks

Read through the Republican double speak America.

Obama '08

CNN has never published any my comments...my comment today...McCain couldn't win even if he had Jesus as his running mate.

McCain needs to do something. He's simply making too many mistakes. Mispeaking, mistruths, rants. He speaks in generalizations about war and then attacks Obama's specifics.

Frankly, I thought John McCain would be better than this. I'm disappointed in his campaign, his advisors and the fact that he has let him run wild. McCain better find "his voice" faster than Hillary did or he's history.

I agree about the media in the tank for Obama , like the voters wouldn't figure it out . No Mystical myst here ...GO McCain

Why don't you report the other poll today that has Obama up by 8% in Ohio. That is devastating for the McCain camp. I get the feeling that the MSM is favoring McCain, as it did Bush in 2000 &2004.

Obama don't even know what day it is. He would make a good preacher but thats it. He is all talk like a sales man. But no political experience and I vote for experience. I am sick of hearing his name all over the place. The media are the ones pushing him because it sure isn't the voters. A lot of us dems are going with McCain. A lot of Clinton supportors are going with McCain. We could care less about Obama and his friends.

DOWN with PUMA voters! Voting out of spite is dishonest and unpatriotic.

Yea right!
Pigs might fly as well.
Must have used Diebold voting machines to take the poll.

Prediction:

Landslide in '08...and I'm not talking about Obama. People will start to see Obama for the politician he truly is. His hypocrisy knows no bounds.

Holding my nose and voting: McCain '08

With the Media Circus in Obamas pocket , McCain will still be our next president. CNN might as well call theirself the Obama news station and get it over with. Anyone that doesn't want lower taxes and lower gas prices with less government in their lifes must miss being at home with mommy to tell them how to live their life. Obama doesn't have enough experience for a main stream job let alone president .McCain is more experienced with better ideals for what direction this country should go in. On stage without a speech written Obama will fail.He will spend a lot of time with uh,ah,uh well. McCain speaks well off the cuff. and has the right answers. Will Obama copy McCain like he did Hillary? GO McCain !

what Obama is capable of doing will soon be known.

He was sent to tour the world with the press, to gain some intellect.
What happens in America and to bitter Americans is always secondary to him. He doesnt care, so far as his race and color can bring him the presidency.

I am so sick of the bloggers posting nothing but hate, hate, hate. It seems to be coming primarily from Obama supporters, but there is plenty to go around. To have a truly cohesive society, we must be willing to listen to opposing sides of arguments to make informed and beneficial decisions. Name calling leads to division, and I do not understand why the people who support the so-called "unity" candidate are so mean and spiteful. I truly do not understand it.

I don't understand how anyone could vote back in the party that has destroyed this Country over the last eight years. Especially someone that isn't even trying to hide the fact that his policies are the same as Bush's. If you want to see a flip flopper, take a look at McCain's prior video footage from 2000. Talk about doing a 180 to get elected. Please get pay attention, watch, listen, and read all you can before you cast your vote. This is probably the most important election of our time.

You McStupid voters better wake up.I know darn well most of you have lost about everything you have worked for too just like the rest of us!! Why repeat the same bull that dumba@# GWB have given us by trying to put McDumba@# in to continue it?!!! And to think you people probably think you're smart and hurting us by doing so!!! Wake up cause you're being affected too!!!!!! OBAMA'08

must be some of that mystical mist in the air comming from a rear end .. To many people fake fainting these day s...,

Welcome aboard New Hampshire!!!

Republican for Barack Hussein Obama.

Obama is worshipped by the ticker as if he were a living deity. They would have us all to believe that the minute Obama wins the election with his idiotic meaningless change rhetoric, that all evils in the world will stop, and all the little children will stand hand in hand and sing, starvation and hatred will be a thing of the past, and we will live in the land of milk and honey, forever and ever, Amen.

Two important polls came out. One Ohio and the other New Hampshire. You ignored the Ohio and highlighted the New Hampshire. Why? Because its closer to your narrative of a close race? Why don't you just report the news instead of your blatant pursuit of an agenda? Heck, you are suppossed to be a news outlet!

Talking about polls rasmusen latest polls shows Obama going down from 48% to 42% and 49% of folks polled say the media is trying to get Obama elected while 14% say the same is true for McCain. Especially news outlets like cnn and msnbc. Propaganda? yep. It worked in the 30's in germany why not try it in america in 2008. We will never forget. history is watching and recording .

