This was after his big socialistic, Robin Hood “take from the rich and give to the poor” speech he gave this week: Obama’s approval rebound is due to increased support from all political groups, but especially from independents and Republicans, whose support had been waning. Over the past week, independents’ approval of Obama dropped from […]
For all those out there who I knew would be worried about the future of John McCain, fear no longer. We now have official confirmation that he is running for re-election in 2010: I want you to know that I do intend to seek re-election. The magnitude of the financial crisis that many American families […]
Break out the big font – here’s Drudge’s headline: ZOGBY: MCCAIN MOVES INTO LEAD 48-47 IN ONE DAY POLLING And then here is what he says about it: ZOGBY SATURDAY: Republican John McCain has pulled back within the margin of error… The three-day average holds steady, but McCain outpolled Obama 48% to 47% in Friday, […]
A new Reuters/C-Span/Zogby poll, which was released today, has some very good news in it: With less than two weeks before the November 4 election, Obama leads McCain 52 percent to 40 percent among likely voters in the latest three-day tracking poll, which had a margin of error of 2.9 points. The biggest part of […]
After watching John McCain try to calm down his crowds yesterday, I ended up having some reservations. I’m not saying McCain isn’t serious about what he is saying, but I am now wondering if he is in control of his campaign. His campaign aides were out just a couple hours before supporting the violent calls […]
No – not Palin’s speech last night, but rather the review of Palin’s speech by James Fallows. As I watched last night I really thought that she was doing a hell of a job at energizing the base, but the people she really need to connect to weren’t impressed. I find out I am not […]
In my earlier post, someone asked a very good question: I don’t really understand how it hurts the Democrats to not have a nominee yet? It shows how much the Democrats are involved in this election and wanting things to change. Let me take a moment to explain further why it’s harmful for Democrats to […]
When you follow Bush so closely, your country will kick you out of office: Kevin Rudd’s Labor Party won Australia’s election, ending John Howard’s 11-year rule after promising to tackle climate change, restore workers’ bargaining power and withdraw Australian troops from Iraq. Labor won 83 of the 150 seats in the House of Representatives, gaining […]
For years right wingers would taunt out the fact that Democrats were in the minority. That minority was very slim though. Both times Bush won the White House, it was so damn close. So these same wingnuts who so boldly reminded us of our minority status over the past several years now find themselves in […]
The key focus group of voters that politicians try to target is moving to the blue side of things: Independent voters overwhelmingly favor Democrats to take over the U.S. House of Representatives in the November 7 election and back them on major issues, a new Washington Post-ABC News poll said on Monday. The independents surveyed […]
