Zogby, Rasmussen and Gallup all report McCain closing to 5 points back. Zogby had him 12 back, Rasmussen 8 and Gallup 6 in their previous polling. McCain’s use of the Joe the Plumber and the tax issue in his ads is working!
Unilaterally, John McCain agreed to disarm himself by refusing to use perhaps his most potent weapon in exposing Barack Obama: the Democrats’ relationship with Rev. Jeremiah Wright. The McCain campaign and, at its direction, the Republican Party, have banned use of footage of Rev. Wright from their campaign commercials. Perhaps for fear of being accused of racism, they are not bringing up the single most compromising association in Obama’s past - his close liaison with Rev. Wright.
But it does not matter that Rev. Wright is black, white, or brown…or purple. What matters is that he spews hatred of the United States and that Obama was an active participant in his church. Or are we supposed to believe that Obama regularly attended church with Wright for two decades, chose the Reverend to baptize his children and officiate at his wedding, titled his book Audacity of Hope after a sermon of the Reverend’s, but did not know of his anti-American views? Nonsense.
The only time the issue has been used was during the Democratic primary when Obama’s ties to Wright were first revealed and the Reverend’s horrific anti-American sermons were aired on television. Even then, Obama tried to distance himself from Wright in the mildest of possible terms, only denouncing him more sternly after the relationship had begun to sap his standing in the polls.
Fortunately, one independent expenditure group — NationalRepublicanTrust.com- has the courage to bring the truth about Rev. Wright to the attention of the American people. NationalRepublicanTrust.com has prepared a hard-hitting advertisement that features some of Wright’s worst rantings and explains the intimate relationship over twenty years between the preacher and the politician. NationalRepublicanTrust.com, of course, is funded by individual donations, so their financial resources are limited.
As we enter the final week, this election is not yet over. Zogby shows Obama’s lead collapsing from 12 points on Thursday of last week to just five points over this past weekend. Other polls have Obama’s lead in the 5-7 point range, little enough ground to close in six more days. Only surveys that have quotas for large number of Democratic participants show Obama’s lead to be in double digits.
But McCain will not win with one hand tied behind his back. So now is the time for all good Republicans to come to the aid of their party and run the ads that should be run to defeat Barack Obama.

” Obama as the champion, that he is, for minorities, will do his very best to get them to take better and better jobs.
I wonder if one of those jobs they take, will be my very own. Who then will be my champion?”

Dick, Will somebody please say something on air regarding the Barack Obama lawsuit from Phil Berg?
I was a McCain supporter prior to him winning the republican nomination. I donated money and purchased yard signs and a large banner, all to place in front of my house. I was feeling tapped out up until recently. While frustrated with the restraint that he has exercised in not re-visiting the Rev. Wright issue, I have been motivated by the newest polls, McCain’s increased expression of passion and the republican trust’s willingness to re-visit the Wright issue. I donated to McCain’s campaing once again. I also donated to the republican trust after Dick Morris mentioned what they were doing. Then, tonight I received an email from them stating that they had raised over $3 million, which allowed them to broadcast in 5 swing states and needed another $3 million by Friday to broadcast in a total of 10 swing states. I donated once again. I believe that Rev. Wright is a HUGE issue and I am very pleased that it has come to light once again. Any reasonable person, regardless of their race or ethnicity, should be concerned with Obama’s relationship with this man. There is no way Obama attended this church for 20 years, subjecting his entire family to this non-sense, and not know what he was all about. Not only does Obama not know wha Wright is all about, he subscribes to it. Anyone who would vote for Obama, knowing about the Wright issue either needs to be psychologically evaluated or grow a spine!
I think this could be the biggest story to ever hit any presidential campaign in a long time. It’s about the deceptive use of hypnotic messaging to influence the minds of millions of people.
If you want a scoop then you have one. Forget about Rev Wright. That’s small potatoes compared to this.
Here is the link.

I have already given money to this cause. The Polls are closing and I have determined that the weighted polls and that polls historically have exaggerated the Democratic support in the general elections. McCain has a real chance at winning this election. I have faith he will. I have given my vote and money to his cause. I have answered every posting in the media as I would to help support McCain. Dick you said it a long time ago. If McCain hits Obama with the tax issue over and over it will gain him ground. Well again you were right.

[…] 美国08选举日日益临近，麦凯恩也步步追赶，民调专家Dick Morris在自己的网站撰文指出：Zogby，Rasmussen和Gallup三大民调网站的最新民调都显示，麦凯恩和奥巴马的支持率差距已缩小到了5%，而之前奥巴马在这三大网站曾分别以12%，8%和6%的较大优势领先。他认为这说明了“麦凯恩针对管道工乔和税收问题制作的广告”已经奏效。但他还是提醒麦凯恩要继续奋起直追，现在不是留一手的时候，赖特牧师这张王牌是时候打出来了。 […]