These polls mean nothing. Too early, though, since NH is Repub domain, I suspect McMunster will win.

It has been great to see all the Clinton supporters roll up their sleeves to start working of voter registration and getting Obama elected.

Progress on health care, leaving Iraq to the democratically elected Iraqi government, and focusing on the economy is vital.

EVERYONE HERE WOULD GET A BIGGER TAX CUT UNDER OBAMA THAN THEY WOULD WITH MCCAIN. Want lower taxes? Vote OBAMA!

Clearly the picture would have been different had Hillary been the front runner. The misongynists were so eager to denigrate and revile her that they've brought us another male who is now in a dead heat with a Republican.

Congratulations! Hope you enjoy another 4 years of the Bush legacy.

This is just ridiculous reporting. The same polling comapny had McCain up 6 not but a few months ago. Thats a 9 POINT SWING toward Obama. Instead, however, it's billed as a turing of the tide toward McCain.
Also, New Hampshire has little significance in the General Election. This isn't the primaries. New Hampshire does NOt vote before every other state. The entire country votes at once and New Hampshire is only 4 elctoral votes.

All who rant that Obama has no experience kill me...they probably voted TWICE for Dubya who's experience at the time he ran first time was as govenor of Texas....now thats someone with no experience! But he did have his daddy's name so guess that counts for something... huh Repubs???

The only running who has my back is Cynthia McKinney.... Obama is busy trying to be the first and McCain wants to do what he couldnt back in 2000. Neither cares about us. Voting McKinney to keep it real.

Oh look , the messiah , falling in the polls ........OHHHOWWW "Fake Fainting " leg jerking , owwww

Kentucky, Smart Americans who are not brainwashed by main stream media will vote for whoever they want with no outside influence. Maybe its McCain or maybe its Obama. Then again maybe its Nader. Sure is silly when some think that only Obama supporters might be brainwashed. if CNN brainwashes its viewers then so does FOX. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

And this is news because...?

I was just reading the blogs from the other Tickers. Man; there are some mean people in this country. No wonder the world hates us. I hope the change we need will come in November.

Very interesting poll.. It appears that alot of voters still seem to be split into 2 catagories... Those voting for Obama and those voting against Obama.. Doesn't really appear that anyone is serious enthausiastic about McSame.. Obama leads McDoubleTalk here in Arizona by 3 percent also. In the latest poll Obama is up 42 percent to McInsane's 39 percent and this is his home state (I use the term home state loosely since most Arizonans consider McWar a sort of carpet bagger politician)..

Did anyone read what McCain was planning on sending to the NYT? I wouldn't have even sent to my 1st grade teacher. His "essay" just about sums up his entire platform, a non-existent, twisted, redundant abomination that should deserve much better from someone with close to three decades in politics. How can this race be as close as it is? I didn't think the U.S. could be that stupid.

Florida, I agree with you. Smart Americans who are not brainwashed by main stream media will vote for McCain. I have peaceful life without News by CNN, MSNBC and Foxnews.

Hispanic for McCain:

There is only one elitist in this election, and that is McCain. He's far wealthier than Obama, and his wife's nest egg just sold out to the Belgians for tons of money. How unpatriotic can you get, selling out like that?

ONE YEAR IN THE SENATE IS NOT ENOUGH! 3 years as a community organizer, basically a civil rights activist, IS NOT ENOUGH! Obama is a product of marketing.
McCain in November....that's the truth.

Wait till people from NH realize that McPain see's them as a state of whiners from a nation of whiners... nobody will vote for him.
There are currently very limited non-whiners (in McPain's terms) who dont agree that the nation of whiners is in a recession.
If all the whiners put him in a mental institution, then he will live his rest of his life whining.
OBAMA (2008 -16)

There is no Cafferhy file. It is closed Mr. I will watch the outcome from a distance..... I hope you have have a Flack-Jack-et..... Note the Name? Jack.? You in NYC in 1977, as a Jounalist... Would you have really denied 'John McCain" the right, to explain how he believes a Democracy Behave's.... Jack I thought you were sworn...

A statistical tie? Hillary Clinton would take New Hampshire hands down. You mean with all the touting by CNN of the sugar plum fairy – Obama still isn't convincing? We have lost ethical coverage in journalism when a news organization promotes one candidate over another – actually, I think it may be backfiring – who can trust this type of bias?

