There were no significant changes in the daily tracking polls; Gallup had no change at all, putting Obama at 47% and McCain at 44% . An LA Times/Bloomberg poll put the candidates at 49%-45% among likely voters. But the dominant poll of the day remained the Washington Post/ABC News survey giving Obama a nine-point lead, along with a Fox/Opinion Dynamics poll showing Obama at 45% to 39%. "
Jim from Boston wrote on Sep 25, 2008 6:58 AM:
No if we are to believe the right, the price of gas will decline with future drilling so Alaska's income will decline.
If McCain is elected he will end your earmark bonanza so it sounds as if Sarah put you in a hard place.
Please tell me again what you like about her administration. Sounds like a future disaster. "

THE POLL: CBS News-New York Times national survey
THE NUMBERS: Barack Obama 48 percent, John McCain 43 percent.
OF INTEREST: Obama has regained the lead that McCain erased after the Republican convention. Those who say the economy is getting worse are heavily for Democrat Obama, those who say it's stable or getting better are more likely to be for Republican McCain. Independent voters have swung back toward Obama. One-fourth of the voters say they are undecided. "

Malfeasance refers to an individual intentionally performing an act that is illegal.
Misfeasance, is a legal act performed wrongfully. That is, a public official may do something that is not illegal but is mistaken or erroneous.
Nonfeasance , closely related to misfeasance, is the failure to act even though a duty to act existed.

I admire her determination, not to mention her
demonstrated drive for smaller government and her implied willingness to go
after political corruption in Washington.
What remains to be fully flushed out is Sarah Palin's position on illegal
immigration. Word is that she is against amnesty; let's hope so, because the
tipping point for me and many American voters on whether we vote for a
McCain-Palin ticket rests on this pivotal issue. "

This is an incredible election year. How much more incredible would it be if we, the public, engaged in civil discourse and voted freely the path of change closest to our heart and mind? To my fellow Wasillians: When I see you with your McCain-Palin signs, I will say "Namaste" (I see the God in You); When you see me with my Obama-Biden signs, I will imagine you invoking the same utterance.

Palin puts Wasilla "on the map", she's "attractive", a "breath of fresh air."
But the 2nd most powerful person in the country?
Maybe if my duty as a citizen was to only vote for those who:
- resemble me (religiously, racially, etc)
- will serve only those like me
- will help me feel superior to people who think and vote differently than me...
...so, "no". "

I wanted to get the impressions of people who saw Palin grow up, play high school basketball, become a beauty queen, get married, host the evening sportscast, have five kids, win the race for mayor, get elected governor, offer the video introduction to an Alaskan separatist event, fire the top state cop under questionable circumstances, and learn that her teenage daughter is pregnant.
Not all negatives or positives. Just impressions from those in Alaska who best know Palin. Not this partisan garbage from outsiders. "

You can keep talking about what you want, or you can actually change. Follow Sarah to see how its really done. There are a lot of friends, family, and citizens that stand with you Sarah. And that will grow everyday as they finally decide that change is what they really DO want. "

We know you are proud of your governer.
The facts: McCain is 72 years old.
If Palin had to step in to lead, do you REALLY think she would be ready? Her views are not shared by the majority of Americans. In the real world, when you run for national office, you, your family and associates are carefully looked at. We want our leaders to be viewed in a positive light to others around the world. Palin has too many skeletons in the closet. What about trooper gate? AIP? etc. "

Poor Judy, don't you know that Obama just adds his name to a bill, he goes along with bills that will not be vetoed and he never writes a bill. Do you know that what you described is NOTHING. The original authors of the most of those bills were republicans who passed them in a DEMOCRAT congress. These "accomplishments" could be done in less than 2 weeks! "

I hoped that McCain would have pressured Condi Rice for the job. A woman was a great choice - but not just any woman will do. A bit of international experience is a must. Pity the Palin children. What a mess they will be after four years in the big city! "
