Alaska: Obama Still Competitive (Rasmussen)
Source: Rasmussen Reports

In one of the bigger surprises of Election 2008, early polling shows Barack Obama as potentially competitive in Alaska.

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Alaska voters finds John McCain earning 45% of the vote while Barack Obama attracts 41%. Seven percent (7%) say they’d vote for some other candidate while another 6% are not sure. This is the third straight poll showing Obama within single digits of the presumptive GOP nominee. A month ago, McCain was up by nine. Two months ago, it was McCain by nine.

McCain is supported by 78% of Republican voters while Obama attracts 74% of Democratic voters. Among those not affiliated with either major party, it’s Obama 48% McCain 33%. A month ago, Obama attracted 47% of unaffiliateds while McCain was supported by 41%.

McCain is viewed favorably by 57% of Alaska voters, Obama by 53%. Both figures are up a point over the past month.

1. It's going to be just like the last two
The fascists have no intention whatsoever of giving up power. If electronic voting fraud doesn't work, they'll just starting beating people in the streets.

3. Not even close. Many of us can see the Emperor STILL as no clothes.

I want to believe it is possible for Obama to "win" in a totalitarian nation like Amerika, with it's Third World Media and it's Third World "Voting", but like hoping Hitler would "lose", hoping the Bushies and McBush "lose" is something that can't be fully believed until it is seen.

And yes, the Bushie Criminals will stop at nothing from stealing it.

5. Yup, that's right -- give up all hope and abandon all efforts.
Time for the left to be beaten down again with fear and intimidation.

7. Much of the population does not react that way to fear and intimidation
If they did, Bush would be liked. Many people get dispirited and lose hope. Not everyone thinks like you do.
You're not talking to yourself.
