O-Force One (CBS News)
Barack Obama's new campaign plane is nothing short of grand. Well, for the candidate that is. Obama's section of the plane rivals that of any first class. Recently the front cabin of the Boeing 757 was retrofitted to install four individual chairs that resemble La-Z-Boys. They are free-standing and made of plush leather with pockets on the sides. There is also a booth which seats four for a meeting or a meal. His chair has his name and campaign logo embroidered on the back top -- "Obama '08" on one line and "President" underneath.

Daily Presidential Tracking Poll Monday, August 04, 2008
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows the race for the White House is tied with Barack Obama and John McCain each attracting 44% of the vote. [Emphasis added.] However, when "leaners" are included, it's McCain 47% and Obama 46%. This is the first time McCain has enjoyed even a statistically insignificant advantage of any sort since Obama clinched the Democratic nomination on June 3... Sixty-nine percent (69%) of voters have seen or heard news coverage of McCain's ad including Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. Just 22% believe the ad was racist. But, most say Obama's comment about not looking like other Presidents on the dollar bill was racist.
Poll: Obama losing support in key groups (Hot off the Trail, McClatchy)
Barack Obama has lost ground among some of his strongest bases of support, including young people, women, Democrats and independents, accoridng to a new ATV/Zogby poll. The Illinois Democrat has also lost some support among African-Americans and Hispanics, where his lead over Republican John McCain has shrunk, and among Catholics, where he's lost his lead... Zogby called the results a "notable turnaround" from a July survey he did that showed Obama leading by 46-36.
And Zogby is in the tank for Obama, did his best to help him with fake numbers during the primary, so this is serious coming from him.-Caro

"Always aim high, work hard, and care deeply about what you believe in. When you stumble, keep faith. When you?re knocked down, get right back up. And NEVER listen to anyone who says you can't or shouldn't go on."
