A New York Times blogger discovers the news is not good for John McCain in Colorado Springs, where a lifelong Republican on the city council says she is abandoning her party’s nominee to vote for Barack Obama this year. Further endangering McCain’s prospects in Colorado’s largest Republican stronghold, the pastor who replaced former GOP heavyweight Ted Haggard leading one of the city’s largest mega-churches is staying on the sidelines, urging his flock to vote “for any political party.”
Seattle-based Timothy Egan visited Colorado Springs, dubbed “the Vatican of evangelical political power,” after the second presidential debate and comes to one conclusion: “My friends: it’s not good for Senator McCain.”

My brother inlaw says that the springs has been flooded with Californians..fleeing the ship they have been drilling holes in for years...
The Independent is a leftwing weekly throwaway rag.
Don’t worry about El Paso County/Colorado Springs. We’ll be in the right column on Election Day.
LOL, nice report. Little parakeets throughout the area will be doing the right thing to this paper’s headlines tonight.
I would hardly say she was ever a McCain supporter or supporter of anything sane.
Yes, and I love the handle.
Another RINO surfaces in conservative Colorado Springd! Vote her out!
With this much free fertilizer, you should have very green yards next spring.
And hot is cold, and good is evil. When did Obama ever espound tax cuts or small government?
Now up to 20 ...
1) “Polls” that show Obama ahead tell a different story when internals are studied.
2) Hillary and Bill don’t want Obama to win, since she wants to run again in 2012
3) “Hussein” being Obama’s middle name is still news to most people.
4) A picture of Obama dressed as a Muslim (there are at least three) is still worth 1000 words (3000 in this case). Man your email station! Post bills!
5) The PUMAs who know the hows and whys of Hillary getting cheated, will vote Palin, and will pull others.
6) “Bitter ... [Gun Clingers]”, will vote McCain
7) The Palins ARE America and the conservative base. America and the conservative base will vote accordingly.
8) The NRA has “8 figures” of ads to unload in “swing” states
9) Obama is only 5 points up in New York! New York!
10) The Democrats were talking about Democratic consultants freaking out over Obama mis-managing his campaign before they settled into poll alteration.
11) The Enemedia is already spreading the meme that if Obama loses, it “is racism”. They see the tea leaves ...
12) The Media was calling the election for Kerry ELECTION MORNING in 2004, and Carter and Reagan polled evenly on election day! Also, www.InTrade.com had Kerry as an 80/20 favorite on election morning 2004. SOMEONE is trying to buffalo us!
13) McCain has not yet played either the Jeremiah Wright card nor the Tony Rezko card!
14) Plenty of white Democratic voters are unimpressed with Obama, and will not vote for him. Democrats can’t energize their base!
15) Obama has only 60% of the Jewish vote, compared to the 75% Kerry got.
16) The Christian base that re-elected Bush in 2004, knows Sarah is more than a Sunday Christian, and is praying for her.
17) McCain opened 50 offices in California. It’s in play!
18) Google “Bradley Effect”. Obama is getting poll votes he’ll never get on election day.
19) Operation Chaos resulted in an overlarge quantity of Democrat registrations that will never ever vote Democratic.
20) Polls are meant by the liberal media, to SHAPE public opinion, not report it.
Thanks. By the way...I think I’ve ony shared this once before, but the reason I chose this nick is because of the ballot fraud that was happening when the ‘rat machine was trying to steal the election in Florida.
That is when I decided to start FReeping.
Those women in MN. must all be blonds, or vegans.
If you took the heads of research from their two firms and asked them if they were right (and assured them that you would not rat them out), they would admit that, this year, their equations are more guesses than anything else. If you asked them if they could tell you what white, upper-middle class voters who are a little older are going to do, they would say “absolutely.” If you look at the internals in both polls, they demonstrate a decided shift in that group toward the Democrats.
What other groups are doing is anyone's guess. But in that particularly group, even in the South and Appalachia, the shift has occurred.
The data is there, it is accurate and it is clear.
This does not mean that it is final, but short of some type of miracle things are not good within that group.

The people have got a clue, but the erudite, albeit
indoctrinated media are still under the spell of
their marxist drive by education.
They cannot understand that education happens. Thank
God for the internet. Now plain “folk” can actually
think and make informed decisions all by their little
ol’ selves. It will be difficult, but I’m sure the
media will eventually come to terms with the fact that
they are no longer relevant.
Joe Lieberman, the Democrat nominee for Vice-President in 2000, is actively campaigning for McCain.
But, that don’t mean nothing to the Libs or the MSM.
Obammie makes her get all tingly “down there.”
I agree with your assertion that McCain has made a mistake in not promoting Conservative solutions to Liberal problems. As predicted, running as a “moderate” would be his demise.
The Democrats usually benefit during the early stages of any crisis; true Republicans will eventually clean up the mess and get some credit...until complacency sets in and it starts all over again.
Republicans rid themselves of RINOs, thank goodness. Whatever it takes.
