Early Rasmussen Poll: “Barry” Obama Leads “Panama” John McCain By Five Points

Why The “Barry Bump” In The National Polls In The Last Few Days? I Have (as usual) A Theory…

Hey, do you think just MAYBE Barry Obama could be leading the Panamanian-born and eventual migrant to the Great State Of Arizona, U.S. Senator and present G.O.P. presidential “hopeful”, Señor John McCain, because he has, thus far, avoided naming Her Royal Highness, Sir Hillary Rodham Clinton as his running mate? Guess what? I DO.

I happened to check out MemeOrandum as usual, just to see what my fellow bloggers were arguing about, and somewhere down beneath the fold, I saw the link to one of the newest Rasmussen polls showing that Señor McCain was favored in another “Great State” by the name of “West Virginia by a margin of 45% to 38%. No HUGE surprise there, of course. But as I dug DEEPER into the Rasmussen Reports, I learned this:

Daily Presidential Tracking Poll

Barack Obama is leading John McCain in the National General presidential election polls via Rasmussen but Panama John leads Barry in West Virginia - big surprise of course...The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows what may be the beginning of a bounce for Barack Obama. Obama now attracts 45% of the vote while John McCain earns 40%. That five-point lead for Obama is up from a two-point advantage over the past couple of days. Before that, for much of last week, McCain had enjoyed a slight edge.

When “leaners” are included, Obama now leads 48% to 43%. Leaners are survey respondents who initially do not favor either candidate but indicate their support on a follow-up question (see daily results). One week ago today, McCain had the edge over Obama, 46% to 43%. …”

Hmm. The “Barry Bump”. Again; I truly DO believe some of it has a LOT to do with the fact that Barack, despite all the rumors going around these days… I.E.:

  • That “secret” one-on-one meeting between Barry and Sir Hillar at Diane Feinstein’s home – Source: The New York Times’ Blog, The Caucus
  • CNN: Majority of dems want Obama-Clinton ticket
  • Sir Hillary is just begging Barry Obama to bail her out of $20M (USD) in campaign debt — in exchange for SOMETHING, but WHAT? – Source: The Associated Press
  • Democratic Superdelegate Congressman Rob Andrews of New Jersey; a Clinton supporter at the time, received a “disturbing” phone call from the Sir Hillary For President Campaign where the person on the other end of the line was bragging about how the so-called “brilliant” Senator Puppet from New York was clapping herself on the shoulder for her deliberate playing of blacks against jews to help boost herself over Barry Obama – Source:The New Jersey Star Ledger
  • But hey — most of those are nothing more than “rumors”, right? On the other hand, the FACT remains that so far, at least publicly; Barry’s said either “no” or “not yet” to Sir Hillary for the veep position. And, judging by the Rasmussen national poll, the “Leaners” they talk about are HIGHLY favoring Barack Obama over Señor McCain of Panama Arizona. Throw Sir Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton into the mix, particularly in the capacity of running mate, and I guarantee you if nothing else changes, those so-called “Leaner” numbers will go toward Panama John. Just watch and see for yourself…

    That is, unless Barack sticks to his guns and just says “NO”. A cushy little cabinet position somewhere in the background where we don’t have to listen to Her Royal Highness’ shrill voice every other day will be just fine. And for that, SHE should be paying Barry Obama versus the other way around.

    I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, Mr. Obama — select Senator James Webb of Virginia for your running mate and you’ll get a free ad above the fold reaching out to somewhere around 300,000 readers per month (give or take). Go with Sir Hillary and let’s just say — “This Space Is For Rent“.

      GTL…I hate to sound like a kook, but I do know that alot of the most Powerful People are meeting in Chantily VA right now. And when I say powerful, I mean, the hotel they are meeting at is surrounded by private armed guards, Marines, as well as UN style troops.

      It’s what some call the “Bilderburger Group”. And there’s no doubt, that both Sen. Obama, and Clinton were “meeting” at the gathering.

      Lord, I sound like a crazy, but honestly, I wouldn’t put it passed them.

    • The GTL™

      Doesn’t sound crazy to me bro — it sounds like the Oligarchy we live in :-/

      Hear! Hear! Regular Ron. Remember, when your attending political re-education at your local FEMA camp. The official story is that Obama and HRC held their lil’ chat at Diane Feinsteins pad…not with the Bilderbergers…wink wink.

    • Brown Buffalo

      Damn! I know, I know…should have added that apostrophe…not “your” but you’re. I have atoned for my sins. push ups. many, many of them. Maybe I not only need political re-education, but some proof reading education thrown in the mix as well.

    • RegularRon

      FEMA re-education camps? Nice to see others who think like I do. I knew I wasn’t the only one who listens to Alex Jones.

      Oligarchy is right GTL. If I’m not mistaken Dr. Savage has been talking about that for years.

    • The GTL™

      Heh… I absolutely LOVE Michael Savage. HIGHLY disagree with half of what he says, highly AGREE with half of what he says. The man’s the BEST on talk radio, PERIOD :-)

    • RegularRon

      GTL…Here’s a article from InfoWars.com, it’s a kind of crazy place that’s run by Alex Jones. But they have done some good reporting on the meeting, I believe.
