The 2008 Presidential contest between Senators Barack Obama and John McCain is officially, or as officially as a non scientific study can be, sitting amidst a virtual horse tie. Poll after poll shows this phenomena to be true, and one has to wonder why, with everything stacked in his favor, is Barack Obama unable to put any distance between him and his republican counterpart John McCain. We are going to look at the latest polls - both on a state by state basis, as well as a national perspective.

“Hillary’s Sh*tlist”: Analyzing the Clinton’s Latest Batch of Enemies
June 11, 2008
Marc Liebovich of The New York Times is reporting on quite an interesting scenario that involves the Clinton campaign, members of the mainstream media, documented “lists”, and a unwavering desire for revenge by any means necessary. Liebovich writes that the Clinton camp keeps a physical list (on paper, with names written, crossed out, highlighted, etc), comprised of media personalities who have - in their opinion - been loyal, and those who have not. Apparently this “list” is managed by Hillary’s senior level campaign staffer, Doug Band ‚Äî who ironically just had his name in the news, for he was the one referred to as Bill Clinton’s “butt boy” in Todd Purdum’s now infamous Vanity Fair article on the former President.

While exiting the stage he gave his wife Michelle a hug, and a “fist bump” which is the equivalent of a high five. Well FOX News is now suggesting that the “fist bump” was in fact a “terrorist fist jab” in arguably the single most ridiculous piece of reporting (if you can even call it that) I have ever seen.

Clintonite’s Turning Out to be McCain’s Biggest Supporters
May 31, 2008
This should come as no surprise, but it is becomming abundently clear that HIllary Clinton supporters are in fact shaping up too be Republican Presidential nominee John McCain’s biggest supporters, in both a “direct” and “indirect” fashion.¬†Today’s DNC Rules and Bulaws committee meeting has been the center of conversation¬†over the past couple of weeks, with a lot of talk revolving around whether or not the protests, mainly coming from Clinton supporters (with the class and dignity they have become known for), would be an angry mob of Clinton loving women, or a¬†fair mannered¬†show of support¬† by adament Democrats. Well, as we found out early and often, the Clinton supporters opted for the whole “devisive”, scortch the earth protest, which seems to¬†reflect Hillary¬†Clinton’s primary strategy.
