Predicting a McCain Win

It’s fun to read who people think will win.  The conventional wisdom is that we’ll wake up tomorrow and Sen. Obama will be victorious.  You read some places and they say that it’ll be close or a blowout. If you’re looking for encouragement in regards to Sen. McCain winning, here are a couple sites for [...]

Do You Believe This Poll?

According to John Zogby—the pollster who got the 2000 electoral contest closest—McCain has taken his first lead since the convention: "Is McCain making a move? The three-day average holds steady, but McCain outpolled Obama today, 48% to 47%. He is beginning to cut into Obama’s lead among independents, is now leading among blue collar voters, [...]

Standing strong on pro-life legislative efforts

There’s an argument going around that says that the pro-life cause is legislatively lost, whether it is McCain or Obama who wins the White House.  Dr. Albert Mohler writes about it here. The supporting logic continues to say that we should rather vote for the social policies of Barack Obama, because they will improve the [...]

Palin the Scapegoat?

I guess I still don’t get it.  Why is it that we’re still getting treated from stories, both in the MSM and from the McCain camp, that bill Gov. Palin as unqualified to take the Presidency, and we’re supposed to take that at face value when compared to the relative inexperience of Sen. Obama? Why [...]

Closing Arguments

Just one week before the election, and it’s wild what we find ourselves talking about: Obama Campaign We’re told by the MSM that Sen. Obama has shifted to making less partisan “closing arguments” (like the lawyer he is) to try to seal the deal and finish ahead. 

Dissention in the Ranks

Over the weekend we were treated to a storyline I saw coming—namely, the McCain camp setting up Gov. Palin to take the fall should their campaign fail to win the election. This wasn’t a hard shot to call—by no means—for from the moment that Sen. McCain won the nomination back in the spring we were [...]

The Last Stretch

It’s hard to believe that this election will—hopefully—be over next Tuesday.  With the primary season included it seems like it’s been a very long time that politics has been part of the national discourse. The news report I watched this morning said that Sen. McCain and Sen. Obama will be focusing on Ohio, Florida and [...]

UPDATED: The New Face of the Obama Campaign?

UPDATE: According to Police sources, the girl pictured in the post below has confessed to making up a story about a mugger that had attacked her and cut the letter B in her face after seeing her McCain bumper sticker. This is a hoax. This is as bad as the phony “Kill him” comments that [...]

Is McCain Headed For a Upset?

Some would say yes.  What I found interesting was some of the commentary from Michael Barone.  Specifically: And what about Barack Obama? In most of the presidential primaries, Sen. Obama received about the same percentage of the votes as he had in the most recent polls. The one notable exception was in New Hampshire, where [...]

What’s Up With the Polls?

Last night I opened up the Drudge Report to find a crazy big red headline: GALLUP SHOCK:  49 OBAMA, 47 MCCAIN WITH LIKELY VOTERS Now, Rush Limbaugh has been saying for quite some time that the polls would get closer near the end because the race really is closer, but it’s only near the end [...]

Jokes All Around

These dinners are always fun—and yet the problem that I have with them is the difficulty level to reconcile how these people appear in public together and how they appear when separated on the stump. It’s like mob morality takes over when you’re on the campaign trail, and that when you’re together your normal, good [...]

Busy Day

It’s been a pretty busy day, but here’s some articles that I’ve been reading, and feel free to discuss anything political. Joe The Plumber: Obama Tax Plan ‘Infuriates Me’ Dutch abortion ship sparks controversy in Spain Still to Come, the Third-Party Debate Obama Hasn’t Closed the Sale Rivals Split, With Joe in the Middle Your [...]

What did you think of the third presidential debate?

Since I find myself so frustrated with the one-sided reporting, and find the polls on the debates to be incredibly skewed to the tenor of the website, I’d like to discuss perceptions of the third presidential debate. What did you think?  Go on, feel free to tell me what you really thought. 

An Angry Mob?

Is it enthusiasm, or is it an angry mob.  If you just listen to the press, you’ll get the answer that hurts the McCain campaign the most.

What Sacrifice?

On Tuesday night, Tom Brokaw asked a question that I immediately wished I was there to answer instead of either of the candidates.  No, it wasn’t the question of what I didn’t know—for that I think I would have gone into full Donald Rumsfeld mode and waxed eloquent about what we know, what we don’t [...]
