Zogby Shocker: McCain Ahead?
damnum absque injuria — Not according to their latest three-day poll, and a 1% lead is inside the margin of error anyway, but any way you slice it, a single day of McCain up 48-47 is a clearly positive sign for McCain. It sure would be a bummer if McCain ended up winning by a squeaker on Election Day but losing because of early voting.

Joe the Plumber may get his license after all.

The Tide Has Turned. Will The One Be Able To Walk On The Water?
The LLama Butchers — The Tide Has Turned. Will The One Be Able To Walk On The Water? I have no doubt that the momentum is swinging in the direction of Little Mac. The only question in my mind is whether it has turned in time and in sufficient force to wash The One away. In my humble opinion: Those who genuinely believe The One will provide the kind of leadership this country needs are honest fools. Those who support The One because they want to "get back" at eight years of Chimpy McHallinaziRovezombieShrubman are damned fools. Those who support The One because they think they've got a shot at ...

Barack Obama Cannot Close
The Wide Awake Cafe — Run away. Run away. Barack Obama cannot close. He never did actually beat Senator Hillary Clinton in the primaries. The Democrat super delegates abandoned her and went over to Obama. In the last days before the primaries in several states although his polls promised a lot, he just couldn’t quite seal the deal. Now McCain’s ahead of Obama according to the Friday Zogby one day poll. Perhaps that’s why Obama got so testy with the press last night when he was taking ...
