(July 14) -- A new Newsweek poll shows that Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama leads Republican rival John McCain by just 3 percentage points, a statistical dead heat -- and a sharp drop from the 15-point lead Obama held in June. Why the sudden shift? Obama has run up against challenges since clinching his party's nomination in June, but McCain's big surge is tough to explain.
Newsweek has the full story.

The poll is not surprising. it seems that we may have another mcgovern on our hands. a whole lot better that another carter who still continues to embarrass long after his time is over.we would indeed have dinosaur sized brains to elect a trainee to the job of President. what a joke!obama is just not qualifiedMccain you're all we've got.

Sometimes you just have to put your faith in people's common sense. No one with so much as a pea-sized brain would trust this country's future to a young trainee. This world is perilous and this country is caught in a whirlpool. Barama just has to keep looking cool in his sunglasses (the only person I know who takes them off when he hits the sunlight) and I'm wagering that people will get the message. Does anyone else notice that his makeup is getting darker? When he was shooting hoops in an open collared polo shirt, his chest looks like Michael Jackson's. What's up with that?

The headline reads that Oboma's lead has faded...... Obama himself is faded.... His consistent use of poetic rhetoric cannot hold water....Especially since the meaning of his words are changed to mean something completely different days and sometimes even hours after he says them....McCain might be older but he is as the media themselves dubbed him to be... a true maverick . The snake doesn't stand a chance against McCain who has both the experience and the integrity to serve as President of the United States of America.

To all of my like-minded friends participating in these blogs:Whatever you may think of the "Religious Right" in this country...they pack a lot of clout. I realized this a while back...recognized that they were not really too excited about John McCain (or Hillary...if she becomes viable again) and I began sending them the shocking things that I continually uncovered concerning "Barry" Obama. The result? I managed to scare the living daylights out of them...!!! I see the results of my efforts this week and I expect to see a groundswell of opposition to THE MONSTER IN OUR MIDST...almost daily...from now on.Time is short. We must all use it wisely...or suffer the predictable consequences.http://www.eyeblast.tv/Public/Video.aspx?rsrcID=2036
