Yeah - Rasmussen is always where I go for the polling numbers.

McCain has some pretty conservative views - his people have just done a fantastic job of PR work on his image.

For what it's worth Rasmussen has been on Fox News several times the past few days with their polling data.

Does it surprise anyone I watch Fox News. Hannity & Colmes is where its at.

Great comments, especially the last few posts. I love Fox News, too. I spent some time this past Saturday inside watching Fox News - Fox does a nice job covering politics. Snap on Hannity & Colmes- hadn't seen them in awhile & forgot how good the show was. I remember watching Hannity & Colmes 8 years ago when the whole Bush/Gore recount in Florida episode was going on & they were really exciting to watch then.

As much as it pains me to say it, I think McCain will be our next president. I don't think America is ready for anything else.

I don't think it's as bad as you make out. I would vote for either a woman or a person of color who embraced the ideals I find important. I will NOT vote for someone simply because of which public restroom s/he uses, or by which box s/he checks under "race/nationality".

What I would really like is to vote FOR a candidate, to really believe and desire the same concepts as he or she. I'm sick to death of voting for the better or best of all evils.

Republicans are bad for my livelihood. I am pretty sure I'm voting for Obama and I would be voting FOR Obama...not against someone else (as was the case for me in the last presidential election). As much as I dislike Clinton, I'd rather have her than McCain. But, I have a sinking feeling that when Democrats and independents have an opportunity to vote privately, they may not vote for the candidate they publicly support.

I'm not a Democrat and have never voted for a Democrat. This year will be the first time.
