Moderators John317 Posted September 5, 2008 Moderators Posted September 5, 2008 WASHINGTON, Sept. 4 (UPI) -- The U.S. presidential race between Sens. Barack Obama and John McCain is a draw, with each receiving 42 percent, a CBS News poll indicated Thursday. The poll, conducted Monday through Wednesday, is in contrast to a CBS survey conducted last week, when the Democratic ticket led the Republican ticket 48 percent to 40 percent, CBS said. In the latest poll, 12 percent indicated they were undecided and 1 percent said they wouldn't vote. McCain officially was nominated as the GOP presidential candidate Wednesday after his vice presidential candidate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, addressed the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minn. McCain also closed the enthusiasm gap some with Obama, poll results indicated. Fifty-five percent of Obama's supporters told pollsters they were are enthusiastic about their choice, as did 35 percent of McCain's backers. Last week, just 25 percent of McCain's supporters expressed enthusiasm about their candidate, compared to 67 of Obama's backers. The CBS News poll was conducted by telephone with 835 adults nationwide, including 734 registered voters. The overall sampling margin for error is plus or minus 3 percentage points.

Moderators John317 Posted September 5, 2008 Moderators Posted September 5, 2008 You must have missed Julie's speech at the DNC. When did Julie speak? What night? Are you sure you mean the daughter of Richard Nixon? The DNC schedule says, "Remarks Susan Eisenhower, granddaughter of President Dwight D. Eisenhower." The wikipedia: Quote: Susan Elaine Eisenhower (born December 31, 1951 in Fort Knox, Kentucky) is a consultant, author, and expert on international security and the relationship between the United States and Russia. She is the daughter of John Eisenhower, and the granddaughter of President Dwight Eisenhower... She spoke on the final day of the 2008 Democratic National Convention. Her speech was delivered at INVESCO Field at Mile High in Denver, Colorado, and began with, "I stand before you tonight not as a Republican or a Democrat, but as an American." The full transcript of her remarks as delivered are on her official website www.SusanEisenhower.com,as well as video of her remarks at the Convention.

carolaa Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 And I even remember thinking she didn't look very much like a Nixon, but then it's been a long time.... Quote
Moderators John317 Posted September 7, 2008 Moderators Posted September 7, 2008 No problem. I just thought maybe I missed something big there, because I wasn't able to watch all of it. Julie Eisenhower has donated money to Obama's campaign, though.
