More Bad Polling News for Barack Obama

August 21, 2008 02:30 PM ET | Bonnie Erbe | Permanent Link | Print

As I asked weeks ago, did Obama peak too soon? Check this out, from AFP: "A flurry of national polls suggests McCain's tactics are working. Both an NBC/Wall Street Journal survey and a CBS/New York Times poll Wednesday found McCain had cut Obama's poll leads in half, with the race pegged at 45-42 percent to the Democrat. So the race appears to be a statistical tie before the Democratic convention in Colorado next week and the Republican jamboree in Minnesota the week after. Things also appear to be tightening in the key battlegrounds, with McCain up slightly in poll averages in Ohio, Colorado, Virginia, and Florida, and Obama leading in Minnesota and Michigan."

Your thoughts, please...

Obama: there will always be bad people and good people

Ahead of time, sorry, known to be a rotten speller.

To think we live in a world where peace can prevail is nonsense. There will always be bad people and good people. Bottom line, we are a free nation because of our military strength, without it, well, I wouldn't want to think about it.

September 11th, is not something that should be brushed under the rug and ignored (but lately, it seems to be taboo to mention our loved ones who have died at the mercy of such radical enemies/bad people). Screw the politically correct view! We need a president black or white who has absolutely no implication/ties with these types of radical bad people. Obama--- OMG!!!! His name itself is a slap in the face. For me, it brings to mind associations to those who flew into our twin towers. And his middle name...don't get me started. Yeah, your damn right I'm concerned.

Wake up people. Don't forget Sept 11th. I don't care what political party you stand for...this is beyond political democrat or republican parties. This is about protecting our long fought for FREEDOM & keeping our nation safe! Think real hard before you elect someone with afiliations to radical idiots---did you see his preacher (reverse descrimination)????? What a nut! No more radical idiots please! And Obama, please stop backing away/hiding from who you really are, who you have afiliated yourself with before in your past. Is there anyone out there awake??? September 11, is fresh in my memory!!!!!!

obama/biden

Looks like 4 more years of the same. A vice president running the show because the president doesn't have a clue.
