That doesn't suprise me.  The GOP has distinct lines of seperation right now.  The far right, the right, the just right of middle and the fence walkers.  We had so many candidates this cycle that it fractured the party down those lines of seperation from the begining.

Every section had a viable candidate in mind and we end up with the guy that is actually falling off the left side of the fence and needed Mrs. Palin to drag him back to the middle.  I respect the man for his military career but what he's done since 1980 has been less than impressive.  Maybe next time!

It won't take very long for the American public to realize that O'Bama is completely unqualified for the position.  Right now, it's all emotion and someone said in another post, if it's below the fold on the front page of the Sunday paper, no one is going to read it.

He has been campaigning front and center on the national stage for how long now? He has had how many"coincidental" controversies pop up now? He is pulling away in all major polls and it is now crunch time...... :-\

Consider that John McCain and Sarah Palin have spent little or no time in the New England states since the primaries! 

We haven't even SEEN a McCain ad on TV in weeks in MD/DC.  The local radio stations in DC are 2 to 1 Obama to McCain ads.

It won't take very long for the American public to realize that O'Bama is completely unqualified for the position.  Right now, it's all emotion and someone said in another post, if it's below the fold on the front page of the Sunday paper, no one is going to read it.

The "average" voter in this country DOESN"T care if he's QUALIFIED or not.  They'll vote for him anyway.  There is a slim chance that in the next couple of weeks some of these "voter irregularities" and the other questionable tactics/issues will be reported out by someone but who will see it?  The MSM report that? Yeah right.  Blogs? The average person doesn't look at them.  So other than hearsay and what most people will blow off as political BS how do you convince the "average" voter?  Unless Obuma gets arrested for his involvement with Fannie Mae (not illegal), and blocking Saudi and Iraqi peace negotiations (not going to happen) he's got it in the bag almost wilthout McCain or Palin going soft.

When seconds mean the difference between life and death, the police will be minutes away.

I meant after (IF) he's elected Eric.  Hopefully he'll fall flat on face the first time a real crisis arises and we can get rid of him after his first term or figure out a way to impeach him.

I can't stand this guy either!  Just wanted to make that clear!

OK...I locked the poll down.  Let's wait a bit after tonight's debate and see if we think he improved he methodology.
