The Arizona senator has a 13-percentage-point lead over his Democratic rival both with men and senior citizens, and a 23-point advantage among rural residents, according to the Associated Press-GfK Poll of likely voters. He's also doing better than Obama at consolidating support from party loyalists: 94 percent of Republicans back McCain, while 83 percent of Democrats prefer the Illinois senator.

The poll is in line with others showing that in the days since both parties picked vice presidential candidates and held their conventions, Republicans have gained momentum and erased a modest lead Obama held most of the summer. McCain leads Obama among likely voters, 48 percent to 44 percent, according to the AP-GfK Poll.

"My heart sort of runs with McCain and my mind probably tends to run toward Obama," said David Scorup, 58, a county government official in Othello, Wash. "I think I resonate more with McCain."

This nation has suffered through eight years of an ill-prepared and unblinkingly obstinate president. One who didn’t pause to think before he started a disastrous war of choice in Iraq. One who blithely looked the other way as the Taliban and Al Qaeda regrouped in Afghanistan. One who obstinately cut taxes and undercut all efforts at regulation, unleashing today’s profound economic crisis.

In a dangerous world, Americans need a president who knows that real strength requires serious thought and preparation.

On Saturday, a Palin aide told The Associated Press the governor also set foot in Iraq during her July 2007 trip to see members of the Alaska National Guard, although the campaign has not emphasized it since the visit was brief. The aide, who demanded anonymity before answering the question, said Palin visited a "military outpost" on the Iraq side of the Kuwait/Iraq border.

Answer contradicts newspaper report
That answer appears to contradict one provided to The Boston Globe, which reported Saturday that McCain-Palin aides had twice revised their description of Palin's visit to Iraq.

The newspaper said unnamed aides initially explained that Palin had visited a "military outpost" inside Iraq. The Globe said campaign aides and members of the Alaska National Guard subsequently explained that she did not venture beyond the Iraq/Kuwait border when she visited the Khabari Alawazem Crossing on July 25, 2007.

Lt. Col. Dave Osborn, commander of the 3d Battalion, 207th Infantry of the Alaska National Guard, who was in charge of the 570 local troops serving in Kuwait and Iraq, said Palin did not cross in Iraq.

"You have to have permission to go into a lot of areas, and (the crossing) is where her permissions were," Osborn told the newspaper during a telephone interview Friday.

No, you are not. You are a democrat and only vote that way. You are ignorant of other candidates true qualifications because you dismiss them and never learn them. YOU are one of the reasons that we have terrible reps in Washington.

You do not take your job seriously. You only campaign against people who are not democrats. You fool no one.

Now back to the details of the Obama plan, you cannot touch it because he is going to increase our deficits, increase spending and new programs...and that is OK with you. As long as the President is a democrat, you do not care how irresponsible and senseless their plan is...

If you cared about others, you would have provided health care to your one employee instead of using the excuse that payroll taxes were too high.

Your lying post that Palin's husband is an oil and gas tycoon is an example of what you really are, you just cannot admit it. You could not wait to start an attack on the choice even though you knew nothing about her, you posted a lie in the hope of hurting her, instead of first learning about who she is, no, sorry, you are not a good voter, you are an ignorant voter.

Taking money from rich people who work hard for a living and bust their asses to be successful in order to give it to people who are almost invariably underperformers with little ambition, education or drive to change is antithetical to the American dream.

You should read Thomas Sowells version of the Grasshopper and Ant fable, you might learn something......
