Obama got absolutly no Bump from adding Biden to his ticket. Most pundits and pollsters say the only one who could have given Obama a bump is Hillary Clinton. The tie has been 3 days running in daily tracking polls.

PRINCETON, N.J., Aug. 25 (UPI) -- Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama and his Republican opponent John McCain are running neck-and-neck, a poll indicates.
The last Gallup Poll Daily tracking polling conducted before the beginning of the Democratic National Convention on Monday indicates Obama and McCain have 45 percent support among likely voters.

The results include results from two days of polling following Obama's pick of Delaware Sen. Joe Biden as his running mate.

Gallup said there was not a bounce in Obama's poll numbers following the much-anticipated announcement of his vice presidential nominee. McCain has not announced his VP pick.

For the Gallup Poll Daily tracking survey, Gallup interviews at least 1,000 U.S. adults nationwide each day during 2008. The general-election results are based on combined data from Aug. 22-24, 2008. The maximum margin of sampling error is plus or minus two percentage points.

Think that photo says it all, Al. There's going to be a struggle for power between these two that will not bode well.

It's only logical if we want to end up looking like Europe, which would be disastrous.

His omjly shot to win was with Hillary... Obama, will not be the next Prez. of the US, and McCain will be a 1-term Pres., with Hillary leading the party in 2012 and winning the WH with a majority in both houses of Congress.

The reason Obama didn't choose Hillary? One words -- "Bill" and "Hillary"! Obama and Michelle (both) don't want to share the stage with the Clinton's. After November, Obama will return to the Senate, as the Junior Senator he is without experience to lead the country.

McCain will have a rough 4-years; wars in Middle East and rumors of war in other theatres; and an economy that won't begin to bottom out until the ead of 2009, and a real estate market that won't bottom-out until 2010.

Obama is as assured to win the general election now as Hillary was assured to win the democrat primary a year ago. I don't think this time will be different.

Today it is Obama 45, McCain 46 during the DNC! McCain takes the lead (still a dead heat statistically) But you know numbers. If I were to guess you and accountant or engineer of some type. As you have You micro/macro economics down.
