Men, Seniors Flip to Obama


By Baxter

The economic turmoil appears to be taking a political toll — as it should. A new CNN poll shows Senator Obama with a five-point lead over Senator McCain in the Presidential election.

The biggest gains, according to CNN political analyst Bill Schneider, are among seniors and men.

Gee. Do we think this means that voters care more about their pocketbooks and their children's future than they do about eyeglasses, hairdos and lipstick on pigs? Can't say we blame them.

McCain campaign manager Rick Davis — you know, that guy who made $30,000 a month as a lobbyist — said a few weeks back that the election wouldn't be about issues. We cats say, he couldn't have been more wrong. And the polls are bearing us out.

Rick Davis doesn't know what it's like to face bills he can't pay. And neither does his boss, beer-heiress-spouse John McCain.

Necesito Obama.
