Although if you look at the results by candidate and check out Obama, you see a not so slight drop in his numbers over the past several weeks :) Thats why I don't think we'll be seeing too many more debates (if any), the more light that hits him, the more the veneer peels back. I'd be extremely surprised if this guy won the election (in addition to horrified, fearful and depressed).

I like the AOL Straw poll because it is a straight forward question which would you vote for. There are other AOL polls of interest as well you might check out. It is 2:50 AM CST and vote stands at 70/30 McCain. I am guessingthat this weeks poll will end as usual with a 10 to 15 point win for McCain.

However, isn't it "mainstream" America who does have access to the internet?
