3. Obama leads 54 - 40 percent among women, compared to 53 - 39 percent last month

Not much of a Palin bounce. In fact, NO Palin bounce.

Tee hee hee.

6. If you discount the evangelical bounce that is

This is good news though... if you can call polls news ;)

9. Right.

I meant to say in regards to Female voters.

7. Means nothing. Obama needs at least 10% lead minimum

Or this election will be stolen again. He needs to lead in the polls by a landslide, so that when the numbers come in and it's a close election, thanks to Republican caging, disenfranchisement and electronic vote flipping, at least he'll have won.

[Blasphemer]

8. We're in the home stretch

The lead should hold through the election but McCain and the GOP are going to get even uglier so the Obama campaign can't let up at all

These 2 percenters are really the scurge of the black community, lifted to prominence by the right wing propaganda machine. One of the little victories after Obama wins will be in the absence of GOP-style tokenism in the executive branch.
