Polls can be manipulated to provide whatever outcome is desired.
"McCain, endorsed by U.S. President George W. Bush, fares poorly against Clinton and Obama among Americans who disapprove of the president and Americans opposing the war, The Washington Post said." That line says it all. So many Americans have an outright hatred of G.W.Bush and that fact alone appears to be driving their decisions.
The Dem's. talk of "change"...but really do not explain exactly what that means... One is left to draw their own conclusions on that. I hope the definition comes soon from both Clinton and Obama.

This is like rock, paper scisors. Hillary can beat Obama, Obama can beat McCain, but McCain can beat Hillary.

It really doesn't matter which of the three has to run against the other. All are in the pockets of special interest, belong to the CFR, they are just three faces of the same coin. Go ahead and vote because you really never had a choice of who to vote for. They are hand picked and the the winner has been decided. Doesn't matter one whit since none know crap about the economy, the real world problems we face, and will just continue the downward slide Le Muffette has started.
So go ahead and fuss, yell, degenerate into frothing at the mouth slaves, neg each other. Nothing is going to change. We've been sold a bill of goods and once again have the choice between the lesser of two evils. Let me remind you that the lesser of two evils, is still evil.

With a fresh new Bush endorsement, it's gotta be all uphill, with a 99% grade.
Watch this snippet of Bush / McCain memorabilia:

McCain needed to distance himself from the stench of Bush. The kooky ole fellow just can't make good decisions.
What part of "everyone thinks Bush is a horrible President" doesn't he understand? Unless he's listening to the 20% of the repugnates that are in denial.

As soon as Hillary and Barry get themselves sorted out and can turn their attention to their REAL enemy, they will doubtless start bringing up John's record. And asking him to define what his platform is TODAY. And would he like some syrup with his waffles? Remember what happened to John Kerry when HE got that treatment? It didn't work out so well. So far, I expect to be writing in Ron Paul. NONE of the other three is fit, in my opinion.
If the Republicans REALLY wanted to win in '08, they SHOULD have actually supported Dr. Paul. If they had even entertained the idea of doing a little public education on the actual issues, and pointed out that Dr. Paul is likely the only one running who is really TRUSTWORTHY (AND qualified), I think he could have won on the issues. He isn't the cheerleader/orator that people seem to like though. As though saying something louder, with enthusiasm and a big smile is REALLY a measure of suitability -- or ability.

Some of you may have missed this in another post, but the "anti-Lobbyist" McCain has an adviser who is an Uber-Lobbyist:
Charles R. Black Jr., is chairman of one of Washington's lobbying powerhouses, BKSH and Associates. One of Black's clients is United Technologies .

Has anyone thought about the tirades Hillary had while in the White House? The things missing when they left and the "B"s missing from computor key boards? " How Petty"!!! This is only a few of her "Qualities". Read the book, " The Real Hillary".Bantam books. The secret service Hated her and her temper. Her arrogance scares the hell out of me!Check the past, present and future of each candidate to get an accurate picture of each person! You will be surprised!! Before you vote take the time to read as many different opinions as you can, to get a better picture of all the candidates!! Believe me, Its an eye opener and only takes some of your time! I am still researching all 3 candidates, so I can make an intelligent choice. Do not choose by party,sex,color,or religion. Choose by knowing the candidates and who they really are, and what they stand for, and do it on your own!! Thanks

Hillary's supporters having been telling us to vote for her because she is more electable. Now we see a real poll and Obama has twice the lead over McCain that Hillary has.... It would be funny if the super delegates pushed Hillary in and she lost.... It is the Republicans only hope.

think we get Osama Obama. He will enable alqueda to chop our heads off. Or another thing we will get Hillary's National Health Care. Please I am disabled and have enough trouble with social security/Medicare. I really wanted Romney, who spoke marvelously for conservatism but he did that dumb act like a middle of the roader deal. His final speech to the public was marvelous. I think Romney didn't show his conservative colors enough.
