		<description>Obama&#039;s tax plan will destroy the Social Security system.

Obama says his income tax plan will lower taxes for 95% of Americans.  There is just one problem with this, 40% of Americans already pay no income tax.  Obama&#039;s response to this is that these people pay Social Security tax.  Well, that&#039;s not income tax, but a contribution to their retirement plan.  So if he wins and implements his tax plan, for the first time in the history of Social Security, 40% of the people who will get retirement benefits will have paid nothing for them.  Social Security will then loose all pretext of being a retirement plan, and will become a national welfare program.

This will cause Social Security to lose public support in a massive way. Leave Social Security contributions out of income tax plans.  If you take some peoples income taxes to pay others Social Security taxes, Social Security will be destroyed forever.

		<description>Stephen Green must have been on a different planet watching reruns of &quot;Days of our Lives&quot;. He certainly wasn&#039;t watching the debate, or he would have seen a grumpy old man, lurching around in an intellectual fog, trying to give coherent answers. But, the anti-Obama attack goons were out in full force, trying to spin a McCain defeat into a victory. I watched Hannity for a little while, but his bigotry made me sick. What really pains me is that I am a conservative, who is well to the right of McCain, and he is the only &quot;conservative&quot; choice I have. No thanks!. I will sit this one out, because McCain, as President, will be far more dangerous for America than Obama.</description>

		<description>Part of the problem is Jeffrey Immelt of GE.  I understand they own Newsweek, Time, NBC, MSNBC, and several other things belike.  Info may not be exactly right, nor current, but I believe it is.  Too lazy to check.  GE no longer a Fortune 500 Blue-chip stock.  Recently downgraded.  I kind of discount their polling, too, as a result.</description>

		<description>Marc Malone - thanks for the added insight. I knew old wounds - not properly attended/healed for years - kept him from looking as &#039;elegant&#039; as the superficial Left prefer. But I think you&#039;re right about additional efforts to exacerbate his discomfort and deceive the public.

Newsweek magazine has hit Sarah Palin equally hard with its latest cover of her. Trying its best to make a beautiful woman less attractive. I hope Americans become aware of what&#039;s going on and revolt. In huge numbers. Every media outlet engaging in biased behavior like these examples should go under. No credibility remains.</description>

		<description>Cut McCain some slack for shuffling about the floor.

  First, he couldn&#039;t sit down, because his chair was too tall for him.  Sneaky danged thing to do to him.

  Second, the place was freezing.  All the reporters were talking about it.  When you have a lot of old wounds, that environment is murder!  it&#039;s why old folks retire to sunny states.

  McCain was really in pain.  He often had his hand extended to the back of his chair.  That&#039;s to shift some of the weight off some sore spot.  Sometimes he was wandering about the stage area.  If you stay still in that environment, your aches and pains get much worse, and old joints freeze up.  He was really toughing it out.  I know from experience.</description>

		<description>Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby Poll:
Obama 47%, McCain 45%

The telephone tracking poll shows neither candidate with a clear advantage in the national horserace

UTICA, New York - The race for President of the United States remains far too close to call between Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain as both candidates head toward the finish line, a recent Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby daily tracking telephone polls shows.

Data from this poll is available here

The survey, including a three-day sample of 1,220 likely voters collected over the previous three days - approximately 400 per day from Oct. 5-7, 2008 - shows that Obama holds a slight advantage amounting to 1.9 percentage points over McCain. This represents a bit of a recovery by McCain, who had been sliding in some polls before his running mate, Sarah Palin, put in a strong performance in her one and only debate performance last Thursday.

Three Day Tracking Poll

45.3%

Others/Not sure
	

7.7%
	

7.0%

The Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby poll, was conducted before Tuesday&#039;s Obama-McCain debate. It was performed by live telephone operators in Zogby&#039;s in-house call center in Upstate New York, included a total of 1,220 likely voters nationwide, and carries a margin of error of +/- 2.8 percentage points.

Candidates Doing Well Among Their Own Party Members 

The two candidates are doing well at attracting support from their own partisans - Obama is winning 84% of the Democratic Party support and McCain is winning 85% of the Republican Party support - but Obama has the edge among independent voters. He leads McCain among independents, 48 to 39%.

Obama wins support from a slightly higher percentage of conservative voters than McCain is winning from liberal voters, but the advantage is small. 

Daily Tracking Continues 

This daily tracking telephone poll will continue each day until the Nov. 4 election, keeping in touch with the daily twists and turns in the race for the White House. The running poll of about 1,200 likely voters consists of three days of polling - about 400 from each of the last three days. With each new day of polling that is folded into the poll, the oldest third of the survey is replaced with the fresh data, so the poll &quot;tracks&quot; movements and events in the campaigns. Keep up to date every day by visiting www.zogby.com.
