Partially for how it rolls of tongue and partially because apparently , at some point inthe development of the English languge some one felt it necessary to coin a single word ( a fancy latin-rooted word at that) to describe the act of "throwing someone out of a window"

Frakkin' Fingerfehlers...

I already quoted this song down below.  

Great minds...........

The Dems have run very little offense against McCain so far (the '100 years' ad being about it) and have yet to make it official with regard to Obama.

Check back on those numbers after the convention, and after a month or two of sustained "Bush 3.0" ads.

Cellular service is so cheap now that many people, particularly young and low income, are dropping their land line service in favor of using cellular phones only.  Since these polls cannot be conducted over the phone, your pool of "likely voters" in a poll tends to trend with the elderly and affluent which are more prone to vote for McCain (or Hillary).

I'd like to know how many Obama voters do not have land lines?  In almost every state he has outperformed the polls by 1 to 2 percentage points.  He'll do the same in November.

and the "maverick" image, but Top Gun was a shitty 80's movie, and maverick was played by Tom Cruise a crappy actor the scientologist nutjob, and likewise people will realize McCain is a shitty republican candidate still fantasizing about Reagan in the 80's and is a pro war nutjob. Just look at the box office returns for Cruise's latest stinker lions for lambs.

Yeah, it's really early. And yeah, I'm lovin' the tea leaves from the MS, LA, and IL special elections. But Poblano at http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/ has been really, really accurate, and for now he shows McCain beating both Obama and Hillary.

Work to do.
