John "I don't know much about the economy" McCain leads 49-40 on the issue of economic stewardship?

WTF?

Unless Zogby is just way off base, that is an inexcusable number for Obama considering the political climate. That's a number that will lose him the election. Pick Gephardt or Clinton as VP, Obama! We can't lose on the economy.

1. Zogby uses "likely voters"

aka: old white people. Not always well informed old-white people.

Seems that a lot of non-old and/or non-white people will be voting soon.

3. "Not always well informed old-white people."

Obama's had a year to inform them. I'm not ready to throw race around as an excuse.

6. Sorry.

I don't make Zogby's rules. And older white folks are the most common voters in the states.

2. Pick a Virginian. As long as we can win Virginia, we will win.

If we can scrape by with a win there, we will win the election. That is our only realistic chance.

5. Kaine's been a governor for about 2 years.

4. He's talking "economy"?? HOW?????

I mean, what's he saying? What's he GOING to say? "The Republican economic track record has been over-the-top terrible, but vote for ME and I'll make it worser . . . wait, I wasn't supposed to say that . . . where am I?"

COME on, DUMBerica. WAKE up.

7. Yeah, the MSM neglected to mention the "likely voters" part of the demographic polled.

That the demographic is filtered for being likely voters in an election cycle when it looks like the type of people who are likely voters will change basically skews the results in a way that is very misleading. The fact that it's not even mentioned directly in the poll numbers and presented as if there's no problem with how the poll was directed just furthers the deception.

8. Well when you promise fairy tales and butter cream kisses to a bunch of

people who think santa claus sets consumer prices and hourly wages then you'll have that. That's what mccain's doing.
