Whilst you told us it said this:
"McCain leads Obama by 54%-44% among those seen as most likely to vote."

Considering the margin of error, that's a significant lie. It's the difference between a near tie and a huge lead.

Read the whole article. It's 50 - 46 among registered voters, but 54 - 44 among those who are actually planning to vote.
 
• McCain's acceptance speech Thursday received lower ratings than the one Obama gave a week earlier: 15% called McCain's speech "excellent" compared with 35% for Obama.
 
ib1, will you commit suicide or move to Canada if McCain wins?

Oh, wait. Conservatives are ahead in the polls in Canada. They're likely to win a majority in the October 14th election. So I guess suicide is the only option. :)

I'll stay in my country and continue to vote against nuts and the nuts who support those nuts and who also happen to believe the earth is hollow, like yourself.

Zogby also shows Obama ahead on the electoral vote 260 to 160 for McCain.

I don't know if that's relevent. Bush mumbled his way through his 2004 acceptance speech and was chewed a new asshole by Kerry in the debates and still won the election (just barely).

Yeah, but it also says this:

God help Canada if the Conservatives win, that's all I can say. They won't be able to last long under the face of those radical lunatics. The Conservative party is in essence a rebranded Reform party, and those guys are famous for doing such things as going to Singapore to investigate the "effectiveness" of caning in a school system.

I'll bet its effective. Wanna?
 
I can't believe you'd honestly consider caning children Damo. You shouldn't be allowed around children with an attitude like that, and the people of Singapore shouldn't either.

So, you believe that they continue to do things they are caned for all because you want to believe that abuse is ineffective in changing behavior? I'll bet it is effective in molding the children into behavior they wish. Effective does not mean right.

You're definition of "effective" is a dubious one.

I wouldn't consider it you dink. I just understand that negative reinforcement is effective.

So are nuclear weapons, but that doesn't mean I think they should be used.
