Dude;
The real test of this argument, or debate, or whatever you want to call it, will come in November at election time. As I have said before, I will not and can not predict the election results. But, I will say this, this election is going to be a lot closer then you are willing to say it is. I also think that Obama will have some things come out that will hurt his election. One thing he better worry about is that the guy who was involved in that real estate deal with Obama and his home purchase. He has just been convicted on felony charges. How much are you willing to bet that the justice department is right now talking to him about coming clean on the land deal, what appears to be a possible shady criminal land deal, and turning on Obama for a lighter sentence.
Obama's very liberal voting record will also be brought out along with his inexperience on National matters and I think his "vote for change" will be disected if he is able to even give any facts on what change he plans for this country.
His "third Bush term" also may not fly with voters when they learn that McCain was a moderate maverick that went against the hard core GOP and the white house on several key issues and has fought against pork barrel politics that helped screw up our economy. Say what you want and believe, but come November may surprise you. McCain has as good as a chance to win this as does Obama.
P.S. That Gallup poll does not reflect all the votes, and can not until those votes are cast in November, so do not put all your faith in something that has proven to be offbase in the past.
