Poll-itics: Not good enough, John Sidney McCain
By GottaLaff
Read the last sentence:
The latest Gallup tracking poll shows Sen. Barack Obama's advantage over Sen. John McCain "has been shrinking since the start of the Republican National Convention, and is now down to just two percentage points -- 47% to 45% -- too close to call."
The latest Rasmussen tracking poll shows Obama barely edging McCain, 46% to 45%.
Clearly, McCain is enjoying a bounce out of the GOP convention as he closes the gap with Obama. Today's numbers include polling done from Wednesday through Friday of last week; the Sunday and Monday numbers will include the full impact of McCain's acceptance speech. It should be interesting.
Nate Silver previews the next few days: "Last night and tonight should be among the best individual nights of polling that the Republicans see all year. If the best they can do is close the race to a tie, or an Obama +1 on those nights, they are not going to win the race based on inertia alone." This must be why they've re-started their "unpatriotic" campaign again. They resort to flag/flag pin issues when they have nothing else. And I think we've pretty much established that they have nothing else, because we know it's not about the issues.

Silly Republicans Are At It Again
I was in a chat room where silly republicans were whining about U S Flags being trashed at The Dem Convention in Denver. If those flags were made in The USA, I would have a problem with that, but the fact is these whiny little Nazi chat room republicans are complaining over a flag most likely outsourced & made in China.
The Republicans went into the trash , recycled outsourced flags & passed them out at their convention. The stupid republican party think if you go to a store, purchase a U S flag, U S flag pin or a magnetic sticker to put their car of " We Support The Troops" that were made in other countries, it makes them patriotic.
Here's my thought on this: If the whiny cowardly republicans cared so much about The USA flag & their country, they would buy american made products instead of outsourced goods. If you gave a damn about your country, you would not purchase a U S flag made in another country. If you gave a damn about the economy, you would not buy goods & services from other countries to boost their economy & not yours. If the whiny cowardly republicans cared about their country, they would get off their computers & go enlist in the military to support the war in Iraq they claim they are for. In other words, buy American goods to boost America's economy & keep American people employed.
So, I just don't have a problem with a U S flag made in another country being disposed of. I buy American flags made in my own country that supports American workers that made it & America's economy & by the way, if those flags were trashed... it was the clean up crew's fault that trashed them & not Obama or The DNC's fault. If you rent a place to hold a party or convention, the owner's staff is responsible for clean up, not the renter. Republicans are morons.
