Why doesn't Barach just listen to Virginia when she says "NO".

Even the redneck hillbillies here in southwest Va. are starting to wise up.

Obama signs are everywhere.


Ah! So THIS "Surge" IS working!

lipzoidial = prophet for the new millenium.

Time for the CIA to release a "new" Bin Laden tape to scare the sheep back into line.

Maybe even blow up a building or some military target.

I recall all the 'but, he can't win the big states' arguments.

Turns out he's doing just that at this point - plus marching forward in many of Bush's 2004 states too.

Virginia is for lovers.

"Time for the CIA to release a "new" Bin Laden tape to scare the sheep back into line."

Yeah, time to remind America of the utter failure of Bush in the war on terror along with the economy.
Hey, old John says he knows how to get Bin Laden....why is he keeping it a secret all this time????

On November 4, the Liberty University in Virginia will be closed so all staff and students can vote if they choose.

I don't want to be overconfident, but the map is brutal to McCain. He's losing in Florida, too, and Pennsylvania's out of reach.

On November 5th, the Liberty University in Virginia will announce that classes have been suspended indefinitely due to mass suicides of students and faculty. They'll have realized that their pipeline into the WH has been severed and the money train is off the tracks.

The White House will become a house of prayer.

"Poll: Obama Surging in Virginia"

And everywhere else except places like Utah, Alaska, Wyoming, Idaho and Oklahoma. I love 538.com. In a month's time we'll see how its methodology holds up but it seems pretty solidly based to me. Of course, I AM biased towards what it predicts. Just look at these polls and the inescapable conclusion to be drawn. There is STILL a month to go, of course. Shit might happen.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows Barack Obama attracting 52% of the vote while John McCain earns 44%.

www.rasmussenreports.com

Obama has benefited from the financial crisis. It would be the same if a Dem were president and we had a crisis like this, the Repub would benefit. McCain was holding his own until this thing melted down. People do not really care or want to take the time to understand all the things that came into play here. They just say things are not working, the buck stops at the president, let's get one from a different party.

The same thing will be true in 4 years. If the Dems own the Presidency and Congress and things have not turned around (or as I believe, the Dems make it worse). They will be voted out and the Repubs will take over.

Not your classic OBL, but this guy is trying hard.
He's the grandson of an ADL member. No connection there at all, I'm sure. heh

The timing of this is rather suspect.

each day Palin spouts hate, Obama's numbers go up, it appears Sarah is a great asset for Obama! I wonder if McCain has caught on yet?

I think tonight's debate is really one of the last chances for McCain. Recent polls have shown that everything is swinging in Obama's favor, and I don't think there's any doubt that the economy is playing a large role in this. Between Gramm's "nation of whiners" comment a few months ago and the fact that McCain himself has gone on record saying that he doesn't understand the economy, his campaign has dug its own grave. If they can't reassure voters that they are better poised to handle the economic crisis, I don't think he's got much of a chance at winning in November.

I'm not saying it's impossible for him to win, but he's definitely got his work cut out for him. He's supposed to perform very well in the town hall meetings, so that should help him considerably. The next few weeks are going to be interesting.

If they're going to release the fabled "Whitey Tape," they'd better do it soon.

That is to say, he's supposed to perform well at town hall meetings, which if I'm not mistaken is the format tonight's debate will be taking.

Mmmmmm aerial bacon......

Kinger,

The Whitey Tape is not likely to appear anytime soon. It seems that Jerome Corsi has gotten hisself detained in Kenya for not having a work visa.

"He's supposed to perform very well in the town hall meetings, so that should help him considerably."

Except that this won't be a 100% Republican audience. McAngry doesn't do too well when questioned by Democrats. I think he will have at least on moment of temper tantrum. I sincerely hope he doesn't blow a gasket.

"It seems that Jerome Corsi has gotten hisself detained in Kenya for not having a work visa."

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Danni,

I must admit to having gotten a "tingle down my leg" when I read it this morning.

"Poll: Obama Surging in Virginia"

And everywhere else except places like Utah, Alaska, Wyoming, Idaho and Oklahoma.

Your mention of Utah reminds me that Utah's senator Orrin Hatch said that the Biden/Palin debate would be a Dem setup... that the moderator was in the "tank" for Obama.

"It seems that Jerome Corsi has gotten hisself detained in Kenya for not having a work visa."

Great. I hadn't heard. Who's funding this guy to try and dig up dirt over there, some whacko, extremist rightwing multimillionaire, I bet? Getting those pesky details like work visas wrong is what they specialize in, so it's probably true.

In Central Virginia, home of the Confederate White House, the Museum of the Confederacy and Appomattox, Obama today leads by 8. In the Shenandoah, where John McCain led by 24 points one month ago, Obama and McCain today tie.

Wow. Having grown up in VA I never would have figured those 2 regions would be tied or in favor of Obama. That speaks volumes about how unappealing McCain is.

It's almost election time and I see on Fox news that they are reporting a US plane down in Iran. Hmmmmm. Somethings up with this "wag the dog" Bush administration. Keep your ears open for more........ Now the US says no plane is down. What gives?

More current reports peg it as an Hungarian plane.

I never would have figured those 2 regions would be tied or in favor of Obama

I think there may also be a reverse Palin effect happening in the South.

McCain and Schmidt were too clever by half.

Many Southern Christians are mainline Protestants who do not look kindly on Pentecostals.

My 80-year-old Mom, for instance.

Palin lost McCain her vote.

I don't believe these polls, especially VA and PA. I honestly believe there will be a "Bradley Effect" and Obama needs to be ahead by double digits in the polls to be comfortable. Of course, I could be terribly wrong and hope I am wrong.

Now the US says no plane is down. What gives?

Plane was Hungarian with no Americans on board.

maybe Amandapajamas knows how to wag the dog as well.

Those damn Northern Virginia Communists!

Time for the CIA to release a "new" Bin Laden tape to scare the sheep back into line.

I urge them to try. That ship has sailed. The American people will see that he is still a free man 7 years on, and that Bush never really tried to get him.


each day Palin spouts hate, Obama's numbers go up, it appears Sarah is a great asset for Obama! I wonder if McCain has caught on yet?

The GOP had their chance to define Obama negatively and they didn't do it. At this point 95% of voters have made up their mind and they've decided on Obama. Going to nuclear mudslinging at this point backfires, as people who've chosen Obama now see their team as being attacked, and they get defensive. It's too late.

And, when the media is asking if an attack is going to backfire, it already has.

QFT.

Yer way above the norm with THAT observation.

Good eye.

Be Well.

And let's get North Carolina, Indiana, plus just maybe West Virginia. i think that then I can relax and quit staffing that voter registration table. herm

HERM-
When polls are conducted, are you aware the polling firms alter the percentages of Dems/Reps in compiling their numbers? By increasing the percentage of Dem likely voters you'd naturally see a bump for Obama. Or vice versa.

Be somewhat wary of polling.

"Be somewhat wary of polling." I am, Ooey. The polls had it for the good guys in 2000 and 2004, but the bad guys owned the voting technology, and we got eight years of Bush. The Obama forces will need a cushion of about 100 electoral votes, or it will be stolen again. Luckily we have that hundred. herm

Obama surging? WHAT?

You mean Juan McCain's brother calling Virginia 'Commie Country' isn't swinging votes toward Juan?

Who'da thunk it?

Don't trust the liberal media. At least they are not hiding their bias anymore.

Buy low. Sell high.
