Barack Obama could be on the verge of falling out of contention in Florida.

Despite spending an estimated $8-million on campaign ads in America’s biggest battleground state and putting in place the largest Democratic campaign organization ever in Florida, Obama has lost ground over the summer. Florida has moved from a toss-up state to one that clearly leans toward John McCain, fueling speculation about how much longer the Democratic nominee will continue investing so heavily in the state. …

He is farther behind in the state than John Kerry was at this point in 2004, even though McCain began buying Florida TV ads only last week. By this time in 2004, the Bush-Cheney campaign had spent $13-million on Florida TV. In the rolling average of Florida polls compiled by the Web site RealClearPolitics.com, Obama has never taken the lead over McCain in Florida, and the latest average shows him behind by 5 percentage points. They were tied in early August.

Four Florida polls came out this week, with one showing a tied race, the others showing McCain leading by 5 to 8 percentage points.

And Pennsylvania? According to Zogby, Obama is down by five:

SM -- I don't think we've seen nothing yet -- I think they are only beginning to show their true side. Some man called in to our early morning radio talk show- - he said he signed up for a democrat newsletter --he related that in every email he received they pushed their ultimate agenda - to control Congress and the White House so they could push through all legislation with no opposition. It will be a sad day for America if that happens -- with the scary ones in charge -- Pelosi and Reid those two give me the heebie jeebies.

Palin Pick Wins Votes For McCain From Bob Barr

There were countless conservatives seriously considering voting for Libertarian nominee Bob Barr instead of John McCain until McCain chose Palin as his running mate. I’ve read several instances where someone was very lukewarm on voting for McCain and were considering Barr, then McCain chose Palin and suddenly Barr became an afterthought.

One could go back and listen to talk and radio show host Glenn Beck speak highly of Barr and come close to saying he would vote for him. That is, until McCain chose Palin. Now Beck said the other day to a McCain advisor, “Tell McCain he won my vote by picking Palin”.

Further evidence came today in an AP article discussing McCain’s tax cut proposals.

Elizabeth Kish, an administrative assistant from Gainesville, Fla., said she was put off by McCain’s record on immigration and was considering voting for Libertarian Party candidate Bob Barr until Palin’s selection.

“Once he chose Palin that was it for me,” said Kish, who was wearing a “Pro-Life Pro-Palin” button and another button featuring pictures of Chief Justice John Roberts and Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito under the slogan, “The Kind of Change I Believe In.”

So if you consider the Palin pick along with Bob Barr’s actions to annoy the majority of Ron Paul’s supporters it isn’t looking good for Barr. Given these two circumstances I’m starting to buy the story from the purist Libertarians who have been saying all along that Barr would not break the historic highest vote total for a Libertarian Presidential candidate.

I have lamented Ron Paul’s missed opportunity in recent articles. Now I must admit that Bob Barr seems to have missed a great opportunity of his own.

Hi! I don't post here, and don't really belong here being a life-long Dem, but I do lurk sometimes and thought this group would enjoy this....

Thanks Lara. Come back and visit sometime. We're really not that bad. We almost never tie up our Dem friends and lock them in a closet.

We have several other life-long Dems who like to hang out here. Some like us, and others not so much.

Thanks for the Craig Ferguson link. Very funny.

Couldn't stand it and had to post on the "Iraq visit" thread. Is that OP the one who is famous for posting the YAWN smilie?? I think I am just going to start posting "non-issue please move on". Or perhaps "Where is Obama?"
Ah...there are so many possibilities....

I almost lost it on the "Obama never said anything" post where they were defending a totally different low blow by the GOP (can you say OT) - um...yep...that is my problem with him. His lips are moving but nothing important is being said. Lob that quote up there...almost too easy.

I got into a "debate" with a Obamamite - I kept asking well why are you supporting BO? Give me something concrete. All I got was McCain is old. Palin has no experience. Um...got anything else? Guess not.

Great news! I knew Florida was looking better, but last time I looked, PA was still going for Obama (except in Transparent's area ). I need to check Ohio and Michigan....Obama still had quite a lead in MN last time I checked, but Norm Coleman is ahead in the Senate race.

In honor of our Texas compadres who have been through so much these past few days, I'd like to rustle up a meal just for them:

Oops, make sure I don't forget these.....

Bon appetit! Hope y'all are doin' okay, Mr Man!

Oh how I would love for PA to go to McCain!

I posted earlier - do any of you guys know of any sites that tracks congressional polls? I'm trying to find out how Tom Manion is doing against Patrick Slimball Murphy in PA's district 8.

And at a gathering of a non-profit [religious] organization that isn't supposed to endorse a candidate? Isn't Cindy McCain supposed to be there as well?

It's enough to make me want to pull their 501c3 - except I wouldn't know how to do that, I barely know what it is!

If a conservative-leaning organization/church did this....
