Whites fortify McCain lead...

[misanthrope]

..."lopsided support from working-class and suburban whites have lifted Republican John McCain to a slender lead over Barack Obama less than two months from Election Day, a poll on the presidential race said Friday."

AP story

1. EVERY white person I know

is voting for Obama here in NYC

2. I ran into a 73 year old white woman the other day

she said she could not stand McLame and that she wish the old f'er would go away! ON EDIT: She also had a lot of knowledge re: Palin and told me that she had many contact in Alaska. She also told me that Palin is not thought well of in Alaska for the most part.

She was voting for Obama as is an 87 year old WHITE WOMAN that I happen to know. I bought a signs for her house as she wanted some. :)

I cry bullsh*t on this "study"; skewed is the for it.

OBAMA '08

:dem: :kick:

3. Bullshit!

AP fascists

4. That headline is offensive and deceptive. How about...

"Ignorant people fortify McCain lead." His support is coming from people who don't care if he continues the failed policies of the current administration or from people who are too stupid to realize that he will not change anything.

5. I agree with that

I saw it earlier on yahoo.com and considered posting it but decided not too because upon closer review, I could see how very flawed these statistics being presented are.

OBAMA '08!! ENOUGH!!!

6. Headlines are worded with one intent: provocation**nm

7. "The AP-GfK Poll was conducted Sept. 5-10"

We were getting crushed then. If this is even accurate, then our worst time only gave McCain a slender lead.

I'm not even going to get into Ron Fournier's, now the Washington Bureau Chief, connections to the Bush Administration. Oh, what the hell:

Karl Rove exchanged e-mails about Pat Tillman with Associated Press reporter Ron Fournier, under the subject line "H-E-R-O." In response to Mr. Fournier's e-mail, Mr. Rove asked, "How does our country continue to produce men and women like this," to which Mr. Fournier replied, "The Lord creates men and women like this all over the world. But only the great and free countries allow them to flourish. Keep up the fight.

That ethos seems to have been adopted by the larger AP political team, which, honestly, writes as if it's completely in the tank for McCain.
