Poll Shocker! Obama In Big Trouble As McCain Drops To 39%
By: Blue Texan Thursday August 7, 2008 6:00 am

It's officially time to panic.

Barack Obama leads John McCain 45 percent to 39 percent in the latest CBS News poll.

Not good. Obama's people better figure out how to respond to McSame's devastating "Paris" ad and all of those relentless tire gauge attacks pretty damn quick. Because they're clearly having a significant impact.

Consider -- since this barrage of negative attacks started, McSame has dropped 3 points in the CBS poll since June.

And McSame is outspending Obama during the Olympics, so it's not inconceivable that he could drop even lower. Nothing could be worse for Obama than consistently leading McSame through the election.

[Coexist]

8. I won't cast asparagus on this - we're not screwn after all !!!

:woohoo:

[zeemike]

6. Yes but you see

That all 39% will get to vote and the 45% may not be so lucky.

[tblue37]

17. Exactly! And of that 45%, those who do get to vote

will not necessarily have their votes counted. It's worked at least 4 times before, and they are going to pull out all the stops in this election, becuase if they lose power, they know that they are at risk of having their crimes not only revealed but prosecuted.

7. I am so worried!

He is still leading and his lead is growing.. OH MY.. :)

[Douglas Carpenter]

9. just imagine how awful it will be for Obama if he develops an absolutely commanding lead

I'm sure the media will find a way spin it.

[caledesi]

15. Yep. NT

[MissWaverly]

10. wait till the fundies find out about the biker rally

McCain will drop even further, the Republicans admit that they could have never won without their loyal fundamentalist base, somehow I don't see them advocating topless beauty contests.

[formercia]

11. Let McCain waste his illegal campaign contributions.

It's 3 Months until the election.

The sheeple have the attention span of...oh, wait, a sheep.

[JaneQPublic]

16. Will the talking heads now wonder, "Why isn't McCain further ahead?"

...the way they've been doing Obama incessantly?

Don't hold your breath.

[LowerManhattanite]

18. We must put Bea Arthur on the ticket with him IMMEDIATELY!

IT IS THE ONLY THING THAT CAN SAVE HIM_OH NOEEEEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZ! :)

[tridim]

20. Didn't she just die?

Maybe that's your point. :)

[LowerManhattanite]

21. No, Bea's still with us...

It's Estelle Getty (Sophia from “Golden Girls”) who passed away.

[ClassWarrior]

19. Obama needs to shout four-letter words at McBush!! Otherwise he's a wimp loser!!

(Though I do have to admit I'm thrilled that the Corporate Media is doing such a good job of motivating our volunteers... :rofl: )
