Add to OP title.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

2. thanks!

[geek tragedy]

3. Obama leads by 24 points in the "who's running a negative

campaign" question.

But only three points in the overall support.

Moral: Flush this nice guy approach down the goddamn toilet where it belongs.

Nice guys LOSE. Don't be a nice guy!

[senseandsensibility]

5. You mean more people think Obama is running a negative

campaign?

[geek tragedy]

9. Negative campaigning question:

Who's running a negative campaign?

Neither: 41%
Both: 19%
Only McCain: 29%
Only Obama: 5%

the moral is that McCain went negative, people noticed, but it wound up helping him anyways.

Negativity works. Scorched earth works.

New kind of politics? Feh.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

8. you know that Obama is NOT running a negative campaign

it is a truth is hurting McBush campaign

[scheming daemons]

4. but but but but.... ZOGBY! and.... HE NEEDS HILLARY!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

6. Zog will have to finally set her adrift

he cannot depend on Hills

[bluestateguy]

7. Why can't McCain close the deal?

I mean, gee, it's the middle of August already and she should have closed the deal back in April.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

14. McCain only wants to serve one term?

[indimuse]

10. hmmm

Obama needz help!

11. Polls Schmolls.....just meaningless noise. What bothers me are the braindead undecideds!

What could they possibly be undecided about? Have they been sleeping under a rock during Bush's disaster presidency? don't they see that McCone is just more of the same? Give me a break...

15. the independent have been at the beach all summer

then they will be busy running their children to ball games all fall. Too busy!

Mayeb we should set up some stalls at the beach and at ball games?

[Spazito]

12. Damn, didn't you get the e-mail!!

Today's supposed to be "Doom and Gloom Day + H" Day, Tomorrow is the FACTS Day! Don't worry, though, I am getting confused too, lol.

All kidding aside, thanks for the good news, it is much appreciated!

Recommended.

13. McCain, 72, new poll numbers.

I'm waiting to see CNN post his name and age alongside a phrase with the word poll in it, so that it will look like he's polling at 72.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

16. LOL!

[bagimin]

17. I believe Gallup has had McCain at 42%

for most of the summer....Isn't that still his ceiling?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

18. he can only go down

[bushisanidiot]

19. Captain Combover is a loser. Get used to seeing his numbers sink..

Obama OWNS this week, he'll own next week and won't look back.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

21. yes hopefully the media will be forced to acknowledge that

[David Zephyr]

20. Still ahead and that's what matters.

Obama has been ahead all summer.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

22. but according to the medai it never happened

they use one poll to push Obama down!
