Here is a poll statistic FWIW

I contributed $25 today to the McCain campaign.
I have never given 5 cents to a candidate before.

Guess they just can't massage those numbers any more.

I believe that trends are more important than actual numbers. And to be sure it's better to be leading than to be trailing. But isn't it a bit too soon to read much into these results?

It shouldn't be hard to manipulate a poll to show what you want... I wonder if they are trying to lower expectations so Obama can have a "bounce" coming out of his convention.

He'll have to, if he wants to be around for Election Day. Of course, he is a Chicago Democrat after all. They do have an astonishing power to raise the dead and get them to vote Democrat.

In all the discussion of John McCain's recently recovered memory of a religious epiphany in Vietnam, one thing has been missing. The torture that was deployed against McCain emerges in all the various accounts. It involved sleep deprivation, the withholding of medical treatment, stress positions, long-time standing, and beating. Sound familiar?

According to the Bush administration's definition of torture, McCain was therefore not tortured.

Points to note:
1) This is Zogby, which has been unreliable for some time now;
2) This may be part of massaging the numbers so as to make Obama look like he gets a bigger bounce from the convention than otherwise.

I'm already expecting a dead cat bounce from the Convention, but Obama really has to be concerned that things are as close as they are given that this should by all rights be a lock for the Democrats given the way the economy is, energy prices, and the general outlook on war. Yet, it would seem that the Left's lockbox on energy has turned the public against the Democrats. If you don't drill, you keep prices high, and people are recognizing the Democrats as being in favor of high prices. That's going to have some effect.

Oh, and Obama's flip-flopping ways, associations with terrorists, and other assorted unforced errors is having a cumulative effect. And not in a good way.

The undecideds coming home to roost.

I was listening to Hannity yesterday for a few minutes and he had someone on who was talking about how McCain winning would be a disaster for the GOP and the nation, and that we need Obama to win in order to bring about the second coming of a Reagan revolution. He was some kind of GOPer from the sound of it and kept citing to history as being his guide. He noted that we needed Carter's victory in 1976 to usher in the 1980 Reagan win.

He was noting that McCain was socialism-lite compared to Obama's straight up socialism. McCain's economics may be misguided (especially his global warming outlook), but McCain would do far less damage than anything that Obama could impose with the House and Senate in Democrat hands. The damage done by Obama would be incalculable and as long lasting as anything done during the Carter days.

We're still living with Carter's mess, and will do so for the foreseeable future. Obama would bring back Carter's policies, and double down on the messes already created - Iran being the most visible, followed closely (and related to) the energy policy.

Carter's failure to stand up to the Russians emboldened them back then, and Obama would do backflips to appease the Russians. You already see that the media is trying to portray Russia as the victim in Georgia - that it was the Georgians who sought out war in South Ossetia.

Obama's first instinct is to appease and make America weaker by giving in to aggression. That's a presidency we cannot afford.

We're still dealing with Carter's mess, and yet this guy thought that if McCain won, it would then result in a one-term run for McCain followed by an Obama or Clinton win in 2012. McCain could indeed be a 1-termer, but the nation doesn't need a leftist as President, especially when Democrats hold on the House and Senate looks like it may cement itself going forward.

I've seen some Indians who own convenience stores with gas stations. You get less of a scalping there due to no state taxes.

There are lots of truck stops on the rez here in AZ. You can get Mexican bottled Coca-Cola there which is old school Coke made with real cane sugar not that fructose corn syrup crap. Tastes like Coca-Cola used to taste when I was a kid.

And real cheap cigarettes.

re: #35 Honorary Yooper

It could be even worse than that (Obama 264, McCain 274). I still think Michigan and Minnesota could flip for McCain, giving him 301 to Obama's 237.

That'd be a blow out.

Jennifer Rubin notes some progress McCain is making in Iowa, Minnesota and NY, though she doesn't think he's likely to win any of them, such progress is good as it forces Obama to play defense in places where he thought he'd have it easy. That makes it less likely that Colorado or Virginia will go blue.

re: #6 Shug

Here is a poll statistic FWIW

I contributed $25 today to the McCain campaign.
I have never given 5 cents to a candidate before.

So did I. In fact, I have given hundreds previously and just added $25. We ALL need to give at least $25. STOP Barack "Karl Marx" Obama. Really people. Even if you think McCain is too moderate....Obama will be a freaking nightmare.

This is the way theyre spinning it of course:

"There is no doubt the campaign to discredit Obama is paying off for McCain right now," pollster John Zogby said.

Nothing to do with Obama being unable to lead and continuing to be obsessed with Obama to the exclusion of all else and nothing to do with the public making it's own judgements based on Obama's campaign and his reaction to the Georgian crisis.

The Russkies have unwittingly put John McCain in the driver's seat. Serious FUBAR on their part. He has a clue, while Obama has his head so deep in his ass he thinks this country stinks.

re: #64 lawhawk

Agree with you 100% - Pelosi ending the House session for the summer break, and the GOP staying behind and calling her out didn't do anything to help Barry O in the polls.

