Polls show McCain closes Obama’s lead
It looks like it’s now anyone’s race in the US presidential elections according to some polls, though I do know that the candidates have small surges at the time of their respective national conventions. The Democratic one is coming up so from a media-exposure point of view, Sen. Barack Obama might simply be saving some big guns till then. Others are saying that Sen. John McCain’s negative campaigns against his rival might be working, allowing him to narrow the gap. I say there is a temporary (till the convention) lull for Obama because of overexposure.
- Zogby poll, released with Reuter (percentages): McCain 46, Obama 41 (sample 1,089)
- Los Angeles Times–Bloomberg: Obama 45, McCain 43, when not including minor-party candidates; Obama 42, McCain 41 otherwise (1,248)
- Gallup: Obama 45, McCain 44 (2,648)

Obama isn't qualified to be President either by temperament or experience. I question his judgment in dealing with either domestic issues or foreign policy. I see him, as a policy equivalent to Jimmy Carter and that is not good.
I don't like the prospect of another four years of Republican foreign policy, unless McCain has some secret plan to actually co-operate with the rest of the world instead of the usual mixture of bullying and bribing that goes on. America does not have the right to boss the rest of the world around like it does.
Maybe I should settle for British Prime Minister. I still carry a British passport.
Jack, You can register to vote via the Internet now- use my address. ;) Then vote absentee.
But I want to be your president!
On the other hand, Obama's radical associates and his racist mentor Rev. Wright would have doomed other candidates. This entire election is an interesting drama.
How many houses do the candidates really have. McCain's wife owns a lot of stuff. Obama is a millionaire, why doesn't he own more houses? Houses, houses, who owns the most houses.
I think we should count the number of TVs. Who owns the most TVs. How about cars. What will be next? Who owns the most dogs? The election may be going to the dogs. I don't know. I am speechless.
And radicalism would indeed have doomed other candidates; I think the Obama effect is, as you said on your blog, considerably the creation of much of the media.
The discussion about how much the McCains and Obamas have highlights one sad thing: a middle-class, truly representative American who understands the pressures of everyday people might never have a shot at the White House.
But think of the exposure and all the issues of Lucire you would sell!
