Getting back to the issue at hand, here's a first: for months, political observers have noted how neither Obama nor McCain have been able to crack the 50% mark in nation-wide polling.
But Obama just did it; according to today's Gallup tracker, he's now up on McCain by 8 points (50-42).

the truth is that SOME of the Republicans are not very welcoming to others.
I really don't think I"m alone in this. There's been probaly studies ad nauseum
Back to OP.
I have been watching CSPan because they just play the speeches,
don't have all the "coverage" from the pundits.
I'll be glad when it is over so they can shut up!!!

then, i kindly ask you to set the example. (rather to not be on the defensive, but to argue objectively by using objective facts and directly standing up for them) can we agree on these minimal terms? (at least it isn't parliamentary procedure)
peace, friend?

all of us have seen insurmountable leads diminish, but if the RNC receives fair media coverage, then there will be some diminishing on that lead. for McCain to win, there will have to be within 2 come november. i think that is possible.

Almost an exact duplication of 1988. Don't hang your hat on it for too long.

No lead is insurmountable. I just thought it was interesting that someone finally made 50% in a national poll.
It reflects that undecideds are finally beginning to get off the fence.

funny as it is, when they do change their minds, AGAIN, (lol), well, they are only proven as undecided.

Well, as the political center and undecideds begin to take a stand I think you'll finally begin to see some separation between Obama and McCain in the numbers.
But on the other hand, they could be back in a virtual tie within a week.
I do agree with those that say Gallup polls are really a snapshot in time, and not reliable predictors for the future. This election is all going to come down to the swing states (again).
I do wonder, however, if the GOP's recent, intense overselling of Sarah Palin may backfire on them with voters.

the last person to do that.....was......
George W. Bush...in the only poll that really matters....the U.S. Election of 2004.
Won with 50.7% of the vote.
First to win with over 50% of the vote in a Presidential Election since 1988.

overselling?
who gave you the idea of the "overselling" going on over Sarah.......(as if there isn't any going on over Obama)....
if anything, sarah is going to "connect" with voters....she's a REAL person....with a REAL family.....
and, isn't going to have to "reinvent" herself 20 million times before she finds the "sarah palin" that will appeal to voters......

Um, maybe it has something to do with the skull-ringing degree of spin going on at the RNC convention last night...
GOP party faithful and apologists alike are wildly upholding Palin as a divine cross between Joan of Arc, Carol Brady, and Nanook of The North.

Who doesn't have a REAL family?

For her sake, I hope not. She doesn't have the time.

You set the example. And can you get everyone else to go by your rules, please. Otherwise.....

So the Obamas are not REAL people? A figament of our imaginations?

Yes, and right after Boston Kerry was up by what? - 18 - 20 points?
Meaningless...

May I make a suggestion?
I suggest that rather than fall into the trappings of tracydolls and let her hijack every single thread that talks about the Republicans we rather just ignore her rants and stay on topic.
I would much rather discuss the RNC than the ravings of someone who is obviously just trying to play games and has nothing serious to contribute to the discussion.

May I ask how talking about poll numbers regarding NObama is getting back to this issue at hand?
FYI: This is the RNC Convention Thread.

Would the numbers be as meaningless if they were reversed, and McCain was at 50%?

Actually I thing you need to worry about how these constant attacks against Palin and her family will backfire against the Democrats.
People are really getting angry about this and not just Republicans or Conservatives.
