You gave birth to yourself? 
Face it moosehead, you are bought and paid for by the republican party. A political yes man who goes to the polls and pulls the lever for the (R) candidate regardless of the qualifications of the candidate.

bro, don't have to tell us that, Benny has no idea what it means to build a business. Fact is if Obama does get elected companies are going to declare bankruptcy, and liquidate assets, bye bye. No one is going to pay 50% taxes, and have a good business.

The state-by-state polls matter a great deal.  Obama leads in several Bush states, by historically unbeatable margins.

Our nation uses a state-by-state system to decide the winner.
Therefore state-by-state polls are what matters.  Mccain may lead in national polls, because he has leads of 20 points in places like Utah.  Doesn't affect national outcome.

Ask Al Gore.  He won the national election... but lost because we use a state by state system

[fearANDloathing]

This country made the disgraceful decision to reelect Bush and choosing McCain(bush Light), for a  President will reaffirm the world's opinion of Americans being politically Dumb as fucking doornails.
Will the racism in this country allow for a McCain Presidency?
Time will tell.
I really hope not. Militarily and financially we can't afford to have anymore enemies.

If I was an Obama supporter I would be worried about his inability to win the big states. In the primaries Hilariy won all the big states. How is that going to translate into the national election? Also I dont take a lot of stock in polls particularly in this race and most people are afraid of looking racist 

I dont think McCain is a strong canidate and it wouldnt suprise me if Obama won, but again you have to carry at least some of the big states to get into the oval office.

Big states?  http://pollster.com/

Obama leads mccain in Penn 50 to 41%
Obama leads mccain in OH 46 to 43%

McCain leads Obama by .6 in Indiana, and Obama may select an Indiana Senator tomorrow for VP.
McCain leads Obama by .8 in FL, and has lost 5 points here in 2 months... not a good trend.

Obama leads Bush state New Mex by 6 points.
Obama in colorado by 1.6 points

Hell Obama leads in Virginia by almost 3 points.  NO WAY he should win Virginia.



Bottom line is that Mccain has to reverse the polls in 8 states to win it.  And he has to do this with 1/3 the money Obama has, in a receding economy where his position is "The economy is great".  It's going to be a tough task.  Only a fool would bet the rent $ on Mccain at this point in time.

Hillary lost...she is no longer in the race.  Obama will win New York and California, the two biggest states.

I agree that the early polls do not mean very much.
