AP Presidential Poll Finds It All Even - Obama at 44 percent and McCain at 43 percent

AP.Google.com brings us the report and it starts off like this... The presidential race tightened after the final debate, with John McCain gaining among whites and people earning less than $50,000, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll that shows McCain and Barack Obama essentially running even among likely voters in the election homestretch... The poll, which found Obama at 44 percent and McCain at 43 percent, supports what some Republicans and Democrats privately have said in recent days: that the race narrowed after the third debate as GOP-leaning voters drifted home to their party and McCain's "Joe the plumber" analogy struck a chord...

Military Times Poll Indicates Landslide U.S Troops Support for John McCain by 3-1

Tuesday, October 21, 2008
A poll by the Military Times newspaper group suggests that there is overwhelming support for John McCain among U.S. troops in every branch of the armed forces by a nearly 3-1 margin... According to the poll, 68 percent of active-duty and retired servicemen and women support McCain, while 23 percent support Barack Obama. The numbers are nearly identical among officers and enlisted troops... A racial divide was immediately evident among the respondents. Nearly eight in 10 black servicemembers chose Obama, while McCain captured 76 percent of white voters and 63 percent of Hispanic...

Third and Final Presidential Debate Tonight

Third and Final

Presidential Debate Tonight
Wednesday, October 15, 2008

.

.
Tonight’s third and final Presidential Debate will start at 8:00pm CDT and will be moderated by CBS Newsman Bob Schieffer.

Going into tonight’s Debate... a poll released today by Reuters, C-SPAN and Zogby shows Obama with just a 4-point national lead over McCain.

This latest four-day tracking poll, among likely U.S. voters, shows Obama leading McCain 48% to 44%. They say this poll has a margin of error of 2.9 percentage points... but the way I see it... if McCain is within 8 to possibly even 10 points of Obama... McCain WINS!!!

I don’t know about you but I sure am hoping Senator McCain brings up, in detail, the Ayers-Obama connection tonight. I for one see it as MORE than just questionable judgment on Obama’s part... but a sure sign of just how Obama thinks and what he REALLY believes in...

**************************************

Well... It’s now after 10:00 pm CDT and the Debate is over.

I don't know about you... but I for one enjoyed it! By the look at times on Obama’s face... I’d say I surely enjoyed it much more than he.

Now... who won the debate tonight? I’d say... “Joe the Plumber” did! And that should help move the Polls up, over the next few days, for Senator John McCain.

The following was taken from the McCain Campaign Communications Director Jill Hazelbaker just after the Debate:

Fighting for Joe the Plumber

"John McCain won tonight's debate with strong, clear straight talk about setting a new direction for our country and fighting for working families. He outlined a specific, bold plan for creating jobs, helping those near retirement, keeping people in their homes, curbing spending, lowering health care costs and achieving energy independence. He vowed to fight for 'Joe the Plumber' every day he is President and he affirmed his belief that we shouldn't raise taxes just to 'spread the wealth.' While Barack Obama is measuring the drapes and campaigning against a man not even on the ballot, John McCain demonstrated that he has the experience, judgment, independence and courage to fight for every American."

Obama and ACORN

Obama and ACORN
Saturday, October 11, 2008

.

Just one week ago, the Obama campaign declared that 'Barack Obama never organized with ACORN.' According to today's New York Times, that statement is simply not true. The paper quotes Barack Obama on his role as head of Project Vote and says the statement 'linked his 1992 work to ACORN in a meeting with ACORN's leaders in November.' In fact, Barack Obama has a long relationship with ACORN, to which he and unrepentant terrorist William Ayers funneled nearly $200,000 from the Woods Foundation, and as recently as February of this year his campaign paid nearly $1 million to an ACORN affiliate for services related to get out the vote efforts. It is clear that Barack Obama is not being honest about his association with ACORN, just as he has not been honest about his association with unrepentant terrorist William Ayers. The media has an obligation to investigate the obvious contradictions between Barack Obama's rhetoric and his record...

Senator John McCain Will Be Attending Tonight’s Debate

Senator John McCain Will Be Attending Tonight’s Debate
Friday, September 26, 2008

.
Senator John McCain spent this morning talking to members of the Administration, members of the Senate, and members of the House. He is reported to be optimistic that there has now been significant progress toward a bipartisan agreement... now that there is a framework for all parties to be represented in negotiations, including Representative Blunt as a designated negotiator for House Republicans.
.
With that said... the McCain Campaign is now resuming all activities and Senator John McCain will travel to Mississippi this afternoon to attend tonight’s debate at the University of Mississippi.

* 10:00pm CDT

.
The debate is now over and it was a spirited one.
Who won??? I’d say... neither.

If we see a move in the poles... it will not be from tonight’s debate but from what has gone down in Washington over the past week and what comes out of it this weekend.

I believe a move in the polls, one way are the other, should show itself by this coming Wednesday. Then we should have a handle on how things are going to be going for both Campaigns into the Biden, Palin VP Debate next Thursday, Oct. 2nd.

