A Slight Lead

It's close!
Democrat presidential candidate Barack Obama has a narrow 5-point lead on Republican candidate John McCain, according to a Reuters/Zogby poll released on Wednesday.
BUT, Obama holds a big early edge with the crucial swing voting blocs of independents and women.
Don't forget to register to vote!

I LOVE PEREZ
3rd?
FIRST!~
Let's Barack and Roll!!
unfortunately these leads mean nothing. he can score the popular vote (there are more people in democratic states like cali and ny), but its going to be near impossible for him to clinch those swing states. we still follow a very old backwards system of using the electoral college… that will be obamas downfall
Pick up a voter registration form at your public library (in NC anyway)! Register today! The deadline for the general election is 10/10/08.
We're doomed if this guy wins.
Clinton!!!!
First
Fuck that nigga! Vote for the white guy. We don't need any of them in the Black House. Kill Barak!
MCCAIN '08
WE dont want to BLACK men in the WHITE HOUSE! REmember !!!!!!!!!!!?!?@?@? AND, WE want fucking OIL from our own coasts! The only candidate willing to do that is MCCAIN!!!!!!!!!!!1
1st, suckers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm never voting.
go mccain2008
WE dont want NO BLACK men in the WHITE HOUSE! REmember !!!!!!!!!!!?!?@?@? AND, WE want fucking OIL from our own coasts! The only candidate willing to do that is MCCAIN!!!!!!!!!!!1
WE dont want NO BLACK men in the WHITE HOUSE! REmember !!!!!!!!!!!?!?@?@? AND, WE want fucking OIL from our own coasts! The only candidate willing to do that is MCCAIN!!!!!!!!!!
i love you perez!
1st?
LETS DRILL IN OUR OWN COUNTRY YOU FUCKING OBAMA MORONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHAT IS WITH YOU FUCKING "AMERICANS" VOTING FOR A MUSLIM??? IF HE GETS ELECTED, GEORGE WASHINGTON WILL COME OUT OF HIS GRAVE AND HAUNT ALL OF YOUR SORRY ASSES
MCCAIN IS THE ONLY ONE OUT OF THE TWO THAT WILL DRILL IN OUR OWN SOIL. OBAMA JUST WANTS TO MAKE HIS MUSLIM RELATIVES IN TEH MIDDLE EAST RICHER THAN THEY ALREADY ARE! WAKE UP PEOPLE! VOTE MCCAIN!
To narrow the candidates down to "war" and "no war" is a gross misrepresentation of the facts and each candidates stance on this. I guess this post was to cater to the simple-minded, as that's what the blogger is.
Great news, since those polls mean absolutely NOTHING! Our system is based on the Electoral College, not the Popular Vote. Remember, Kerry won the popular vote - where is he now? Sure as heck not president!
first?
OBAMA ALL THE WAY!
doubt i'm first! as in, i'm definitely not..
CLINTON 08! What, no Clinton? Sorry - MCCAIN 08!!!!!
first!
Fuck Obama…hate that piece of shit…VOTE MCAIN!
YAYYYY! it needs to stay that way.
:)
FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If Obama gets in office, hears exactly what's going to happen.he will pull the troops and that would be a terrible mistake because everything is finally starting to stabilize in Iraq (but you don't ever hear about it because 99% of the media wants the war to go bad so they can bitch about the goverment and you'll never hear about it in the media (they are all pretty much liberal) So he will make the mistake of pulling the troops and then all of our hard work will go down the drain because as soon as we pull out, chaos will resume and all of the terrorist's will start creating havoc again and then we will have to go back in to stop all of the civil wars that will result..
Obama wants changes but he never really says what that exactly is.. And he only has two years of experience! And Be prepared for the United States to be attacked again under obama's presidency. Obaman thinks that you can sit down with the crazy terrorists and come to an agreement.. sorry but iran & other terrorist nations will not come to any agreements with us.. they want to kill us and that's all there is too it..
IF YOU THINK OBAMA IS GOING TO STOP THE WAR, THEN YOU, MY FRIEND, ARE A RETARD.
lets put it this way if barack becomes president and takes american troops out of a very vulnerable country (iraq) we are gonna get fucked up so bad. START THE DRAFT!!!!
Interesting all the FAKE COMMENTS of Obama supporters trying to show McCain supporters and Republicans as RACIST. Which they are NOT. McCain was a prisoner of war for five years so to show him as Pro-War is ridiculous. I can't think of anyone more against war than he is. Is he tough on terrorists and determined to keep this country secure and safe? YES! Obama supporters posting fake comments…just as fake as your candidate.
