IT SHOULD BE 29! ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION PEOPLE? McCAIN VOTED NO ON LAST 8 DISABILITIES ACTS AND PALIN JUST ANNOUNCED MORE MONEY FOR AUTISTIC KIDS..... HMM PALIN JUST CLOWNED RESEARCH WITH FRUITFLIES,......AND THAT IS THE LEADING RESEARCH IN DEVELOPING AUTISTIC CHILD TREATMENT... HMMM SENIOR McCAIN ADVISORS ARE ADMITTING PALIN IS "DOING HER OWN THING".... WAKE UP! BARBIE IS OUT OF CONTROL!!!! SEND THESE LYING CLOWNS HOME!!!
No wonder Mccain is foaming at the mouth. Despite is 'love' for being an underdog, I think McCain is angry that he is not ahead in the polls.
Thanks to all you folks who pitched in to pay my delinquent taxes. I am going to run for congress as the uneducated idiot who dosnt like paying taxes.
If obama wins I will go on every left wing site I can find, starting with CNN everyday, and rub it in your face everytime he screws up which will probably be daily. When Biden's prediction comes true and we get attacked by terrorists again, it's going to be on your heads
Obama has conducted his campaign from day one with honor and integrity. He's going to be one of our best presidents ever!
You guys are SOOOOO afraid of Sarah!!!!!!! TOOOOO Funny!!!!
go to newsbusters.org for the correct tally on the poll count .
C,N,N, IS VERY SLANTED TOWARD THE DEMS. AND OBAMA
This is great news for Obama, but it ain't over 'til it's over. Obama shouldn't be scheduling the confetti/balloon drop yet. It will be a long few days. Anything can happen, and the McCain/Palin team have proven themselves try ANYTHING. Palin is now making more veiled statements that property and profits under Obama's plan will be "shared". This is a backhanded way of calling him a communist (socialists don't share property, per se). Of course, it's also probably that Palin doesn't know the difference between communism and socialism, even though she can see a communist country, when someone points it out to her on a globe.
One JOE told us Obama can't handle the economy....
JOE the VP told us Obama can't handle the world
You guys are SOOOOO afraid of Sarah!!!!!!! TOOOOO Funny!!!!
We are the underdogs, thats just where we want them haha!!
Make some more noise McCain and Palin.
Obama / Biden 08
Don't belive the CNN polls. Why would anyone believe a media conglomerate that has done everything but rig the voter machines in Obama's favor since day one? Las Vegas has the winning money on McCain and so should everyone else.
Everybody, just FORGET about the polls, and GO OUT AND VOTE!!!! I don't care who you support, but your voice must be heard. That is the only way this election will be determined democratically.
A BUNCH OF DRUNKEN REDNECKS JUST BEAT ME UP AND CARVED "McMOOSEBURGER" INTO MY BUTTCHEEKS BECAUSE I WAS WEARING OBAMA '08 JOCKEY SHORTS!!!!
Yea, right.
And people should believe this bogus polls
Sarah Palin and Ashley Tood are running for president in 2012.
go stupids
It will really be interesting to see if the cable stations, who lost a large percentage of viewers because of political bias, will get them back once the election is over. Having experienced 12 presidential elections, this the first one ever seen to be so biased toward the Democratic ticket. Even Fox News, who usually has a definite leaning toward conservative candidates, became more tolerant toward one party and candidate over the other. One of the most noticeable occurrences where the written media was concerned is that they always had biased lead stories with biased headlines in stories dealing with Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin. A perfect example of this is today's story headline, "Palin 'going rogue'...." And probably the most consistent user of such negative statements has been Jack Cafferty in his question of the day. He really worked Hillary over! I always thought the media was supposed to be fair with a 50/50 treatment of the candidates. Have I been wrong! Anyway, the day following November 4 is one that is eagerly awaited. Then everybody can take a deep breath and start criticizing the winner!
Since Palin has her own agenda, can we split McCain's numbers with her?
There is a GOD after all!
mcsame bye bye !!!!! lipstick bye bye !!!!!
Maybe if these polls covered other candidates too, we'd be seeing less showing up as "undecided." The 1 or 2 polls I saw that included others showed Libertarian Bob Barr @ 2-3% and tired old Nader @ 1-2%. If pollsters are only giving people 3 options (Obama, McCain, not sure), that implies that people can ONLY be for one or the other. They should AT LEAST have choices of Obama, McCain, OTHER, or Not Sure.
