McCain Shredding Obama's Lead

Friday, October 31, 2008 8:04 AM

By: Dick Morris & Eileen McGann

Iraq isn't the only place where the surge seems to be working. John McCain's gains over the last five days are remaking the political landscape as Election Day approaches.

The double-digit leads Barack Obama held last week have evaporated, as all three of the top tracking polls (the most current and reliable measurements out there) show McCain hot on Obama's heels.

Zogby had Obama ahead by 12 points last week — now it's down to 4. His margin in the Rasmussen poll has dropped from 8 points to 3 in the last few days. Gallup shows only a 2-point difference.

In each news cycle, Obama is on the defensive — staving off accusations of closet socialism and trying to wriggle out of his once overt advocacy of income redistribution. "Spreading the wealth around" has become the anti-Obama slogan and might become the epitaph for his candidacy, just as "brainwashed" was for George Romney and "Where's the beef?" was for Gary Hart.

Then, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright's image is returning to haunt Obama. Yes, McCain refused to use the issue in his own campaign, but independent groups like goptrust.com are using funds from tens of thousands of individual donors to run ads featuring Wright and his relationship with Obama.

Just yesterday, a tape surfaced in which Obama described the Rev. Wright as "the best the black church has to offer."

Bring it on! we are going to win on November 4th. America does not want Marxism!

[scooby321]

Dick has been pretty right lately and pushed for the Ayers tape hard.

[Names Ash Housewares]

McCain will win.

FIGHT FOLKS

FIGHT!

[Genoa]

Iraq isn't the only place where the surge seems to be working.

ROTFL! Best lead I've seen in a while!

I would feel a lot better if Dick would say it was all over and McCain had no chance whatsoever.

That would guarantee a GOP victory of landslide proportions.

FIGHT!

Never has your political donation mattered more then this very minute.

DO IT!

[Braak]

We have to come up with a easy slogan for us to get through to the sheeple...

“Wealth ain’t Country Crock!”

For example?

[Yankee]

I pray the Mighty Mo has turned in McCain’s direction.

Just for good measure I’d like to see her sisters Iowa, New Jersey and Wisconson sailing in formation with Mighty Mo.

[massgopguy]

Polls should have to include Refusals. Add that percentage to McCain.

John McCain can feel it. You can tell by the way he is acting. Like there is an extra spring in his step.

[John W]

Now, I kind of feel good with Mrs. Morris’ name on this as well. I imagine she keeps him on a short leash, so to speak, when she is also listed.

[Loyolas Mattman]

Do it. That Wright ad is killer and you’ll have a stake in it. Send to the RNC too.

Last day of the month, Friday, payday, no excuses.

Time to CTC - Cut the check.

[Gulf War One]

John McCain can feel it. You can tell by the way he is acting. Like there is an extra spring in his step.

I can assure you it's that way at the campaign HQ as well. VERY upbeat.

[DB]

Things are pretty bad when we are all begging for McCain the insane to win...

I can’t stand the man.

Yet here I am praying he wins because the alternative is so much worse... Heck I even sent him some money which I thought was impossible...

And if he does win, it isn’t going to be any picnic for us conservatives...

Dig in, it’s going to be a long 4 years...

[Licensed-To-Carry]

All true about McCain, but the good news is...........

Now we got Sarah.

Can't wait to see her kick Nancy Pelosi's butt at the first SOU address.

[Names Ash Housewares]

The Wright ads serve as powerful reminders.
People got used to it, then forgot, the MSM and Obama sure will not bring it up.

Reminding them of that pox on Obama is critical and with his socialism exposed now it is a killer!

DONATE PEOPLE

I implore every Freeper do this today.

Whatever you can.

And then think if you can do more.

I must be able to look myself in the mirror and know I gave the best fight I could.

[rashley]

Donated last night. McCain’s not going to do it, the media certainly won’t; so if we want Americans to know about the great threat 0 poses to our way of life, and get that message out in the waning days of this election season, we must support this group.

[ohiogrammy]

Saw Sarah on Wed., she is great, she commands an audience and will be a great VP. I too was not a McCain person, loved Thompson and moved to Romney, but the Lord gave us this man for a reason. Perhaps in four years it will be Sarah’s turn and another conservative. We must pray and beat this man who will utterly destroy AMerica.
