Right Wing All Stars Declare That the Presidential Race is Tied: Not So Much
July 17, 2008
Don’t ask me why – cause I don’t even know, but from time to time I check up on the happenings spewing from the mouths of ingrates like Hannity, Limbaugh, Dick Morris (always good for a laugh), as well as the rest of America’s “most obnoxious”. I found myself scouring through some transcripts earlier after I read a piece by the “3 way calling bandit” himself, Dick Morris. Needless to say it led to something a bit larger – an overriding theme of sorts.
Oh, I Get It… Now It’s Funny… Kinda… Nah, Not Really
July 17, 2008
“Turns out New Yorker Editor Supremo David Remnick was just kidding with last week’s apparently racist – classist-sexist- ethnically – and – religiously – biased cover. It was all just a set-up, said the legendary political satirist, to what we at the New Yorker really think of the great Senator from Illinois.”
Court Decides that Undergrads Death Caused by Fraternity Hazing
July 16, 2008
An ugly, and tragic situation has finally been settled – in court at least. Here’s another story, one which happens all to often, that has a college kid drinking too much. This time the tragedy struck a fraternity on the University of Texas.
Kos v. Ford: The “DLC vs. the Netroots” Debate
July 16, 2008
I know I am behind the fray on this one, and there is a good chance you have seen the Harold Ford/ Markos Moulitsas debate, which captures the contrast between the “DLC vs. the Netroots”. The setting “Meet the Press” which was hosted by MSNBC’s David Gregory (at the time Tim Russert was still the shows regular host) – and certainly served as both an entertaining and substantive political joust. I am attempting to set the mood for round 2 of the “Kos vs. Ford” debate which is scheduled to take place in Austin, Texas on July 17th, as part of the “Netroots Nation” convention.
Polls, Polls, Polls: A Look at the Newest Nationwide & Specific State Numbers
July 16, 2008
Keeping with tradition, it’s now time for the weekly poll roundup. We will be looking at a couple national polls released over the past couple of days as well as a handful of state by state numbers. It appears as though the race is tightening up a bit, which is not unexpected at this juncture in the contest. In the past we have seen the polls somewhat even out (at least to some extent) prior to the national conventions.
John & Cindy McCaub Flex Their Mainstream Media ‘Flak Jacket’ Yet Again
July 16, 2008
As the current Presidential election continues to play out throughout the dog days of summer, John McCain has yet to disappoint in regards to his steady stream of gaffes, flip-flops and stories of a raging temper with a lovely streak of sexism to boot. Then there is his wife, Cindy who has had quite the “eventful” past herself. From marrying John while he was still legally wed to his then current wife, to her chronicled addiction to drugs McCain’s ’sugar mama’ is far from the angel the media portrays her as. This really isn’t surprising seeing as though they seem to enjoy expending all their bitter, personal, and speculative attacks on Michelle Obama.
New Quinnipiac Shows Obama Leading McCain 49-41 Nationally
July 15, 2008
A brand new Quinnipiac Poll (literally. It was released a couple minutes ago) shows Barack Obama holding a 50% – 41% lead over his Republican counterpart John McCain. This according to a nationwide poll of likely voters which was comprised over a three day span, July 10th through 13th. The internals of this poll however are almost, if not altogether, more intriguing then the actual surface number, which has Obama up by 9 points.
Phew! The U.S. “Terrorist Watch List” Surpasses the 1 Million Mark: I Finally Feel Safe…
July 14, 2008
Don’t look know but the United States “terrorist” watch list has surpassed the one million mark. The idea behind the whole “terrorist watch list” is put together by the Terrorist Screening Center (TSC), which was born out of the Homeland Security Presidential Directive 6 back in December of 2003. The most recent audit released by TSC officials shows that the “terrorist watch list” has been growing steadily at about 20,000 plus new names added per month – an extreme growth rate by any standard.
Is Colorado the New Ohio? How the Rocky Mountain Swing State Could Decide the Election
July 14, 2008
There has been a lot of talk regarding the electoral map “swing states” as of late. A particular focus has been put on Ohio, Michigan, Florida, Pennsylvania and Missouri all states where the current polls are close, but reflect similar numbers at this time back in 2000 and 2004. That is why electoral experts have begun to believe that Colorado will ultimately decide the 2008 election – and this is not an assertion that should be taken lightly either. Those arguing that Colorado is very likely in deciding the ‘08 election have quite a compelling argument on their side – one that makes more and more sense as each day passes, and state polls are released.
