    Electing Obama as President Of The United States would be the equivalent of appointing Jack Kevorkian as Director of The National Institutes Of Health. National suicide. Greg Neubeck

    Read the poll.
    Ob McC UnDec
    Republicans 12 78 10 =100
    Democrats 80 11 9 =100
    Independents 48 36 16 =100
    First, Polls can be designed to say whatever you want them to say.. Liberal polls are ALWAYS slanted.
    If you notice, besides the fact that these are supposedly registered voters and not LIKELY voters, Republicans are basically the opposite of the Democrats (80%-11% and 78%-12%). So-called independents are 12% over for O'bama but 16% of them are undecided. In essence, they are tied. Then throw in the fact the people don't tell the truth to pollsters. I was called on Thursday and wanted to say O'bama just to f them up! I'm sure that many do the same. O'bama will never be POTUS. The first black man or woman or be elected POTUS will be more conservative than liberal and not some pseudo foreigner with anti-American tendencies and spouse.

    I don't put much stockin into polls. Usaully they are completed during the day when McCain supporters are working to pay taxes to support the Obama supporters.

      I am proud of you. A true elitist. Are you afraid you will lose your countryclub membership in October? Time to start thinking of someone other than yourself, if you are capable. If not, you have amassed enough wealth during the last eight years to move back to Germany, or France or wherever. Maybe you can save additional money by having the children wash the Bmw, or perhaps you can downsize mansions!!

        Apolitical...I think the election is in November, but you go ahead and vote in October. As far as the comment...Yeah, over the years I have been able to support me and my family. Of course I had to obtain a Master's Degree(before you go there, I work two jobs while my wife worked one to pay for my education), work hard at my job and advance. Over the past several years, we have cut back to due to the economy. Do I think Obama is the answer? NO! As a ,matter of fact, if Obama is elected I see more hard time economically but the good thing will be, after 4 years (if he is elected), you Kool-aid drinking Obamabots will realize what a fake he is and he will never be re-elected.

          Hopefully, you didn't pay too much for that "educaton". Anyone who says "me and " gives themself away

            Yeah, you are right. Didn't realize this was an english class. I should probably do as Obama and have people write for me.

          Yeah, and I bet you can fill that tank with Obama's speeches.

    I'm going to quit reading Drudge as well if he continues to post crap (pardon the French) like this!

    Let's make this easy on the Obama supporters. I SWEAR that I will vote for Obama in November if you can:

    "List for me 5 examples of work Obama has done in his political career thus far that qualify him for the duties of the White House. Please include states or major cities governed, multi-billion dollar budgets approved and managed, cabinets selected, major legislation drafted, sponsored and passed, leadership taken in crossing the aisle to work with Republicans, businesses run successfully."

    Go ahead. I won't hold my breath waiting for your response.

    One final question. If Barack can do all these amazing things as he claims, WHY is there NO EVIDENCE of him EVER doing them until now? By his age, most men would have created a track record of some sort that demonstrates his messianic abilities. Where is the track record?

    If Obama was arrested for claiming he was qualified to be President, would there be enough evidence to convict him?

      McCain fails on most of your questions/standards too....so does Obama...and our current president owned a business, our vice president is tied to Haliburton....I hope you were joking when you asked those questions....and believe me I am letting you off easy....if you are the least bit serious, let me know because I will go point over point with you....

    • Posted By: marksgershenson @ 06/21/2008 9:53:44 AM

      using your standards, McCain fails too, your point....

    Obama seen as a Muslim overseas
    Thomas Lifson
    The Obama campaign faces a burgeoning problem: the tendency of certain highly-placed Muslims overseas to declare that he is of their faith. The latest to do so is Libya's Qadhafi, in remarks made marking the anniversary of the U.S. air raid on Libya. MEMRI provides this transcript.......

    There are elections in America now. Along came a black citizen of Kenyan African origins, a Muslim, who had studied in an Islamic school in Indonesia. His name is Obama. All the people in the Arab and Islamic world and in Africa applauded this man. They welcomed him and prayed for him and for his success, and they may have even been involved in legitimate contribution campaigns to enable him to win the American presidency.

    We still hope that this black man will take pride in his African and Islamic identity, and in his faith, and that [he will know] that he has rights in America, and that he will change America from evil to good, and that America will establish relations that will serve it well with other peoples, especially the Arabs.

    NOBAMA!!!

    I'm a person who deeply respects John Mccain for his military service and do actually consider him a hero for his service however that does not neccessarily mean I think he would be a good president. Infact with the way hes behaving lately and the rhetoric hes been spewing I'm starting to lose respect for a man I used to hold in such high regard. He was a great man, now slowly destroying himself. He should drop out now and save whatever respect people have for him. If I weren't Canadian I'd be voting for Obama in Nov.

    • Posted By: love234america @ 06/20/2008 11:23:15 PM

      Awfully glad you are not an American. And by the way, stay the hell out of our election. We don't need foreigners telling us what to do. You have been too much trouble for the US already. I would never tell you who your leader should be.

