Political Pulse | The Associated Press-Yahoo! News Poll on Yahoo! News

What else do we need to know? The most important factor has already been decided!

In case the link changes, here is the article I am referring to:

Quote:
Obama would get more barbecue invitations than McCain

WASHINGTON (AP) — People would rather barbecue burgers with Barack than munch meats with McCain.
While many are still deciding which should be president, by 52 percent to 45 percent they would prefer having Barack Obama than John McCain to their summer cookout, according to an Associated Press-Yahoo! News poll released Wednesday.
Men are about evenly divided between the two while women prefer Obama by 11 percentage points. Whites prefer McCain, minorities Obama. And Obama is a more popular guest with younger voters while McCain does best with the oldest.
Having Obama to a barbecue would be like a relaxed family gathering, while inviting McCain "would be more like a retirement party than something fun," said Wesley Welbourne, 38, a systems engineer from Washington, D.C.
Party label means a lot, with three-quarters of Democrats picking the Democrat Obama and the same number of Republicans picking McCain, a Republican. Independents are about evenly split.
"John and I would probably have a lot to talk about," said Republican Michael Mullen, 53, of Merrimac, Mass., like McCain a Navy veteran.
One in six people saying they'd vote for McCain prefer Obama as their barbecue guest; just one in 20 Obama backers would invite McCain.
The AP-Yahoo! News survey of 1,759 adults was conducted online by Knowledge Networks from June 13-23 and had an overall margin of sampling error of plus or minus 2.3 percentage points. The margin of sampling error for subgroups was larger.

It's a loaded question. Do you think they let the poll-ies choose who they like or just
force a LESSER OF TWO EVILS option down their throat ?

That's a brainwashing trick. Let people think they have a choice but give them
predetermined chooses to choice from. If they think they had a choice they will
convince themselves that that was the choice they really wanted!
Maybe not a brain washing trick but more like the old "Jedi Mind Trick"
(Jedi mind trick - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Nader
Baldwin
Barr
Are all in the race were they suggested? I don't think the media wants Americans to
do any research on those candidates.

So you think only 327 people will vote for Nader, Baldwin, or Barr ?

Unfortunately for America, most voters get ~90% of their info from the Boob Tube.
And the Boob Tube does not cover anything meaningful from any third party candidate!

I'll vote for Obama, thanks.

Is this question this election's version of which candidate would I rather have a beer with?

I don't want a president who is cute and cuddly and telegenic and fun at parties.
I want a president who is qualified to f-ing BE president.
Why the hell isn't that what EVERYONE wants?

Want news watch Glenn Beck daily... objective equal opportunity reporting of negativity on all candidates. Just news with his point of view... you view and you decide.

I think if 327 people did there research, there would be 327 more votes for Ron Paul.

I would get bored watching Glenn Beck. I'd rather watch Sean Hannity.
