Only days before the beginning of the Democratic National Convention, CNN announced today the results of a poll showing Barack Obama’s lead over John McCain is rapidly shrinking :
In what could be an ominous sign for Barack Obama just days before he is formally named the Democratic presidential nominee, a new CNN poll of polls out Tuesday shows the Illinois senator’s lead over John McCain has been cut in half in recent days.
American voters are becoming increasingly worried about Obama’s complete lack of experience, according to CNN. Political ads released by the McCain campaign are pointing out the dangers of Obama’s inexperience. In spite of the hype generated by the Obama campaign, his incompetent and milquetoast response to the Russian invasion of Georgia highlights the danger that an Obama presidency would bring:
The latest poll results come amid increased attacks from McCain on Obama’s readiness to be commander-in-chief and the re-emergence of national security worries among voters in the wake of the Georgia crisis.
The CNN poll is only one among many that demonstrates Obama’s falling numbers. Other recent polls show that even though John McCain is considered a weak Republican candidate, Americans feel more confident about McCain’s leadership:
A Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll out Tuesday evening was the latest national survey to indicate Obama’s lead is dwindling, putting the Illinois senator ahead of McCain by only 2 points, well within the poll’s margin of error. The CNN Poll of polls also includes new surveys from Quinnipiac and Gallup.
While Obama is hoping that the Democratic Convention (which is already gaining the reputation of being “more party than politics”), will give him a big boost, some anti-Obama Dems are encouraged that McCain is considering a pro-choice VP. This comes as a relief for even some Obama supporters as the Democratic party is backtracking in its support of abortion rights. According to ABC News:
The Democratic Party is planning a convention designed to soften the edges on the party’s support for abortion rights, with a revamped platform and a speaking lineup that reinforces efforts to broaden Democrats’ appeal on the hot-button issue.
We are all now familiar with Backtrack Obama’s selling-out of key Democratic issues, including FISA, abortion rights, public financing, et al, and we have no doubt that Obama will go to any length to adapt his persona in the pursuit of power and fame. Obama is a product and his advertising campaign is funded by donations to the Democratic party. And the newest advertising hype in this sells campaign is that of Obama’s choice of a VP candidate. Why is this non-issue receiving so much media attention? According toABC, Obama’s campaign is using the VP announcement to distract attention from the Clintons, from PUMA, from The Denver Group, from JSND and from the many others who are protesting the hijacking of our party:
…a late-in-the-week rollout {of the VP} would have another benefit…It could help overshadow the other dominant story heading into Denver, which is the long-running drama over how Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and her husband, former president Bill Clinton, and Clinton’s supporters will handle themselves during the week.
Let’s not let them down! GO PUMA!!!!
