OK this is the biggest poll shocker I have seen since the Palin selection for VP: Since picking Sarah Palin as his running mate, John McCain has obliterated what had been a 34-percentage-point deficit in a poll of likely women voters on the question of which candidate has a “better understanding of women and what is important” to them. […]

Just got a call from LJStrata who just heard about Rangel’s comment that Governor Palin is ‘disabled‘. First off, LJStrata has a life, unlike me the political junky and blog-hog. She spends her time raising the kids, doing the company back room work, volunteering for the community, keeping the home together. She is actually an […]

To over use a Jeff Foxworthy phrase, but “I are one”. Too many urbanites think being out in the country is akin to being down a few IQ points. Funny thing is (especially here in the south) those country drawls you here are a great IQ filter in themselves. Anyone who thinks a slow southern […]

Reader BrownGreenGold found a great pic of the event: I cannot believe the numbers regarding a Palin event in Florida – they are just staggering: Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin told wildly cheering, flag-waving, chanting supporters that John McCain is “the only great man in this race” and promised Sunday he will fix the […]

Is Palin from small town America? Yes. Is she uneducated, blind to the larger world around her, unable to handle the give and take of politics? No. The jury is coming to a conclusion on Sarah Palin, but from what I can see from all those feathers she ‘ruffled’ in Alaska (e.g., the PSEA union […]

Updates below the fold – more from SBD Reader SBD, who is one of the best researchers I have seen, has pulled together an exhaustive history of events and reports surrounding Palin’s battles with Walt Monegan and is allies. It is a comment worthy of being a post all on its own, and is being […]

ABC News thinks they have found a smoking gun in the troopergate fiasco where Democrats are siding with a drunk trooper who tasered his step son and threatened to kill Governor Palin’s father. None of that matters to the Obamanation Media. Their evidence is a joke – made even more so by they leaps of […]

Updates Below – McCain ads Now we know why Obama wants to raise taxes – to bail out those jerks who tanked our mortgage markets and nearly sent us into a real depression. First off it is good to get a little history on what led to this mess. Michael Reagan does a good job of […]

The news the Hillary Clinton backer Lynn De Rothschild crossed over to McCain was big splashed across the media and really upset the pro-Obama CNN ‘news’ team. Donald Trump, another Clinton supporter, announced this week on Larry King he was also crossing over to McCain. I noted in a recent poll that McCain was attracting […]

I don’t like spin or sound bites. The first item is the act of presenting a misleading image of an issue by cherry-picking aspects to emphasize one view. Misleading through being incomplete. Sound bites are ways to hide key aspects in vaguery. Some sound bits summarize well, become a shorthand for a common understanding, and […]
