"very big news for Barack Obama." :)

[Danger Mouse]

1. Watch it be like terrible for Obama.

[MANative]

3. It didn't seem like he was teasing bad Obama news.

I'm choosing to be hopeful.

[AlCzervik]

8. i doubt it.

[spanone]

2. yep.....i can't wait....i can't wait to shut these people up

[ps1074]

4. +12 for Obama?

I think it will be similar to the PEW and CBS polls... 11 or 12 points Obama lead.

[MANative]

6. That sure wouldn't suck! Pew was a 14 point spread, IIRC. n/t

WSJ/NBC News Poll: McCain Voters Lack Enthusiasm

Susan Davis reports on the presidential race.

Self-identified supporters of Republican presidential nominee John McCain aren’t that excited about the Arizona senator’s candidacy, particularly when compared to supporters of Barack Obama, according to the latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll.

Just over one-quarter, 26%, of McCain’s supporters said they are “excited” to vote for him this fall, while over one-third, 34%, said they were just “satisfied” to cast their ballot for McCain. Perhaps the most troubling number for McCain is 39% — that’s the number of his supporters who said they were voting for him “as the lesser of two evils.”

Obama’s supporters are doubly as excited with their candidate, with a majority, 52%, stating they are “excited” to vote for the Illinois senator, and just 14% identified him “as the lesser of two evils.” Like McCain voters, however, one-third of Obama’s supporters, 33%, said they were just “satisfied” with casting their ballot for him.

[MANative]

13. Works for me, as a start! n/t

[Proud Liberal Dem]

15. Well THAT sure doesn't sound like bad news for Obama

:)

[Cattledog]

7. 6:30p release on Nightly news

[crossroads]

9. I can't wait for even more good news today! k&r

[DrToast]

12. I'm concerned...

...that it'll only be single digits. Why can't Obama close the deal?

;)

[MANative]

14. I'm guessing that it's at least 9, but I'm going for

11. Deal being well sealed!

[deadparrot]

16. Before going to break,

he said something about Obama's lead being "solid and growing," then cited the 14-point lead in the Pew poll and the NBC/WSJ "that will be released later." I doubt he'd tease the new poll within the context of a solid and growing lead if it showed McCain closing the gap.

17. When will Matthews get to be called by his real name?

Since the DNC (and probably before) he's been pugnacious as hell-- for us. I so appreciate that. :patriot:

[WeDidIt]

18. Tweety will always be Tweety to me

HE should embrace the nickname.

[BlooInBloo]

19. Same.

[MANative]

20. For now, the "Tweety" is with great affection. He's showing

his Dem roots lately.

[ailsagirl]

24. I'll say-- he's been awesome!!!

:bounce:

[DerekJ]

21. Obama + 14 ( I think Tweety just slipped on hardball)

[AlCzervik]

22. that was the pew poll.

[DerekJ]

23. Oh Thanks.. I didn't know about that poll.

[AlCzervik]

25. that kicks ass though doesn't it, amirite or amirite?
