48% of Americans are tired of hearing McCain talk about Obama
With Election Day still three months away, 48 percent said they're hearing too much about the Democratic candidate, according to a poll released Wednesday by the nonpartisan Pew Research Center. Just 26 percent said the same about his Republican rival, John McCain.

Two-thirds of Republicans and about half of independents said they've heard too much about Obama, as did a third of Democrats, a significant number.

At the same time, nearly four in 10 said they've been hearing too little about McCain — about four times the number who said so about Obama. About half of Republicans, four in 10 independents and even a quarter of Democrats said they've not heard enough about the GOP candidate.

It's time for McCain to STFU about Obama, and start explaining why he doesn't have a plan to get our troops out of Iraq.

3. The right does nothing BUT talk about Obama 24/7
McCain has nothing to offer, and besides they hate him because they think he isn't far enough to the right.

He is a ZERO, and they are pissed that they're stuck with him.

5. Most of the "too much Obama" talk is the non-stop bashing by the MSM of him
Maybe people want the MSM to start reporting McCain's negatives on a more even basis?

6. Ya think?
It must really torque their tail to have to pretend this is an even match.

:rofl:
