Nevermind.

The adjusted total is even better.

Wow!!!

[darius15]

[Drunken Irishman]

[Jackpine Radical]

21. You just kinda scared me.

I was hoping your point spread was right and your numbers were wrong. I see my hopes were fulfilled. Now sober up & change that 49 to a 39.

[tridim]

23. Are we still "right where you want us" McPalin?

[gabeana]

24. Shouldn't this be breaking news on Drudge

yeah right:shrug:

[Mojambo]

25. 89% wrong track number + McCain SOLIDLY tied to Bush = Pretty much OVER. n/t

[msallied]

26. This definitely generates much discussion! LOL

[Drunken Irishman]

28. I already did! :D

[msallied]

30. I noticed right after I posted this. I never act fast enough around here. LOL

[ellie]

27. Good lord!

[jazzjunkysue]

29. "Are you sure you want to recommend this thread?"

HELL, YEAH!!!!!

DAMN!!!! Wish they had footage of the headquarters today! The champaign must be flowing!!!!

That'll make the McCainiacs squirm.

[Hope And Change]

32. K & R!

[jefferson_dem]

33. Katie on live now...

"For the first time, Barack Obama opens up a double-digit lead, as more people say the country's on the wrong track."

[Barack_America]

34. I'm concerned....

That somewhere, John McCain has just pissed his Depends.

:evilgrin:

[msallied]

40. I would wager there was more than piss in them. LOL

[DevonRex]

[timber84]

[timber84]

Palin a major factor for independents voting for obama

[crossroads]

37. The Freepers will absolutely freak at this news! K&R

Talk about 'discussion' lol! They will discredit it for sure, you betcha!
CR

[Faygo Kid]

52. Just held my nose and went there. No posts yet. Reality doesn't suit them.

Man, there is really, really ugly racist stuff on that site.

[Marsala]

76. They'll just deny it as usual.

"The media is in the tank for Obama. The pollsters are in the tank for Obama." And next: "The voters are in the tank for Obama".

[blitzburgh55]

78. freepers are saying

CBS. DIDN'T DAN RATHER THE LIAR WORK FOR THEM?


Consider the source... this is the same network that let Dan Rather lie about Bush.

[msallied]

84. LMAO! If I remember, Dan Rather lost his job after that incident.

If anything, corporate media (CBS) won that little battle.

[blitzburgh55]

90. More

I love reading their pain. :)

Basically, they are trying to say, GOP STAY HOME.
Don't work with me. I'm at the point where I will crawl over broken glass, walk over hot coals, and swim through crocodile infested swamps to vote for McPain/Palin.
Obama will destroy our republic and scares the ever lovin beejeezus out of me! I confess to never being this scared of a candidate in my entire life!!
Every hair on my head is turning grey from this election...ArGRGHGH!


We can ignore it all we want, but all of us better start gearing up for 4 years of total disaster.
McCain had about 1 month where he was sizzling hot. Then he quit listening to somebody and went back to Mr. Reach-Across-the-Isle.
He’s sunk. Without Palin, McCain would be 25 points behind in most polls.
The MSM wants a black democrat in the Whitehouse. They’re gonna get one. Just pray to God in heaven that the Republic will be salvagable in 4 years.


LIES. LIES. LIES. LIES. ***** DO NOT BELIVE THESE FALSE AND INFLATED POLLS THAT ARE CLEARLY PIMPING F0R OBAMA. WE MUST ALL FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT AND RALLY VOTES FOR MCCAIN/PALIN - ALL OF US AND EVERYONE YOU KNOW. OBAMA IS A FRAUD! WRITE THE MEDIA AND TELL THEM HOW DISGUSTED YOU ARE WITH THEIR BIAS REPORTING -— AND FALSE POLL NUMBERS. *****************QUESTION -————HOW MANY EMAILS HAVE YOU SENT TO THE MEDIA TODAY??? I HAVE DONE MY PART FOR TODAY WITH 32 EXPRESSING MY DISGUST. THIS IS WHAT THE LEFT DOES DAILY WHICH IS WHY THE MEDIA IS SO BIASED, I BELIEVE. TIME FOR THE MEDIA TO HEAR FROM *FREEREPUBLIC.COM* IN DROVES.

[Shine]

38. Holy shit!!

Freepers heads are exploding, no doubt.

[blue sky at night]

39. let this be a lesson to us all....

slow the fuck down and read, then re-read your op before clicking on the post message button. Spell check is a good thing too.

I may be an ass, but I like proper english.

[Zomby Woof]

102. Then you should capitalize "English"

I may be an ass, but I don't like scolding hypocrites.

[blue sky at night]

104. i don't like capitals....

its a personal thing, call me what you will.

[Cush]

41. Independents: Obama 51 - McCain - 33

[Diamonique]

42. But why can't Obama close the deal?

:-) channeling Pat Buchanan

[tigereye]

43. wow. That's pretty cool.

Gotta get em all to the polls, though.

[jazzjunkysue]

106. I disaggree. No GOP bigot likes to vote for a loser. But when he loses to a black man,

that's more than a bigot can suffer.

One freeper said, "They're telling us to stay home." That's what a bigot reads when he hears this. it reads, "You're a loser if you vote for a loser."

So, I think alot of them will stay home in protest. "They lost my vote." They're that angry.

And we know we've read as much on here about dem candidates. "I'm voting 3rd party to show them."

I think they're defeated and they're not getting in the pickup truck on cue. They're going to the local bar and get hammered.

[jefferson_dem]

44. 18 point lead among Independents for Barack!

