So I was reading this over at Power Line: Whenever President Bush talked about immigration, his approval ratings went down. It was like clockwork: liberals never understood that the fatal decline in Bush’s popularity during his second term had at least as much to do with his advocacy of “comprehensive immigration reform” as with war-weariness. […]
Obama’s announcement yesterday of opening offshore drilling was met with strong opposition, and not just from the left, but even the right. But what if there is something more sinister at work here? Chances are that Congress won’t go for the plan, so there really is no chance of it surviving without Republican support, yet […]
Nothing gets to me more than hearing Republicans talk about Obama and how he is anti-Israel. Of course these Republicans aren’t Jewish, but if you don’t listen to them then you don’t know what you are talking about. Well it seems like Israel is speaking out and showing that the Republicans are just flat out […]
There has been a lot of polls come out over the past 48 hours showing the Massachusetts special election for Kennedy’s seat was turning a tide and heading towards a possible defeat for Democrats. Now there is a new poll that may give Democrats some breathing room: A new Boston Globe poll shows Martha Coakley […]
Another great quote and something a lot of us on the left have been saying all along: “It’s time for the president to get his hands dirty,” Representative Anthony Weiner, Democrat of New York, said in a statement this week. “Some of us have compromised our compromised compromise.

For close to a quarter of a century I have been a smoker. I average about a pack and a half a day. During this time I have tried everything. The patches didn’t do a thing. The gum and lozenges never worked. I even tried Chantix, the “stop smoking” pill twice and had no luck. […]
That’s what the WSJ is trying to push: It is simply wrong for commentators to continue to focus on President Barack Obama’s high levels of popularity, and to conclude that these are indicative of high levels of public confidence in the work of his administration. Indeed, a detailed look at recent survey data shows that […]
Are polls off due to the increased popularity in people having cell phones only? This is interesting, and the younger generation seem more into the cell-phone only way of living now. This is Obama’s key demographic also. Perhaps the pollsters need to reevaluate their way of polling. I guess they couldn’t run a poll asking […]
Florida Governor Charlie Crist is going to announce his endorsement of John McCain. Considering Crist’s popularity in Florida this will be a big boost for McCain going into the primary this week.
