Sometimes people get too focused on the gap between two candidates and forget to pay attention to the actual levels. For example, an incumbent who is polling around 45-46% is more than likely to lose the election since undecided voters late in the race tend to go to the challenger. This is especially true for [...]

LJStrata and I are very upset with the US Military right now. Our son is deployed and has been trying for weeks to get his absentee ballot and get it mailed. He was told today he is too late, the deadline was two weeks ago. This is a total crock. These men and women are [...]

The nation is hurting. It is fed up with the condescending failures in DC. It is sick and tired of promises never kept, but the DC connected being the only ones not hurting after their social experiment with mortgages blew up in all our faces. Very few people think the Bush tax cuts caused the [...]

Final Update: My first observation is still the most important. When Biden contradicted the State Dept and the intelligence community on how Libya asked for more security we have the perfect campaign ad. All you do is run the heritage ad and this race is over. Hot Air has one word for VP Biden – [...]

After 4 years of failing to ignite the job market through government trickle-down priming – which did keep government workers, union members and green energy flim-flam artists employed – the President has now dedicated all his energy on one key job. Apparently his entire campaign is now not just about saving his own job, but [...]

Oh boy, put the liberals on suicide watch because this news is going to flip them out: The candidates for President are Democrat Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney. If the election was today, who would you vote for?Obama 47 (49) Romney 49 (45) That’s a pretty disastrous six-point net swing in just a week, [...]

Update: Andrew Sullivan’s expression of shock tells me the current poll reversal has to be more than just a good/poor debate performance: Seriously: has that kind of swing ever happened this late in a campaign? Has any candidate lost 18 points among women voters in one night ever? And we are told that when Obama [...]

There are reasons things go viral -  sometimes they are universally recognized as AWESOME!

Update: Ed Morrissey has some similar observations over at Hot Air. Ed catches something important that I missed: That’s even more true when one takes into consideration the sample breakdown in this poll.  It has a D/R/I of 38/30/32, for a D+8.  That’s more Democratic than 2008?s D+7, which took place in a cycle with [...]

I believe the moment the President’s trust and support from the American people snapped was actually before the debate debacle. The debate just cemented the verdict on this President. My view, which I have meant to post for some time – but seemed so obvious to be unworthy, was the October Surprise that nails one [...]

Hat tip to Jeff Condon at Air Vent (glad to see him posting again): Funny, but pathetically sad all at the same time. Pass it along folks – and get this doctor into the US Senate ASAP. BTW, I did not know the US Surgeon General was the poster child for Michelle’s school lunch program.

Update: Hmmm, This is interesting: The first post-presidential debate poll in critical Ohio shows that Mitt Romney blunted President Obama’s momentum with his winning performance and is now leading the president among Ohioans who say that they are “certain” to vote. Overall, the race is deadlocked with Obama over Romney 50 percent to 49 percent, [...]

Romney just won the Tea Party/Libertarian vote. EVERY damn program should be re-validated. Every damn one. And the question must be, is this program so important that we need to borrow money from China AND burden the next THREE generations with the the IOU to keep a program alive. This test does what we need: [...]
