CNN/ORC poll: McCain, Obama nearly even
The CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey does show Obama, the senator from Illinois, with a 5-point advantage over McCain, the senator from Arizona, 50 percent to 45 percent. However, with the statistical margin of error, the race appears to be virtually a dead heat.
Last month, Obama held a 46 to 43 percent edge over McCain, the pollsters said. Other recent national polls have produced similar results.
The CNN/ORC poll indicates Obama's edge gets thinner when independent candidate Ralph Nader and Libertarian candidate Bob Barr are inserted in the mix. In that situation, Obama's lead over McCain slips to 46 percent to 43 percent, with Nader garnering 6 percent and Barr a 3 percent slice.
The poll, conducted June 26-29, surveyed 906 registered voters and carries a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.

Hey Bridget! While the first part of your post was a little off base, I did enjoy it as I am from the Puget Sound area.
About McCain not using a computer---you are right on! Can you believe that anyone in this country would vote someone in as President that doesn't even understand the tools of this era? That is like voting in someone for President who has never flown and never visited another country! Oh, yes, we already did that, didn't we? Perhaps Shrub had flown, but he had never visited any other country except Mexico. Look what that broad vision brought to us!!
Get with it, folks! Elect a President who understands what life is really like in the 21st century!
