1. Their poll also gave Obama a debate bounce.

Tuesday's one day result was 50-42, now it is 52-40.

2. I don't think I've ever seen a non-incumbant with negative unfavorables.

That's a bad sign for McCain.

14. He's losing on 4 levels

1) the conservative base doesn't like/rust him. A lot of them would give him an unfavorable, but still vote for him.

2) He hasn't articulated any policies or programs that the public wants to hear.

3) He can't shake loose of his connection with Bush.

4) His physical appearance is unfavorable. He looks and acts like a tired old man.

3. Whoah. But are their dem vs. rethug demographics right?

Something like 35% Dems 26% rethugs. Seems too low for rethugs.

4. Actually they have said a 9-point difference is the same as Gallup is using between dems and reps.

5. Wow -- Whoever is Frustrated by Obama's Positive Laid-Back Style

and wants him to savage the opposition: this is the result. 50% negative. Unbelievable.

6. Wow. Biden and Obama have great favorability #'s too.

Staying positive but calling them out on their crap seems to be the way to go.

7. Completely (almost) unrelated, but what is the origin of "Oh Noes!"? Cracks me up every time.

9. Are you series?

all of these are freeperisms, gleaned by those courageous enough to venture there and do a little gleaning or from pictures that have been posted.

and my personal favorite:

stundents for McCain

there's lots more since there is one correct way to spell a word, but lots of ways to spell it incorrectly and humorously

and your punctuation is incorrect: it should be This is HUGH1!!1!1

11. I think it was inspired by Mr. Bill of SNL saying "Oh No!" but

who knows who first made the "no" plural.
