Newsweek as demonstrated why not all polls are created equal. After weeks of watching the Gallup and Rasmussen Daily tracking polls at RCP we discover that Obama has had a dead-cat bounce in the polls. His lead rose to 7-8 points for a few days, and then fell back down to 2-5 points. But Newsweek […]

Who is Barack Obama?  What does this cypher of a candidate stand for?  He seems to be an endless sequence of popular and conflicting platitudes upon which people project their deepest desires.  As I noted in a previous post that discussed Obama’s amazingly precise, manufactured vagueness – Obama is much like the fictional Mirror of Erised […]

David Brooks has a harsh, but interesting piece out today on the enigma that is Barack Obama: God, Republicans are saps. They think that they’re running against some academic liberal who wouldn’t wear flag pins on his lapel, whose wife isn’t proud of America and who went to some liberationist church where the pastor damned […]

Major Update:  In the Year of The Democrat, Obama is not doing as well with Democrats as McCain is among Republicans: There is a remarkable consistency across all these polls, one that helps us draw certain boundaries around the electorate. There will always be variation, either random or events-driven, but the rough plot lines of […]

I feel for Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, he looks to be a nice family person and has had a skyrocketing career. But he is the wrong candidate for the VP slot on McCain’s ticket. Gingrich is out pushing Jindal for VP: Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) said Sunday that Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal “would […]

Boy, could I get behind a McCain-Giuliani ticket! That would really put New York and California in play. I will note the David Frum piece linked to does not once suggest picking Rudy – but someone has it in mind and I like it. In fact, knowing Frum is a far right ‘true’ conservative, I […]

The Honeymoon is over for Barack Obama, who is sliding badly in the Gallup daily tracking poll (click image to see original post): Maybe these sliding polls explain Obama’s lame effort at machismo and his desire to get a gun and start a fight with McCain. All the hallmarks of a desperate man on the […]

I will tell you what, there are some amazingly pissed off Hillary supporters out there, because one of them (HillBuzz) has really stuck the knife into the Obama Campaign (sometimes you have to know what to do with the gun when you bring it to a fight Obama).  Hillbuzz has the link to a post where […]

A woman Democrat party delegate from Wisconsin has publicly announced she cannot stomach an Obama presidency and therefore will vote for John McCain this fall: As an avid supporter of Hillary Rodham Clinton in the Democratic primaries, Debra Bartoshevich is not alone in her frustration over Clinton’s defeat. She’s not alone in refusing to support […]

  Obama is green and naive. Has never had to actually run a competitive race. When he won his state senate seat he knee-capped a respected liberal woman icon and had all other contenders tossed off the ballot. Obama ran unopposed. When he won his US Senate seat partisan judges went and opened up the […]
