[AnarchoFreeThinker]

7. NC and VA are in play. How about we not give them away just yet?

[southpaw]

9. Hey! I'm from the South, goddammit!

So don't call it Redneckistan... that sounds communist!

It's Rednecksburgh! Or maybe Redneckstaag.

If you are going to assign us a pejorative nick name, at least keep it in line with our true heritage!

19. While that sounds fun..

.. it'll be even more fun to hear my fellow southerners complaining about every slightly progressive/liberal thing that Obama does while he's in office.

Leave us in - and smile when you hear the ignorant yokels whining at the moon. :D

11. INDIANA: Obama three-point lead = 47 percent to 44 percent

Star/WTHR poll: It's close in Indiana
Poll finds Obama has a fragile edge on McCain, 47% to 44%
Bill Ruthhart and Tim Evans - Sept 17, 2008 - http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080917/NEWS0502/80917076


Sen. Barack Obama holds a tenuous lead over Sen. John McCain in Indiana, with one in four likely voters saying they could change their mind on who to support for president, according to a new Indianapolis Star-WTHR (Channel 13) poll.

Obama's three-point lead in the poll, 47 percent to 44 percent, reinforces Indiana's status as a battleground in the race for the White House.

CBS News/New York Times Poll Shows Obama With 5 Point Advantage, Voters Concern Over Palin

Sept. 17, 2008 - In a sign that John McCain's convention bounce has dissipated, Barack Obama has taken a 48 percent to 43 percent lead over his Republican rival among registered voters in the latest CBS News/New York Times poll.

McCain had a two percentage point lead among registered voters in a CBS News poll released on September 8th, just after the Republican National Convention. Prior to the party conventions, Obama led McCain by 3 points.

In the new poll, the gap among likely voters is the same as it is among registered voters: Obama leads among those seen as likely to go to the polls in November 49 percent to 44 percent.

This race remains up for grabs. One-fourth of the electorate is now uncommitted, meaning they say they could still change their minds about their candidate or remain undecided entirely. Roughly twenty percent of both McCain and Obama supporters say they have not yet settled definitively on their chosen candidate. ....................

It looks like the McCain bounce is officially over.

Here are the numbers from new CBS/New York Times poll: Among registered voters, Obama leads 48%-43%, with a margin of error of ±3%. Among likely voters, Obama is ahead 49%-44%. Last week, McCain's post-convention helped him get a 46%-44% lead among registered voters -- but not anymore.

The economy seems to have really damaged McCain.

[Jennicut]

18. Yup, and look at Biden, the lowest unfavorbility rating of all of them

so much for Phalin being the great VP pick. Looks like more people like Biden now. I mean, whats not to like? Obama's ratings are excellent as well. Dropping like a lead balloon, McPhalin.
