Quinnipiac Gallup The more bad economic news we get, the better for Obama's presidential bid. Although many will not admit it, I am sure they crack a smile when they hear of the poor economic times because it helps their candidate.

September 18, 200818 yr Unless there is something shocking that comes out, the debates will swing a few more votes, and that is about it. It is coming down to the wire. I cannot remember who it was this morning on either MSNBC or FoxNews, but they predicted a 1 in 3 chance we will not know the outcome of the election on election night because of recounts, etc. Both campaigns have hired 1000s of lawyers ready for appeals.
September 18, 200818 yr Obama better hope for a omfortable lead going into the debates IMO. Obama - Teleprompter + Pointed Questions = Liberal Doppelganger of Bush

September 19, 200818 yr I don't think anyone is really sure of where the potential vote stands right now. Fox may be right. It may be Bush/Gore II.
September 19, 200818 yr All the excitement about Palin is wearing off and the women voters are realizing that she isn't the best thing since sliced bread.
September 19, 200818 yr The electoral map is starting to swing in the favor of McCain though. Yes the Democrats are cheering the bad news in the financial markets. I along with a buddy of mine crunched our numbers with both candidates economic plans and I would save roughly $400. dollars under McCain's plan.
September 19, 200818 yr Author The electoral map is starting to swing in the favor of McCain though. McCain did have an electoral advantage for the first time this campaign after the convention, but Obama has regained the lead there as well.

As another poster said in another thread, I can't wait for the bumper stickers to come out if Slowbama wins. As mean-spirited as the left has been with Bush, it would definitely be a fun turn of the tables.

September 19, 200818 yr This race is going to be extremly tight. I can't get over the fact that Indiana and Montana are as close as they are...
September 19, 200818 yr Author Among new polling numbers, Palin's favorability ratings tumble. Between Sept. 13 and Sept. 17, the Alaska governor's unfavorables had climbed in the Diageo/Hotline poll from 30 percent to 37 percent; her favorables, meanwhile, had fallen from 52 percent to 47 percent. All in all, she'd gone from the most to least popular White House hopeful over the course of five short days. The reason? "I suspect that we're starting to see Palin's considerable novelty wear off," I wrote. "Between now and Nov. 4, voters will stop seeing Palin as a fascinating story and starting taking her measure as an actual candidate for office. Newsweek Article Now, I'm no partisan waging a war of rhetoric. I would, at least, hope that anyone who reads my posts would know that. But, I said Palin was a poor choice before McCain made it, wrung through the wringer on here when he made it and polls shot up, and I still think it was a bad decision that will probably cost John McCain the election.
