First I love it when articles in his OWN state admit there is an Enthusiasm problem.And an Arizona article about how Obama is ahead with young people miles ahead.
And 80% say we are in the Wrong Direction, and as far as the Economy People choose Obama over McCoot 45% to 33% New York Daily News found, and the Bailout is also not favored by most Americans either.
But the Best is the Polls out of Wapo that show 83% think Country is going in Wrong Direction.
and here is a snippet:
"More voters trust Obama to deal with the economy, and he currently has a big edge as the candidate who is more in tune with the economic problems Americans now face. He also has a double-digit advantage on handling the current problems on Wall Street, and as a result, there has been a rise in his overall support. The poll found that, among likely voters, Obama now leads McCain by 52 percent to 43 percent."

Still Waiting for Obama to come forward...See the thing is Neither of these Canddidates is on any of the Committees that are working on this...and also McCain just DAYS ago Said the "Fundamentals are Stable"...and hey , while he is taking some Time off the Campaign trail- maybe he should answer Some Questions about Rick Davis- read below...
4:40 PM::::
Obama gave presser - Blogged the whole thing in the Comment thread...basically he had spoken to McCain, and last spoke to him at 2 PM and they had decided to issue a Joint Statement...then at 2:30PM McCain came out and gave his little presser-and THAT was a totally different situation...McCain had NOT said anything about postponing the debate or suspending his campaign- Barack said it was mentioned in passing - he did not realize even at 2pm McCain was going to do this.....so as far as he is concerned- the Debate is to go on- it is important that 40 days before the Election THE people need to see the Candidates and hear from them....and then at 5 PM the Debate Commission issued a statement that they indeed intend to still have the Debate....Obama made it clear that he is in contact with DC and all revelant people Paulson and Dems ...So there you have it....McCain is trying to weasel out of the debate...
Bottem Line McCain can't Walk and Chew Gum...
