I have thankfully been way too busy to delve into politics of late.  But that changes tonight as I dial into the GOP convention speeches.  If I can stand it long enough…. What I need to hear this week from the GOP is how they plan to forgo any social issue (i.e., use the power [...]

Sarah Palin confirmed in Georgia she was no albatross in the 2008 Presidential election.  For if she were one, there would not have been such a huge win for GOP Senator Chambliss there yesterday in the runoff for the US Senate. Sen. Saxby Chambliss trounced Democrat Jim Martin Tuesday night, winning his second term by a [...]

VA is being called for Obama (and so soon will be Florida). Tomorrow I will look at the final number, but what I see tonight is a much tighter national race than many polls predicted, but more accurate state polls. In any event, welcome President-elect Obama. Do well for America these coming four years – [...]

PA too close to call – McCain is very much alive. What worries me is FL and IN. Would like to see those go McCain. Update: Some networks called PA based on exit polls alone – but Fox News notes there are ZERO election results to make any assessment. It is now up to our [...]

So far Obama only has won VT and McCain has won KY and WV. Amazingly a lot of states are just too close to call, including VA, NC, SC, NC, GA, OH, and IN. Well, we know Obama is not ahead +15% as the lopsided national polls claimed. What we have here are conflicts between [...]

We are seeing conflicting numbers in exit polls data and The Fox News Panel was a little too positive about an Obama win for me to now feel confident. To save us all headaches I am going to sit back and watch for a while as the real data starts coming in from VA. As Geraghty [...]

Update: (sorry folks, starting to put the latest at the top and not the bottom after the ‘Major Update’). Panic in MN for Obama, this could be a night for the history books. Major Update: If these are the pro-Obama exit polls it will be an EXCELLENT night for McCain. Obama +4% PA, +2% VA, [...]

  Get Out And Vote! Update: When you read the link below (here again) I want folks to notice how Obama and the liberal dems actually increased the conservative intensity across many instances of insulting and demeaning the very voters they needed to sit home, not ‘walk across broken glass’ to vote: In 2008, there [...]

I cannot believe I am reading this in America: GOP Election Board members have been tossed out of polling stations in more than half a dozen polling stations in Philadelphia because of their party status. A liberal judge previously ruled that court-appointed Republican poll watchers could be removed from their boards by an on-site election [...]

At RCP the state polls are definitely showing a last minute surge to McCain. The country is going gray as more and more states head to the toss-up category – too close to call. Some folks just don’t want to admit this is happening, but it is and in  some surprising states. But I count [...]

Will historians look back on this election on ponder exactly what was it that pushed a centrist like McCain into the White House over liberal Obama? If so they may find this little ditty emblematic of where Obama stumbled (H/T Powerline). And while listening to this note that McCain’s internal polls indicate he will win [...]

Just a little over a day before election day and Obama is fading fast in key battleground states and in the EC projections. A month ago Obama was projected to have a 330-175 Electoral College blow out. But now he has seen once strong battleground states drop into ties this weekend. Take VA, which is [...]

Another 2 point lead for Obama in a national poll which translates into the race being all tied up, and by the most accurate polling firm from 2004: The race tightened again Sunday as independents who’d been leaning to Obama shifted to McCain to leave that key group a toss-up. McCain also pulled even in the [...]

Is McCain heading towards a landslide? Is Obama going to lose New Jersey and California? Well if you believe this audio then this is what internal GOP polls are saying. A blogger pulled out the salient numbers: New Jersey: McCain leads 48 to 43, with 7% undecided. Michigan: McCain leads 44 to 42, with 10% [...]

A lot of people claim there is no last minute surge for McCain – yet we see Obama slipping in PA, VA and now Ohio – with a poll showing McCain in the lead by 2%. Those who claim not to see a surge away from Obama in these final days must be looking the [...]
