Obama

I also agreed completely with Nathalie’s initial remark. Everything I said can be verified, as well. Polling provides data that needs to be taken with a large grain of salt. Questions are very carefully worded and sometimes the samples are carefully fudged.

Of course, the results are equally carefully interpreted.

As far as the other remarks, well… Since all expressions of political opinion are "partisan attacks" then yes, that’s what it was.

I made an unaligned observation, whose content can be verified. Koroth made a partisan attack with no substantiation other than "I believe." 

Very true, however Zogby is more reliable than polls from the news agencies. CBS in particular, I believe, does very poor polling.

That McCain is pulling ahead of Obama, despite the love affair (and resulting free publicity) of the press for Obama really shows how lacking in substance Obama really is.

I’m sure CNN and the others will do their best to overcome that issue.

You can’t trust the Zogby polls because their methodology includes self-selected participants.  Always consider others when assessing.

Ya know, it seems to me that if Obama’s talkings about bringing people together was anything other than total BS he’d grab a staunch conservative as Veep. The Veep would have no power, beeing a Veep, but would probably grab quite a few votes from McCain.

It’d probably make for some intererest discussions on the Oval Office.

I agree. Have you ever read Michael Chrichton’s book Airframe? it has a subplot in which the media take a few facts way out of context in their desire to get the killer story.

Woldn’t it be nice to read a newspaper and believe that the front page articles weren’t editorials? I used to believe that, a long time ago. Thank goodness for the rise of the alternatives.

I tend to agree. It appears that many reporters are more likely to exagerate the news in an attempt to gain attention.  There is more garbage (sensationalism) being presented and very little in the war of factual news reporting. There is very little factual and non-biased news being reported. It appears that most are opinionated. Opinions only belong on the editorial page.