Re: KKKMa –
you dumbass
Re: Meg – You people threatning your votes for McCain because Clinton didn't get the nomination are acting like a bunch of spoiled children who didn't get there way so in turn are going to vote for someone who is the complete opposite of what Clinton stands for rather than vote for Obama who has basically identical beliefs as she does.
Go McCain. Don't get fooled by Osama, I mean Obama.
It's - Clinton '08….wait! no Clinton? Fuck that shit…GRAVEL '08!
Barack and Roll - HOW LAME! Barack Obama supporters have the lamest sayings!!! I'm sorry, I'm just not ready for the White House to be the "Black House"
Mccain says he will lower income tax for the working people and what does Barack say uh i dont think so! who would you vote for
Barack is a dumbass we want CLINTON!!!!!
Figures…….only stupid Americans would vote for John McBush …..afterall, they gave chimpy 8 yrs and look where they are now!!! You'd have to be stupid to ask for 4 more years of a crappy dollar, recession, middle-class job loss, trillions spent on war, etc……..
Any other person in the world, with even half a brain would elect Obama. Americans are too stupid and don't deserve him.
….and I am vindicated by these stupid posts! The racist slanders, the propoganda, the outright lies…….
America has got to be one of the worst places in the world. I'd live in Bangladesh before I moved to the U.S of crap.
LOL! McCain is going to win by a landslide. And let me remind you all..if it weren't for wars, you wouldn't be able to come on a website and say all the horrible, insulting, disgusting things you get to say BECAUSE YOU ARE A FREE PEOPLE. If you're not willing to fight for freedom, you don't deserve it. And by the way, Iraq is doing very well today. The surge is working, but you wouldn't know it because the Press doesn't want you to know because that would mean THEY WERE WRONG all this time.
Re: Kelly – uh…Kerry did NOT win the popular vote. Go back to school.
Ok. So I like both on some of thier views. I think you need to address what is going on in this country RIGHT NOW. GAS! We are suffering at the pump what are we going to do? DO IT NOW
Defend America or Issue a Warrant?
why wont obama have a debate with mccain, is he afraid all his supports will see he cant handle a tough spot? i cant wait to see him sweat when he's forced to face mccain
"No War"/"War" That has to be one of the dumbest photo-scribbles ever.
Re: zk – Where are you from? You think Bangladesh is better than the US…JEALOUS..JEALOUS..JEALOUS. We are the best country, the most generous people, in the world. Yea, boatloads of people are breaking into Bangladesh. You guys crack me up. But if you feel that way, PLEASE stay out of my great country. THE BEST COUNTRY IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD.
Re: zk –
please go back then
THAT'S RIGHT. MCCAIN IS FOR NATIONAL DEFENSE FOR AMERICA AT HOME AND ABROAD. MCCAIN IS THE ONLY CANDIDATE WHO PROMISES TO BUILD AND MAINTAIN THAT FENCE AGAINST THE FOREIGN INVADERS FROM THE SOUTH. WE NEED A FIGHTER LIKE MCCAIN TO FIGHT FOR OUR COUNTRY AT HOME. VOTE MCCAIN I AM NOT AFRAID OF THE MUSLIMS BECAUSE WE CAN HANDLE THEM AND SO CAN ISRAEL. I AM AFRAID OF OUR COUNTRY BECOMING A THIRD WORLD POVERTY RIDDEN DRUG LORD CONTROLLED BANANA REPUBLIC LIKE MEXICO. STAND UP FOR AMERICAN SANITY AND VOTE FOR A PROVEN FIGHTER OF AMERICAN IDEAS. VOTE MCCAIN!!!
Keep the politics to people that now what there saying OK sweaty if we need to now how to get BUTT F&&&ed we will ask you!
Barack is nice guy and we dont need a nice guy to be president SORRY! WE need someone who has been through it all and has tons of experience McCain is the best choice for america. He is a republican and he still thinks bush is a douchbag.
McCain loves black people more than obama does!
Funny, AOL has a poll of McCain currently leading 55% to Obama's 45%, funny Perez doesn't report that one…
Re: angel – You mean the one who fought for religious freedom and intentionally ensured that our fundemental founding documents excluded references to Christianity (by the way, Obama is Christian; if you understand basic facts about his personal history you would recognize that the Muslim slur makes absolutely NO SENSE when you consider the facts). Also, anyone that knows anything about Islam understands that you can't be a "secret muslim" and certainly can't attend a Christian church for decades. It would be a complete abomination and you would be damned by Allah for doing so.
Doesnt Obama support partial birth abortions?
My comment just got yanked…wow…it said AOL's poll shows McCain leading 55% over Barack's 45%…funny Perez doesn't report that AND yanks comments
I AM A WOMAN AND AN INDEPENDENT REGISTERED VOTER AND I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR OBAMA, MY VOTE IS FOR MCCAIN.
