Democratic Super Delegate from wisconsin says at the DNC's convention she is going to vote for McCain.

There are probably more Dems who back Mac than GOPers back Hussein.

The 14 that you are talking about are composed of individuals who haven't endorsed anyone yet. They will endorse McCain a little later.

over the last week, he has risen in the gallup w/ obama declining....so, this argument is ridiculous.



Now, as you can see Obama is losing support and momentum that he got after the rat confirmed him as the nominee. He now is at a 2-week low. He is going down, down

His two week low is still above where McCain, so your argument makes no sense.

Chafee is also an Independent, not a Republican.

So he's also a Democrat...

Do you have any Republicans?

Dillard is a Delegate for McCain.

Wanna try again?

Wrong again. He left the Republican Party years ago.

That's one, although hardly prominent.

I see a lot of relatives of Republicans and people who have left the Party, but that list is horribly inaccurate.

Right now, they are just starting to set the tone of their campaign. This early, i really can't tell which i would side with, but i am leaning towards obama. Furthermore, the GOP base is not even warming up to mccain (of course, i could be wrong) and even though it's still early in the game, this just proves to show how we see our candidates to-date. i know i will get burned for this, but i think mccain is a warmonger. i get the impression that he doesn't care to what happens to our troops in the middle east and the other parts of the world. Can’t we just all get along? i think it is time for a purification; i think it is time for a change; i think it is time for obama time. Now that the candidates are set for the US Presidential Election, Barack Obama and John McCain are beginning to set the tone for their campaign. Looking at their most recent speeches in http://pollclash.com , what do you think about what you hear?