I did like my man tonight though, overall...

He can’t help being who he is. Older, wiser... than yet not as exciting as one would wish he could be!

Can you say the same of Obama?

Senator Joe Lieberman was a guest on MSNBC’s ‘Morning Joe’ this morning, (9-02-08) and he said, more or less, the follow...

Senator John McCain will be a President that our Allies will trust... and our enemies will fear.

I ask this...
Can we say the same of Obama!!!?

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is VP Pick for John McCain

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin

is VP Pick for John McCain

All of those in the know of the MSM are reporting that Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has been confirmed by a Senator McCain Campaign Official as the VP pick.

************************************************
.
I send out my congratulations to Sarah Palin as the official VP pick of Senator John McCain.
Congratulations Sarah!!!
.
****************************
...

.

My Friends,

I am honored to announce that I have chosen Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska as my choice for the Republican nominee for Vice President. As a father with three daughters, I can't express how proud I am to choose the first female Republican Vice-Presidential nominee.

Sarah Palin is a trailblazer and a reformer. As the first female governor of Alaska, she challenged a corrupt system and has been a tireless advocate for reform - passing a landmark bill on ethics reform. She has taken on the old politics in Alaska and reformed the state's energy industry. She rejects wasteful pork barrel spending. She's fearless - exactly the type of leader I want at my side and the type of leadership we will bring to Washington.

My friends, together Sarah Palin and I make the strongest presidential ticket and I know that she joins me in asking for your support as we head into our Convention week in Minnesota. We're shaking things up in this campaign - and Governor Palin and I are ready to bring real reform to Washington.

The polls indicate this will be a tight race as we head into the fall campaign against Senators Obama and Biden. I expect the polls to remain close all the way up to Election Day and that is why any help you can give today will go a long way to make history on November 4th.

You may already know that I have decided to accept federal matching funds for the final months of this campaign- keeping a campaign promise I made. But that means that August 31st marks the last day I can accept your primary contribution. Will you make an immediate donation of whatever you can give- whether it's $50 or $500 to ensure Governor Palin and I win in November?

You can be assured that as President and Vice President, Governor Palin and I will always put country before all else. We are ready to lead and I ask that you join our campaign today. Your support is deeply appreciated.

Sincerely,
John McCain

Just a short thought:
All this past week the Dems have been trying to paint Senator McCain as being nothing more than another GW Bush. Well... they are going to have hell trying to paint Governor Sarah Pulin as a Dick Chaney!!!

You just KNOW the Dems are freaking out over McCain’s VP pick!

John McCain TV Ad: Love

Video posted on YouTube by JohnMcCaindotcom

***************************

The following is from the McCain Team
JohnMcCain.com

As Senator Obama finally heads overseas to see the situation in Iraq first-hand, we are releasing a new video, "The Obama Iraq Documentary: Whatever the Politics Demand" that explores Senator Obama's record of shifting political positions on the critical national security issue of Iraq.

Over the past year, both Barack Obama and John McCain have taken part in a great national debate over the war in Iraq. It quickly became clear that the Bush Administration was pursuing a failed strategy in Iraq and we needed change. John McCain alone had the courage and judgment to stand up and call for a surge of troops and a new strategy to win the war in Iraq - a strategy that is succeeding. Barack Obama repeatedly opposed the surge strategy, saying it would fail. John McCain made the right call at great political risk - he put his country first.

Today, we know Senator Obama was wrong, and rather than admit his mistake, Barack Obama is now trying to pretend that he was for the surge all along. Click here to watch our new documentary and see his record for yourself.

Sadly, Senator Obama's actions are just more politics as usual. I don't know who should be more disappointed - the supporters whose faith in Senator Obama has already been betrayed, or the people who Senator Obama now expects to believe his new sales pitch. Either way, one thing is clear - Senator Obama has shown that he is just another politician.

Regards,

Rick Davis
Campaign Manager

John McCain says President Bush Should Veto Torture Bill

TalkingPointsMemo.com brings us this story and it starts off like this... Republican Presidential Candidate John McCain said President Bush should veto a measure that would bar the CIA from using waterboarding and other harsh interrogation methods on terror suspects... McCain voted against the bill, which would restrict the CIA to using only the 19 interrogation techniques listed in the Army field manual... His vote was controversial because the manual prohibits waterboarding — a simulated drowning technique that McCain also opposes — yet McCain doesn't want the CIA bound by the manual and its prohibitions...

Senator John McCain stops in Indy and blasts the Democrats

Setting a date to bring U.S. troops home from Iraq would amount to surrender, Sen. John McCain said tonight... The Arizona Republican and candidate for president, in Indianapolis for a private fundraiser, told reporters the proper role for Congress is to fund the war... "The Democrats have lost sight of the fact that presidents don't lose wars, and political parties don't lose wars," McCain said. "Nations lose wars, and when the majority leader of the Senate stands up and says the war is lost, you have to ask, 'Who won? Al-Qaida?' The American people don't want us to fail. And if you can show them a path to success, they'll support it.”......
