THE POLL: Denver Post poll, the presidential race among likely voters in Colorado (9 electoral votes).

THE NUMBERS: Barack Obama 49 percent, John McCain 44 percent.

OF INTEREST: Unaffiliated voters — who make up more than one-third of the electorate — back Obama 57 percent to 32 percent in a state that has voted for a Democratic presidential candidate only once in 40 years. Four percent of all polled were still undecided; 3 percent favored another candidate.

THE DETAILS: Conducted by telephone Oct. 28-29 by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research, Inc. among 625 voters plus an additional 200 unaffiliated voters. Margin of sampling error plus or minus 4 percentage points.

Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

I can honestly say I would feel safer with Jimmy Carter taking the reigns of this country again rather than this inept bumbling idiot -OBAMA-. Without a teleprompter this guy makes Bush look like Orsen Wells.

And Yes, I would venture to say Mr. Bush (who it always comes back to with you MOON BATS), certainly scored higher on his SAT's and got a better GPA in either Yale or Harvard than Mr. Obama, but you will never admit that will you. President Bush released his GPA and SATs and thesis, where is Mr. OBAMA's again. Oh yeah, thats right.

Have fun on the unemployment line, I hope you guys have someone to take care of you in your family atleast better than Barry takes care of his.

But he is there for the little guy.
