A new poll suggests nearly half of those surveyed are already tired of hearing about Barack Obama, with Election Day still three months away.

According to the poll by the nonpartisan Pew Research Center, 48
percent say they're hearing too much about Obama. Just 26 percent
say the same about John McCain.

Two-thirds of Republicans and about half of the independents
surveyed say they've heard too much about Obama, as have a third of
Democrats.

At the same time, nearly four in 10 say they've been hearing too
little about McCain -- about four times the number who say so about
Obama. About half of Republicans, four in 10 independents and even
a quarter of Democrats say they've not heard enough about McCain.

I am tired of Obama change rhetoric. The media is trying to chose our next president for us. I am not voting for Obama. McCain is a decent experienced politician who is not receiving his just deserts from the media. Hilary Clinton did not either. The media shoved her out of the way too. So Go McCain you have my vote!

Well I'm going to vote for Obama..though I do get tired of hearing about Obama from the Dem and the republicans..I wish the republicnas WOULD talk more about McCain because their only strategy seems to be to knock Obama down. That's not the kind of person I like to supprot...someone who is just going to try to knock another man down. He should be able to stand on his own without that...If he can't..well I think that says alot.
