I know that online polls are BS but I found this poll on FR.  You have to check it out, LOL.

I have to assume it was seriously FReeped.

If you want to worship an orange pile of garbage with a reckless disregard for everything, get on down to Arbys & try our loaded curly fries.

Oh I'm sure it was but at the time it was posted it already had about 178,000 votes.  I think it is funny because usually these types of polls are so heavily "DU'ed".

leading everywhere including MA, VT, DC!

In oregon it is only 56-44, but still!

I'm actually waiting for after Labor Day when the conventions are over, the fires from the riots in Denver are almost out, and the Dems realize what they've done in nominating the socialist Barackstar!

Oh, and polls?  Who gives a shit?  I do seem to recall back about 32 years ago, Jimmy Carter led Ford by nearly 30 points after the conventions, and look how Ford closed the gap.  Popular opinion holds that had the campaign gone on another week, Ford would have won the election.

The U.S. looks great in all red, but I don't think it's likely. I mean, they got Hellannoys as 57% McCain, but we got a lot of idiots here falling for the BarackStar's charm. It'll be a hell of a lot closer than that. Now if we were running a hardcore conservative.... yeah, then that map would be about right.

I do think it will be a slaughter because independents will not vote for a racist and Hispanics will vote in larger number for McCain than any Repub. has ever gotten. Independents are the ones that decide Prez. elections.

Lol. McCain even won D.C.!

McCain is still leading the poll.

I fell asleep with the TV on last night, woke up to Obama's speech.......nothing like starting the day off being pissed.