If he doesn't get any help from the convention or with his performance in non-teleprompter events, he will be slaughtered at the debates - the guy looks like he's reaching for any scrap of an original thought in his head, and can't put it out there for Joe Sixpack to understand. It also doesn't help that he allows his alligator mouth to overload his hummingbird @$$ when he talks to his "friends" at their little swank "events" for him - dissing Joe Sixpack in rural America is a sure vote for the GOP...

All John McCain and the GOP have to do is run ads of Barry's flipping and flopping on the tube and 'net as a "gentle" reminder - "Do you want this idiot to be your next President?"

re: #130 lawhawk

Obama's first instinct is to appease and make America weaker by giving in to aggression. That's a presidency we cannot afford.

I was less than thrilled with McCain as the choice. With the state of things now, I'll vote for him without hesitation.

re: #130 lawhawk

We're still dealing with Carter's mess, and yet this guy thought that if McCain won, it would then result in a one-term run for McCain followed by an Obama or Clinton win in 2012. McCain could indeed be a 1-termer, but the nation doesn't need a leftist as President, especially when Democrats hold on the House and Senate looks like it may cement itself going forward.

Carter? We're still living with Roosevelt's mess! Fannie Mae, Ponzi SchemeSocial Security....

Among my circle of friends and contacts, Obama's shameful stance against medical treatment for born-alive aborted babies resonates hard.

It's hit many of them in the gut and has, to my knowledge, tipped a few fence sitters firmly anti-Obama and pro-McCain.

I'm also hearing more buzz about O's Ayers association and how deep--and lasting---it may be.

People are talking at the Post Office in this neck o' the woods. And it ain't good news for Mr. O neither.

On the polls, again.
Based on noticing bumper stickers (I haven't seen any house signs yet), I've seen more McCain stickers than Obama recently.
I live and work in Massachusetts, but somewhat out of the uber-liberal Boston/Cambridge commune, and near the NH border, so there is some bias from NH vehicles. This does constitute bias in my "poll".
But I'd still expect to see a fair number of Obama bumper stickers, and I haven't.

re: #130 lawhawk

We're still living with Carter's mess, and will do so for the foreseeable future. Obama would bring back Carter's policies, and double down on the messes already created - Iran being the most visible, followed closely (and related to) the energy policy.

Yep. The main problem with the Ann Coulter doctrine is that it's next to impossible to get rid of an entitlement program. If President (shudder) Obama is successful in getting Congress to pass a socialized health care law, we'll likely be stuck with it indefinitely.

However, polling in Minnesota is much, much closer than it is in New York, or even Iowa. Real Clear Politics had Minnesota as a toss up state yesterday.

Imagine the embaressment of losing Minnesota, liberal Minnesota, to McCain, after even Walter Mondale won the state in 1984.

Obama is still up by 35%. Obama voters are young, energetic, and don't use last century's land line phones, so they can't be polled in the first place. Besides, the Repugs own Zogby and Reuters.

re: #51 DistantThunder

Careful, folks, here in NJ in his senate race, Torricelli was diving in the polls due to corruption charges, Dems forced him to resign, so the NJ supreme court ruled that the people have a right to a choice, and allowed a replacement (Lautenberg) AFTER the official deadline for changes had passed.

The Democrats changed the rules mid-game - and we're stuck with senile (D)Lautenberg who is like 81 years old.

The Dems always rewrite the rules when it's to their advantage. That's what the Florida flap was about eight years ago: Whether Gore could demand yet another recount past the time the Florida constitution declared was the final deadline for recounts. That's why they whine about the Electoral College when they win the popular vote but lose in the College. (You will notice, however, they're all for the College when they win the Electoral vote.)

The Hedgehog Report has McCain with a narrow electoral lead too. (His methodolgy is simply to take the latest poll and put it in the column of the candidate who's leading. The Hedgehog Report also has his thoughts on Zogby.

Poland & the Missile Deal

The real problem with NATO’s eastern frontier was highlighted by Poland’s demand it be provided with Patriot anti-aircraft missiles to as a precondition to hosting anti-ballistic missile basing on its soil. The Poles needed tactical reassurance to participate in the strategic equation...

...The irony of the deal is that it was held up by Poland’s desire to have US patriot missile batteries installed on Polish soil. … Whereas the US missile silo is designed to intercept long range missiles from Iran or North Korea however, the US patriot batteries are very clearly a measure against what Warsaw considers its own “rogue state” - Russia.

I've always figured that Obama really didn't think he was in for a fight at all. This is the "democrats turn" and any voting was nothing more than a formality. The entire campaign has literally been acting like they are waiting for a coronation - no vote required.

That McCain came out strong just as Obama displayed his inability to field direct questions about policy laid to rest any doubts.
