Oh I love these numbers: The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows Barack Obama attracting 52% of the vote while John McCain earns 44%.

During debate for the bailout, McCain didn’t speak. Instead he entered into record a prepared statement. Barack Obama spoke for 13 minutes and all the networks covered it.

It looks like Obama did. First a CNN phone poll concluded this: Who won… Obama 51%, McCain 38%. Who would better handle Iraq: Obama 52%, McCain 47%. Economy: Obama 58%, McCain 37%. By 40%-22%, a CBS snap poll found undecided voters favored Obama: Forty percent of uncommitted voters who watched the debate tonight thought Barack […]
The debate goes on, with or without McCain: Barack Obama is committed to hosting a public, televised event Friday night in Mississippi even if John McCain does not show up, an official close to the Obama campaign tells the Huffington Post.
