McCain takes 5-point lead
In a sharp turnaround, Republican John McCain has opened a 5-point lead on Democrat Barack Obama in the U.S. presidential race and is seen as a stronger manager of the economy, according to a Reuters/Zogby poll released on Wednesday.

Guess we won't see Obama in a hurry to face off with McCain again.

But we know, Baron, that in the game of politics, this could change very quickly, right?

Re: McCain takes 5-point lead
This is good news. I suspect Russia raising it's ugly head a bit, has some people reconsidering.

I think that along with the almost universal opinion that Obama did poorly at the Saddleback event caused a pretty large swing in the polls. This is a 12 point swing in a month, that is huge.

I think so too, Stephen. My hubby and I were talking about that when McCain and Obama made speeches about it. McCain had the "commander in chief" image going for him that night.

In its excursion into Georgia, Russia is responding to aggressive American foreign policy. Specifically, to policy promoted in large part due to the action of one man - a man John McCain would likely place as secretary of state if he is elected.
It's not a pretty thought.
McCain already has many of us concerned that he will be quite the war-monger, and will swiftly have us spilling American blood in Iran, maybe Pakistan, possibly Syria, the Sudan, Darfur, and, thanks to the protection-racket like activities of Randy Scheunemann, shooting at real live Russians in Georgia.

Well Iran and Syria have already engaged in acts of of war with us-- but we have not responded. I think they have it coming to them in the near future and we will not be the wrong ones when we bring the fury!

Re: McCain takes 5-point lead
The color issue is why some are voting for Obama...that issue means nothing to me...white or black or green...I just want one that would keep America safe as possible and I do not think Obama would.
I am not into politics as you folks know...so my kids always tell the people here that are looking for votes, "if it is about politics do not go talk to mother she will tell you the whole history of the first church."
While I personally have my feelings about these things they are ONLY my feelings and not a doctrine preached at our church.
