General election polls: Obama +8 PA, tied in New Mexico; Edwards best VP pick

[lsusteel]

PA:

Obama 48
Mccain 40

Obama gets support from 70% of Democrats (still too low, come on guys) and 16% of Republicans; Mccain gets 76% of Republicans and 17% of Democrats
Obama leads by 3% among independents


They also did some ticket comparisons:

PA:

Obama-Edwards 50
Mccain-Huckabee 40

Obama loses support among independents in this hypothetical and trails by 7, but he gets 18% from Republicans and 73% from Democrats.


Obama-Sebelius 42
Mccain-Huckabee 45


Obama-Rendell 47
Mccain-Huckabee 40


Obama-Hagel 42
Mccain-Huckabee 40


Edwards is consistently the best choice for VP.

Obama-Edwards 52
Mccain-Pawlenty 35


Obama-Sebelius 41
Mccain-Pawlenty 38


Obama-Edwards 52
Mccain-Romney 37

Obama-Sebelius 40
Mccain-Romney 41

Obama-Edwards 50
Mccain-Lieberman 38

Obama-Sebelius 42
Mccain-Lieberman 41




New Mexico shows the same thing. Obama/Edwards beats every Mccain ticket (52%-35% over Mccain-Pawlenty, for example) while every other ticket loses to Mccain's tickets.

5. PA is much closer than this. And their NM poll doesn't square with Rasmussen

which has Obama up in NM +9.

6. C'mon Insiders... Do NOT Push These BS LLOSERS For VP on Us... John Edwards Gives Us The WINNING...

Margin BIGTIME! Not ONLY that... Edwards will BUCK UP Obama in ANY Election SHENANIGANS that occur. There will be... NO BACKING DOWN in 2008 w/ Edwards on the ticket!! See Mark Crispin Miller's video for details.

The kitchen sink has ALREADY been thrown... Obama and the rest of US are ... ALL MARXISTS AND COMMUNISTS!!!!!! Acccording to the radio and TV FASCISTS! So we cannot do some nonsense like picking an unknown governor from Ohio or Sebalious to try and pick up Kansas... TOTAL NONSENSE!

Pick John Edwards... and we ... RUN THE FUCKING TABLE... POTUS, CONGRESS SENATE... THE WHOLE SHEBANG! Pick someone else and losing BIG becomes a REAL POSSIBILITY!!!!!!!!!! :banghead: then :think:
