No cliffhanger, more like an Obama landslide
No cliffhanger, more like an Obama landslide - US Election - smh.com.au
And some of you guys would have us believe that his support is dwindling. Hahaha! That's what happens when you believe everything you see on TV. Didn't your parents warn you about that? Believe nothing that you hear and half of what you see?

I can only hope Obama wins the election. Too many important issues riding on this impending election, and although I respect John McCain, the US can't take another 4 years of disastrous foreign policy and paying out the nose, while Americans lose jobs and suffer.

Write this on the wall so you won't forget it. If Obama becomes president, even you won't like it before his only term is over.
I expect to see bumper stickers with the message "Don't blame me! I didn't vote".

Today's RCP average is Obama 46.5, McCain 43.3 - and the graph points downward for Obama and up for McCain. ;)

Most indications we have point to Obama winning the election if held today. I suspect the same will be true in November especially after we get past a few debates. Just a correction to make concerning my earlier posting on the RCP: actually it was yesterday's (7/27) RCP average that had Obama at an 3.2 advantage, but that poll didn't reflect the newest data from the Gallup. In other words, every poll used in the RCP formula since 5/01/08 (BTW over twenty polls used in the past months) has Obama in a lead with the momentary exception of the USA Today/Gallup poll that posted yesterday toward the average.
On Politics - Breaking News, Election 2008 & Presidential Candidates
"The USA TODAY/Gallup Poll is separate from Gallup's daily "tracking" poll on the presidential race, which this afternoon shows Obama ahead by 8 points among registered voters -- 48%-40%.
Frank says that while the tracking poll indicates Obama may have gotten some gains from his overseas trip last week, any benefits may be short-lived. That tracking poll of 2,674 registered voters was also done Friday-Sunday and the margins of error on the results are +/- 2 percentage points.
As for the difference between the tracking and USA TODAY/Gallup polls, Frank says not to read too much into it. "Statistical noise" may be largely to blame."
But did not include Gallup's daily update that reflects, as of today (7/28), Obama's eight point lead: Gallup.com.

Polls tend to influence weak minded people who can't make up their own minds, and smart pollsters know how to ask the questions to get the results they want. I know that's not true 100% but I dislike the polls either way because there are too many people who vote a certain way "because most other people are voting that way". That's a really poor reason.
