M 52% cares about corps/32% cares about protecting ordinary people v O 16% corps/70% ordinary people

It doesn't look like people are buying the McCain populist shtick.

I just love this stat:

And in a finding suggesting the difficult terrain Mr. McCain needs to navigate as Congress considers the Wall Street bailout 52 percent of respondents said that Mr. McCain care more about protecting the interests of large corporations, compared with 32 percent who said that he cared most about protecting the interests of ordinary people. By contrast, 16 percent of respondents said that Mr. Obama was more concerned with protecting the interests of large corporations, compared with 70 percent said he was more concerned about ordinary people.

McCain Leaps Into a Thicket



-snip-
Still, by nightfall, the day provided the younger and less experienced Mr. Obama an opportunity to, in effect, shift roles with Mr. McCain. For a moment, at least, it was Mr. Obama presenting himself as the old hand at consensus building, and as the real face of bipartisan politics.

“What I’ve found, and I think it was confirmed today, is that when you inject presidential politics into delicate negotiations, it’s not necessarily as helpful as it needs to be,” Mr. Obama told reporters Thursday evening. “Just because there is a lot of glare of the spotlight, there’s the potential for posturing or suspicions.”

“When you’re not worrying about who’s getting credit, or who’s getting blamed, then things tend to move forward a little more constructively,” he said.

1. NC+ 2, MI+10, CO+7, OH tied...

And that's not even factoring the seismic shifts we're seeing in voter registration. November 5th will be an extremely short night...I won't be crying in my coolers like in 2002 or in Canada 2006.

2. I watched that video (posted here).

I have to say that I absolutely adore Obama. Some people get after him for stammering and taking so long to answer questions, but I love it. The man is so thoughtful and mindful of his words. That is the most refreshing thing I've seen in a long time. I wish more people were as mindful of the stuff that comes out of their mouths. It would be a much better world. And even when you know that he's saying the Republicans are being assholes, you also know that he is being honest, not facetious. God, what a treasure. His press conference today was nothing less than amazing, IMHO.

5. The 70 percent part is very uplifting. That America gets it to me and they after all we've seen >

finally trust him and see simply that Barack is a very proud American with a funny name. It's a glorious day. It's only a matter now of getting folks to vote against tradtion and for America.
