Palin and Gustav pretty much whiped him off the front pages before the webpages could post...

Tough luck...

Thanks for posting this. It shows that sometimes, you guys are fair. Great news.

Neither candidate can get above 50%. This is just the latest installment to show that this race will go to the wire.

All the silly pronouncements from the DR Left that it's all over but the Asccension of the Messiah to His Throne is just wishful thinking, and underestimating Republicans.

And we all know how wishing served you so well in 2000 and again in 2004.

It's starting. McCain faced 3rd and 18, threw deep, connected, and now has the momentum. And with America's stadiums devoted to football, and not politics, Obama doesn't have anymore Sermons on the Mount planned.

Uh huh.

Scroll down the Zogby page to the "Four Way Horserace".

This is a 'Flash Poll'. Dems and Republicans were equally weighted, where in reality Dems hold a double digit lead in party ID.

Also, the Palin pick was like getting laid for the first time unexpectedly by a clingy chick. You're all excited. As reality settles in the coming days I think you're going to find it was a horrible choice for McCain to have made. I feel a tad sory for him....ah, not really. He made his bed.....

Awe. Well, better let you feel the sunshine for a couple of days (disregarding the Gallup and Rasmussen polls) The storm will be here soon enough.

And then there's Gustav - which will be a psychological reminder of the utter failure of the past 8 years....

I'm promising right now to not gloat too much when Obama wins this election.

There is little, if any way, Nobama will be taking home the trophy. America is just not ready for a black president. Sure they may say they are because it is very PC to do so. But when it comes down to it, we will be paying McCain & Palins checks.

Besides, Who's VP face do you want to look at for the next four years?

The one who can run the country. You ever heard they have porn on computers or in every corner store? Try that guy.

I want a VP who can fill the shoes. I don't care what he/she looks like.

Exactly. Biden is set in his ways. Palin is fresh new and perfect for the job. She is going to be great.

My neighbor across the street is pretty hot. She was village mayor of a town about the size of Wissila. She'd be a 'fresh face' as would 180,000,000 others in America who are old enough.

Do I want her for VP?

BWAAAAAAA

Trust me my friend, anyone is going to be better than Biden. The Dems made a big mistake in choosing Nobama. This country will never vote him in. He is unqualified and arrogant. A token offering. Hell, I have heard it said he just wants to get even. There is only one person who has had ANY experience in the Executive Branch. And she isnt on the Dems ticket.

(what is bwaaaa?)

BWAAAAAAAA is a very loud guffaw - burst of laughter

You just keep repeating your "Obama's going to lose" mantra if it makes you feel better. I worry for your mental health on November 5th though (the day after)

Thanks for your concerns, but you may want to consider keeping yourself ready as well. The Dems have a habit of tripping over their own tails at the end.

===============

RiR...BO's trick play...BO should return (JMC) the favor on the day after the convention closes... BO should make a cabinet announcement...a strong QUALIFIED choice that would change the news cycle for days, rally the party and contrast JMC (judgment) choice of SP

BC ...Secretary of State!

BC needs BO in the WH. NFW.

Not THIS time. McCain just shot himself in the foot, but the shock of his impulsive act is keeping the pain from rising for a few days.

Gustav will also be a psychological reminder of the incredible failures of Bush - who McCain wants to emulate - such as Katrina and Iraq.

And the guy who's, in the words of the righties, an "empty suit" has been leading someone who most of America knows all election.

A 'Flash Poll' is meaningless. Perhaps McCain gets a couple points bounce that shows up the next day or two, but once Palin's presumptive nomination is scrutinized in the glaring light of thousands of journalists for the utterly impulsive and horrible decision it was, she and McCain are toast.

ok. you have convinced me. I am now a dem. thanks, and good night

Mission Accomplished !!!!

LOL

Off topic: I'm not sure - I recently moved to SE Houston and 1 thing I keep hearing is that the prep for Gustav is waaaayyyy better in TX and LA than Katrina. And people seem to be attributing it to the feds. While it does remind people of the disaster of the Katrina response, it also gives the Bush Admin a chance to show TX and LA how much improved they've gotten. And, like it or not, they'll get the credit if the response goes well, just as they got the blame in 05. Anyways, just a little anecdotal story for you! :)

On topic: You're right, I think. While Zogby does a decent poll usually, this is just a spot poll and really doesn't tell us anything (do they ever?)

