OMG CNN is coming clean
Showing electoral map and saying "McCain is substantially behind"

New numbers about the economy, and they look really, really bad. One of the fundamental complaints about McCain's speech at the convention is that he did not offer specifics to fix it.

Schneider: "There was not a lot of fresh new ideas here"

The rethug. meme is that Barack Obama is the most liberal candidate ever, is that enough?

Schneider: If the liberal comes up with reasons they'll be open to that. Americans are looking for change. Ideology doesn't matter.

They are slamming the republicans!

2. Why are they always acting like the Prez is elected on a popular vote?
Even so, Obama is almost always ahead in the popular vote, but McCain has never even approached him in electoral votes which is HOW WE CHOOSE A PRESIDENT!

6. I don't know but today they are not. They are
being more realistic. Probably because it is Sat afternoon and no one is watching.

17. Maybe because it's their country too
and they're worried and possibly scared.

19. I think they are pissed because palin won't talk and they are taking
hits about 'dissing' her. Now they are mad. Their ox got gored and the gloves are off. Too little too late but I will take what I can get.

13. Don't worry
Once the Democrats control the White House AND Congress all the media will hate on them, all the time. But, in fairness, so will we.

15. Yeah, I never watch CNN but had it on last night and saw most of 360

and was pleasantly surprised.

And if you didn't catch Michael Moore on Larry King seek it out. It was great!

10. Plus, same story later on Politics show. Obama's got it. GOP is only 28%.
Saying that it's the economy and people won't fall for the hype. Saying that McCain and Palin are drowning in lobbyists and earmarks and the old ways. Nothing new offered, no real reason to vote for the GOP.

16. Republicans can only argue that they're more "worthy" to lead
They think it's a popularity contest.
