Gallup: Obama Up By 4
Posted by admin
No change since Sunday, although both candidates lost a point as the ranks of the undecideds grow larger.
:
Gallup’s separate tracking of consumer confidence showed little change over the weekend, suggesting that Americans may be taking a breath after last week’s fast-paced barrage of news about Wall Street and the economy.
So while Obama may have an [...]
Say it aint so, Joe!

Ok, so Joe Biden believes it’s the patriotic duty for Americans making $250,000 to pay more in taxes (btw, if Joe thinks that $250k constitutes rich in the NYC or SF metro areas, he’s nuts). I didn’t think I’d see Obama-Biden play the “patriotism card” … but whatever.
But a quickie math/history/civics lesson for Joe, free of charge.

What Do Biden and Cheney Have in Common?
Posted by admin
For eight years, we’ve had a wise, Draconian VEEP who took Walter Mondale’s concept of expanding the office of the vice presidency and peppered his legacy with unprecedented powers that ranged as far and wide as the birdshot on Harry Whittington’s face. With his far-sweeping foreign policy arm and his aura of behind-the-scenes mystery, Papa [...]

Gallup’s previously predicted that McCain’s lead wouldn’t change much this month, but yesterday and today’s numbers put the lie to that. Obama’s is just two points away from his post convention high, and McCain is just a few points from his lowest low.

Separate Gallup tracking shows that [...]

Pakistani Troops Will Fire If U.S. Raids
Posted by admin
This is not good news…
Surprisingly enough, Obama has the right plan when it comes to Pakistan…
Sen. Barack Obama has, if anything, been the more militant of the two presidential candidates in stressing the danger here and the need to act without too much sentiment about our so-called Islamabad ally. He began using this [...]
Troopergate: No “there” there.
Posted by admin
As from the beginning of this nonsense.
:
“Sarah Palin issued a response to the Troopergate investigation yesterday by releasing internal memoranda that show Walt Monegan got fired for insubordination on budget matters and not because of his refusal to fire Palin’s former brother-in-law. Monegan went behind Palin’s back to attempt to revive a [...]
Gallup: McCain Up By 1
Posted by admin
The bounce is gone, and and Gallup are showing the exact same spread at this point.
It is unclear to what extent this week’s headline news about the collapse of Wall Street financial institutions and changes in the stock market will affect the race. Obama has generally held the advantage when Americans are asked which [...]