I'm very glad Bush got the fed's act together for this one. That's what we've done for decades since the formation of FEMA. Katrina was only another in a long line of even more powerful hurricanes - Andrew and Camille, to name two - that the federal government handled with aploomb, resources, and most of all competence.

Katrina was yet another in a long line of glaring mismanaged events including the decision to invade Iraq, deregulate the banking and financial industries as it did, and fail to rise to basic levels of oversight and pragmatism that we've expected from our government since at least WW2.

The fact that the same 'pre-disaster declaration' issued for Gustav issued for Katrina has resulted in the expected competent response we expect when a declaration like that is issues - the fed takes over all areas of managing pre, concurrent, and post disaster preparations and relief efforts is a welcome relief after 7 1/2 years of dismal governance.

Why McCain wishes to be a third Bush term can only be explained by a late-life crisis by McCain, and the ensuing wish to fufill a lifelong dream. This time, however, too much is at stake to let Johnny play with a country as deeply troubled as America is right now in too many areas. His pick of Palin only reinforces the fact that this man cannot be trusted to run the world's remaining (for now) superpower.

We need the best and the brightest America has to offer. This year that choice is clear in Obama and Biden and a team of brilliant, principled, pragmatic minds.

You are way too fried to acknowledge the truth! "McBush" is obviously smarter. He just shitted all over Obama's convention "bump" with a brilliant pick.

On the bright side, you have another pending natural disaster and possibly more casualties to use for insincere political fodder and at least four years and four months of reasons to toke up and bitch in complete and obscure anonymity :)

Life is grand isn't it???

Umm . . . what the hell are you talking about? The feds showed up FASTER after Katrina than they did for Andrew and Ivan.

You'll believe anything you see on TV. Weird. Why not ask someone who's here, instead of some guy they fly in from MSNBC in Washington? Why is Bobby Jindal now governor of Louisiana?

"He (McCain) just shitted all over all over Obama's convention bump...."

Rasmussen showed a three point advantage to Obama post convention, and that remains unchanged.

Now, if that does change, you can get the information the same place I do. I won't even have to announce it.

Palin looks like Gidget. She'll help McCain with the Moondoggie vote.

RightWingers, are you all dizzy yet? Cause you've been spinning like a whirling dervish ever since Palin was tapped a couple of days ago.

This is as close as McCain will get. Enjoy--it is his high water mark.

Rasmussen has Obama up 49% to McCain's 46%. Gallup gives Obama an even greater lead.

This is as close as McCain will get. Enjoy--it is his high water mark.

LOL! Yes, a couple of days after the Democratic Convention usually marks the Republicans "high water mark". LOL!

I guess Barack is trying to match "Kerry's" performance...

Historic Convention Bounces in the Gallup Poll, 1964-2000

2004 Kerry -1 GW Bush +2
2000 Gore +8 GW Bush +8
1996 Clinton +5 Dole +3
1992 Clinton +16 GHW Bush +5
1988 Dukakis +7 GHW Bush +6
1984 Mondale +9 Reagan +4
1980 Carter +10 Reagan +8
1976 Carter +9 Ford +5
1968 Humphrey +2 Nixon +5
1964 Johnson +3 Goldwater +5

FJ: You are the desperados posting threads titled "Zogby: McCain up by 2". LOL

How true!

Dreamin, nothing but dreamin.

It will be a crashing sweep with baghdad bob not even taking his own state.

Good-bye convention bounce...

A CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll released Sunday night shows the Obama-Biden ticket leading the McCain-Palin ticket by one point, 49 percent to 48 percent, a statistical dead heat.

The survey was conducted Friday through Sunday, after both the conclusion of the Democratic convention and McCains selection of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate.

A previous CNN poll, taken just one week earlier, suggested the race between Sens. McCain, R-Arizona, and Obama, D-Illinois, was tied at 47 percent each.

Palin and Gustav pretty much whiped him off the front pages before the webpages could post...

Tough luck...

ff...gee I thought McCain was just throwing the election before it even got started with this "choice":>)
