The Gallup daily tracking poll showed Barack Obama and John McCain tied at 44 percent Friday for the third time in two weeks.

The poll shows two socialists neck and neck. Whoopdeedooo!!!!

McCain has yet to break 50%, or even 49% in a poll heads up against the Obamao.

Actually, it shows two people neck and neck until you discount the over sampling of Dems and subtract the Bradly effect from Obama’s numbers. Obama is hurting bad and he knows it, hence the attack on Corsi’s book. He doesn’t have anything else to fall back on. He is going to lose in November by about 10 points. Like it or not McCain is going to be President and you had better be glad because if Obama happens to get elected you will become a slave very quickly.

Right, and just when has Obama cracked 50 percent? Over sampling and the Bradly effect show that Obama is way behind McCain. I would bet that the internals of the Obama campaign have them sh***** bricks. Hence the all out attack on Corsi's book and the left wing rumor that Corsi is a 9/11 truther.

A little historical perspective is in order.

July 26, 1988 .... Dukakis Lead Widens, According to New Poll .... In the aftermath of the Democratic National Convention, the party's nominee, Michael S. Dukakis, has expanded his lead among registered voters over Vice President Bush, the probable Republican nominee, according to a Gallup Poll. ... Fifty-five percent of the 948 registered voters interviewed in the poll said they preferred to see Mr. Dukakis win the 1988 Presidential election, while 38 percent said they preferred to see Mr. Bush win. The poll had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus four percentage points.

Obama has been getting a Lewinski from an adoring liberal news media 24/7 for weeks and he is now tied with McCain.

By historical polling standards, Obama is toast.

[Maelstorm]

He will. McCain if he plays his cards right will totally destory Obama if he keeps his base in tact. We ain’t seen nothing yet. I’ve even heard that Obama may choose John Kerry for VP. Wouldn’t that be a delight?

[ncalburt]

Thank YOU. These Obama Collaborators are beyond irrational .
They are verging on a form of insanity. They actually want a radical Marxist and his fellow radicals to WIN and take over the FBI, Justice Dept, Supreme Court, FCC, CIA ,and SEC. Obama and his fellow Marxists will change the federal voting laws to allow same day registration nationwide and then give 30 million illegals instant voting rights and eliminate the GOP in one quick sweep. Then they will shut down the internet and talk radio and left the Obama mass media regain its former power in order to peddle socialism on the 24 /7 cable crap. That is the plan McCain haters in a nutshell. Are you with the Obama drones ,the enemy or US ???

Dick Morris talked about the strategy behind McCain’s Campaign, namely that McCain is aiming for the Independents and relying on the Republican Base allowing him to move in that direction.

Not a bad strategy, in a year where Republicans are down against the Dhimmis, but there will be “flak o’ plenty” incoming.

McCain if he plays his cards right will totally destory Obama if he keeps his base in tact

That's why he'll be making a huge mistake if he picks Lieberman or Ridge for VP

[ncalburt]

Those two VP options are just a PR trick to keep the lefty DC media happy to report and to keep McCain’s name in the news cycle . There real candidate name will be a surprise .

When real, stop and think Americans go into the privacy of the voting booth are they really going to vote for some effete, egotistical, narcissistic, sissy boy, jug eared, do nothing, less than a man, fey fop?

I don't think so. I hope Americans are more realistic and survival orientated enough to vote for realism, sanity and pragmatism rather than a bunch of phony “change”, meaningless, glib cliches and food stamp, black racist baloney.

[kempo]

And the Clintons are high 5-ing each other behind closed doors and telling everyone I told you so.

‘I would bet that the internals of the Obama campaign have them sh***** bricks”

Frankly, I’d prefer to have them sh****** wolverines.

[Sadie5]

I’m sure we will all be delighted and laughing our a**es off when the two go head to head in the debates. Without a telepromter and McCain getting the first questions Obama will stutter and stammer and blame those nasty old Republicans for his lack of debate readiness. seriously the guy is addle brained without a teleprompter.

[Neu Pragmatist]

You are right . If the past is any indicator , the Dim will consistently outpoll the Repub with the end result of the Repub winning , rarely are they tied . Bad news for Barry O .

If they do, I’ll be President!

Great summary of the worst case scenario. On the positive side, an Obama defeat would probably be the end of the Democratic party as we know it. I've seen quite a few African American posters on other sites warn, if Obama don't win, they'll never vote for a white again.

This is a direct threat to all the Hillary supporters that are threatening to walk.

I'm not that enthusiastic for McCain, but I'll be voting against Obama ... by voting for McCain ...

[calex59]

Frankly, I’d prefer to have them sh****** wolverines.

Ok, and as I spit beer all over my computer can you tell me exactly why wolverines?

[diamond6]

If McCain picks a pro-abort for a VP, I fear for this country!
