We’re only about 48 hours away from the first polls closing, so the final public opinion polls are rolling in and making news. At the start of the weekend, a one-day Zogby survey suggested McCain has surged significantly and was gaining ground fast. But further Zogby polling is not panning out as well. Most [...]

1. November 2008

38 Comments

The media has called this election for Barack Obama already, but voters may not be playing along. A surprising new poll out today shows John McCain making a slow but steady comeback in the final days. The wind is definitely at McCain’s back. Yesterday’s sampling for the 3-day Zogby tracking poll showed a single [...]

John McCain is a terrible frontrunner

22. October 2008

The most recent RCP average shows Barack Obama ahead of McCain by around 7% in the last month heading up to the election.  These last few weeks are very critical; historically, voters have already made up their minds. Obama has leads in swing states such as Florida, Ohio and Nevada by about 2-4%.  Both candidates are [...]

The ACORN voter registration scandal has been getting at least some mainstream media attention, but I think there’s actually much more to this story. The Obama campaign’s ties to this group and its leaders needs to be fully explored and understood. Of course Democrats and Obama staffers are rushing to pour water all [...]

Irrational anti-Obama anger may backfire with undecideds

11. October 2008

16 Comments

As the media has been all too happy to report lately, a few people at McCain rallies have been exhibiting nasty characteristics - calling Obama all manner of names, which aren’t necessarily supported by reality.

Saturday morning’s General Session at the Defending the American Dream Summit

11. October 2008

The ballroom used for last night’s dinner has been converted into what looks like a political party convention floor. Tables with signs that indicate each state’s delegation.