Folks, pay close attention to McCain, ole my goodness. His time have come and gone. We need to move our nation on the path of healing not decling.

i CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS ARE OVER
AND I CAN FORGET THERE EVER WAS A COMMUNITY ORGANIZER FOR SOME CHICAGO SLUM NAMEC OBAMA

Oh well. Obama's winning Ohio, Michigan, and Pennsylvania right now. That's the election. Even if McCain wins New Hampshire, he still will lose.

Obama '08

The Marxist thuggery displayed here is only exceeded by the violence being committed by Obama supporters in the streets of San Francisco.

It still amazes me how so many would rather have John McForgot as their president.

Haven't we had enough of Republican rule these past eight years? I don't understand why this is even a question, it is so obvious time for us to elect someone like Obama instead of someone who follows the same politics that got us where we are today. Seriously, do people think we are better off now than we were eight years ago? This is a no-brainer.

I live in Pa and everyone know around here is voting for mccain... the media tries to make everyone believe that people are going vote for OBama.... Obama and his cult cant stop the PUMA movement.. yes we hillary clinton supporters can stop obama and his cult.. we are going hand the election over to McCain.. We are working hard in New Hampshire, Ohio, Pa, Florida..... we say noooooooo wayyyyy to a flip flopper like obama and more power to mccain

Yeah right!

Come again?

How SAD! After 8 years of failed Republican rule; the war; the national debt that has GROWN TO $10 TRILLION........ AND 4100 soldiers dead! With Bush/Cheney's lies, and all the laws they have broken Obama & McCain are in a tie!

No one has polled our household of registered Independents, not our friends, some former-republicans!

HOW CAN ANYONE VOTE FOR MORE WAR; MORE DEBT.......MORE OF THE SAME???????

OH YEAH...... WE ALL WANT TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE OUR BIG SUV'S SO...... LET'S DRILL, DRILL, DRILL!

In my town the undecided voters is about the same as the unemployment–7.5%

sadly, neither candidate will really have the macho to address the real issues behind jobs...and retraining efforts will be targeted to the youth not the veteran workers....

my recommendation is to learn a new language–then the unemployed supervisors, managers, executives can follow their jobs to India.

mccain thinks new hampshire is in sweden.

Oh New Hampshire....here's a hint on who to vote for

....the smart guy!

Another reason for VP Romney!

Yea, People in New Hampshire are actually smart and are not brainwashed by the main stream media. They voted for Hillary and McCain and will vote for him again in November. Change is coming America, but its just not Barrack Obama.

Just because the difference is within the margin of error does not mean that it is a 'statistical tie'. A statistical tie would be 46-46. 46-43 is referred to as a slight lead within the margin of error. This is a serious error that has been repeated several times by CNN. You either need to send a memo to the headline writers or fire your stats guy, or both.

Karen – Missouri July 21st, 2008 5:30 pm ET

That's not a tie! Jeez, when will the media tell it like it is…why not play up that Obama is leading, although by narrow margin, period?

=================================

You obviously don't know Statistics or polling nuiances, so go back to watching MSNBC and leave the analysis to the experts.

Hello three point advantage is not a tie... keep it real! Obama will win all states or at least the majority!!!! I know the majority of Americans know they do not want McBush in the office therefore, change is coming!

Obama 08

Obama repainted his campaign plane and removed the American flag from the tail and put his campaign symbol on it. To the Obama supporters this is where your money is going for. His arrogance just keeps on going. I hope the American people will see thru this man

Should the " my friends" senator add the "great" Gov. (past) of Ma. to the ticket I know that N.H. having been privy tp Romney up close and personal will vote as I will.....OBAMA 08 and 12,,,

Yup, thats me the old/retired white guy from Ma.

Bruce

In the faith that I had when joining the US Navy, that my commander and chief would be a man with wisdom and honor. From John McCain day at the Naval Acadamey he was rackless than and he rackless now.....

I feel Senator John McCain is wearing the Navy Cap all wrong he needs to wear the Disable Vet Cap since is a "Disable Vet".

Senator John McCain still needs to stop lying about Senator Obama this latest lie about blaming Obama for the rise in gas will backfire....

The bitter old man is going down everywhere. He will probably lose his home state. McLame should just pack it in now.

CHANGE??????? BO – null null – otherwise known as Dr. NO!

