Obama Ahead in VA, 53% to 43%

Holding The State’s 13 Electoral Votes
SurveyUSA Breaking News - 8 minutes ago



Virginia

29 days until votes are counted in Virginia, Democrat Barack Obama is
ahead 53% to 43%, according to this SurveyUSA poll conducted exclusively
for WDBJ-TV in Roanoke, WJLA-TV in Washington DC, WTVR-TV in Richmond,
and WJHL-TV in the Tri-Cities. In 4 tracking polls conducted since the
Republican Convention, McCain has gone from up by 2 to down by 10.

There is movement among men, where immediately after the GOP convention,
McCain led by 10, and where today Obama leads by 11.
There is movement among whites, where McCain’s once 22-point lead is
today reduced to single digits.
There is movement among the well-to-do, where today for the first time
Obama leads.
There is movement among pro-choice voters, where Obama’s lead has
doubled since August.

McCain no longer leads in any region of the state. In Northeastern VA,
which includes the DC suburbs, Obama leads by 24 points. In Central
Virginia, home of the Confederate White House, the Museum of the
Confederacy and Appomattox, Obama today leads by 8. In Southeastern
Virginia, Obama leads by 11. In the Shenandoah, where John McCain led by
24 points one month ago, Obama and McCain today tie.

Gosh, no wonder Herring wants to desert Virginia for one of the
Carolinas...where he can fly his confederate flag in safety.

But it might not be *North* Carolina, because there is a chance that
state might turn blue, too.

Where's Sarah Palin? Virginia needs a wink and a shout-out.

During the depression, many people who were otherwise liberal decided
that countries need a strong central leader, basically a benevolent
dictator. Thus, many people who were actually liberal found
themselves backing fascism in Italy, Spain and even Germany. These
leaders cultivated the cults of personality around themselves just as
we see Obama doing today. The weird videos of kids chanting Obama
slogans as if Obama is the "Dear Leader" of a North Korean style cult
of personality state are truly chilling. One can easily extrapolate
from history to see that an Obama presidency is likely to lead to
extreme curbs on our freedoms and that any criticisms of Obama will be
seen as an attack on the state itself. People like Harry consider
themselves to be liberal but in reality are extreme authoritareans who
do not believe in personal freedom, they believe in the state. They
argue that their beliefs in the power of the state is because the
state is good but all of history belies this. I believe that with
the media firmly in the Obama camp, congress controlled by Obama and
the DNC and no balance in American Politics, we will have a cult of
personality that will seem like something out of a dystopian novel
police state. The media will defend curbs on freedoms until they
cannot say anything on their own.

Evidently no one is promoting his increased taxes proposals.
