and hopefully there is no turning back considering the alterantive

Sort of misleading as this is the result of just one poll. When you average the major polls together Obama is still a few points ahead.
One thing interesting in the average of polls is that the number of undecided voters has increased from 7% to 13%, a six point bounce.

I don't keep up with the polls. This one was of registered voters.....are all of the others?

It could be that some those 6% moved from Obama to undecided.
Obama peaked at a 5-point convention bounce in polling published last Tuesday. He was ahead 49 percent to 43 percent in the Gallup poll conducted before the Republican convention. He then soared to 50 percent for the first time of the election, by Gallup’s measure, while McCain fell to 42 percent.
According to the statement above McCain gained more than Obama lost. It would appear that McCain took some undecideds and Obama lost some followers. At least in that poll.

one poll this morning of LIKELY voters hav McCain ahead 54-44

one poll this morning of LIKELY voters have McCain ahead 54-44

SWEET!!!
Hopefully it will continue to grow between now and election day!!

I'll bet in a couple of weeks it'll all even out again.....there is always bumps in a candidates favor after their respective conventions. Just didn't notice the bump Obama got because the Republican convention came so close afterwards along with Palin being anounced. Although McCain did get a big bump.

Kinda nice how that worked out!!:cool::cool::cool:

well planned I must agree....just wonder if Palin would still be his VP of choice if Hillary was on the other ticket. never heard her name until they announced it as VP candidate.

Dunno.
I heard her mentioned many times but then I'm a news hound especially when it comes to political news. I think Condi Rice would have been the better pick had Hillary been Obama's VP pick. She would definitely tear Hillary into shreds!!
Of course Palin doesn't seem very timid herself. It might have been nice to see a woman with both beauty and brains beat up on the unqualified and distasteful Billary.

Condi would have been a good choice I think for the McCain ticket. What I was getting at was, isn't there someone else in the republican party with the experience of governorship and executive powers that could have been a better pick? I mean, was she the best that they could come up with? or was she the best female choice to pick up the disenfranchised women since Hillary isn't in it any more. seems like McCain is only thinking of getting elected and maybe not what's best for the country if, God forbid, something happens to him if he is elected.

Personally I think his choice was both in some ways. She was the best he could get that the DEMs couldn't destroy with their rhetoric. As with most of us I didn't know a heck of a lot about her but the more I hear and read the more I like her. She seems very highly qualified considering the things she's done in as an executive.

Whoever wins this thing has my support initially. We can all agree that people need to get back to work,businesses don't need any more regulation(small ones anyway) and the security of our nation's borders is paramount. Iraq needs to step up to the plate and quit bickering among themselves and pay us back for delivering democracy and freedom to them. The whole place is like the McCoys and the Hatfields on a giant scale. Enough already.

It's more than one poll now. Unfortunately the only TV news I can get at work is the Communist News Network (CNN) World Edition.
What's funny is that when Barak was leading by 2% points CNN said that Obama had a significant lead. Now that McCain is ahead by 2, they are reporting that they are neck and neck.[laugh][laugh][laugh]

isn't there someone else in the republican party with the experience of governorship and executive powers that could have been a better pick?Texas Sen Kay Bailey Hutchison.
Although I've favored Obama I always thought McCain would be good too...
until he picked Palin.
That women is just too far right for me, and most of the country once they find out more about her. I dislike Hilary immensely but would take her any day over Palin.

Dont worry My wife and I were gonna go 3rd party but now because of Palin we will vote for McCain. We got you covered LOL[laugh]

That's what makes her the best pick for McCain. She she conservitizes his less than conservative positions!![coffee]

Nah Hillary is a calculating Phsycopath....she wouldn't know the truth or decency if it hit her in the face. Remember the, "I was under sniper fire" speech??

I have no doubt she will foster her way to the white house if she can some day.
