Obama Stretches on McCain

Obama stretches on McCain.

After several months of a virtual tie, Sen. Barack Obama has begun to surge past his Republican rival, Sen. John McCain. The latest Associated Press poll shows that the thin man from Illinois is really beginning to strike a cord with his message of change. Obama now has a 7-point margin among likely voters, the poll reveals. The shift is notable, given that the two men have been shadowing each other in polls even before their respective party conventions. Until now – as the public is bombarded with news of a financial tsunami, rising job losses and an intra-Republican implosion ignited by a vice presidential candidate who daily provides late-night comedians with enough material for a lifetime – Obama and McCain have traded skimpy 1- to 3-point leads that fall within the margin of error. And aside from his 48 -to 41 lead, Obama is pummeling McCain in several key battleground states, such as Florida, Iowa, Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania. The Associated Press reports that Republican leaders are beginning to bend McCain’s ear over concerns that his candidacy could be dissolving. On the other hand, Democrats are expressing optimism that Obama’s 7 points could swell in coming weeks as Nov. 4 gets closer. “We have a light optimism,” said David Redlawsk, a delegate to the Democratic National Convention who teaches political science at the University of Iowa. “We’ve already learned in the last several weeks that we can be whipsawed back very, very quickly.”

A very simple.. ‘EQUATION’.. “NO AMERICAN ECONOMY” ..”EQUALS NO FOREIGN POLICIES”!!!!!!!!!!! America pays for everything in foreign affairs. This government pays for its.. “Friends’. And it pays a lot of money to nations from keeping its. ‘Foes’. From over running us.With out a strong American ecomony we can’t protect our sevles from phsical war not to mention econmical war. Because now we are in both the American people now we need to focus on the one at home .’The Economy’.that is the reason Mr Obama is going to win this Election Mr McCain is still stuck on and cares most about Foreign affairs.

man man Said on

david,

ain’t John McCain your daddy/grandpa…or is he your uncle/brother?



Mrs. Leo Said on

Its a shame that peole don’t want to see a change. Racism is still in the air..
You have some whites that refuse to see a black man become or be President. They can’t imagine having to take orders from what they call ” a spook”. I think John McCain is the AntiChrist. He will do more damage than Bush. Keep it real people!! Its time for a change.
Go Obama!!!



Anna Said on

EVERYTIME PALIN GIVES AN INTERVIEW OBAMA SAGOES UP A POINT, LET HER KEEP TALKING, GO SARAH!



mick Said on

I heard this and I want to know true or false? If true please let everyone know: Do not wear any Obama shirts,pins or hats to the polls on Nov.4th it’s considered campaigning:a law they’re counting on us not to be aware of…………So if this is TRUE please pass it on!



nicholas Said on

i am not voting for you



otimio vasquez Said on

you can wear any political shirt or pin as long as your not talking about voteing for a candidate, while your in the voteing room or line in other words go in and vote and get out and then you can talk about your candidate outside the voteing area after you have voted



Chaunyce Said on

OBAMA IS SMART AS HELL AND WILL NOT LET THAT OLD DUDE TAKE THE LEAD ….NO WAY ,NO HOW



Milly Mill Said on

i love the ideas that obama has in store for this country. McCain runs from the real issues surrounding how to handle world policies. He( McCain) is not for real. Vote for the real ! Obama is the real!
