Using the Internet as a guide for candidate popularity is not going to return accurate results.

Most of the older McCain supporters are still trying to program a VCR, not surfing the web.

People in Ohio probably got a glimpse of how well their democratic people take care of them when Kucinich went on the floor and instead of helping to lower gas prices, he calls for the impeachment of President Bush. Goes to show you that trying to impeach the President for fake so called crimes is more improtant to him then creating jobs and lowering gas prices for his people in Ohio. Why would anybody vote for someone who was voted one of the worst 10 mayors in American history. He is just as bad as a congressman.

Wow, the voter reg. numbers are interesting in Iowa...similar numbers of Dems, GOP, and Indys! I wonder if that's true in a lot of states. Very significant to me.

Iam from Iowa orginally now live in Wisconsin, and the people in Iowa love Sen. Obama. They still have signs in there yard from January supporting Obama. I think he will take this state in Nov. Also he holds a lead in Wisconsin and will take that state in Nov. Just my predictions.

OK, new strategy for my car...I have the Obama sticker, just need to get the gas one. And in between them both, I plan to have the 1-20-99 one. Just to make it perfectly clear!

"Fossil" McCain is a throwback to the losing policies of "Alzheimer" Raygunz. We need to end this old style thinking and move into the 21st century with new ideas. The repugnant ones want nothing but Sheriff of Notingham governemnt of taking from the poor and needy and giving it to the rich and greedy.

I also like Obama's "Pay as You Go" economic plan. Just look at how smartly he has run his campaign finances and that's a good indication of how he'll run our economy. Time to stop this debt financing of pushing the tax burden onto future generations just so the current ones can live high on the hog with their extravagant luxuries. Time for the rich and greedy to tighten their belts and sacrifice some of their ill gotten gains for the good of all.

Go Lakers!
Go Obama 08/12!

Obam is so much smarter than old man McCan it isn't even funny. Time to head out to the rest home for the aged one - he is just not smart enough and it is clear his thinking was warped from the time he spent as a POW.

We need someone smart, fresh, and mentally stable - vote Obama..!! McCain is washed up and will be pummeled in the general election like Bob Dole...

"Remember when McCain was the first mainstream presidential candidate to really make it online (that was 2000)? Now he looks like he's old school…"

Nah, he's just OLD. What are people going to do, go to his page and see if he had his Ensure today?

Obama will not spot McCain any advantage, nor should he. If McCain is the best man, let him prove it, and beat Barack. So far however, my candidate is running rings around John.

Mr. Prindle is right. As one of the posters said yesterday, American's pain is campaigning 24/7 for Obama.

Quick question. What has Obama done to reduce the price of gas? I'll give you the answer, nothing. Another question, what is Obama's plan to reduce the price of fuel?

And now you're voting for who for what reason?

There's definitely a generation gap for me. McCain is using buzzwords that only the elderly can hear. For example, although I know political history, I had no idea why McCain was comparing Obama to Carter, and McCain's position on Cuba seems time worn. Things like this confirm McCain's age. He should position himself for the future, not seek to remain entrenched in the past.

Just remember that the polls do not consider nor contact cells phones or text messages. So, are they accurate considering the youth vote for Obama? Of course not. Obama will win a landslide in November and the youth will do it for him. As a 64 year old white woman who has worked for over 45 years, I'm excited that the youth will finally activate themselves for a truly change candidate. Obama 08

Most young kids don't know enough about Navy man John McCain and they don't care about what's happening in Iran and other places that McCain will defeat. Yes, thats why they are all going liberal and want Jimmy Obamas taxing and spending. If we want more oil kids shouldn't be allowed to drive til there 18 or unless they join up in the military.

Hey, Lisa in CT: Hopefully you will have better luck with your bumper stickers in CT. I was almost rearended on the interstate the other day by a TN farm truck that apparently noticed my Obama bumper sticker, ran up on me and sat on my bumper (no one else was anywhere near us on the road.)

Then, yesterday, someone stole my Obama bumper sticker magnet at the mall and stuck it on another car in the parking lot.

I hope to get through the election without having my car windows bashed in.

That's my bumper sticker report from good ole Tennessee.

That's funny. Obama has about as much brains as a box of rocks. Sure, he has fancy diploma. But since he got that, he's done nothing. He just looks, acts, and sounds like a any other dumb liberal.

OK, You need to get some things straight, though the medium of the internet is fairly new, Obama's popularity has nothing to do with the generation gap. I was a die-hard Republican all my life until now-- Bush has shown us in every way possible how corrupt the party is. By this I mean, favoring the wealthy, getting us into an unnecessary war under false pretenses, and being so pro-business that the credit, mortgage, healthcare, and energy sectors of our economy are destroying the country. He and his co-horts are traitors and many in my age group have defected to the other side (tho actually, I would have rather had Hillary as President in hopes of her legislating Universal Healthcare). Obama will win by default, at least for our country's sake, I hope so. McCain will continue on Bush's path, don't kid yourself. What an awful thought--- 4 more years of this nonsense--- all for the mighty buck at our citizen's expense! Note: Too bad Clinton is so loyal to her party, it would be great if she ran as an Independent--- talk about changing the scope of American politics!
ps--- saying McCain is old, Alzheimer's, etc... is really stupid-- base your argument on facts, you'll present a better argument. I know just as many young people that are morons as those that are fairly intellegent. Age is not the issue here- its all about who can solve the nation's many problems. I know one thing--it's not a Republican!

There is truly a generational gap when it comes to women and education and the remaining two candidates. A lot of older women, who don't like change and don't trust youth, felt "at home" with Hillary because she was a chance for them to not only vote for a woman but to also vote for someone in their age group. Once Hillary dropped out, they were left with an old white man and a young black man. Those with higher educations (I'm 66-years-old with a Master's in education) have the inclination to research the real differences between Senators McCain and Obama. Those who have not achieved a higher education will resist change (and the age of McCain) and probably stay home this year. These women personally know men in their 70's who really don't have it all together and they can't see someone that old running the country. Senator Obama will never reach the older white women for the trust (age and color) issues but the older black women will move past Hillary and vote for the man who reminds them of their smart-as-a-whip nephew. The younger women like my daughters already know the issues and the stark differences between these candidates and they are both voting for their families, their wallets and their women's rights. That means they cannot vote for McCain