"CHANGE"……What I Believe BO's Definition of Change Is!

C = COMMUNISM
H = HATRED
A = ABORTION
N = NEGATIVE
G = GREED
E = ELITISM

Hispanic for McCAIN!!!!!

incoherent
incompetent
vulgar

all descriptive words used to define John S. McCain is recent post, blogs and News. so NH what ever you want to call McCain, don't ever use the word President.

Vote Obama

OBama u da man

Listen to McCain, do you really think he would make a good comander and chief. Don`t think so. I am for Senator Obama all the way, and I will not change my mind.Hurry up November 4, I can`t stand the wait.

It is considered a tie because neither candidate has a lead when the poll's margin of error is taken into consideration. In the poll, Obama is ahead by 3 points, but the margin of error is 4.3 points. Can't really say Obama is leading because its possible that he isn't.

And we are supposed to believe polls that come out of New Hampshire. I think not.

Mind you, a tear or two from one of them could equal a win.

ever notice they are doing it again just like they did with hillary on the blogs. your a moron if you dont trust Oblah-blah. next watch it will be the uneducated that vote for McCaine

McCain please tell me which is true: We are winning the war in Iraq or We have won the war in Iraq. Which one is it?

what poll? look at news.aol.com poll and see McCain 68%--Obama 32%. 325000 vote at this poll. So stop talking about polls.

guys...it is a tie...if the lead is within the margin of error then it is considered a tie or statistical dead heat...wow...the ignorance of this country is astonishing...

So McScum is slipping in still another state.
Are the people of America already tired of his lies, his filth, his drooling, pathetic imitation of President Dubya ?
Looks like it, don't it ?

Polls at this point mean nothing
Experience got America *no where*
down with the war monger!!!!! MCSame

Go for good judgement Obama 08

Yes people, it is a tie. The 3% lead is smaller than the 4.3% margin of error. In other words, the actual totals, if the entire state had been polled, could have shifted 4.3% in either direction. Obama could be up by 7.3%, or McCain could be up by 1.3%. That's the definition of a statistical tie.

unfortunately that 8% will dwindle down as people start making up their minds.

Whoever wins Hampshire wins the race. For some reason they find the presidents voice there.

Obama by 6 in November in NH.

Dear Yeah Right,

What kind of pidgin English are you speaking. Your comment makes absolutely no sense, which says a lot about your support for McCain........

NH is totally for Obama.

We don't want a president who doesn't even know how to check his email online!

THE WORLD WLL MAKE MORE FUN OF US.

aww, poor PUMA. We are united against the republican hate machine. Just wait to august and there will be only blue states

The more McSame is out there whinning, the more presidential Obama looks. I want to be part of something upbeat and exciting. McSame is running the same negative campaign the Republicans always run. Fear and lies! I pray that the American people are ready to shake off this last 8 years, like it has been a bad dream. If McSame steals this election again, it will be our worst nightmare!

Go New Hampshire! It is time for common sense for a change. VOTE OBAMA!

I would never support Obama. I will not be the only one here who feels this way. Obama has literally no experience to become president. No one has become president in this history of this country with this much experience.
Neither will Obama. Wait watch and see.

*****

YES >WE<... Can.....!!

Barack Obama for President of the United States of America.......

******

I wonder how come a person on full state of mind will vote for McCain!
I will vote for Bush again before I consider McCain

Barr all the way or even Obama but no McCain

Hey accountant Guy, do you have a brain or has it been swollen by the Kool Aid. What part of we don't want the Socialist Democratic party in power don't you get. At least the Germans call their party by the right name.... "Socialist Democrats".

Well, just wait for those folks to get a hint of McCain's cowpie diplomacy and things will change.

Yes, it IS a statistical tie when the article clearly states that there is a +\- 4.3% margin of error.

The Real Americans will decide this election. Those of us whose lineage goes back to England and Spain will not vote for Obama.

Those of us who have served our country honorably will not vote for Obama.

Those of us who love our country and don't want it to go Socialist will not vote for Obama.

There are a lot of us.....Do ya hear me.

Tied there...Well ahead in Ohio no wonder all of the Obama Haters are going into high gear. Keep it up though. Your the reason why he is doing so well. All this and he hasn't even had one debate (that is going to be UGLY) poor McCain.

More false reporting from the mainstream media...

