Polls Still Show a Dead Heat
JammieWearingFool — ... the nonstop fawning coverage he's received, how is it Obama isn't 10 points ahead? An interesting note from Rasmussen: Forty-six percent (46%) of voters now believe Obama is likely to win the White House in November. That’s down from 54% in June but little changed from a month ago. Twenty-eight percent (28%) expect McCain to win and 22% say it’s too close to call. Nine percent (9%) expect an Obama landslide victory while 4% say McCain will win big. Of course, Obama has declared he'll win and that could backfire. Some people just love sticking it to the arrogant. As for the ...

"They've got a whole machinery that they're cranking out"
Classical Values — "They've got a whole machinery that they're cranking out" Barack Obama is doing his best to link John McCain to a vaguely labeled "machinery," and he just can't stop talking about a certain "book." Better worry, because things could get ugly: Things could get ugly in the coming weeks, he warned. "They've got a whole machinery that they're cranking out," Obama continued. "They've got a book about me, that just kind of sprung full bore out of this guy's head." "John McCain, all he wants to do is talk about me. They know they can't win on the issues. So what they'll do is they'll ...

Don t worry about that, and then he said this: It would be nice to think that after eight years of economic disaster, after eight years of bungled foreign policy, of being engaged in a war that should never have been authorized and should never have been waged, that cost us a trillion dollars and thousands of lives, that people would say, ...

Riehl World View — ... This quote from Nancy Pelosi isn't going to help Obama much.

There are many men who do not profess any such idea, or who do not do so with the demanded zeal, and who therefore make a most fitting object for hatred. Ever hear of "juror" nullification? This guy was too smart to be on a jury. Acid-burned Moslem women find new career. Obama flat-out lied about abortion. To a pastor. More proof here. Related: Pelosi claims God blessed us with Obama. That is sick, sick, sick. Ralated: WaPo admits ...

Testing, Testing - Barack Obama
Riehl World View — ... sound more like someone fighting for his seat on the streets of Chicago's South Ward, than someone running for national office. I imagine it's a style the Harvard grad developed to win and work the community back in Chicago. Still, they aren't the elevated tones Obama gets from a teleprompter - the ones upon which his image depend. "He can talk all he wants about Britney (Spears) and Paris (Hilton), but I don't have time for that mess," Obama continued These are the knuckleheads who have been in charge. Throw ‘em out. ...

Fineman Justifies Link Between Obama and Lincoln, Disproves It, Restates It

By virtue of his own DNA?  Is this intended to imply that Obama's skin color makes him ‘the rightful heir to Lincoln's vision and hope?'  Or, perhaps that statement is making reference to the fact that some liberals believe Obama is the chosen one.  His DNA has been a gift that God has blessed us with at this time, to guide our country and ‘unite a "house divided" in our perilous times,' as Fineman puts it. ...

Cap Taxes, Trade Congress
American Thinker — While we, in the other America, use reason to guide our decisions, Nancy Pelosi actually seems to think she's the reincarnation of some pagan goddess on a mission to save the planet. She's in the service of a president she says was sent to us at this time by God, a god who she apparently likens to Zeus. If she were referring to the real, one, eternal, all-powerful God, she would know that stealing the liberties of Americans under utterly false pretences are two of the real God's Big No-nos, and would have enough fear and trembling to stay clear of this pure abomination: ...
