In reality, any drop is likely due to people being caught up in McCains blatant lies. I mean, seriously, blaming a Senator for being the cause of high fuel prices? Get real.

Think about it, Iraq war, bad economy, high fuel prices, and Obama is only up by 4. Obama should be up by 20 to 30 points in the polls. I wonder why he isn't? Maybe a LOT of people don't TRUST him. Or mabye a lot of people see through all of his retoric. I find this interesting that Obama is only up by 4 in a year when everything has gone so bad for the Republicans.

That is why Obama has been doing a series of flip-flops from his far-left positions during the primary, while McCain's shifts have largely been imperceptible from his middle right positions. Coupling this with Obama's sorely lacking resume, the race will definitely tighten up toward November as the independents start to pay close attention. Once they do, it is doubtful whether the show-biz nature of the Obama campaign and his oratory skills will be enough. US presidential elections are decided by independents

No they are in fact polling in Oregon, California, NY and places where they can get the numbers "they're" looking for. If I was a Nobama supporter and only up by 4 this would make me very nervous.

And, with Kerry's states, when he adds Iowa (7) and New Mexico (5), Senator Obama will need just 5 more electoral votes to get to a tie at 269. 6 more votes to get to 270. So, where do we look for them? Nevada, Colorado, Missouri, Ohio, Virginia, North Carolina and Florida. To a lesser extent, Montana (but only 3 votes there) and North Dakota. And dare I say it (according to a Zogvy poll, Obama is close) ARIZONA. So, while these numbers are great, what we're looking for really are two states. Any two will do. That's great.

Because of that I'm voting for McCain and there is NO WAY I can put up a McCain sign, I might get shot. Vote McCain From Oregon! "I have a McCain sign in my window at home. Others in my area like McCain as well, but are afraid to show it because according to many news souces if you don't vote for Obama you are a racist or just flat out dumb."

I had a Hillary sticker on my car and I heard SEVERAL people call me racist, and my Hillary Sign in front of my house was stolen or thrown in the trash 5 times... Because of that I'm voting for McCain and there is NO WAY I can put up a McCain sign, I might get shot.

Vote McCain From Oregon!

Obama's trip abroad has already made the United States look stronger and given our people something to hope for. When he comes home all he has to do is focus on the economy, go back to the heartland and make the voters understand that he does have a plan to put them back to work, that there will be health care and come up with an idea to help the gas crunch. With this in mind Sen. Obama will be our next President. Sen. Obama's trip abroad has already made the United States look stronger and given our people something to hope for.

Let's face it, It can't get any worse! When the country has a chance to change direction, and in this country we are able to, we should embrace it, not talk of Kool-Aid. Sen Mc Cain is a fine man, but Sen Obama represents an open mind, and the ability to embrace others knowledge and experience in their areas. This is the thinking of John Adams, and all the other notable Presidents. This is a golden opportunity to show the world that we are not as short sighted as we seem... For those of you who actually leave this country, and actually talk to foreign citizens, you will know what this means. The rest of you, give up the tours and the cruises, you might actually learn something. The US is not only what we think it is because WE say so. AND VOTE!!!!!
