1. So, for more than 3 weeks, the light green line has never been above the dark green one

Fine with me.

[Thrill]

2. Better start putting out attack ads. Unreal how they are letting them go unanswered

[JackORoses]

6. what's unreal is that you post the same gripe in every thread

Obama is Kerry
Obama is Kerry

blah blah blah

Have you learned nothing yet?
Obama and his team have been several steps ahead of everyone this whole campaign.
Again and again they have done what was supposedly impossible.
They are true Strategists, not Reactionaries.

Watch and learn.

3. Sigh. The swiftboating is working, largely unchallenged. WAKE UP, DEMS!!!

[Teaser]

9. prove it's working

that's right. prove it.

Also, flip a coin and will it to come up heads 50% of the time. See if you're right.

[TwilightGardener]

10. Just my sense. McShitstain has done absolutely nothing except

grouse, look like an idiot in the supermarket, and attack Obama. And yet the polls are getting closer rather than farther.

[DavidDvorkin]

4. Sometimes, Obama hits back quick and hard

But sometimes he doesn't. It's disturbing, given that the press won't do their job.

5. Can Someone Explain To Me Why

This is so close?

I just don't get it.

Do people really like Grumpy that much that he "earns" 42% of the vote?

What am I missing? After 2000 & 2004 this is really starting to get to me.

7. Because there are that many Republicans and right-leaning independents in the country.

And they apparently do not hold McCain personally responsible for Bush's failures.

In a country where Bill Clinton was the only Democratic president elected twice in more than half a century, you shouldn't be expecting some mass conversion of Republicans that will turn them into Obama supporters, willing to vote for someone whose stand on most issues is so different from theirs. Would you turn Republican given a choice between a dazzling Republican nominee and a lackluster Democrat?

Obama's doing very well to be ahead by anywhere from a few to several points in these polls.

But it isn't a comfortable margin, so I'm still hoping Hillary Clinton will be his running mate. Polls are indicating Obama is getting a smaller percentage of Democratic support now than McCain is getting of Republican support. We need a real unity ticket to unite the party.

[SuperTrouper]

8. I also say that Hillary is needed here to be the attack dog

although she is friends with McSame she will not hesitate in sinking her teeth into McLame's hide and believe me Hillary is as fierce as they come. Can you imagine a question from the MSM: "Senator Clinton, do you think that McCain has dementia?" "No, I have no reason to think that Senator McCain is demented, AS FAR AS I KNOW"

The best Democratic ticket is OBAMA/CLINTON 2008.

11. And she'd demolish McCain's running mate in any debate.
