McCain Changes His Message As New Poll Shows Obama Up By 10 Points

ABC :

John McCain and his vice presidential running mate, Sarah Palin, have introduced a kinder, gentler campaign against Barack Obama as the Republican duo has slipped farther behind in the polls with only three weeks left until Election Day.

The latest Washington Post/ABC News poll indicates that Obama is pulling away from McCain, establishing a 10-point lead in the race for the White House by a commanding 53 percent to 43 percent.

in Virginia Beach today, McCain chastised Obama for voting in favor of the $700 billion bailout bill, receiving a chorus of boos. He forgot to mention that he voted for it as well.

Sadly, this is not surprising. McCain's diminished ability to recall recent activities and truths is scary.

Vote Obama!

[cowtippor]

his ability to recall hasn't been diminished. it's called denial and desperation - the throw it against the wall and see what sticks approach, i believe

[Budokan]

well, cut him some slack, he can't remember what soup he had for lunch yesterday, much less who voted for what and when.

[butonelife]

How unbelievably stupid these two are. All you had to do was look at the lines on the scale during the debate. Every time McSame sent out a cheap shot, the approval lines dropped through the floor. And they couldn't pick up on that. So out they go on the campaign trail and accuse an honorable, trustworthy man of "palling around with terrorists". To stupid to live. I wouldn't trust McSame as town dogcatcher now.

It appears that rooting around in the dirt has smudged the lipstick on the pigs – both of them.

No, seriously, John, keep up with the crotchety old man thing...that REALLY resonates with my generation. We're all MUCH MORE likely to listen to you while you harken back to the by-gone days of your youth or any other tripe you want to peddle.

[cowtippor]

the ironic thing to do would be to "vote" red

[yeswecancan]

McCain lit the torches, handed out the pitchforks and got worried when he saw the mobs advancing. Watch this to see just WHY Sen. McCain has been forced to change course:

[Pegi]

[tcfodor]

Ugh - bricks thrown through windows at the Democratic Party headquarters in Denver. I'm definitely hoping for a nicer campaign from here out out.

"To summarize what little I learned from all this: A candidate may well change his or her position on, say, universal health care or Bosnia. But he or she cannot change the fact"if it happens to be a fact"that he or she is a pathological li.ar, or a di.mwit, or a proud ign.oramus. And even in the short run, this must and will tell."

Too little, too late. The behavior Johnny and Sarah allowed at their rallies speak volumes for who they are.

McCain is fighting for Jefferson Davis states? Yikes!

[SeconLine]

99 days until George Bush is gone...

99 days till he's gone...

Take one down and pass it around...

[Pegi]

ain't life GRAND????????????????????????

[Barackaroo]

Not yet. But things are looking up.

[OutragedMom]

It felt, sometimes, as if it would never end....

[Chixsngr]

Wasn't McCain supposed to have posted HIS new economic plan today.

John? John? Bueller?...

Someone apparently didn't do his homework over the weekend.

[WLA]

Everyone knows Grammps doesn't work weekends.

[MIMom]

Mr. Puddles ate it.

Oh, wait...he left it on the bus....

No....where DID he put it? Hmm....

[Kindheart]

There is no new economic plan.

[Cooper1608]

Yes, but he waited on Senator Obama to announce his plans so he can copy. Wait until the debate Wednesday evening and watch McCain give some of Senator Obama's plans on the economy. He can't think for himself. always has to be a copy cat.

[billblow3]

I've been saying that some thing through out this whole campaign, Mcsame has been coping Obama every move . If Obama says something, Mcsame repeats it later

[Ohnohedient]

Zogby has "that one" up by four and Rasmussen has "that one" up by five. Bradley says McCain by two.

Looks like you guys will be getting your October Suprise in November.

[VolvoBirkenstock]

"Mavs in 6!"

Run along, w h i t e t r a s h.

None of your predictions have ever been correct.

I am comforted by Betty's .000 batting average.

What happened to the Cowboys, homie? LOL

[Zenith1959]

Go to pollster.com, they show every poll along with the projected electoral totals. We of course won't know till it's over, but things are not looking good for "that old one".
