I call BS. :rotfl:
Hey, John said I was his friend. Don't say it's BS. After all, he would NEVER lie to me... :rotfl:

The latest Gallup daily tracking poll of registered voters gives Mr McCain a lead of 49% to Mr Obama's 44%. Doesn't sound like GoP desperation time to me... :hmm:

I don't know of anybody who is desperate at this point. And certainly Obama isn't the one running those despicable ads like we have seen these last two days. If it is not desperation, what is it... a sign of McCain's latest flip flop... on the issue of personal character? He was a pretty decent guy at one time- back in 2000 he had my vote.

McCain 2000 wouldn't even vote for the guy we see posing as McCain these days.

You are entitled to your opinion, but maybe you can explain why the 180 from the good guy that I remember from 2000 to the guy who has turned into what he at one time so valiantly fought against.

And for the record- you must be cherry picking your poll numbers because most polls have them pretty even and one or the other up a point or two varying which one ahead or behind from poll to poll. Here is an excellent resource if you are into the polls.

The ELECTORAL MAP... the one that counts you know? It shows Obama sitting pretty and when you add those 4,000,000 new voters across the country... NEW voters who are never included in those "likely" to vote because they are "new"... I would say that things are about where most Obama supporters would have hoped. Heck- for most Obama supporters things are way better than we could have ever dreamed at the start of this election process.

I m just wondering how many of those 4,000,000 are like those 75,000...

Of course, these same polls said in 2000 that Al Gore was leading Bush by 5%, and yet he didn't win once November came around...

These polls really don't mean much of anything. And also remember, things change.

Although, I still wonder why exactly they sent me this letter...:hmm:

Because they are declaring an emergency and need money, money, money for negative ads, ads, ads. It's how they run their elections- McCain understands that- that is why he became a sell out and is now the very thing that he used to be against. "Just win baby!" The methods don't matter- just the results, eh?

:rotfl:

Not really funny at all. It is pretty sad, but true- and that only makes it all the sadder. McCain sold out the idea of being a reform candidate the day he decided to let the special interests run his campaign. They get him elected, he gives them what they ask for. The same old political game, just more of the same and now it comes from John McCain. Just a sad commentary.
