If Americans vote McCain into office, we're really the dumbest shits on the planet.

Obama in a landslide......and you know why? Palin. Americans will come to their senses and realize she is in no way shape or form ready to be a heartbeat away from that much power. ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Oh....and that baby really is Bristol's. Lots more stories to come out of Anchorage......soon enough.

This is just one poll from one pollster and it looks like an outlier (numerically distant from other polling data). According to pollster.com which uses trend estimate numbers from all available public polls, NY stands, as of this minute, at Obama 52.5 to McCain 35.7 which keeps us safely in the Strong/Obama category. Nationally, they have Obama at 238 electoral votes to McCain's 224. There are 76 tossup votes. The tossup states are: Nevada (5 Electoral Votes), Montana (3 EV), Colorado (9 EV), New Mexico (5 EV), Michigan (17 EV), Ohio (20 EV), Virginia (13 EV) and New Hampshire (3EV). The first guy to get to 270 EVs on Nov 4 wins. Right now we're very close nationally, but again, not in NY.

Wait until Obama's ties to the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac scandal come to light!

All you hipsters from the out West, down South, and all points in between; you need to rush back to save your goddamn, ignorami, redneck cousins. I'm talking about Liberal Missionary work here people. Real Robert De Niro and Jeremy Irons in "The Mission" type of work. Bring your works of Chomski and Vidal and spread the Good Word to those savages.

Who the hell are these respondents?! Are they survivalists/militias holed up in the Adirondacks? Do they have issues with "negros" and "commies"? And here I was all ready to give my vote to Ron Paul. Looks like I'm gonna have to vote Obama to keep STUPID, STUPID MIDDLE AMERICANS from fucking themselves...AGAIN!! Jesus Christ!

In the bigger picture this thing is starting to look bleak. I'm beginning to seriously fear and consider the possibility that McCain and Palin will win this, and by inauguration day we'll have 4 more years of war, Jesus, and tax cuts for the rich to look forward to. And when that's done I'm not even sure the fools in this country won't come back asking for another helping. But it isn't over just yet. A lot can happen between now and November.

"Who the fuck is Siena College Research Institute?" Some Catholic college. They probably had some clueless undergrads conduct their "research."

This was a bunch of boring BS when NY Mag posted it yesterday. Playing on the irrational fears of a bunch on nervous nellies isn't nice, Gothamist. Sit back, relax, and watch Obama take the state and the country. McCain's had his little bounce. And now it's over. Sanity will prevail.

McCain did the right thing. See at first, like an rational person, he ran his campaign like Obama does on things like their records and "issues." Then he got dumb, shot for the big sleeveless mouth-breathing segment of middle america that votes 'wit dere gut', picked up a milf who doesn't believe in dinosaurs and is now surging. Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers. And America has a LARGE number of stupid people.

Who cares anymore? I'm writing this fanfiction about McCain and Palin in their private quarters with Cindy McCain trying to get his impotent ass up but nothing works. Then, Obama walks in with Michelle and Cindy and Palin drop McCain like a cold potato and start making out with Obama. So then Obama's doing it to Cindy McCain, Sarah Palin, and Michelle all at the SAME TIME while McCain is sitting on the sidelines being cuckolded but looking on forlornly. I think I'll call it "Lipstick on a Pig"

uhhh... this is most certainly an outlier poll which was actually released last week. today's (conservative leaning) Rasmussen poll: Rasmussen Reports 9/15/08; 500 LV, 4.5% Mode: Live Telephone Interviews New York State Obama 55, McCain 42 (August: Obama 55, McCain 36) don't sweat this sienna poll, but still, please go and vote either way.
