#1 everytime a pollster calls me - I hang up. None of their damned biz.

#2 The more Obama opens his mouth and gets out in public, the more he will show he is not even close to ready for the Presidency and how liberal his ideas are and the less the MSM will be able to cover for him.

#3 Obama's lead grows to 13 points when independent Ralph Nader and Libertarian Bob Barr are added, with Obama at 48 percent, McCain at 35 percent, Nader at 5 percent, and Barr at 2 percent

So let me get this straight...with the ultra-liberal Nader entering the race, Obama gains 1 point and the center-right McCain watches his base flee and loses 5 points.

No wonder no one trusts polls.

#5 in any poll, look at when the questions were asked (figure who's available at home during the weekday) and what partisan %'s were polled. They typically over-represent Donks

#6 Polls don't matter much yet.

McCain is possibly being helped by blaming gas prices on Democrats.

Of course he he voted against opening ANWR when he had the chance and also reacted in his usual self righteous angry-man way when challenged on this (much to the praise of the NYTimes).

#7 Looks like the media has work to do. Better order bigger pom poms.

#10 I almost put a McCain sticker on my car yesterday. The politics of fear? you bet, I fear we won't be able to survive an Obama rule.

#12 Maybe some backlash to the asskissing the US press is doing - and its editing out all the gaffes and errors.

#13 personally I didn't think Aris's comment was either wildly off topic or abusive or obscene

- a bit crazy but that's not banned
