Finally, the do-nothing  Congress did something good by ….  doing nothing! Democrats have decided to allow a quarter-century ban on drilling for oil off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts to expire next week, conceding defeat in a months-long battle with the White House and Republicans set off by $4 a gallon gasoline prices this summer. House Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey, […]

Tony Blankely has a sadly true and powerful denunciation of the media has lapdog and Goebbels-like fictionizers for the Obama campaign. The mainstream media ruthlessly and endlessly repeat any McCain gaffes while ignoring Obama gaffes. You have to go to weird little Web sites to see all the stammering and stuttering that Obama needs before […]

The Washington Post/ABC News poll out showing Obama with a 9 point lead (52-43) illustrates my point about bad sampling techniques. There straight party sample breaks down 38% Dem, 28% Rep and 29% Ind. When Indies are asked which way they lean the sample goes 54% Dem, 38% Rep and 7% Ind. Is anyone surprised […]

Major Update: Here is the actual video evidence of the ‘speed dating’ sexist remark. And it is becoming the talking point I said it would be (here and here). – end update The Situation Room (the lair of “Wolf” Blitzer – how’s that for irony) has done it again. I am fairly certain it is simply […]

Here is an Obama event in deep blue Wisconsin where Obama attracted only 2/3rds the crowd McCain-Palin did a few days earlier.

OK, this would be a stretch and a shocker to the dems, but there seems to be some indications CA may fall into the battleground state category: But Republicans aren’t giving up on California. California Republican Party chief operating officer Bill Christiansen said some private polls put the two candidates within five points of each […]

Just to add fuel to the fire I wrote about this morning, there is a new poll out showing Obama is not gaining support among Clinton supporters – yet somehow he still leads in the national polls? Highly unlikely.

Been contemplating a post on polls and statistics for a few days now. The ebb and flow of the polls has me a bit perplexed. The national pattern is not synchronized with the state level polls.  Many key states are either in the “toss up” or very weak “lean” categories. normally blue states (e.g., PA, […]

It was the one of the most deplorable ads of the political season. It was the Obama campaign down in the sewer. Apparently the stench is so bad on this one Democrat VP candidate Joe Biden has chided the Obama Campaign (“I am Barack Obama, and I approved this ad”) and defended McCain on this […]
