SHOCK: Gleeful McCain Supporter!

So there's this AP poll that finds Barack Obama's supporters are "gleeful" and John McCain's supporters are "glum."

That smiling guy walking down the street? Odds are he's a Barack Obama backer. The grouchy looking one? Don't ask, and don't necessarily count on him to vote next week, either.

Supporters of John McCain, long less enthusiastic than Obama's, have become increasingly glum about the presidential campaign in recent weeks, according to an Associated Press-Yahoo News poll released Saturday. Their feelings have turned more negative during a period that has seen Obama, the Democratic senator from Illinois, take a firm lead in many polls.

Obama's backers have retained a higher level of excitement. One expert says the contrasting moods could affect how likely the two candidates' supporters are to vote on Election Day, possibly dampening McCain's turnout while boosting Obama's.

While 43 percent of Obama's backers said they are excited over the campaign, just 13 percent of McCain's said so, according to the survey of adults, conducted by Knowledge Networks. Six in 10 Obama supporters said the race interests them, compared to four in 10 backing McCain, the Republican senator from Arizona.

On the flip side, 52 percent of McCain supporters said the campaign has left them frustrated, compared to 30 percent of Obama's. A quarter of McCain backers say they feel helpless, double the rate of those preferring Obama.

More McCain supporters also feel angry and bored, while Obama's are likelier to say they are proud and hopeful.

All of this is a bad sign for McCain, according to George E. Marcus, a political scientist from Williams College who has studied the role emotion plays in politics. Negative feelings about a campaign can discourage voters by making them less likely to go through what can be a painful process: Voting for someone who will lose.

"If I'm getting my head handed to me by a tennis player, my brain is saying, 'Do I want a second match? No,'" Marcus said. "Why do something that's going to lead to failure?"

What a load!

Oh, yes, this is so painful. I'm going to be voting for someone who will lose. WAAAAH!

BS!

The Associated Press is Tokyo Rose. It's Hanoi Jane Fonda.

I'm not buying it.

Obama has reason to be concerned. McCain's message is resonating.

We don't want socialism. We want freedom and opportunity.

We want a strong military, not the sort of cuts that Barney Frank is hoping to get.

We respect life. Obama has promised Planned Parenthoood he would sign the Freedom of Choice Act, which would nullify almost all existing federal and state laws which restrict abortion. That's extreme. That's not finding common ground. That's not the act of a moderate.

Obama has been lying about McCain's health care plan, flat-out lying. Why would he do that? He's playing off people's fears. The same goes with Obama's outrageous accusations about McCain and Medicare.

Lies.

Americans are seeing that Obama keeps shifting his threshold for "middle class" tax cuts and his definition of the middle class.

He's backing off his campaign promises before he's even elected.


I think Americans are beginning to get it: OBAMA'S PROMISES ARE MADE TO BE BROKEN.

I believe that John McCain is going to win.

I'm sick of the lib media telling me that it's over. It's not.

I'm gleefully backing the winner -- John McCain.
