Barack Obama Leads John McCain, In Polls!

Huzzah, here are some new fake polling results from Quinnipiac today: Obama 47, McCain 43 in Florida; Obama 48, McCain 42 in Ohio; Obama 52, McCain 40 in Pennsylvania. Now Obama will be president for life and McCain will be banished to Mongolia to start a new life as “Maverick of the Yaks.” [The Page]

    But that doesn’t include the people who still think Clinton will get the nomination and will then vote for McCain.

  2. AngryBlakGuy says at 11:06 am, June 18th, 2008

    …yeah, and that drilling off the coast thing just completely torpedoed his chances here in Florida.

    It’s not just the Poles who love Barry, but almost the whole wide world!

    People around the world who have been paying attention to the American election express more confidence in Barack Obama than in John McCain to do the right thing regarding world affairs. McCain is rated lower than Obama in every country surveyed, except for the United States where his rating matches Obama’s, as well as in Jordan and Pakistan where few people have confidence in either candidate.

    McCain is so winning Pennsylvania and Michigan.

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

    @AngryBlakGuy: Something tells me the privatizing Social Security isn’t going to go over well either.

  6. AngryBlakGuy says at 11:19 am, June 18th, 2008

    …and is it me or does it appear that the Republicans are using this election to test the waters for what stances they should take next election season? Everyone knows the Republican party is the party of pandering so its hard for me to believe that they all of a sudden have chosen ideology over power.

    Botswana Meat Commission FC: Yup.
    But what’s Tim Russert’s approval rating?

  8. WadISay says at 11:28 am, June 18th, 2008

    Looks like I am going to have to break out the sheet music to the Internationale.

  9. masterdebater says at 11:31 am, June 18th, 2008

    No no no, they meant, “…leads McCain in POLING”. A common mistake though.

  10. RaptorAvatar says at 11:38 am, June 18th, 2008

    To quote from one of my favorite Wonder Showzen sketches, “We’re takin’ it back!”

  11. Rodney Badger says at 11:40 am, June 18th, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: I’m out in CA. How big a deal is that for you guys?

  12. As always, the poll results were manipulated by pollsters tying up and shoving into closets all the Clinton supporters moving to McCain prior to the polling. Wasn’t too hard - there were only a couple per state.

    AngryBlakGuy: I dunno, I know plenty of folks in scary places in the center of America’s Flaccid Cock that are A-OK with offshore rigs. As long as they get to keep their truck nutz and guns, they’ll vote for anything. Remember the Monorail?

  14. Cape Clod says at 11:57 am, June 18th, 2008

    Yeah but wait until that ad comes out in the ‘Sun Time’. That’s going tip Illinois over to the McCain camp.

  15. Naked Bunny with a Whip says at 12:06 pm, June 18th, 2008

    Of course the young black guy’s pole will beat the old white guy’s. Please tell me they didn’t include pictures.

  16. chidem says at 12:08 pm, June 18th, 2008

    Offshore drilling is going to go over so well in Florida. One commercial about beaches turned to oil slicks and McCain is out.

  17. Guppy06 says at 12:09 pm, June 18th, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: Because, here in Florida, it’s more popular to pay $5 a gallon at the pump and send off the young’uns to get shot up in some desert somewhere than it is to allow Gulf coast drilling. The whole “having your cake and eating it too” thing isn’t working out so well.

    On the plus side, bestiality is still legal!

  18. Walter Sobchak says at 12:14 pm, June 18th, 2008

    chidem: I’m telling you, it’s more complicated than that, all kidding aside. There are some seriously loony folks here, and they WILL vote for stupid things. We’ve proven it in the past. But I would hope Nelson and the rest of the FL Dems have the sense to make that ad. Bonus points if they point out that that oil is actually made up of McCain’s deceased brothers and sisters, having lain in the ground millions of years, waiting to fuck up your vacation.

  19. Naked Bunny with a Whip says at 12:23 pm, June 18th, 2008

    Guppy06: bestiality is still legal

    I seriously need to move.

  20. thefrontpage says at 12:25 pm, June 18th, 2008

    Common Sense Poll: McCain will be the next president, by a wide margin.

  21. problemwithcaring says at 12:31 pm, June 18th, 2008

    Electoral College Dropout: Except WALNUTS! is still the only non-terrorist candidate who recognizes Fidel Castro as second only to Islomafacism as the single greatest cultural threat to American freedom, my friends, or something like that. (It’s still early here.)

  22. shortsshortsshorts says at 12:38 pm, June 18th, 2008

    9 out of 10 people preferred Mr. Clean to 409 before each product was introduced to the public as well.

  23. Whore Diamond in the Rough says at 12:49 pm, June 18th, 2008

    Somewhere, Harriet Chritian just threw up Ensure in her mouth.

    Also, I accidently turned on Bill “black babies” Bennet today, and he says that 67% are for off shore drilling…hmm.

  24. Whore Diamond in the Rough says at 12:51 pm, June 18th, 2008

    Darehead: Not surprised by the mid-east countries. They don’t have a good history with teh African folk.

  25. So…the Maverick of the Yaks would be the..uh..Maveryack? Don of the Yaks? Yak with the Biggest Nads or BigNadYak? Yak-Daddy? Yakadoodledandy? What?

  26. ColdCupofHope says at 1:05 pm, June 18th, 2008

    Wow! WALNUTS! should keep right on campaigning his tail off in those states. Looks like the Bitters are eating it up. Just wait until the “out of touch” set hears about his fantastic privatize Social Security plan.

    It’s gonna a be landslide… of hilarity.

  27. NoWireHangers says at 1:42 pm, June 18th, 2008

    I know it’s early and there are many polls that say many things, but dude. If and when Obama wins…there will be some CELEBRATION. And if somehow WALNUTS! wins…I’ll loot myself some nice parting gifts before I leave the country.

  28. stinkhairstu says at 2:21 pm, June 18th, 2008

    Speaking of Obama’s pole, will we be hearing news about Larry Sinclair’s “press conference” soon? Pretty please!!
