I think we will take Missouri...looking at the internals of this poll shows Obama only getting 83% of the AA vote and McCain getting 11%.
Now lets be serious... Hillary only got between 3-5% during the Primary and McCain is going to get 11%? I think hell will freeze over before that happens.
It's never always as it seems and just when we think we are so different, this picture reminds us that we are more alike then we know it. I guess that's the greatness of America!!
McCain has called Obama Naive and basically stupid for wanting to meet with Dictators to further the US agenda. Obama has made it public about his desire for a progressive foreign policy, with no secrets to the American people and the world. Here is McCain meeting with Chiles dictator in 1985 privately and in secret. What McCain is saying to us is that he will meet in private with dictators and will hide it from the American people and conduct secret deals with these dictators while squashing Democracy in these countries (ala Iran Contra style)...McCain CANNOT BE TRUSTED.

Not only do they buy the Caribou Barbie, they are now paying big bucks to dress the barbie. This all seems like playing house for McCain and his new bride and not a politican campaign for the Presidency of the United States of America! The highest office in the world and you have to use campaign funds to dress a candidate? How low can you go before you bottom out?

Jeanne Cummings has an amazing find amid the new FEC reports. Initially, the McCain-Palin campaign declined to comment on how, in the words of spokeswoman Maria Comella, "strategic decisions regarding how financial resources available to the campaign are spent."
But late tonight, the campaign decided to do just that, putting out a statement from spokeswoman Tracey Schmitt saying: "It was always the intent that the clothing go to a charitable purpose after the campaign."
The Republican National Committee appears to have spent more than $150,000 to clothe and accessorize vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin and her family since her surprise pick by John McCain in late August.
According to financial disclosure records, the accessorizing began in early September and included bills from Saks Fifth Avenue in St. Louis and New York for a combined $49,425.74.
The records also document a couple of big-time shopping trips to Neiman Marcus in Minneapolis, including one $75,062.63 spree in early September.
The RNC also spent $4,716.49 on hair and makeup through September after reporting no such costs in August.
I just read this at Dailykos and it made me cry, I think we all feel the same.

I have been a strong supporter of Barack Obama from 2004 and I have always believed in his long term approach to this campaign for Presidency.
Here is the problem I have right now and I hope you hear me out and follow through. The commercials for the Obama campaign are the worst I have ever seen. Obama is the best candidate we have had in my life time and I am 35 years old and yet the advertising team is selling him short. The ads are flat and do not reach the gut level of people, people respond on a gut level and are not concern with the facts in a commercial. The advertising team need to reach me and the millions of Americans on the gut level.
I am going to give you one example of where the team fails and continues to not understand people and how the mind works. McCain released an ad saying that Obama wants to teach Sex to kindergarteners...there was no response from the Obama team except to say that the ad was distorting Obama's position. So what, we all know that McCain is lying, so be ready to respond. It took Planned Parenthood to respond for the Obama campaign in a way that reaches the gut level...view link below.

What’s the difference between Palin and Obama?
Well, one is a well turned down, good looking, and let’s be honest, pretty sexy piece of eye candy!
The other one kills her own food.
What’s the difference between Sarah Palin & Dick Cheney?
Lipstick!
John McCain has a problem with his party. His Phoenix-rising-from-the-ashes campaign- largely driven by his success with moderates and non-Republicans- has thrown a curveball to the GOP, which has been vocal in its criticism of McCain in the past. Now they're under pressure to fall in line behind a man whom they've expressed serious concern about in the past, or risk handing the White House keys to a Democrat.
Though many Republicans have begun to coalesce around McCain in recent months, the statements they've made over the years are telling of their personal opinions of the Arizona Senator.
This FISA bill bullshit is just that BULLSHIT. It is all smoke and mirrors for the dummy Liberal Democrats and they are all falling for it. This is a non issue from day one and the sooner that Liberals, Progressives and those concerned with civil liberties and Privacy face the facts, we are going to continue chasing our tails. The Republicans have set us up and knowing how stupid some of us can get we have fallen for it hook, line and sinker. Do you really think that Conservatives are not concerned with privacy and wire tapping on their phones? Do you really think that a Republican living in
