Friggin' headline on Comcast.com "Poll - McCain takes lead over Obama"
C'mon, what the fuck is going on here? http://www.comcast.net/articles/news-politics/20080820/POLITICS-USA-POLL-POLITICS-DC/

I hope Obama's finally hitting back at the hypocritical McCain attack ads will pay off soon. McCain? WTF are people thinking - he's a mindless Bush III troll! :mad:

3. I fail to see what's wrong with
the headline. Where this poll is concerned, the headline is accurate. Am I missing something?

13. I'll give you $100 if they do the same when Obama inevitably retakes the lead in the same poll

That's what's wrong with this headline.

It's loaded and implies a momentum change.

16. OK
I'll be happy to see Obama retake the lead and have the right-wing Comcast actually report it!

5. Comcast always puts up negative stuff about Obama. And if McCain
manages to put his shoes on the correct feet, they act like he's god or something.

6. Comcast doesn't even carry MSNBC in their regular line up
They're conservative. We know this.

8. I asked them why they cut MSNBC verus "Fox right-wing Nazi channel"
They had no response - I had to get a digital box just so I can watch Olbermann. Slimy ass holes.

11. I did the same thing. That poor guy on the phone just kind of
laughed when I called Fox right wing bullshit artists.

7. WSJ is still showing a 3% lead over McFibber
I don't put much stock in ANY poll right now. "They" want it to appear close so they can steal it AGAIN!

There's just no way that more than 30% want four more McBush years.
