It uses 1246 registered voters, not as reliable for predictive models as likely voters, which usually puts Republicans at a disadvantage.

This is sort of ambiguously phrased — which sample (registered or likely) puts Republicans as a disadvantage?

Learn it, love it. Soon, you shall need it, my friend.

I need it now…I can’t make the tile working on my bathrooms guys understand me!

Hey, the best way to thank the troops for their sacrifices is to hire Obama as their Commander in Chief. Yessirree, that makes perfect sense….

in bizarro world.

We’re in quite a pickle with our choices this election, that’s for sure. Obviously, McCain is better than Obama would be. But why does he keep sticking it to the base and making it harder and harder for us to support him?

I think you were once a Fred Thompson support, as I was. My problem with McCain is I think he’s unelectable. Quote polls till you’re blue in the face… they don’t matter at this point.

I understand how you feel about our brave men and women in the war areas. I just don’t know what to think about the war anymore.. By his own admission, Bush “made mistakes” and pretty much wasted 4 years of our best and brightest dying (and I lost my brother, so it is really hard to overlook a “oops, I was wrong).

So now we’re clearly making progress. That’s a good thing. So at what point does this thing start to wind down? Are we now waiting for their government to “get its act together?”

And how are all of us going to feel when we finally do pull out and Sharia (sp?) Law makes it’s appearance again to scoop up any resemblence of democracy all of our loved ones fought for?

Maybe the only argument for contiuing the war for an extended time is that the terrorists stay over there so we can fight them there, which may be true. But then, why do we leave our borders open for any terrorist with a brain to figure out how easy it is to come in to our country? I’m sure they are already here.

No, I can’t even imagine Obama in the WH. But, I think we may have to face the fact that there is a very good chance he will be.

According to RCP’s average of 7 recent polls Obama is 3.7% ahead of McCain in a general election match up.

Yeah, and McCain would have a lead nationally if the AP and NYT/CBS polls that had him double digits down werent’ posted. They deliberately ran those polls to negate what he had just gained because of their smear. Their polls nullify the Rasmeussen and USA today polls that had him winnnig by four. Don’t you get it. The libs like Mathews, Russert, and Mathews use the AVERAGE almost daily as a source, so the Times and the AP made sure the AVERAGE didn’t move a single bit by inserting their rediculous polls. Wake and don’t be scared of the fuzzy math. The AVERAGE being manipulated is in effect as Rush would say the real story here.

You have not yet told us whether you think McCain’s immigration policies would be good or bad for national security. I don’t believe John Bolton mentioned it either.

in bizarro world.

Bother me with immigration when the war’s over.

rightwingprof on February 27, 2008 at 12:02 PM

lol.

When the war is over in a hundred years, what used to be the United States of America will be un Espanol hablando unica nacion.

That’s horrible. We are asking an awful high sacrifice from these people.

stenwin77 on February 27, 2008 at 1:08 PM

Shared sacrifice.

Gone with the wind.

If ever there was a reason to learn the difference between your and you’re…

When yer right, yer right.

McCain is 1.9% ahead of Hillary, but then she has only a marginally better chance than I do of getting the dim nom.

For rightwing prof above who tells me to wait till the war is over,..isn’t that like a hundred years?

a capella on February 27, 2008 at 12:53 PM

I heard today that some of our brave men and women are on their FOURTH TOUR OF DUTY in Iraq and that re-enlistment bonuses are up to $40,000 !!!

That’s horrible. We are asking an awful high sacrifice from these people.

In the context of this election, isn’t that the only opinion that matters?

Blacklake on February 27, 2008 at 12:12 PM

Not really. We know what Obama says he would do. We also know what McCain tried to do, and the identity of his fellow supporters in Congress, plus his contempt for those in opposition. It seems a reasonable measuring stick. For rightwing prof above who tells me to wait till the war is over,..isn’t that like a hundred years?

Worse is worse.

John Bolton

Would I prefer a President Thompson or Giuliani to a President McCain? Sure.

But I’m only going to have the option of choosing between a President McCain or a President Obama.

I choose President McCain.

Are you a genius in the Spanish language too? Learn it, love it. Soon, you shall need it, my friend.

I’ve been hearing this for some time, but so far, there has been not a shred of evidence to support it.

Bother me with immigration when the war’s over. Priorities are priorities. Unless, of course, you wouldn’t mind another fall of Saigon or bloodbath.

rightwingprof on February 27, 2008 at 12:02 PM

Um the pilots that flew into the WTC and Pentagon were here illegally.

’nuff said.

So, how do you feel about the impact on national security that McCain’s attitude on immigration policy creates? Surely you have an opinion on it, other than that Obama is worse…

Whats the worst that could happen? Being treated like a Republican.
