New poll shows Obama, McCain neck-and-neck; Barr polls 8 percent
By Jeremy PelzerThe latest Zogby poll shows presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama leading presumptive Republican opponent John McCain by only two percentage points in Colorado.
But the poll's real surprise was that Libertarian presidential nominee, former GOP U.S. Rep. Bob Barr, polled 8 percent.
Previous presidential polls in Colorado haven't included Barr's name as an option, though polls within the last month have shown between 2 percent and 8 percent of Coloradans surveyed chose "other" when asked who they favored for president.
The poll, conducted online among 780 likely Colorado voters between June 11 and June 30, has a +/- 3.6 percent margin of error.

Quote of the Day
October 9, 2008
"The United States Senate has effectively recessed for the remainder of the year, and will not be considering new legislative proposals. I am retiring, and so my Senate career has also ended. Accordingly, I feel that your thoughts and views on this matter would be best addressed to my successor. The benefit of hearing from constituents on legislative and governance issues should be extended to Coloradoʼs newest Senator and not archived with me."

8% And Climbing!
Finally some Americans are starting to see the light and know that turning to the same lame parties time and again will get you nothing new.
Obama calls himself "change". It reminds me of Albert Einstein who said that true insanity was doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Don't vote "Republicrat" - For true change vote Libertarian!
