Gallup Daily: Obama-Biden Ticket Leads by 6 Points

well atleast you cahange the comment up a small bit as you repost it everywhere

in my opinion at some point Obama has to 'come clean' with his supporters and say "hey people there will be no landslide, this thing will be "very close".

come clean? wth the hell you going off about this time.. what the hell does obama have to come clean about? and who cares if it is close.. he will win.
all the electorial map polls suggest otherwise.
but iI dont care if it is "close"
Like bush says.. even if obama gets less than 50% of the vote.. it is a clear mandate for change.. and he will have untold mountians of poltical capital to spend.

You just keep believing that Joules, Obama needs more people like you.

There are too many of his supporters who think this is a cakewalk and will be a landslide.

I'm sure there's some poeple out there talking landslide but I really don't think anyone expects a cakewalk for either side as we are in "new" territory with the demographic change.

However, I think the polls are misleading, but that's just my hunch.

The one thing that hasnt changed is well the polls havent changed much. However after both conventions there should be some movement one way or another. There are unknowns now that we havent had to deal with.

Will white america vote for an african american?

Will men vote for a woman ?

My opinion is that we really wont know until the morning after the election. The exit polls and primary polling were highly inaccurate. What peopl will do in teh privacy of a voting booth this year could lead to a lopsided victory for one candidate or the other.

But I am beginning to think the debates may be somewhat more critical than anyone initially thought.

I think that's why the mccain suppotters here ont he vine.. post the same comment in 50 threads.. rehash the same commetn tomorrow and post it in 50 threads
rehash and repeat
rehash and repeat
rehash and repeat
that's the lock step gop

To be fair on the hurricane, everyone is trying harder working longer and cooperating with each other like never before.

This is true from the Parish Sheriff to Mayor Nagin to Gov Jindal to President Bush. TX sent 6 C-130s to evacuate people, Amtrak loaded two full length passenger trains, Greyhound dispatched dozens of buses it has been a great effort. I'm sure we will see much more in the terrible aftermath.

The only criticism is that it took Katrina to get people to evacuate quickly, work together, and make every effort that Americans deserve from each other.

But Jedi....this is all well and good, but you are forgetting a key issue here.

If Bush and company would have addressed the biggest non-wartime disaster in US history correctly, (by putting forth max effort to ensure no more flooding), then no one would have to leave, or at least not two million people.

This is what the report should have sounded like:

'We expect some damage from high winds in the local area, but no flooding....'

Lots of cities have been hit by hurricanes. Usually they rebuild the wind damage within a few weeks or months.

Governor Blanco is at home, operation evacuation/support/water/food/Red Cross going like a Swiss clock, on time by Governor Jindal.

But Jedi....this is all well and good, but you are forgetting a key issue here.

Robert, as a Gulf Coast resident and Coast Guard veteran I have hashed and rehashed the spin that Bush destroyed New Orleans. The greatest loss was loss of life and that was a complete local failure to convey urgency and get people to evacuate. More than 22,000 people were rescued by the Coast Guard in the days immediately after landfall.

Having been through many hurricanes in many states and knowing very well how late Gov. Blanco was to declare a state of emergency and how Big and Easy Mayor Nagin was about taking any efforts to motivate his citizens to leave, you can see an unbelievably good contrast by todays efforts. Compounding the problem was the diversion of millions $$$ of levy funds for needs that were deemed more urgent for LA than a hurricane worthy levy system. Now with two major hurricanes LA will not divert the "extra" cash for other projects ever again.

I'll leave my comments at this, my opinions are based on a great deal of experience and your comments really miss the mark.

Rasmussen is the polling wing of the GOP just like FOX is their TV propaganda outlet and the Washington Times is their version of Pravda. None of them have a shred of credibility.

R Donald is right. And by the way, since I'm a book editor and all, I just HAD to point out something.

It's spelled McGovern. Big 'g' there. Newsvine would probably let you correct that, since it doesn't involve an actual name change.

I have to ask something else. This username of yours, I assume it means you DON'T want another McGovern repeat, right? I mean, we all know he got swept, etc. in 1972.

Okay...this also assumes you are rooting for the Democrats to win?

If so, why do you continually post up anti-Democratic stuff? That's your right, but with the username you selected, it's sort of confusing. And what will you do after November 4? Once the election is over, no matter who wins, that username will be useless.

I'll admit his username has me a bit confused too. Perhaps he/she means it as a backhanded slap at the Democratic party but expresses it poorly? I was too young to vote in 1972 when McGovern ran (16 years old), but gladly spent part of my more idealistic youth stuffing envelopes and handing out fliers from his Battle Creek MI headquarters. I think many people on the right use him and his name in derision without really knowing anything about him.