:wow:

[blue_onyx]

45. That so great!!!

I was a little worried it would show McCain narrowing Obama's lead. I don't doubt Obama will win but I thought the media might not like the idea of Obama having a strong lead the entire month before the election.

[five_horizons]

47. Holy Jebus

:wow:

[Jackinbox]

48. How long til Drudge put this on his page?!? Yeah right. n/t

[NewJeffCT]

65. I know - wasn't McCain surging the other day??

Or was that this morning?

[Uzybone]

49. We are screwn!!!

[Chrisnreno]

50. Wow, just wow. Keep the good news coming! nt

[Arugula Latte]

51. I don't think they're gonna be able to steal this sucker.

[morillon]

71. Exactly.

If Obama heads in to election day with this kind of lead, there is NOOOOOOO explanation other than massive theft. 9/11 would be a pale shadow of the chaos that would result from nationwide insurrection. I don't think even Freepers want that to happen.

[BootinUp]

53. In the words of W

HEY THATS NUCULAR GOOD BUDDY

:nuke:

[That Is Quite Enough]

59. Whupz, self-delete

[GOPNotForMe]

54. Yet, David Gregory is spinning this like crazy to be good for McCain!

"McCain's seen numbers like this before...."

[TheCoxwain]

61. There is a Jim Croce Song .. "Spin Spin Spin "

Spin Around ..

So that we can kick your ass

[americanstranger]

68. Gah. Someone please strike Gregory with a blunt instrument.

Apologist turd.

[Marsala]

72. Yeah, McCain's seen numbers like this before...

In 2000.

55. Battleground backs it up.

56. Stupid McCain. If you're gonna be Bush III, you gotta get elected & THEN fuck it all up

[JSK]

58. Those Palin attacks

are really workin', you betcha by golly -- FOR US!!!!!!!

[BootinUp]

62. I think the average dumb dumb is waking up

and embracing the horror.

[ronnykmarshall]

63. Holy crap!!

Uh ..... dare we say it??

LANDSLIDE

64. Well hot damn.

[dkofos]

66. Mclame at 39. That does look good!!

When it's at 36 (half his age) he can give up.

[NHDEMFORLIFE]

74. Didn't Bush I bottom out at 39 percent?

Apparently that's the percentage of total dumbasses in America.

[faithfulcitizen]

75. I heard some pundit the other day say "it's virtually impossible to get below 40 in the GE polls."

well, looks like McKKK can accomplish SOMETHING. :)

[jakem]

67. MORE!! I want us to win by MORE!!!

:woohoo:

[americanstranger]

73. I'm with you.

I want 80% - 20% on election day.

I'm with Kos. Crush them, discredit their philosophy, humiliate them.

Rip out their souls and stomp them. I want fucking payback.

[ecstatic]

69. I agree with Bukkkanon for once

People already plan to vote dem this year--Many people were just hesitant to give a firm answer until they really got to see Obama up close and personal, starting at the DNC and now with the debates. At the debates, people aren't even watching McShame, they're just watching Obama and wrapping their minds around the fact that Obama will be the next president.

[BootinUp]

70. I concur. nt

[rndmprsn]

77. GOOD GOD! just texted this to my list!

yay!

[ChiciB1]

79. Here Comes THE COLD WATER!! Please Don't Get Over-Confident!!

Numbers are great, but DON'T EVER EVER EVER trust Repukes and what they WILL DO when things don't go their way!

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER!! We should have learned that lesson well by now!!!

Making ACORN almost the ONLY story right now is ONE indication! And yes, I DID see the picture of McCain with the group!

[TheCoxwain]

83. I agree .. but let us savor this poll .. We all will be back to work & Gun for th 60% mark

[npincus]

80. Wow

[Undercurrent]

81. Group happy dance time!

[CakeGrrl]

82. What to do, McCain? Bring up Ayers and/or Wright Wednesday or not?

The crosstabs are telling the McCain campaign that voters don't like the negative campaigning or their VP selection. :rofl:

The biggest issues with Obama are the 'associations' with Wright and Ayers.

But if McCain or Schieffer bring either of them up at the debate, that gives Obama an excellent chance to clear the air in front of millions of viewers.

What to do?

:evilgrin:

[phleshdef]

87. Let him do it... And here is what I would say...

I hope he does. I really do. Because I am 99% convinced that Obama will break out a litany of every "negative" association he or his running mate have ever had. AND he would have open license to do so and plenty of material to work with. From G. Gordon Liddy to the Alaskan Independence Party to the Keating 5 to the charge of abuse of power by the Alaskan Legislature to having campaign high ups that lobbied and made money from all these failing financial institutions to working with the same people that once used the same smear tactics on John McCain himself. I hope that is the strategy because I think it would work and be completely justified at the same time.

[BootinUp]

96. He looks like a Greek god or something lol.

[Meshuga]

99. McCain has Obama just where he wants him: 14 points ahead!

I'm sure he is going to say that tomorrow.

[Laelth]

100. k&r for very good news.

It's been 16 years since I've had this feeling, but I finally think the American people are waking up. I just hope the electorate gives us 61 in the Senate. Lieberman does not count in a filibuster-proof majority. 59 is good, but 61 would be the icing on the cake.

:dem:

-Laelth

[Phoonzang]

101. Just 14 points? WHY CAN'T OBAMA CLOSE THE DEAL?

[workinclasszero]

103. Freepers are shitting their Depends

and cryin for mommy!:rofl:

[Proud Liberal Dem]

105. But why can't Obama "close the deal??????"

Just kidding!!!!
