The latest Zogby poll says Senator John McCain has made gains in several swing states including Nevada. The other states are: New Hampshire, New Mexico, Virginia and Missouri. In the Silver State, the latest Zogby poll has support for the McCain/Palin ticket at 51.5% and support for the Obama/Biden ticket at 44.0%. Zogby considers Nevada too close to call at this time.

Despite apparent gains for the GOP, the Democrats have passed a key threshold, Zogby estimates. The polling organization says based on its data, the Obama/Biden ticket would currently win 273 electoral votes. 270 are needed to elect. Zogby says at the moment the McCain/Palin ticket would take 174. 91 votes are considered too close to call by Zogby.

It's not the last 8 years!! It's the last 2 years! When did gas prices go up? When did the housing market take a dive? When did the deficit double? All the last 2 years! Because the Democrats control the House and the Senate! They blame Bush when he vetos things that have HUGE earmarks for other issues rather than the bill he is supposed to sign! You can thank Pelosi for that! Illinois is Full Democrat Controlled and they are hurting! The largest deficit ever!! Crime is up! Etc. etc. Vote McCain!

I voted today. Since I have no clue as to who Joe Biden is, and I notice the Dems are not letting us know much about him as they are Palin. For that matter, who's Obama? At least I know who John McCain is ! I'm sick & tired of the press telling me that Obama has won, I put 50 years of voting Democratic behind me and voted McCain/Palin.

Judging from the past eight years I do not believe anything that the Republicans have to say, much less give them another 4 years to cover their tracks.
