Obama 50%, McCain 43% (Obama +5 since Friday)

Don't worry about the polls please. There is no doubt that Obama enjoyed a nice momentum shift during September and is probably up nationally between 3-5%.
We are now entering a momentum shift of our own during the final stretch and we will peak at the perfect time. McCain team is finally on the attack, Palin now has credibility after a fantastic debate performance, and we have plenty of 527s that are ready to unload.
Lets get to work!
Indeed.
Another America-hater for 0bama, I see.
Today, it's politically correct to say you're for Oboma to avoid being tagged a "racist", but once your in the voting booth, you can freely express yourself without politically correct intimidation.
This is a troll if there ever has been none. IBTZ.
He’s preparing for the debate.
McCain has nothing to lose but go negative.
It starts tomorrow night. We will know .
Are you remembering that all of the oversight agencies are in the executive branch controlled by a Republican President? No, the "people" were indeed "set up", but it was done in a "bipartisan" way.
The only difference is Bush had a good economy in '04. Today, it's collapsing as we type.
Me to, but Obama is alleged to have large illegal contributions, and given what I know about the likes of Soros and Buffet and the mentality of leftists who have no regard for rules for themselves, I’m inclined to believe it.
One thing’s for sure. An Obama win will translate into a Republican Congress in 2010 when the voters finally realize Obama’s a leftist.
The central question is this, and I am not sure that GOPers want to face it: Americans all over the country are asking what is the justification for electing John McCain president? With the economy in the toilet, unemployment up and the GOP in charge of the White House, those Americans that rarely watch politics except for every four years are not seeing a reason to vote for the GOP ticket, not with the world around them so uncertain. And, I might add that voting for Sarah Palin or against Barack Obama isn’t good enough to win the argument. In such an anti-GOP environment, I would argue that John McCain has done probably about as well as any GOPer could do this cycle. Regretfully, his best isn’t good enough to win, imo. When our best argument is ‘look at the polling breakdown of Dems vs. GOPers’ you know that our side is in trouble. Obama is making mince meat of McCain and of the GOP.

Let me add, that I will never give up on McCain. I will fight for him and Palin to the bitter end. But, he really needs a solid economic plan.... badly.
“Did you ask President Kerry about the accuracy of the polls?”
This is subjective, but I don’t remember it ever seeming like a Kerry win was unavoidable. Without a big surprise, I can’t even imagine Obama losing.
I agree, and many like RAS had Bush in a landslide in 2000.
McCain has to go full barrels tomorrow night and change the game. The Bradley will give 3%, but not 8%
