Republicans like Sen. Barack Obama nearly as much as they like their own likely presidential nominee, Sen. John McCain, according to a new Fox 5/The Washington Times/Rasmussen Reports poll.

LOL, that reminds me of the news coverage after a shooting or sudden jihad syndrome event. Everyone is shocked, he seemed so nice.
And what about after Obama assumes the Presidency? What will the union people and "working families" say after Obama raises their taxes to the limit?
What will people wanting "change" say when that change alters the power balance in the world for the worse?
He seemed so nice.
I do fear it will be a long time coming. One only has to look at how willing the sheeple are to accept GOREBAL Warning as truth and allow the government to tax the piss out of us and regulate business to death to reverse something that probably is either irreversible or never existed in the first place.
It will take a long time before that mentality, the nanny-state mind set, is flushed from the population.
Any person IDing themselves as republicans for Obama are NOT conservatives. They are the new McCain Liberal RINO members of the former republican party.
Idiots.
What does that say about how Republicans feel about McCain. Maybe we’re look at this all wrong. Nearly 75% of Republicans DON’T find McCain most likable.
I agree, this does not pass the smell test. This sounds like they polled Bloomberg “Republicans” in New York.
Doesn't matter how they 'feel' - it says they are idiots. They are either extremely liberal and shouldn't be registered as Republicans at all, or they are too stupid to look at the two candidates' records and understand that Obama is WAY more liberal than McCain ever thought of being.
Either way, they are morons.
I don’t believe it. Sorry.
Well, then Republicans are idiots.
McCain is rank, but Obama is much much worse.

Ok, _ell just froze over — I voted for Hillary. I saw a very interesting scenario at my polling place in this HIGHLY Republican county. The polling place was separated into two sides: obviously Democrat and Republican. There was a LONG line at the Democrat table and the poor Republican guys at the Republican table were twiddling their thumbs. This could mean one of two things: 1) Republicans aren’t voting in the primary because they aren’t excited about John McCain and/or 2) There are a LOT of us voting in the Democrat primary. For some reason they had only 2 voting machines on the Democrat side and they had 4 machines set up on the Republican side. The machines on the Repub. side were not being used so I asked if I could use one of those machines. They said I had to use the voting machines on the Democrat side even there were 4 voting machines open on the other side of the room. POLITICS!
I’m not surprised. There isn’t that much different between the two and the GOP has become Dem-lite. If they were companies, the Dems would just buy the GOP and cut costs.
Yes, and Slick Willy was likable. Being likable and someone you could vote for are two different things.
I'll be doing the same. I cannot believe it, but I'll be voting for the beast.
This poll is BS. The media is full of social engineers who trying to manipulate public opinion. The days when they actually reported the news is long gone.
