A lot can change from now until November. The Republicans still have a corrupted and complicit MSM in their corner and between the two they will pull out all the stops to demonize any Democrat to insure the staus quo. Although the poll looks good we shouldn’t celebrate too much until the last shovel of dirt is thrown on the grave of the Republican Party.</p> The poll is a snapshot in time.

Bush. If you are satisfied with the performance of George G. Bush over the last eight years, then it is possible that you might be satisfied with a candidate determined, BY HIS OWN PARTY, to be not even as good. If, on the other hand, you don’t think George W. Bush has performed well, than why the hell would you want to vote for a candidate who has finished behind him in a head to head matchup? Are you NUTS!</p> <p>(I guess that was at least two questions)</p> I think the bestest, most pertinent question is this: Eight years ago, the Republican party determined that John McCain was an also ran, a second place finisher to George W.

Obama has clearly spoke against it since the beginning. Obama has specifically said he wants advisors that’ll offer different viewpoints from his own. Who knows how much sway this unpaid advisor has with Obama, if any?</p> The “adviser” stuff really gets blown out of proportion IMO. Obama has clearly spoke against it since the beginning.
