If Powell does endorse Obama, Obama will surge and turnaround the momentum in this race

[Politics_Guy25]

No one on here should be unhappy about an Powell endorsement. A Powell endorsement automatically changes the tilt of the race from Mccain having all the momentum and rising in the polls to Obama re-establishing a double digit lead. Embrace it. He will bring many undecideds unsure about Obama onto our train.

Thank you Colin Powell. We needed your endorsement right now more than ever. You stopped the Mccain surge.

Here are the latest rumors from politico:

[AlinPA]

1. McCain surge?

[Politics_Guy25]

3. Yes in the DKOS poll and GW/Battleground

[Beetwasher]

6. Uh, In Dkos He gained One Point

WTF are you talking about?

[Beetwasher]

2. On What Planet Does McC Have Momentum?

A point or two of noise is not momentum.

[NightWatcher]

4. Is Powell still relevant?

Obama needs a "game changer" and I dont doubt that he has a few up his sleeve, but is Powell really big news? I'm not being condescending but i wonder if hw really carries that much weight anymore. He has been out of it for four years now and in some circles that's an eternity.

I hope that whatever he does helps Obama, but is Powell really a big deal?

[Politics_Guy25]

9. The media stilil loves him

And even Mccain's staffers say that this will halt them dead in their tracks.

[frogcycle]

11. noooo....

McCain needs a game-changer.

[knixphan]

26. exactly.

Obama just needs us to close it out.

[WeDidIt]

5. That would be an interesting argument if McCain had any momentum

:eyes:

[frogcycle]

7. WTF?

[cliffordu]

I wonder if DU needs to institute an intelligence test for people who would

post shit like this......

[Politics_Guy25]

14. Umm check the polls Clifford

They're not looking that great. 50-46 in the one night DKOS sample last night...

And GW went from +13 to +4. A Powell endorsement halts whatever the fuck is going on out there.

[EstimatedProphet]

18. I want a link

[cliffordu]

22. Powell's endorsement is going to sway who, exactly???

These polls are going to tighten....Just because he ain't up by 20 doesn't mean he's fading like your faith in his campaign....


Why don't YOU endorse him by doing a little phone calling or volunteering???

[thewiseguy]

8. You are starting to piss me off. McCain has all the momentum?

:puke:

[Thrill]

10. What McCain surge? You must be listening too much to Joe Liberman

[apnu]

25. well McCain is on an uptick right now

check it out here: http://www.pollster.com/polls/us/08-us-pres-ge-mvo.php

I don't know if its momentum or the Republican faithful coming back into the fold, but he is getting some kind of movement up.

[IndianaJones]

12. what momentum? McCain surge? idiotic. nt.

[iceman66]

13. If wishes were horses . . .

[blue sky at night]

15. uh....duh....

all the momentum is going OBAMA's way....please, we need no turnaround. PLAnET EaRTH calling!!!!!

[azmouse]

16. Obama will win in a landslide. Book it.

Grampa is toast.

[Marsala]

17. McCain is slowly picking up the "undecided" voters who would go for him anyway

That's not true momentum. The fact is that McCain has been at unnaturally low levels, below 45% in many polls, while Obama is at the ceiling of about 50% which is almost impossible for any Democrat to pass by much. It's only normal for McCain to pick up a few points as we approach Nov. 4th.

[Jersey Devil]

19. What "momentum" for McCain?

What, minor noise and fluctuation in the polls in the last few weeks before the election is a "surge"?

[JBTO26]

20. sick and tired of the Powell threads

We don't need to grasp at straws. There's no McCain momentum and the Polin endorsement doesn't mean anything !!!!!!

[Webster Green]

21. Is this "momentum" thing you speak of anything like "joementum?

McCain is fucking toast. :smoke:

[renie408]

23. Not sure about any McCain surge, but I agree that a Powell endorsement would be good

for Obama.

[AlCzervik]

24. Powell Powell bobowell, banana fana fo fowell me mi mowell. Powell!

[Jennicut]

27. There is no McCain surge. You guys do realize he needs to run all the battlegrounds

plus turn a blue state red? Do not go by one or two point changes in the national polls. Even small shifts in the state polls will not save McInsane's wrinkly old ass. He needs to win CO, NV, VA, OH, FL, NM and turn PA or another blue state red. I just don't see that happening. Obama is doing too good in VA and will most likely get NM. He is doing well in all the other blue states as well. You guys are telling me that an uptick in national polling by a point or two means he can do all that? It could be Montana or Georgia or Texas simply going redder. There is no McCrap surge that could overcome all that unless Obama had some huge scandal come out about him.

[pnwmom]

28. McCain doesn't have any momentum -- really. Any changes in the polls have

been tiny -- all within the margin of error.

[WI_DEM]

29. I'm not sure a Powell endorsment would provide a huge boost, but it won't hurt.

[Sebastian Doyle]

30. Next we'll see threads that say Obama should have sexual relations with a sheep on stage

...just to get that elusive backwoods redneck vote.

"Well, shit I said I'd never vote for a n****r, but if he loves sheep as much as I do, he cain't be a bad guy !!!11!!1!!!1"

[quantass]

31. McCain momentum? I'm confused, which poll?

[Avalux]

32. "Mccain having all the momentum and rising in the polls" ROFL!!!!!

That's a good one! So is "McCain surge", LOL. :rofl:

[Essene]

33. Powell endorsement is just one of MANY moderate republican ones coming... watch

[Sebastian Doyle]

35. Moderate Republicans are one thing

War criminals are quite another.

[alcibiades_mystery]

34. McCain has no momentum

You're bordering on outright disruption with your bullshit themes now.

[Alter Ego]

36. McCain has no momentum--he's floundering in the water with less than 3 weeks to go.
