McCain’s Alleged Lead Evaporates
Reverend Wright frenzy fizzles out.

A recent news article reports “A new Gallup Poll shows Barack Obama has now built a 48-44 percent lead over Hillary Clinton in the Democratic nominee process. The move is significant only in that it reverses a trend last week, which seemed to indicate Obama was losing favor because of his connection to Pastor Jeremiah Wright. Meanwhile, the poll also noted that in a general election, Obama and GOP presumptive nominee John McCain appear to be a dead heat: a result that differs from other recent polls showing McCain building a comfortable lead. The poll showed McCain with 45 percent support, to 44 percent support, within the 2 percent margin for error.”
So now a pollster is claiming it’s a dead heat between Obama and McCain. This comes after a relentless pounding of Obama over his crazy Black preacher, which allegedly had McCain leading by a small amount last week. Obama has predictably distanced himself from the preacher’s more crazy statements, and the whole preacher scandal is gradually fizzling out. In another week or two, McCain should be trailing Obama by five to ten percent.
McCain isn’t even going to get all of the conservative vote. Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter have both strongly condemned John McCain as a traitor to Republican values. John McCain was the co-sponsor of last year’s Amnesty Bill which threatened to turn 20 million illegal aliens into US citizens which would have destroyed America as we know it. It seems likely a third to half the conservatives will NOT vote for this latest sack of pooh dressed up as the Republican nominee. (more…)
