3. i say......

we come, we see, we kick their asses! It is time for a total sea change in this Country, the pendulum is going to swing the other way baby!

4. His favorables are spiking too...

He just hit 58/41, favorable/unfavorable.

5. Nice!

When he was three points ahead, they spun it as a dead heat. I suppose they could try that again with this, (I've seen them do worse), but at least they will look like fools when they try.

8. That IS good news. Let's get out there and defeat McSame!

[gateley]

6. Wow! This is EXCITING! nt!

[Carrieyazel]

7. He should be up by 17, not 7.

Any R nominee shouldn't even be in the ballpark.

9. You have to take into consideration the completely

free ride McSame has been given in the media so far. And sadly, I think he will continue to receive it until election day.

10. Thank you for your concern

12. Why? He's not your ordinary GOP candidate. He's the fucking "maverick"

Media darling, even more so than Obama.

11. And, Obama is seemingly barely started

in the GE but I'll bet there's been organizational work for at least weeks that isn't evident, yet.