      • Posted By: spacholka @ 06/21/2008 9:55:24 AM

        Someone has to tell you what to do. I watch alot of American media. CNN, Fox and the like. Its a joke. The USSR had better news, China has better news. You Americans don't realize how bad you really have it there. You take people like Sean Hannity seriously. The man is a crock. If you bothered to turn on real news like the CBC or BBC once in awhile you'd really see how bad your country has become. I'm not saying Obama will be the one to change this, however I will say Mccain sure as hell won't.
        Try going to a site like Informationclearinghouse.info you'll find a hard dose of reality there.

  • Posted By: mnm62466 @ 06/21/2008 9:50:25 AM

    Are you not the same magazine that puts halo's around Obama's head? The same magazine that is in the bag for Obama; the same magazine that think we Americans are rubes? You are liars and not to be trusted. We do not believe you anymore. You have lost our trust.
    Do you get it? You people are so predictable and boring!

  • Posted By: nolawiseguy @ 06/21/2008 9:45:19 AM

    Once Americans find out about Obama's strong ties to Islam and his plans to funnel billions of our tax dollars to Islamic countries under the guise of fighting poverty, this media product will fade into the night. Obama wants to use our money to help Islamic jihadists attack American and Israeli interests so he should be on trial for treason right now, not running for President. Be prepared to see more fake polls like this right up until McCain goes on a 50 state route that will leave the media crying.

  • Posted By: Boomshak @ 06/21/2008 9:37:42 AM

    The poll represents the WORST in "outcome-based" sampling. For those who might actually delude themselves into believing this poll is accurate, you may wish to consider that Republicans make up only 26% of this sample. Democrats and Independents? - 74%. A complete and utter travesty of sampling bias. My question is, given the outrageous sample, why isn't Barack leading by more?

    'Nuff said.

    This poll is an outlier to the extreme and should be an embarrassment to those who present this propaganda as "scientific".

    McCain has been enjoying the fruits of the primary season - one hell of season one might add. It can only be expected now that the general elections have began, that Obama's lead will continue to increase.

    Another we polled until we got the result we wanted. Look at Rasmussen's web site. Obambi still sitting wher he was a week ago with a fading post nomination bounce. I'm reminded of Dukakis.

  • Posted By: ssween03 @ 06/21/2008 9:19:02 AM

    Clinton won because Perot was in the race. Secondly, do you dimwits at Newsweek just poll and poll until you get the result you want? Remember this, Obama is gointo lose in a landslide no matter how hard you idiots try to help him. The American people will never vote for themselves to be taxed out of existence. Ask Walter Mondale you bunch of dummies.

  • Posted By: HolyRoller @ 06/21/2008 12:51:57 AM

    Well with NewsWeak's history of polling credibility, this means McCain has about an 8 point lead.

    NOBAMA!!!

        mark - I doubt we've heard the last of Larry just because you liberals shut him up this time. It would be nice if Hussein and Larry were given a polygraph on national T.V. and settle this once and for all wouldn't it? It's just easier for you lefties to say it's a lie and deny it.

    • Posted By: marksgershenson @ 06/21/2008 1:30:58 AM

      BTW you got a new trooper in town one who claims to be a True Democrat....better tell him about the train that is going to head his way too....LOL

  • Posted By: love234america @ 06/20/2008 11:29:32 PM

    Obama is getting his money from some sources not yet reported; it could not possibly be from donations from supporters on the internet. What about foreign countries esp. Middle East countries? Obama lied again about public money for his campaign; he lies and lies so what can you believe of this man. He's a sorry example of what America has to offer. Even if he wins (God forbid and I will pray each day that he does not) you will never hear me call him President; I would rather die first.

    • Posted By: chriss1 @ 06/20/2008 11:44:54 PM

      Reports are public information and submitted to the FEC. The largest part of the money is mostly small donations from over 1.6 million donors unlike HRC who only had about 500,000 donors.

      • Posted By: WhenStarsTurnBlue @ 06/21/2008 12:17:40 AM

        Well, actually, individual donors who give $200 and under don't have to be reported to the FEC. And Obama said 90% of his donations are small donations like this. So there's really no records in the FEC of who's donating to him.

        • Posted By: chriss1 @ 06/21/2008 9:05:41 AM

          They are required by law to maintain records because contributions must be recorded for aggregate amount of contributions - so EVERY contribution is on record.

        • Posted By: Concerned Ctzn @ 06/21/2008 5:03:33 AM

          How convenient. No record huh ... hmmm. Heck, you and I both know that a zillion college kids have donated their $25 beer money to BO's campaign. That's it! That's the ticket! Yeah, Yeah, that's the ticket Moe! Shut up Curly! You're embarrassing me!

    • Posted By: notroubleatall1963 @ 06/20/2008 11:36:27 PM

      OOOhhhh, that's scary, now that really is -- making up lies about a perfectly good character. You white boys will swing right and left but our biracial boy, he'll stand tall and proud.

      You are the cheats, the liars and the disfuntional element in our society. The less you have to say about who gets elected, the better of the majority of the population will be. You support murderers and war criminals; they are your heros. Don't try and lump Obama in that category. It's not reality.

        BO has sold his soul to the Geo-Elitist! Money's coming from somewhere and it's definitely not coming from all the BamBam Kool-Aid drinkers at $25 dollars a pop.

        YEAH WRIGHT!

        And I too believe in the Tooth Fairy / Easter Bunny Polls. LMFAO!!!!
