SNL nails Keith Olbermann’s ‘Countdown’

Another day, another close poll

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 [...]

Zogby: McCain inching into lead

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 [...]

The ACORN doesn’t fall far from the Obama tree…

He said it, not me…

John McCain is a terrible frontrunner

There is this almost universal feeling of despair among Republicans that I’ve talked to lately. That they’ve basically accepted the polls and given up on the idea of a McCain victory in two weeks. Obama is too far ahead, he has too much money, and the media is all stacked firmly in his [...]

Obama has leads in swing states such as Florida, Ohio and Nevada by about 2-4%.  Both candidates are [...]

What happens when ACORN really breaks?

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

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. All week, supporters of the GOP ticket have yelled ugly accusations about Obama as McCain and running mate Gov. Sarah Palin [...]

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

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. It makes one wonder if this organization exists to lay the framework for some future ‘Prosperity Party’ or other more directly electoral evolution. They’ve got a live feed going [...]
