Why Is This Presidential Candidate Smiling?



Poll: McCain's Attack Strategy Paying Dividends

Sunday, August 3, 2008 6:30 PM

WASHINGTON -- Intensified attacks by Republican John McCain on the character of his Democratic opponent have coincided with Barack Obama losing a nine percentage point advantage in a national poll, which showed the candidates running dead even over the weekend.

McCain, who had vowed to avoid the kind of negative tactics that were used against him in the 2000 Republican primary contest with George W. Bush, began attacking Obama during the Illinois senator's trip to Iraq and Afghanistan late last month.

In the course of the McCain offensive, Obama's lead in a Gallup Poll tracking survey slid from nine percentage points on July 26, when he returned from overseas, to nothing by Saturday, when the poll showed the candidates tied at 44 percent.

Last week was a miserable one for Lord Barack Obama the Divine. The bounce he got from his self-important coronation tour of the Middle East and Europe collapsed more quickly than a Bill Clinton lie. And things are about to get worse for the Obamafraud. To know him is to distrust him.

Let me try to answer your question: maybe he doesn't know where he is? What day it is? Whether he's still alive or dead? Smile!