THIS IS NOT THE MOST HANDSOME SPEECH GIVER COMPETITION, THIS IS A VOTE FOR THE MOST IMPORTANT JOB IN THE BIG PICTURE OF OUR WORLD AT AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TIME. UNFORTUNATELY SEN. OBAMA DOES NOT HAVE THE QUALIFICATIONS TO BE THE U.S. PRESIDENT AND PROPERLY MANAGE 2 ONGOING WARS. SENATOR MCCAIN HAPPENS TO HAVE 2 SONS IN THE MILITARY, ONE IN THE IRAQ WAR PRESENTLY AND ONE ON HIS WAY SO I TEND TO BELIEVE HE IS GOING TO MAKE THE BEST DECISIONS TO KEEP US SAFE. WE TRULY ARE MAKING GREAT PROGRESS OVER THERE AND OBAMA HAS NOT EVEN BOTHERED TO SEE IT FOR HIMSELF FOR 2 YEARS! HE MIGHT WANT TO EDUCATE HIMSELF AND GET AN UPDATE ON THE MATTER.
ANYONE WOULD WOULD THINK PULLING ALL TROOPS OUT OF IRAQ IMMEDIATELY IS A SMART MOVE IS PANDERING TO THE "ANTI-WAR" CROWD AND IF HE INDEED PULLS OUT THE SOLDIERS IMMEDIATELY AS HE CLAIMS, WE ARE ALL FUCKED AND WILL BE RIGHT BACK OVER THERE UNDER EVEN MORE HELLISH CONDITIONS. MY BET IS THAT HE WOULD SIMPLY CHANGE HIS TUNE ONCE ELECTED BUT WILL SAY ANYTHING JUST TO GET ELECTED. I WONDER IF HE WILL BE AS GOOD OF A JUDGE OF CHARACTER WHEN DEALING WITH THE NUTBAG PRESIDENT OF IRAN AS HE WAS DEALING WITH HIS BEST FRIEND NUTBAG PREACHER FOR 20 YEARS.
For the racist comments on this site proves that you people are lcowns and you should be embarrassed of your comments….You would if we could get your ID and show the world your face. You're a bunch of nobodys hiding behind a compter printing retarded and ignorant remarks…This is why I'm for abortions in this country some of the racist trash has to be removed. Well atleast you clowns are being honest and you stopped lying about this man being a racist and muslim.
Back in the day if you did not want to be drafted all you had to do was STAY IN SCHOOL! DOES THAT MAKE SENSE yes it does do you know why because IT WORKED!! HA HA
re=2402617]Re: EATME[/re]
They must be very proud of their parent coming up with this screen-name…lol! They are even more happier that moomy and daddy still wants them to continue the war so they could die in Iraq…you're pathetic!

My fiance and I are just back from a trip to USA and we couldn't believe the tension between White, Black and Hispanic people. It made us feel really uncomfortable and reading these posts confirms everything we were aware of on our visit. What a sorry state of affairs.
people that say mccain is to old should remember that older makes you wisers
You know, back in 1980, Jimmy Carter was ahead in the polls, too.
Re: Noria –
obama will only make the war worse and probaly will be fighting it in our own backyards
McCain'08
Re: oback – IF YOU THINK MC CAIN GOING TO TAKE OUR TROOPS OUT THEN YOUR THR MORON
My fellow Americans, firstly, I don't have anything against the Democrats, but ask yourself this question: What would it profit the United States to win the war in Iraq then lose the war at home. We are in a war people for the very soul of our nation. America is no longer America, it is fast becoming a bigger, albeit, poorer Mexico. Our culture, our social institutions, our sacred language, dammit our very future are being sucked away by the misguided elite who don't really care. The elite are rich and will isolate themselves against the menacing hoardes of Mexico. But most of us cannot. mccain will put an end to all amnesty and work hard to stop the flow of Mexicans into our country. We must vote Republician this year more than any other.
He can TALK about change all he wants. Obama does not have the knowledge/experience to run a talent show, let alone our fine Country. I'll give him this, he could run a marathon. It pretty much ends right there. What has he done to show he has the capability to lead our nation? Anyone? Anyone?
We will still be in war no matter who is president.
MCCAIN has my vote. Ive heard it several times that certain people have said if Obama wins things are gonna change and certain people will get respect. If he wins things will only get worse.
" Give Al-Qaeda a Chance Vote Obama"
Re: Mei –
tell me how Obama will make the war worse. and tell me why it will be taken to our own backyards. unless you're implying that you're racist by your latter comment.
Damn you are so uninformed Perez - tagging "No War" next to Obama and "War" next to McCain. They are both for war - Obama has no clear plan on how to withdraw the troops from Iraq, the US will never not have a strong presence there. Obama is already posturing to invade Iran, if Bush doesn't do it prior to leaving office trust Obama will do it either prior to his second term or at the beginning of his next term. Additionally his position on Isreal supports further de-stabilization in the region.
