		<description>&quot;Unfortunately, due to the Bush/Cheney economy, I really donâ€™t have the spare cash for a room.&quot;

oh, so now bankruptcy and the bottle are all Bush&#039;s fault? 

This explains a lot - no personal responsibility, everything, even your own personal failings, are really Bush&#039;s fault, not yours.</description>

		<description>Somebody name any other freshmen Senator that discussed the potential of running for President in his campaign for Senate victory speech.

Got a feeling you will only come up with &quot;the One&quot; match.</description>

		<description>I trust Rasmussen more than any other pollster. A moderate bump? How much did that moderate bump cost the dems?</description>

		<description>&quot;......leave the convention with a modest lead over McCain.&quot;

My, my, my.  We&#039;ve been told for a couple of years now that the dems will take Congress and the WH because the Republican brand is no longer attracting voters, it&#039;s losing them.

In this supposed atmosphere, you brag about a modest lead coming out of the convention where the average lead is around 12 points.</description>

		<description>Unfortunately, due to the Bush/Cheney economy, I really don&#039;t have the spare cash for a room.

So, I&#039;m now only able to spend as much time in a hotel, as you are with the facts.

As soon as you have the ability to actually address anything I&#039;ve said, instead of ad hominem personal attacks, you let me know, okay?

(Yes, you are allowed to look up what &quot;ad honimen&quot; means. I&#039;ll wait.)</description>

		<description>ivehadit:

So, if the polls respond the &lt;a href=&quot;http://rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/election_20082/2008_presidential_election/daily_presidential_tracking_poll&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;way Rasmussen expects them to&lt;/a&gt;, then you&#039;ll believe Obama&#039;s lead then?

&quot;Reviewing recent single-night polling dataâ€”rather than the three-day average--shows that Obama lost ground immediately following the selection of Joe Biden as his running mate. That had little or nothing to do with Biden and everything to do with the fact that the running mate was not named Hillary Clinton. The impact of that choice was reflected in the polling results released Tuesday and Wednesday showing modest gains for McCain. 

However, events are moving rapidly this season and the impact of the convention is starting to replace the impact of the Vice Presidential announcement. New polling data shows that 74% of Democrats say their convention has unified the party and 84% believe Hillary Clintonâ€™s speech will help Obama in the fall. 

Obamaâ€™s poll numbers have improved over the past couple of nights and todayâ€™s update shows a tie race because it includes a mix of both recent trends. But it seems likely that Obama will end the convention with a modest lead over McCain.&quot;</description>

		<description>&quot;McCain is running one hell of a campaign.&quot; Indeed he is.

And for the record, Rasmussen, polling LIKELY voters, has this race tied. Same time period as Gallup. Rasmussen is the only poll I care to follow. 

Polls smolls. McCain is tough as nails. I admire his tenacity.</description>

		<description>Bresch,
Pardon us for being so &quot;far right.&quot;

Embryonic stem cell research has been a failure. What&#039;s needed is better education of the so called &quot;moderates&quot;to understand more promising paths of research and the death spiral that comes with trivializing any human life.

People will understand the seamless, life hating disposition of the Obama-Biden-Pelosi-Soros axis.</description>

		<description>The last time a Democrat had a six point lead over a Republican, from ABC:

 Among registered voters, 50 percent support Kerry in this ABC News/Washington Post poll, 44 percent Bush and 2 percent Ralph Nader â€” a gain of four points for Kerry and a loss of four for Bush from the pre-convention ABC/Post poll.

That net shift of eight points is about half the average, 15 points, for challengers running against incumbents in elections since 1968 (ranging from +30 for Bill Clinton in 1992 to -3 for George McGovern in 1972). The average bounce for all candidates is 12 points.

Among likely voters, Kerry&#039;s six-point edge slips to an insignificant two points â€” 49 percent support for Kerry, 47 percent for Bush and 2 percent for Nader, a net (and at best very slight) six-point shift toward Kerry from the pre-convention poll.</description>

		<description>People do embryonic stem cell research all the time, it is just not funded by the government. Many states put large sums toward the research. So what&#039;s the problem?</description>

		<description>Obama filed papers for this run 143 days after he took office in the Senate. 143 days. That is just ridiculous.

breschau:

Two days ago McCain was ahead, don&#039;t get too cocky. I think that in some ways Obama&#039;s lack of experience is a plus because he has not done anything. He has no record. So it is easier for him to make promises.</description>

		<description>pjo:

Yes, I was obviously being very, very misleading - by including a link to the article, so that everyone could read about it themselves. How dastardly of me!

&quot;It is a call for a total ban on embryonic stem-cell research, including privately funded research using frozen embryos from in-vitro fertilization (IVF) clinics. By contrast, the 2004 platform was in accord with President Bush&#039;s policy at the time, which made limited federal funding for embryonic stem-cell research available for the first time.&quot;

So, McCain has now moved even farther to the right than Busy/Cheney. That&#039;ll bring the moderates over in DROVES!!

No wonder &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.usmagazine.com/news/cindy-mccains-half-sister-im-voting-for-obama&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;his own in-laws won&#039;t vote for him&lt;/a&gt;.</description>

		<description>Breschau, misleading the folks again? Ban is only for embryonic stem cells only. Which the people who read this site know that it has been a dead-end hole that a lot of people insist we must keeping throwing more money down that money pit. Yes some moderates and independents will be turned-off by the ban but I think more will approve of it because of the source of the stem cells and the fact that is continues to be all promise and nothing to show for it.</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;So, exactly what does it say about McCain that â€œa completely inexperienced and untested manâ€ is six points ahead of him, before Obama gives his speech tonight?&lt;/B&gt;

It says very little about McCain, but A LOT about the socialist leanings of his admittedly huge following.</description>
