Well, none of us have much confidence in the Zogby polls, either at the state or national levels. But it is interesting to note that a number of his final state polls have shown movement in McCain's direction, which sharply contrasts his national poll which suggests a huge Obama blowout.

The poll also found McCain slightly edging Obama in North Carolina and holding about a 5 point lead in traditionally GOP Indiana.

But forget about the polls folks - get out and vote for John McCain and Sarah Palin!

Yep, Zogby always seems to make his last polls more realistic to save his reputation.

Nice movement, but it's too little, too late.

The undecideds make their choice on the Saturday night before the election. They get out a beer and say, "Who would I rather watch on TV for the next four years?" Obama is the guy they want to have a beer with, not a squeaky old man. Sarah might have been a second thought versus listening to lying Biden or witchy Michelle, but the smooth-talker has won out over the straight-talker.

When all things are equal (or pretty level), style will win out over substance, youth over old-age, and humor over seriousness. McCain never had a chance.

For whatever reason, America seems content on giving socialism a chance.

Indoctrination of it in our schools is the reason why. Said it a million times and will say it a million more...we need at least 1,000,000 school teachers and professors over the next 10 years to counter this with a moderate to conservative lean or we can forget about the Republic forever.

in the meantime, conservatives need to pull their children out of government schools... i know, i know, everybody here lives in neighborhoods with outstanding government schools...

Obama is American Idol, Coca-Cola, MTV, and Madison Avenue all wrapped up into one. When a human being has his own logo it is more than likely people will follow it in greater numbers. People trust name brands and Obama became a name brand. The GOP needs to literally reformat from now until 2010...the old guard has to step aside and the new guard has to be given the chance to run with the message.

I was no fan of McCain but the man is a true hero, this was his shot, and his stamina was incredible to the very end. However, his refusal to run media against Rev.Wright, to call out Barney Frank, Dodd, Pelosi every speech, and to keep hammering away at the zero experience of Obama just might be the very nails that cost him this thing.

I am not saying it is over...I haven’t voted for McCain yet...will do so in 8 hours with my wife and 15 other family members that I know that are turning up for him. But, we need to recognize that America is filled with foolishness and short memories. No way this guy in 2004 ever stood a chance in the middle of the war on terror with the name of Barack Hussein Obama.

I actually had an 18 yr old tell me the other day that 9-11 was an event...just like WW2, Korean War, Vietnam, the space shuttles blowing up etc...these things happen and people move on and that Republicans have been living off of 9-11 for far too long and it was time to move on.

Of course this punk was in 6th grade when 9-11 happened and could only tell me how great it was when America came together and everyone liked eachother and that Obama is going to make that feeling happen every day now.

Yes...this is what these idiots think.

You are 100% correct. Homeschooling is rapidly becoming the answer.

If Obama pulls this off today...we might be seeing a threat to that even being allowed. He is such a nationalist, globalist, socialist...he just might have the power with Reid and Pelosi to outlaw anything he finds out of his power.

Pretty soon, the socialists wont let us pull our kids out of government schools. Remember Hillary’s claim that “it takes a village” to raise a child?

It’s been part of left-wing ideology for quite some time to pull children away from their parents. They want children to be educated only in government-run schools so that the government can control what the child is learning.

One of the things Karl Marx wrote about for communism to become a reality is that the family unit must be destroyed. Eventually, under communism, no marriage would be allowed at all.

Someone actually thinks Barack Hussein Obama is funny? He’s a typical socialist, unimaginative and programmed.

Same crap was said about Lamont v. Lieberman two years ago. I don’t think the American public is nearly as shallow as some “conservatives” seem to believe.

I don’t know why you posted this to me?!? No, I damn sure do not think there is anything in the world funny about Obama and I damn sure don’t know why you’d think that I think he’s funny!
