If you wonder why McCain is pressing the gas on the smear train.
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows Barack Obama attracting 52% of the vote while John McCain earns 44%. This is the highest level of support ever recorded for Obama and is his largest lead of the year. It also continues a remarkable twenty-five days in a row where the Democrat’s support has never declined by even a single point.
I should also point out here that the vice presidential debate hasn’t moved the momentum of the race away from Sen. Obama, and even with the stars Sarah Palin shot into the eyes of conservatives, it may have helped him a bit – especially from women who are not Palin fans.
Barack Obama is benefitting entirely by the demise of our financial system and it’s effects on the economy; not because of Sarah Palin. The fact that liberal bloggers cannot contain their obvious glee over this once in a lifetime phenomenon at the most opportune time for them, is very telling.
If Jeremiah Wright had won the Democratic presidential nomination and had selected William Ayers as his VP running mate, he would be leading over John McCain, or any Republican candidate for that matter, with what is going on right now.
Evidently, Pyrrhic victories are sweet.

Not that I agree, but you are saying that this GOP candidate couldn’t beat Old Scratch for the St. Peter job. Got any idea why the GOP would run such a loser?
Wait, I forgot. He’s the BEST candidate thay had!
John McCain’s going full world nut daily
Dennis, what specifically did Bush II and McCain do to halt our current financial crisis? Not that they could have prevented it by themselves, but only two weeks ago McCain was saying “the fundamentals of our economy our strong.”
Obama isn’t exploiting anything. He’s simply pointing out that the Republican party has ruined the American economy. He has a right to say so. And Americans are going to elect him, because they want fiscal responsibility like we had in the 90’s.
Now, McCain is running against himself. He’s been in the Senate for decades. He helped pass the legislation that de-regulated Wall Street into the state it now is.
You only have yourself to blame for ever voting Republican in the first place.
Shorter Dennis: blah blah blah
Barack Obama is benefitting entirely by the demise of our financial system and it’s effects on the economy
Wow, Dennis, I wouldn’t figure you to admit that Team McCain is such a disaster with respect to economic policy. Welcome to the Reality Based Community.

Glee over what? We aren’t happy over the economy tanking. We are in glee over McCain’s campaign imploding. McCain is just as ignorant as Bush. Hell, if you knew any history, Pearl Jam’s Bu$hleaguer could has been written about McCain as well. Both have been complete failures frat-boy/party boy failures their whole lives who traded in on their family name to get them where they are.
I’ve lost at least a 1/2 million dollars since the market began tanking. It is hardly glee watching the market dive. The glee comes from that starting in January, there will actually be adults at the wheel of the economy.
Glee over what? We aren’t happy over the economy tanking.
We also take no glee in the Iraq Invasion being such a disaster. We went hoarse trying to avoid sending good young men and women to an avoidable disaster, and for it we were labeled traitors by the Dennises of the world. So we take no glee in any of these wildly unfortunate circumstances–we’re not, you know, Republicans.
Shorter Dennis: When the Emperor parades about naked, the blame should fall on the little boy who points it out.
Enlightened Liberal: I’ve lost at least a 1/2 million dollars since the market began tanking.
Wow. Is that you personally?
“We went hoarse trying to avoid sending good young men and women to an avoidable disaster…”
Was that before or after voting for the war?
The congress stupidly gave Bush the power. But only one man made the final decision to send the country into war. His name is George W. Bush.
No one here voted for the war, hedley. We weren’t in Congress. For that matter, no one in Congress voted for war either. They voted to go to war if the President exhausted all other reasonable possibilities. He did not.
Sean, yea, that’s me. I’ve been very lucky in my life and worked very hard. Guess all that tax money I “saved” with the Republicans is going away, huh? I weep for those who don’t have any money to lose in the stock market.
The glee comes from that starting in January, there will actually be adults at the wheel of the economy.

As Obama’s poll numbers have risen the stock market has gone into a tailspin. The stock market is a leading indicator, and right now it is not projecting any confidence that Obama’s policies, along with a Democratic-controlled Congess, can lead us anywhere but down.
But keep cheering for it.
“The stock market is a leading indicator…”
Was it a leading indicator when it began tanking in 2000 as GWB headed towards the presidency, or just now when it benefits Republican talking points?
Is that a rhetorical question?
The stock market is a leading indicator, and right now it is not projecting any confidence that Obama’s policies, along with a Democratic-controlled Congess, can lead us anywhere but down.
Bank failures? Frozen credit markets? Assets with dubious value?
Dennis would have us believe that the stock market remains unaffected by any of that. Markets are tanking worldwide over fears that Obama Hussein X is going to…to…um, do something!
“But keep cheering for it.”
And please do keep up the quality trolling, Dennis. It’s always good for us to stay abreast of just how ridiculous the right is willing to make itself as desperation and panic sets in.
Dennis: As Obama’s poll numbers have risen the stock market has gone into a tailspin.
And as the cart rolls forward it pushes the horse along.
Dennis, you are either the dumbest person alive, or the smartest chimp.
Was that before or after voting for the war?
I never supported the Iraq Invasion. Ever. How about you, Einstein?
Barack Obama is benefitting entirely by the demise of our financial system and it’s effects on the economy;
Heaven forbid a democrat benefit from republican stupidity.
Was that before or after voting for the war?
I didn’t vote for the war.
As Obama’s poll numbers have risen the stock market has gone into a tailspin. The stock market is a leading indicator, and right now it is not projecting any confidence that Obama’s policies, along with a Democratic-controlled Congess, can lead us anywhere but down.
I think you have that backwards. Obama’s poll numbers are rising BECAUSE the economy is crashing under Rethuglican rule.
Dennis, why do you hate America so much?
Was that before or after voting for the war?
Was that on the ballot? On the other side, perhaps? Right below the town sewer referendum?
I totally missed it.
