Blog Buzz: Veep Frenzy, Poll Shows McCain Leads Obama, Convention News

Claudean, you need to brush up on your history

Zogby was in John Kerry's hip pocket throughout all of the 2004 campaign, even going so far as to declare Kerry the winner on Election Day based upon exit polling.

History has proven Zogby to be anything but a conservative sycophant. Besides, where was your criticism of Zogby's polling methods a month ago when Zogby showed Obama with a 6-7 point lead.

No, what is happening here is that Obama's celebrity status is working against him. Now that he is in the limelight he so desperately craves, not even his butt buddies over at MSNBC or CNN can protect his dubious record and his shadowy past from scrutiny. Simply put, the more the American people learn about Barack Hussein Obama, the less they like him.

I'm not a huge McCain guy. Too centrist for my liking sometimes. But next to BHO, McCain is the far more conservative choice, and will therefore get my vote. As for your assertion that we may be left with the "Not So Great McOzCain", well I'll take that in a New York minute over a socialist, racist, Muslim wolf in Christian sheep's clothing like Obama.

McCain's so-called "lead"

There are polls, and then there are "polls". In any given day I can find any number of "polls" to support whatever position I want to pontificate. The Zogby poll does NOT sound as reputable as the others; indeed, one wonders who is behind the Zogby results. Does anyone care to speculate?

This could just be the same old propaganda in a new incarnation. Remember the Swift Boat dirty tactics? In 2008 we may well have the Zogby Polls dirty tactics.

As for who is behind this farce: (1) John McCain and camp. OR (2) The team of Hill and Bill. What do you think?

Yes, the American public is rather gullible. The election of 2008 is not the time to be ignorant. I would hope that we can see through the hype, the lies, the "dirty Politics", and the propoganda. If not------

We will all be in the Land of OZ. Behind all the smoke, bluster and bluff, the trick mirrors, and intimidation, we may find that the Great Oz hiding behind the curtain will be exposed. In this modern-day Over the Rainbow (unless we are very careful) we will be left with The Not-so Great McOzcain.

Wake up, people. Don't follow the yellow (as in cowardly politics) brick road. Use your brain, your heart, and your courage; educate yourself, for the sake of the future of our country and the world. It's not too late to change from the wrong course that this country has been on since 2000.
