Republican presidential candidate John McCain got a bounce in opinion polls from his convention and now runs even or slightly ahead of Democratic rival Barack Obama, with eight weeks to go in the White House race.

Senator McCain's surprise choice of conservative Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate has sparked a burst of grass-roots Republican enthusiasm, polls showed.

Three polls taken since the Republican convention ended on Thursday show Senator McCain with a lead of 1 to 4 per cent, within the margin of error, and two others show the race dead even.

Heading into the conventions the two had been running even or Senator Obama held a slight lead in most polls.

Meanwhile
"Palin's attacks have resulted in our campaign raising over 10 million dollars -- a one day record -- I hope she gives a speech every day," said Obama spokesman Bill Burton.

It's really astonishing how close the race is.
 
I have the horrible suspicion that Obama will manage a posterity coup-de-tat by never actually becoming president at all - thus securing his Kennedy-style place in history as the perfect President whose career was cut short too soon.
 
I'm going to ****ing riot if Obama doesn't get elected. I'm saying this now so that you guys know what happened when I don't post for a while after the election, it's probably because I've been jailed by the fascist pigs.
 
if mccain wins US is officially the most dumbest "democratic" country on earth...i know you'll argue that not everyone voted for him. but that doesn't matter...the stupidity of the mccain supporters far outweigh the little drops of intelligence the US might have.
and besides...not all obama fans will vote for him because they are smarter...but because they have always voted for democrats.

mccain is everything you don't want from a president. and i think he proved it many times.
he is an outright liar, a lobbyist, a poor decision maker, backward in mentality, lacks judgment, a false war hero,...


seriously...if he gets elected, the US will hit a new low in global reputation.

that and possibly a nuclear war
 
It's really quite worrisome.

I want to think the Obama campaign can pull it off. After all, I always felt that it was only a matter of time until Hillary pulled the rug from his feet during the primaries. But then again, I would have never thought the Republicans would have had this much success after eight years of epic failure.

It is frightening how they can so quickly belt out lines about throwing liberals out of Washington and blaming them for what's gone wrong when we aren't even out of the ****ing Bush administration yet. More disturbing is how so many people are actually swallowing it, along with with their "OH YAY FOLKSY SOCCER MOM" enthusiasm.
 
Apparently Jesus died a couple thousand years ago.
 
I'm applying to Canadian universities this fall. Just in case. If McCain is elected, I no longer wish to live here.

**** it, i will too and i live in Australia. Seriously, if he's not elected, The U.S.A is going to lose all of its last little bits and pieces of respect that the rest of the world has for it. If McCain gets elected because of this we're all ****ed.
 
Doesn't Mccain want a 10 year presence in Iraq? I'm completely against that, no way do I want him elected
 
If Obama wins, our benefactors will make him have a little accident. A lethal little accident. Hehehahahahakekmwhahahah ahem.

it doesnt matter who's in office:

President George W. Bush would like to see a lengthy U.S. troop presence in Iraq like the one in South Korea to provide stability but not in a frontline combat role, the White House said on Wednesday.

The United States has had thousands of U.S. troops in South Korea to guard against a North Korean invasion for 50 years.

it's Numbers' "benefactors"

obama wont pull the troops out despite what he says, he may reduce that number significantly but the US isnt going anywhere any time soon

Dear USA,

Why are so many people in your country so ****ing retarded?


The rest of the world.
 
Dear World,

We are so, so sorry.

Sincerely, 49%
 
This is how the Feds rule this country. They select president by rigged election. (The intelligence controls election office that count the votes). And justify the result by fake poll. (They control media)

The tactic:
1. Blew up the Obbama bubble by media. Purpose: to mine a justification when they let Republican win the president campaign. Their say: Americans are not ready for a black president.

2. Let Obama ran over Clinton in Demo's campaign. Because technically, Hillary Clinton can beat Republican eaiser than Obama.

To achieve this, Feds even manipulated Demo's high ranking that they picked up Biden as VP and abandoned Clinton.

3. Now blow up the Pain bubble by media. Purpose: to justify a rigged election by the say: White women turn their votes to Palin.

Do you really think people care about a speech of Palin then forget that evil party had stolen their civil right by a false flag attack? And spend so much money on an unjust war and made a mess on US economy?

What the Feds need is just an excuse for a rigged election. See: Because Palin withdraw the votes of white women. Just like what they did in Iraq war by a not existed WMD.

The reality is Americans should have voted 80% to Demo vs 20% to Repub. (that base on the fact that 80% people think America is now on the wrong direction) But media turn it into a get even campaign and will steal it in a little margin. (the same soup opera had acted in 2000 and 2004)
 
I was going to say the same basic thing; I think this shit is fixed (rigged)!

This. I seriously have little faith in this country anymore.
 
Awesome! I always wanted to live in a post apocalyptic world and now I may get that chance.
 
The Republicans are the main reason why the world hates America

I lol'd. Usually your spelling is spot on Mr. Sung? Are you ok? Though as far as slips ups go this one is quite appropriate.

If gaming has taught me anything, I will become either a zombie or a mutant and only grow more powerful.

(P.S. anytime I post please note the extreme sarcasm and not take it seriously)

Isn't it a crime for you people not to vote?
 
Yeah. It's mandatory to vote otherwise you get fined. It's not like burglary or anything, but it is technically against the law.

I don't see why it's not mandatory in the U.S.A.
 
it says a lot about the current political outlook in the US when a hot tempered not overly bright warhawk with an inexperienced not overly bright soccer mom running mate can equal or best a well spoken, educated candidate who for all intents and purposes is seemingly the right person to lead the country ..even if he's not (nader ftw)
