On a day when McCain makes another one of his daily gaffes, and trails Obama in the polls, this kind of stuff seems so incredibly phony.
Re: polls, saw the one with registered voters ( http://s.wsj.net/public/resources/documents/WSJ_NBC_SURVEY_June2008.pdf )- come back when they have one with likely voters. Dems have traditionally shown best to worst, in order, with polls of adults, then registered voters, then likely voters. Guess which one does the best job predicting electoral results?
And of course that’s a generic national poll that is not even getting into the EC, which is of course the only thing that matters in a presidential election. It’s also far too early in the campaign - you shouldn’t worry too much about polls done prior to the conventions…
BTW, aren’t you worried that Obama isn’t doing as well as he “should” be doing, given how the nameless GOP candidate polls against the nameless Dem candidate? Just as a general trend, the Obamessiah seems to have problems with Jews (thanks Rev. Wright!), white women overall (thanks Hillary!) and working class male Democrats…
Also, re: the “gaffe,” you’re not referring to the one Kerry tried to point out, are you? ( http://www.johnmccain.com/mccainreport/Read.aspx?guid=8f9f3bc9-aa3a-4aa0-8d05-f1b10d008594 ; Speaking of confusion...[UPDATED] - POLITICO )

I forget that polls with Obama ahead surely mean good news for McCain, my bad.
No, not good for McCain - just worthless… which I’m sure you knew…
It’s easy to forget that only a few months ago, we were assured of two things: Hillary would be the Democratic nominee and Iraq was lost. Both of those are obviously wrong - don’t count those chickens before they’ve hatched…[/quote]
And as you know what I’m constantly battling in here is the retarded mentality that “Obama has no chance in PA”
In addition anytime the most liberal and blackest man in the senate is leading in the polls, that’s should be considered a good thing for said liberal black man. I seem to remember a lot of old white guys doing it before, but not so many liberal black guys.
