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 I mention in the post to follow.

I’ll leave the post up so that the comments make sense, but the image that follows and the original report were based on false information.

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.

On first glace this may give Republicans cause for concern—except if you realize that if a person only has 48% of the vote, and that’s all he’s going to get, then you’re candidate is going to win.

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 that pollsters actually want to be closest to being right—because they want business.

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 graces prevail.

What did you think of the third presidential debate?

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.
