Should John McCain be worried he isn't that far ahead of Obama and Clinton in polls?

McCain in theory should have no chance of winning this year. He is a continuation of the Bush policy which most Americans now dissagree with. He has no passion when he speaks...it's as if he really doesn't want to be president that badly. Keep in mind when Clinton won, he wasn't picked until June or July I don't think. Once a nominee is picked, the real numbers will start showing themselves.

Everybody everywhere except here seems to know that the polls do not matter. McCain is not really running until he has an opponent.

Being more liberal in some cases than his opponents, he does not give Republicans much to vote for. They will be for him, but not find the time to vote.

He has said that he would not overturn Roe V Wade.

He voted against the Bush Tax cuts twice.

He introduced his own bill with a path to citizenship without leaving the country or punishing those that came here illegally.

People make a big deal about Obama knowing a racist, but McCain actually is a racist, and has said racial slurs on camera. IN A PRESS CONFERENCE. Another senior moment. You will see them.

He votes with his party only 32% of the time.

This entire election cycle is a train wreck. How did the Democrats get two candidates in this election? They really cannot lose. It may be better for the Democrats to get McCain in. It will provide the illusion of bipartisanship.

The people who think that McCain's lead in the polls is significant must also think that we once had a president Dukakis and a President Perot. Dukakis had a 17 point lead in the polls coming out of the 1988 Democratic convention yet lost to Bush. In June of 1992 Perot was well ahead of both Clinton and Bush, a lead that eventually disappeared.

the only pollthat counts is in November while John McCain will win. there grew to become into by no ability any question McCain might win. basically via ways vast a margin. Th Obama marketing campaign is a meteorite and is commencing to apply up. human beings do no longer choose an American Idol King of the international. they choose a President.

No, its still too early to trust the polls at this stage. Dukakis had a big lead over Bush,sr. as late as July in the 1988 election and we know how that turned out.

When all is said and done, McCain wins comfortably. Obama is too polarizing and divisive.

No. If Obama gets the nomination by throwing Mich and Fla under the bus with his typical white grandma, they won't forget it in Nov. And Hillary supporters are moderates as is McCain and they will tend to vote McCain as a protest. I don't see any love lost between Obama and Hillary and it carries down to their supporters.

McCain will be our next president. In 1952 a similar democratic squabble broke out, and Dwight Eisenhower was elected. Watch for a repeat of that...a history replay if you will.

I think so. Once the fighting is between the two opposing parties, it will get a lot nastier. Grampy McGrumpy won't have a chance, unless Obama is the dem nominee.

McCain Obama Hillary....no difference

Ultimately 46 percent of the country votes democratic, 46 vote republican and the last 8 percent vote depending on personality or issues at the last moment.

In October you will know whos ahead.....right now the Republicans are resting and fundraising......not campaigning.

While the progress in Iraq and the Economy will highly effect the outcome of the election....the following statement about oil prices WILL HAVE NO effect. Oil prices are caused by a lack of production facilities, oil being traded as a commodity valued in the now weak dollar and speculation. Democrates can not sugest that prices will drop if you vote for them.

Well, I think he is a centrist candidate and a lot of conservative Democrats are going to vote for him. He has been supported by Lieberman, and conservative Democrats (and independents) love McCain and Lieberman. Yes, there are still conservative Democrats out there even though their party has been overtaken by extreme liberals like Obama.
