If Sarah Palin becomes our Vice President, we will have a truly religious wacko in the 2nd highest office of the land. She is way out there in evangelical land. Just last summer she lectured her church about praying for a gas pipeline in Alaska and to pray for our Iraq mission that it is God's plan that our national leaders took us to war in Iraq. I never thought our country would take people like this seriously. Some of the more extreme racist elements in the Republican party such as David Duke and Jesse Helms have finally left the scene, and now we have the religious extremists in the Republican party assuming power.

Polls Show Close Presidential Race In The Swing States tpmelectioncentral.talkingpointsmemo.com By Eric Kleefeld - September 8, 2008, 10:17PM A new set of Rasmussen polls, all conducted yesterday in the middle of John McCain's post-convention bounce, suggests that this race remains close on the state-by-state level. • In Colorado, Obama leads by a 49%-46% margin, actually an improvement for him since McCain's 49%-48% edge three weeks ago. Both results are within the margin of error. • In Florida, the race is tied 48%-48%, compared to a 48%-46% McCain edge from about three weeks ago. • In Ohio, McCain leads 51%-44%, compared to a 48%-43% lead for McCain from almost three weeks ago. Rasmussen has been the most favorable pollster for McCain in Ohio. • In Pennsylvania, Obama has a slim 47%-45% edge, not significantly different from his 48%-45% lead two and a half weeks ago. • In Virginia, McCain has a 49%-47% lead, not significantly changed from a 48%-47% McCain lead from over three weeks ago. All five polls were conducted yesterday, and have a ±4.5 margin of error except for the Ohio survey, which has a ±4% margin error. Separately, a new SurveyUSA poll of Virginia conducted this past Friday gives McCain an identical 49%-47% lead, with a ±3.7% margin of error. This is also not significantly changed from a 48%-47% McCain edge from over three weeks ago.
