Obama rising?

Quinnipiac University is reporting that Senator Barack Obama is ahead in four key battleground states. "With a lousy economy, an unpopular war and an even less popular Republican president, it's difficult to find voters who don't want change," said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac's University's Polling Institute. In Colorado, Obama leads McCain by 49 to 45 percent. Last month, McCain was ahead one percentage point in Colorado, 47-46 percent. In Michigan, Obama leads McCain 48 to 44 percent, compared to 46-42 percent on July 24. In Minnesota, Obama is holding on to a two percentage point lead of 47 to 45 percent, compared to 46 to 44 percent in late July. In Wisconsin, Obama leads by 49 to 42 percent, although his advantage has narrowed from 50 to 39 percent in July." While it would be nice for McCain to pick off Wisconsin, Minnesota, or Michigan, since they all voted for Kerry in 2004, the only concern here is Colorado, which Bush won in 2000 and 2004...Obama yesterday called himself a fiscal conservative...Should Obama be elected, most of his new spending programs will be on hold as a result of the $700 billion bailout proposed by the government...Speaking of the bailout, does any one wonder what happends next IF the bailout does not work? Committing 5% of the GDP to such a venture makes a lot of people nervous but there are no guarantees. Common Sense would like to know, "What's Plan B?"

There are 42 days until the presidential election. And, it's been 2,766 days since there's been a terrorist attack on US soil. Good day and God bless!
