It is now a foregone conclusion Micheal Steele should win the Senate race in MD now that many black democratic leaders from heavily black and democratic Prince George’s County have come out to openly support Steele: A coalition of black Democratic political leaders from Prince George’s County led by former county executive Wayne K.

Poll Bias In Turnout Modelling

I am surprised Michael Barone was not more forceful in his article today where he notes the polls we see are all way off from the make up of the country. Pew Research has been measuring the political affiliations of the country and it has seen about a 33-33-33 split (D-R-I) for the Bush years. […]

Democrats Spending Like Drunken Sailors

No insult intended on the brave men and women of our Navy from the title, but the old saying from history was all I could envision from the news the Democrats are spending their marginal remaining money in wasted efforts to decieve the media (easy – look who ran the stories) and therefore the country […]

Webb Implodes As He Runs As Journalist

What is as bad as politician telling you how you must live your life as they grab your income so they can give it to people who lived their lives in ways that led them to destitution and struggle? Having a journalist tell you how to live your life as they berate you for not […]

Democrats Facing Reality On 11/7

While Democrats want to rev up their base to motivate them to vote, reporting in the liberal media is dousing those efforts with some cold hard reality. The news that the scope of the playing field is much smaller than the 40-50 seat pick up the media went all goo-goo over last week is coming […]

Michael J Fox Helped Kill MO Constitutional Cloning Bill

Michael J Fox (and Rush Limbaugh) easily helped bring needed focus and clarity to the Bill in MO that is lying when it says it is about Stem Cell Research (embryonic or otherwise) when in fact it is trying to place the right to clone and kill into the State’s constitution. If it was not […]

Talent Holding In MO, Just Like 2004

In a poll out today Jim Talent is in the same position he was a year ago: After all their ads, attacks and debates, Missouri’s two major candidates for the U.S. Senate are heading into the campaign homestretch in roughly the same spot as they were almost a year ago — deadlocked. U.S. Sen. Jim […]

Where’s The Senate

A little over a week out let’s see where the Senate stands in terms of Democrat hopes they could gain control. Using the RCP race-by-race statistics, and applying the same 5% poll bias correction I did in the House Race analysis (explanation here), we see a picture slightly different from the one being trotted around […]

Where’s The House II

In a post last week I had reviewed the RCP top 27 House races and felt, at that time, Dems would pick up 6-9 seats. So where has the week since brought us? Let’s see. To see what is different this week, I am going to simply refer folks back to the original posts and […]

Media Credibility An Oxymoron

Jed Babbin is pondering what will be the effect on the media and political message-movers of the Democrat wave fails to appear. While I agree the 527 groups will see their funding dry up since they will have been (accurately) deemed failures, his contention that the anitque media will recover is completely wrong. The trend […]
