The polls are killing me. Obama SHOULD have a 10 point lead, but America continues to baffle me. I'm not even saying this as though Obama is anything but an alternative, or anything great...but to basically continue on the course we've been on?

It's depressing. America has an endless capacity to depress me at times. If you're conservative, feel free to rejoice in my depression & incredulousness over this...

So you're going with the bac explanation? I think it's more complicated than that.

It's one part of several reasons, and I don't think it's even the main reason.

It's the relentless negative advertising campaing being staged against him, and his lack of a response. He should have hit McCain hard and early, and never let up, but once again, Dems nominated a pussy.

the polls at this time jump all over the place. It's not worth the trouble giving them anything but a glance.

Not to give a cop out answer, but I definitely think its a combination of both. When Obama held back with Hillary, I understood his motivations. Not holding back against McCain's attacks when you're the presumed nominee is just stupid. His team should be capitalizing on McCain cheating his way through this weekends forum and they are not. Believe me, if Obama were alleged to have been outside the cone fo silence for 10 seconds, that's all you woudl have heard about for the next month. I don't disagree with you.

But I also think that seeing as quickly he's been selling out the very grass roots that propelled him to where is now is definitely a factor. Who wants to campaign for BAU?

That doesn't bode well for McCain, Zogby's polls are notoriously inaccurate.
