your posts are more and more sounding like subway ads.

I'll give him that McCain is naturally funnier, but man...Obama was good too. Totally different styles, but they're both great.
If John McCain were this good on the stump, it'd be a totally different race.

AP poll out today 44% obama to 42% mccain and they polled more dems. rut row.
-
when will you realize that polls don't mean shit and were created by the media to control people like you who take them seriously?
-
oh rly?
-
your two word response speaks volumes.

It isn't that polls don't mean anything - it is that single polls don't really mean anything.

That will give you a much more accurate picture of what is actually happening. Is the race tightening? Maybe. But we don't know yet.

It's called an outlier.
Just like the one that has Obama up by 14.
And yeah they were both pretty good last night.

obama wasnt that funny...

I bet Obama could take McCain in a thumbwrestling match.

I think it's the contraction representing "O'Reilly".

"You may never have heard of the AP-Yahoo poll before. This is for good reason, since a look at the fine print reveals that it's not really intended for its horse race numbers (the AP uses a separate agency, GfK, for those).
For one thing, the poll is not timely. It entered the field on October 3 -- two weeks ago -- and left the field on October 13, which was this Monday.
For another thing, it's an internet-based poll:
The survey was conducted using the web-enabled KnowledgePanelSM, a probability-based Panel designed to be representative of the U.S. population. Initially, participants are chosen scientifically by a random selection of telephone numbers. Persons in selected households are then invited by telephone to participate in the webenabled KnowledgePanelSM. For those who agree to participate, but do not already have Internet access, Knowledge Networks provides at no cost an Internet appliance and Internet service connection. People who already have computers and Internet service are permitted to participate using their own equipment. Panelists then receive unique log-in information for accessing surveys online, and then are sent emails three to four times a month inviting them to participate in research.
For a third thing, it has no likely voter screen, and the horse race question does not even appear to have a registered voter screen ... it's a poll of all adults.
Go, Drudge! Go!"
i'll agree that mccain was much funnier at that charity event last night, though.

this is not linked on drudge report, therefore it does not exist

Remember how killer Bob Dole was as a Daily Show correspondent AFTER the elections? Or how comical Al Gore has been (well, relatively speaking) since running? Makes you wonder, huh?

Yeah but McCain's dad could beat up Obama's dad. In fact he could unleash the entire pacific fleet on him!
