Teasing today's NBC/WSJ poll

Posted: Wednesday, June 11, 2008 12:00 PM by Mark Murray

From NBC's Mark Murray
Here's one question from today's NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll that we're releasing early: 59% say it's more important to have a president who will focus on progress and moving America forward, versus 37% who would rather the president protect what has made America great.

VIDEO: A Hardball panel debates: How can the Clintons be most effectively used to help Barack Obama win the presidency.

We don't want your copy cat 'change' mantra McCain. George Bush used his persona to mask his Neo-Con agenda. The American people were fooled by the screwball badly, twice. We have our eye on the ball this time at bat. The Iraq war was and is a lie, OBL is laughing at the great warrior GWB. OBL should be dead. These terrorists will laugh at McSame too. Swinging blindly in the middle east makes our military look misdirected and out of sorts. Our nation's might should not be at the hands of these baffoons. We must exersise our greatest assest as a democracy and stop the madness. Reign in the Neo-Cons before these stupid wars cause our gas prices to increase to level that will bind this nation in a gridlock.

Just one little detail - the MILLIONS of Hillary supporters will NOT vote for obama - add that number to the MILLIONS of Repubs that WILL VOTE for McCain - and - looks like McCAIN is our GUY!!
It's Called Double UP! - whatever it takes to keep obama out of the white house - he is NOT qualified.

oh goodness gracious. you guys are having WAY too much fun with this. since when does the media have the right to tease us with this goofyness?? I know this election is a total shoo-in for the dems in other words, the next months are just going to be a lot of spin and hooplah, but Obama is totally our next president. .. and I know you (msnbc) love the ratings and have to give this race SOME sort of added suspense aka drama but sheesh.
