DEMOCRATES GOT THIS SO WRONG THIS ELECTION YEAR! When all the benefits are with the Democrats this election, they selected the wrong candidate by a mile…

What would Clinton of added to the ticket? Apparently a WIN. Poll shows Obama loosing McCain by three points. If Clinton were at the top of the ticket, shows she would be leading McCain by eight and that two months after she ended her campaign. Since Obama continues to fall in polls. “BUYERS REMORSE”

Clinton was remarkable!!!! As expected the roaring Democratic convention audience at Denver's Pepsi Center greeted her like rock star and frequently drowned out her speech with long applause. The stakes for Clinton's speech could not have been higher. As she said we made 18 million historic cracks in the ceiling no one can argue she blew the ceiling off the Pepsi center.

The Gallup Organization yesterday reported McCain had a 2 percent lead on Obama, edging ahead of him for the first time since Clinton left the race. Obama's selection of Delaware Sen. Joseph Biden had gained him no "bounce" in the polls. Infact it underlines his inexperienced to lead.

Clinton herself now enjoys 87 percent approval ratings among Democrats, Gallup reported, and three out of four Democrats would like to see her as president and be a major-party spokeswoman over the next four years. Other polls continue to show that Clinton's supporters lukewarm in their support for Obama and the way his camp has treated Senator and President Clinton. Obama called Hillary Clinton, saying how grateful he was for her support, that she gave a terrific speech and that all those he watched it with were moved by her video and introduction from Chelsea. No matter how you choose to see her, She is tough, ready to lead immediately and very Presidential. As in the debates and even now, when you compare Obama to Clinton, he fails in comparison, No doubt the DNC gave the nomination clearly to the wrong candidate, we are seeing more and more each day, perhaps Obama is just cable news pundit made.. Bottom line, he has showed weakness not selecting her, and selecting Biden who got 9000 votes compared to her 18 million, since June 7, obama has accepted ALL of Clintons solutions during the primaries that he argued against, he specifically whined the entire primary as did the obamakins “ But she voted for the war” wa wa wa... SO DID JOE BIDEN! But she has been in Washington too long, that’s not change" wa wa wa... BIDEN has been in Washington much Longer... David Axelrod said Obama doesn’t need her supporters, then why are they begging for them now since he continues to fall in the polls daily.

Tabloid Cable media especially CNN ( Obama hired help)& MSNBC has frankly put the security of our great country at risk with an Obama coronation. It’s extremely concerning that so many Americans could care less about who their candidate really is?? He’s ½ black, lets make it happen???? Simply amazing and frankly scary.

I don't like Luntz, he is a spinner. He purposely put down Ron Paul in his focus groups during the GOP primaries , when clearly Ron Paul was the only one talking about cutting spending, reducing inflation etc...in fact, he was criticized for doing so. The establishment doesn't really want to give the public what they want. Down with Luntz.

Isn't Frank Luntz the guy who said you could get more people to increase the federal deficit by killing the estate tax if you call it the "death tax"? And you're implying that Luntz is a pollster gathering useful data? Like heck. Luntz is a spinner who wants to experiment with changing the questions rather than eliciting honest answers.
