Was anyone else worried this was going to be a close election?

Question

I was a little worried when all of McCain hate tactics erased Obama's lead over the course of the summer. But the events of yesterday and today have most likely decided this election. Obama is a gifted speaker who has just inspired a new generation. Then McCain cheaply steals his thunder by choosing an inept running mate, in a very transparent move...

Obama by a mile

Answer 1

It's going to be a close election.

I think Palin will be the difference maker.

Answer 2

Yeah if Mccain picked Romney I'd be pretty worried cause the polls were close. Now with his pick of miss beauty queen, I'm happy as h**l. Obama is going to win in a landslide now.

Answer 3

It's going to be close but McCain will be the winner

Answer 4

Actually according to the Polls (MSNBC) http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032553/ Obama is dropping like a rock.

Answer 5

No.  Just a matter of time before John got off his leash and did something or said something extremely stupid.  Never expected this in a million years and wish to god i could see what Cheney is up to tonite.  

After a survey of 2,727 registered voters beginning Tuesday and concluding Thursday, mostly before Barack Obama's acceptance speech, Obama has increased his lead over rival John McCain to eight points.

The largest lead in the poll Obama has ever had was nine points, in a poll recorded July 24-26. Obama entered the Democratic National Convention leading McCain 45-44.
