They cooked their LV weightings to reflect an America that would be more likely to self-identify as Republicans today than they were in 2004. Garbage poll.

WHY?!?!

 

[Stoney Mason]

Oh wow Gallup 52-41

Gallup is the new god for gaf

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

The Day Negative Politics Died.

 

[Trakdown]

Okay, that's the game. No way in hell McCain's coming back from 11 down this late, especially not with the debate not factored in.

 

[Nabs]

i just sat up a little straighter on my couch

 

[Joe]

i don't care if he's up 20 points, let's not forget he's a black man running for president in america. i won't be happy or excited until he actually wins it.

 

[MrHicks]

this is the end....my only friend...the end

 

[blame space]

52-41

 

[GhaleonEB]

And this is crucial:

Voter preferences seem to have stabilized for the moment, as Obama has held a double-digit lead over McCain in each of the last three individual nights of polling.

It's not a one-day blip that's going to scroll off in three days. It's 10+ for three days running.

 

[PhatSaqs]

Oh wow Gallup 52-41

 

[Rur0ni]

Barack Obama holds an 11-point lead over John McCain in the latest Gallup Poll Daily tracking report, 52% to 41%. This is the Obama’s highest level of support to date, and also represents his largest lead of the campaign.

Obamaton!

 

[CharlieDigital]

I called a double digit lead this morning

 

[grandjedi6]

Reading the Corner is pretty hilarious. Its made up of 80% delusions and 20% "What the fuck are you guys talking about? We lost big time". Awesome

 

[Stoney Mason]

Gallup lead is actually bigger than the Daily Kos poll.

 

[Evlar]

So... What's left? Anyone interested in speculation on Obama's cabinet appointments?

The Corner is an IV of pure schadenfreude today.

Kos/R2K vindicated as not just Democratic tools?

Word. Though I am still excited.

 

[EMBee99]

The way he ends these speeches ("If you stand with me....") reminds me of when wrestlers yell their catchphrases at the end of a promo.

So much so that my office actually yells along with the feed every time its on. It fucking rules.

 

[Revengeance]

I'm giddy.

 

[AndresON777]

i don't care if he's up 20 points, let's not forget he's a black man running for president in america. i won't be happy or excited until he actually wins it.

Word. I don't want to get my hopes up too high, so I dont kill myself if the unexpected happens.

 

[syllogism]

Obama is probably up by 6-7 points, all Gallup suggests is that there is no reason to worry about the other trackers showing movement to the other direction

e: market in green after Obama speech, heh

 

[EMBee99]

So... What's left? Anyone interested in speculation on Obama's cabinet appointments?

Warren Buffett for Secretary of Treasury.

Jimmy Buffett for Secretary of Margaritas.

 

[RiskyChris]

This can't be quoted enough. Enough Hopium to keep me buzzing for days.

 

[Fatalah]

Hey guys, where's that crazy psychedelic video of McCain saying ehh ehh? The one with the screen flipping upside down and stuff.

 

[Xisiqomelir]

OH GOD 11 POINT LEAD ALL OVER MY FACE

 

[Stoney Mason]

Kos/R2K vindicated as not just Democratic tools?

Maybe

Personally by election day I'm hoping the lead is at least +5 or +6. Any closer and I won't feel comfortable

We should have a GAF pool. Whoever guesses the most appointments correctly prior to the election wins a tag.

Thank you. Whoever put this together did a fantastic job. It's like I'm staring into hell.

 

[MrHicks]

FINISH HIM!!!

WAT

 

[Fragamemnon]

1. (Mortgage) Resurgance Plan - McCain's second straight 'wtf' policy plan introduced during a debate. He's right in that at the core, the genesis of the crisis is based on the sharp decline in housing assets and that arresting this decline will likely stabilize the freefall. The problem for me is this - stabilizing these prices essentially resets the bubble and sets it in stone - leaving current housing prices still well above historical levels. When considering a decade in stagnant working-class wages, this isn't a good option. They need to fall more.

In some markets they are reaching a point where the values are getting pretty reasonable, even by historical points. Given the current credit situation, I would wager that it won't be long before we get to a 2.5-3x median household income pricing.

One thing about McCain's plan is that it, not suprisingly, lets the reckless lender off scot-free and the taxpayer eats all of the losses. I call McCain's plan a moral hazard to the market for that reason-at some point, both the purchaser of the home and the mortgage holder both need to be held somewhat accountable for the situation.

2004's stupidity isn't the same as 2008's stupidity.

 

[Emiru]

FINISH HIM!!!

Muhammad Ali vs Golem?

 

[Brannon]

2004's stupidity isn't the same as 2008's stupidity.

True, but stupidity is immune to the ravages of time.

 

[Nabs]

the dow bounced up since the poll numbers were released. hopium all around.

 

[Barrett2]

So the question is, will McCain drop the negative stuff? Where do they turn from here, do they turn the page back to the economy?

 

[titiklabingapat]

Either way, polls tightened overall today.

 

[The Blue Jihad]

In the immortal words of James Brown, I feel good.

Dude...that's not even a homophone of "ravages".
