Democrats Stare Into The Abyss…

Generic polls are, of course, of limited importance, but together with other data the evidence […]

Now We Know Why Gallup Dumped CNN

Ever since Gallup polls dumped CNN, the CNN polls have been crude, amatuerish efforts. Today’s poll shows Dems leading Reps 58-38, nearly 2-1. So why is Steele dogging Cardin if this poll is true? Why is Menendez in the fight for his life? MD and NJ are deep, deep blue states and if there was […]

Still Impeachment Vs War On Terror

This election still boils down to whether we want to spend the next two years in congressional investigations and impeachment hearings (even as a PR campaign for ’08) or whether we will keep our eyes and ears on our enemy and focus on the War on Terror? The Democrats have never once believed terrorism is […]
