I think one of the reasons they are so angry and have resorted to smear tactics is because Obama has been able to use their own methods for rallying his grass roots supporters and in my opinion without having to use fear or bigotry in the process.

who is angry?

Y'all

I think Barack has set a new standard for how to run a successful campaign. I don't think he has used their tactics, which are outdated. Barack has deployed technology, use of the internet and text messaging that will be studied for years to come in future campaigns. I believe his use of technology to reach out has also resulted in his record breaking ability to raise campaign contributions.

The McCain campaign cannot compete and that is why I think there is anger. They criticize Barack for how much he has raised and spent.

possibly, it is because obama stated he would support campaign finance reform...when asked by Mccain......then when the time came to vote......he went back on his word....

get used to that scenario if obama makes it to the White House..

And guess what Mc Cain could have changed his mind as well. To me he has not done anything wrong, instead he has made it possible for the average person to give directly and isn't that what republicans are always fight for the right to do what you want with your money?

You have it all wrong. McCain campaign is jealous.

you work for the McCain campaign??? what makes you say this....the polls i see is that it is a tight race.....no clear cut favorite

oh you meant beat i was wondering what the bet was

my keyboard does that a lot as well

my bad

must be on fox

I just hope whoever becomes the next president will be able to work with both parties in Congress to achieve results that will help the nation.

ummmm Gallup

from last friday


On top of that in the Gallup poll, "traditional voters" -- those who are more likely to head to the polls -- give Obama 49 percent and McCain 47 percent, well within the 2-point margin of error.

Looks like another Gore vs Bush campaign that wind up in one state. I hope it won't be Florida! lol

I just watched Recount with Kevin Spacey. Wow what a movie if you haven't seen it. It is about the campaign of 2000 with Al Gore and Bush. If you haven't seen it then it is worth the watch.

it will be close..maybe the next election will provide a better "selection" to choose from.....as in more than 2....

That would be great actually. I see it happening in other countries, I am surprised it doesn't happen here yet.

Old news. Here is todays GALLUP POLL:

Gallup Daily: Obama Retains Significant Lead

October 19, 2008
Barack Obama again leads John McCain nationally by 10 percentage points among all registered voters,
52% to 42%.

tell the whole story man


Gallup's expanded likely voter model, based on respondents' answers to questions about current interest in the election and intention to vote, shows a 50% to 46% race, which is a more narrow lead for Obama among this group than in previous days. If turnout in this year's election follows traditional patterns by which the voting electorate skews towards those who usually vote as well as those who are interested in this year's election, the race shows Obama leading at 49% to 47%, where it has been among this group for three days.

100,000 saw Obama is St. Louis.

I was one of them.

70,000 showed up in Kansas City, MO.

That says something about the people.
