There is a silver lining to what happened today. Congress is in recess until Thursday, meaning they could pass something on Thursday, but that is not very likely. That means we got a debate Thursday night with Sarah Palin and Joe Biden and the economy will be brought up. Considering Palin’s dismal responses to Couric’s […]
The polls are starting to break more for Obama. Here is what we have so far today: Rasmussen: 36% say Obama won the debate, compared to 33% for McCain. Obama leading by 50%-44% in the daily tracker. Gallup: 46% say Obama won the debate, compared to 34% for McCain (this was a Gallup/USA Today poll) […]
A peek into a very dark and dismal future: Obama is still pulling ahead in the polls, but that lead does not have the comfortable factor that it should. We need to work harder to get people out to vote on Election Day so we don’t have to wake up to these headlines on November […]
And this focus group of undecided voters, split evenly on which way they voted in 2004, overwhelmingly said Obama moved them the most last night: This jives with all the polls that came out last night, showing Obama as the winner. The pundits are pretty much split on it, but their opinions don’t really much […]
It looks like Obama did. First a CNN phone poll concluded this: Who won… Obama 51%, McCain 38%. Who would better handle Iraq: Obama 52%, McCain 47%. Economy: Obama 58%, McCain 37%. By 40%-22%, a CBS snap poll found undecided voters favored Obama: Forty percent of uncommitted voters who watched the debate tonight thought Barack […]
Here we go – attack the newspaper. The McCain campaign has a post up calling the New York Times a “partisan paper of record”, as well as comparing it to the Huffington Post. Amazing that this is the only defense they have, while ignoring other outlets such as Newsweek is also reporting on the Davis/Freddie […]
More like this one please. Obama now leads McCain 52%-43% according to a new Washington Post-ABC News Poll. What I really like is the fact we are now getting into the “safer” polls (as I like to call them). I ignored the polls pretty much until this week. The main reason is that the campaigns […]
Kay Hagan, Dole’s Democratic Challenger, has finally jumped ahead in the race and now holds a six point lead over Dole. As recently as July, Dole had a double point lead. Hopefully this is a sign of better things to come in the polls.
Michael Crowley has some good advice, which I feel is right now. Obama does not need to get mad, despite how many popular bloggers on our side of the blogosphere are calling for rage. The calls from the blogosphere over the past few days for Obama to get mad about the McCain/Palin side show have […]
The new Republican strategy to prevent people from voting – foreclosures. The Michigan GOP plans to put their minders at polls in November to challenge people who may have been foreclosed on. Sounds like the GOPs master plan of disenfranchisement is coming to fruition.