Here are the last two polls I saw...
University of New Hampshire - 46 43 – Obama +3.0
Rasmussen – 50 39 Obama +11.0

This means Obama may actually carry the state. Right? I thought it was McCain's land.

I do NOT believe any poll that is out there. They are only polling a certain group of people.

The polls are not very diverse.

Since when did "statistically" mean anything?? "statistically" Clinton was a shoe-in for the nomination, look how that turned out

Obama 08!

Wow. A poll about voter preferences in July for a state that only has 4 electoral college votes anyway?! Exciting day on the ticker, I guess...

new hampshire will vote for obama as soon as they catch mccain trying to move their border next to pakistan.

A more enlightening headline would have been:

"OBAMA ENJOYING 9-POINT TURNAROUND IN NEW HAMPSHIRE"

Obama may get more press than McCain, but McCain gets decidely better press as this story indicates.

There are plenty of McCain stories that the corporate media fails to report. Daily there are statements by McCain that were they to come from Obama would be splattered all over the front pages and FOX would be doing their usual Breaking News segment.

It is obvious whose horse the corporate media is betting on.

Mcsame you don't have a chance OBAMA 08

Hmm. Obama better take hillary to NH, of course his supporters say he doesn't need Hillary or her supporters, so good luck.

3 points ahead is a lead. the worm is turning!!!!

Go Obama '08 & '12!!

Glendale Heights, IL

Karen, a 3% lead in a poll with a 4.3% margin of error makes it a 'statistical tie'. It basically means the votes could swing 4.3% in either direction. In a best case scenario, Obama holds a STRONG lead, in a worst case scenario, he's cut a 6% defecit to 1%. Either way it's a good sign for Obama.

I bet that McBush wishes we had a parlimentary system so that he could call elections right now. The longer he and his surrogates keep belittling the American public by telling us this economic downturn is all in our heads the stronger Obama gets!

Baracks got the "MO"!

Obama/Nunn in 2008 and beyond.

It looks like McCain's attack ads are having an adverse effect, at least here and maybe elsewhere in the future. The old Hollywood adage is true: there's no such thing as bad publicity.

Even with the completely lopsided coverage, McCain is still holding his own. Go McCain!!!

New Hampshire will proudly go for Barack.
It is said that the true mark of insanity is repeating the same mistake over and over again. We're not crazy up here.

Obama 08/12

Why is it so close?
Why are there McCain supporters?
How does McCain's policies benefit our country?

He admitted not knowing much about the economy. He wants to continue the Bush tax cuts. He does nothing to better our image in the world. He wants to stay in Iraq indefinitely. He has contradicting views on our energy crisis ( wants to minimize global warming yet wants to drill for oil NOW and explore other energy resources LATER )

Again…why is it so close?

It was an IQ test, and 43% failed. Shades of 2000 and 2004.

I think you need only go read the contribution from 'Yeah right!' above to appreciate the 43% who prefer McCain. That 43% of any state's populace can function with that much brain damage is spectacular.

CNN bias as usual. Obama is clearly in the lead. Shame , shame.

519 voters polled. CNN = epic phail

So much for allowing the national media to cram Obama down our throats.

Every time McCain speaks, he loses votes. Listen to what he is saying and how he is saying it.

I have faith that the good people of NH are smart and will make the logical decision of helping to put Barack our next president!!

Obama '08

obama/CLINTON ticket equals a New Hampshire win.

VICE PRESIDENT CLINTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LIBERAL bring USA flush to thoilet ANYTHING goes bed with perverted and criminal

That's not a tie! Jeez, when will the media tell it like it is...why not play up that Obama is leading, although by narrow margin, period?

Yes, definitely that is the tide I hear turning.

Change is coming to America watch 50 States turn blue come November!!!!!!
Obama 2008

Thank God 8% of us still have common sense.

New Hampshire went to Hillary and went for Mc Cain in 2000/2008 I say obama loses it by a few points. New Hampshire voters have a history in seeing threw con-artist candidates that are all talk. They value their votes.
Mc 08
Hillary 2012

McCain KEEP making errors and the media does NOT focus on them ..... WHY???? This man is going to start a war in Iran if he is elected.... This is NOT the McCain of 2000.

Three points is not a "statistical tie," it's the percentage Bush beat Kerry by nationally in 2004. Did they "tie" that election? lol

Not in my town! Its Obama all the way!!!
