Again, I don't know your personal situation.  Mortgages are based on more than just credit.  In all honesty I shop at the comissary where a box of brand name cereal is only $2.25 and there is no taxes.  However, the important question is how will Hillary or Obama correct it?  More importantly, is Bush or Congress responsible for the "poor" economy?  Finally, why would we want candidates in Office who promise to spend more and increase are already record budget?  Taxing the wealthy won't do anything to drive prices down, in fact it would have the opposite affect as any economist would tell you.

I wasn't aware that Ramussen was a biased company.  There is another poll on the site that shows McCain leading as well.  Again, the more people polled, the more accurate it is.  Other than you asserting Obama will win Ohio, why do you think so.  I'm from Ohio and can tell you (as the primary showed) that Ohioans won't eat up Obama's message of hope and change, Ohioans need actual promises and look to your history - another reason Kerry lost Ohio in 04.

Find me another (recent) poll with 1700 people and I'll take into account your claim that ramuessen is biased.

Edit:

Is gallup biased too?  http://www.gallup.com/poll/105040/Gallu … ma-45.aspx   4500 voters in this one.

I agree that gas prices are getting out of control and need government intervention.  I'm by no means a socialist, but mandatory things to live on such as water, power and even the telephone/internet have government regulation.  A significant portion of gas prices is taxes that supposedly go to fund the interstate system, but the increasing gas prices are a burden everyone is feeling.  I'm tempted and will probably soon quit driving my truck all together and ride my Harley to base everyday.  I'd support a well thought out plan to control and regulate gas prices.  If the war in Iraq was fought over oil, I sure as shit haven't seen any benefit from it.

With regard to the economy, is anyone suffering as a result of it?  I personally don't know anyone but hear alot of people acknowlegde that they hear its bad, but have nothing person to reflect to.  Luckily my ass will be on a tax free tour to the middle east in several months and will be able to bank some money.  Unfortunately not everyone can do that.

I'm skeptical of Metallica's new album.  I was a huge Metallica fan in high school, I even stayed with them through the Napster bullshit as I agree with their argument.  But Saint Anger was straight dog shit for me. I haven't enjoyed a Metallica Album since The Black Album and Master of Puppets is my favorite and their finest album IMO.  While I'll buy the new album when it comes out, I certainly don't have any expectations like I do for CD or the new VR album.
