Poll: Obama drops 12 points, McCain now leads but within MoE

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

I wonder if McCain could shift his ads to more positive ones instead of pandering to the lie-to-viewers tendency of negative campaigning.

Why would he? Negative ads work.

Remember, the GOP destroyed Kerry with negative ads in August, they destroyed Gore in August too. Neither of them fought back with the ferocity required.

Yeah why tell the truth... such a nasty concept.

Destruction is the name of their game I guess.

The name of the game is winning.

If you don't win, no one cares how you played the game.

Fact of life.

Perhaps that's why voter apathy is also a fact of life in this country.

Those who don't vote, don't matter.

Another fact.

Sounds to me like you don't wanna win. You'd rather look pretty.

...if that's the case, then Obama better choose Hillary for VP. The Clintons know how to play that game.

If that's what it takes, make it so.

But I am sure there are other D's who know how to win too.

Ed Rendell comes to mind.

No... I'd rather stick to issues- not continue the same old BS people are complaining about on a nation-wide level. If a voter is stupid enough to first complain about the way things are, and then turns around and lets an inaccurate TV ad influence his/her decision to vote for someone that perpetuates the reasons for his/her complaining... then that person does deserve the heap of dung they get.

eta: And we already have what we deserve twice over.

What about other voters? The ones who know better?

There's only one way to win - whatever it takes.

You don't accept the stupidity of others. You use it.

That hot bag of wind? Obama might as well give himself a papercut on the lip.

He has a track record of winning.

Sure... we've had to suffer through this stupidity for two terms. Why not one more for kicks? Then again, an attack can be veiled with intelligent thinking to be positive... to get us away from the negativity and lies we've already had to put up with. And it can be all fun for you to watch.

Damnit I don't have images at work how do I respond to that!

You can have your kicks and look pretty while you gloat over your own superiority in the corner of a defunded science lab while you pore over the papers for another job because the Bible Thumper Administration doesn't believe in science anymore.

I'll pass. I'd rather win this time.

Please don't scare me... funding has gotten pretty bad as it is in the last 7 years.

Fear is an awesome motivator. Donate!

Yet, Mavi isn't running.

His saviour is tho, and his elitism & arrogance are wearing thin on the voters, as reflected in the newer polls.

This is hilarious. I love it!

I think the only polls that really matter at this point are the ones that ask whether voters think this country is going in the wrong direction. Those polls are pretty telling just as to who they most likely will vote for.

Oblahma would applaud your blind devotion, however the rest of the country - well, just over half - disagree.
