Just heard Sean Hannaty on the radio saying that Obama's polling data is in "free-fall". Let's take a look at just how bad it is. Gallup:
Clinton: 49%
Obama: 42%
Devastating, particularly if you consider that Obama was ahead by 6 in this poll just a few weeks ago. If you're someone who is possessed with a pathological, hateful and murderous rage for Obama that consumes your every waking moment, your investigation into the current state of the race might end there. If not though you might dig a little deeper into polls like the one from CBS
Obama: 46%
Clinton: 43%
Or the Rasmussen daily tracking poll:
Obama: 45%
Clinton: 44%
CNN:
Obama: 52%
Clinton: 45%
Obama: 49%
Clinton: 42%
Most of these polls have show movement towards Clinton over the past few weeks, but I would hardly call this a "free-fall". I think that's overstating it just a bit. And most of these polls were taken before Obama's speech which should help to shore things up for him.
All in all, I would say the political obituaries on Barack Obama are just a bit premature.

No, I wouldn't say it rises to the level of a "free fall" at this point.
Right now it's still more like a mere "hemorrhage."

CNN is too busy licking Obama's feet- anything coming from there is pffft.
You know what they say.. the bigger they are, the harder they fall.
Barack is on his way down.

I find it amusing how Larkin sings the same tune about everyone lately. Whether it's his pale Lee Ward, or his political foe Sean Hannity, if they are critical of Obama, they are hateful, or filled with a murderous rage towards Obama.
Yikes.

Obama would continue to fall and here is just one reason.... I'm wonder what would be his reaction when America is under attack, as was in september 11.
He keep telling that he did not vote for the war, but remember that IN THE BEGINING THE WAR WAS A RESPONSE TO THE ATACK PERPETRADE BY BIN LANDEN IN AFGANISTAN...
Just think about...