Do you need the links, the copies of his speeches posted? Or how about you take a few minutes and search them out yourself. Considering the size of your audience you should take the time to source your opinions before posting them.
Obama = War, McCain = War - the US is not going to find peace in a corrupt two-party system.
will do…..go mccain!
McCain - Strong USA
Obama - no more USA
that fact that it's only 5% which is probably in the margin of error is very, very good news for Republicans. the fact that after Obama's post nomination bounce and in the words of McCain "The damaged Republican brand" that it's even close is amazing and should be a cuase for worry from teh Dems
Re: karen – this white woman is
Compromise? End the war as soon as possible and use the money and militery to secure our borders. I will vote for anyone who endorses that idea and so will most Americans.
The American Flags are being displayed improperly . . .
Bull shit perez, if you think obama is going to pull troops out your crazy. Damn, will you believe everything you read
I guess this means McCain will win handily in the fall. Obama should be up by fifteen points right now. The republicans haven't even begun to define Obama….and trust me when I say it's coming. The traditional battleground states are going to go McCain.
Obama's old lady shops @ Target!! Big fucking deal, are they trying to tell us that she's "normal" like the rest of us? I seriously don't think so. It's all a game, & I feel sorry for the people who vote his black ass in office. He's telling one game right now to the American public, but when the show starts & if he is elected, it's a whole nother ballgame. Obama is digging a hole so big for the United States, your children's grandchildren will be paying the price for all of these idiot's mistakes.
Re: FLAG – McCain voted against a fence, and he voted to allow illegals amnesty. Nice try, typical Republican drop out.
One has to wonder why so many Hillary voters would cut their nose off to spite their face. I am referring to the ones voting for McCain? I really don't have any preference for the demorcratic nominee.
But when people basically say "we will show you and vote for McCain"
there is something fundamentally wrong with those people.
There is something wrong with is whole country and we need a change whether it was Hillary or Barack.
So be cry babies and vote for McCain or work harder yourselves instead of waitingt for someone else to break that glass ceiling.
As a gay biracial woman that glass ceiling has reared it's ugly head time and time again at me, but I keep moving and striving.
I offer you the same advice instead of crossing your arms like a 6 year old who didn't get their way.
Hillary isn't done by the way, she has only begun.
Democrat for president should be the mantra.
Michelle Obama was very likable and attractive on the View. She's learning the political game. Stop all the lies…Who could do more harm to this country than Bush and Chenney have? I think we need a change for sure…

WTF is this war/no war shit.You fucking dumbass.
I cant believe at this day and age some of you are still racist and ignorant!
Grow up people look at the world around you!
You cant live in a white world because it doesnt exist.
Stop bitchin and do something to make our country and our world better.
And to all of you who dont vote your lazy loosers!
Its your role as an american to vote especially now. Bad things are happening all around us and people like you are keeping our country from being the best it can be.
Obama is the bridge to bring us all together being he is half white and half black. This man is going to do this we just have to support him. Im shocked at all the people on these posts who would rather live in a horrible world than vote for him. SAD SAD SAD!
Re: mama –
Obama isn't "the bridge to bring us all together". You're naive. He's another rich guy who will do everything he can to protect the elite. He's just going to pander to the proles and the only things you'll ever get from him will be superficial.
His advisors are all old-guard types that have worked in previous administrations. Proudly administrating things like the genocide in East Timor back in the early '90s, eloquently forwarding the arine Corps/Army counterinsurgency handbook, bashfully accepting credit for starting the modern jihad movement. Advisors make policy descions, they route the information to Obama. Seriously - look this stuff up, the information is out there.
Let see. There has not been a terrorist attack in the United States since 2001, there is a functioning and stable democracy in the heart of the Middle East, Al queda is utterly destroyed in Iraq and now we learn they are nearly dead in the Phillippines, and there were less US soldiers killed in Iraq in May than were killed in the same month in Detroit or Chicago — and you define the two candidates as war versus no war? Obama will place the US at the same risk as the other presidents who thought we could talk to terrorists and change their minds and led to 20 years of attacks and killings of Americans. Now that we are winning big time in Iraq you want to pull out and reignite the defeated al-Queda? Huh?
GO MCCAIN!!!!!
Re: Stepu –
The United States has been faithful to a foreign policy of perpetrating terror on other nations as well as there own - a few examples…
Regan > recall reading about the atrocities in Central America? Bush 1 > Iran Contra, Clinton > Haiti, Bush 2 > Led America into war on lies
What measurements do you use to judge the US as winning this war?
