good news / bad news

So the AP (finally) has proved once and for all that Barack's birth certificate is real, wow what a surprise

This story though, is rather unexpected, a long lost Aunt, whose also supposedly illegal in the country. First brought up in a British paper (Murdoch owned for conspiracy people), and now this story.

Oh well , back to the whisky bottle , and hope Tuesday rolls around soon....

It would be crushing to see hope brought down by the republican shameful tactic of fear.

Barack's different than you, you can't vote for him...

hopefully this tactic does not work this time, it has to change, each election cannot be swung by fear, and praying on simple scare issues.

UPDATE - A excellent analysis, on how the Obama's long lost Aunt story started and then revolved around the world

When even Fox News cringes

So the McCain camp have Joe the Plumber running foreign policy analysis now?

Really is that what we have come to? ... Joe the Plumber thinks that Obama will be the death for Israel, because of what? ... well Joe has a feeling ...

Sheppard Smith looks blown away at the stupidity of this man, or maybe the stupidity of the McCain/Palin campaign

I mean really? this guy is the best guy they have to stump for them on Fox News

This is a case of last person leaving the room please turn the light off, and the only people left is the McCain's, the Palin's, and Joe the Plumber

8 days a Week

8 days to go, and a shock that's is going to rock the boat, The Financial Times endorses Obama,

I'm sure that will pick up votes in southern Indiana, but scoff not it is still a important endorsement, and rumours abound that the economist magazine is next

But a more interesting report come from the The Times of London, The McCain campaign hiring mercenaries to work his ground game

Shows the amazing design and forefront of the Obama campaign on how they organised and planned for this election

The country has seen some wild and crazy new stories this election cycle, but this one must this the most bizarre one of them all...

according to Fox News VP now the race is "really" over

Is this trying to help a candidate by faking racism? is this where the country is? or what McCain supporters feel they need to do to win? ...

Not a good example of the republican base..

and now "Joe the plumber" is on Fox News as a expert on the economy.

How can one network shoot so low?

Scott McClellan

More republicans jumping on the Obama bandwagon...


Whose next, Barney the White House dog?

New Polls - Run as fast as you can

So new poll numbers out today make for interesting reading, amazing out much time is now spent looking and analyzing these numbers.

Yet three polls stand out

Montana which has Obama up 44 -40, Is this a new shift that mirrors the new swing in North Dakota?

and Indiana which has this startling poll, and this one which seems more likely.

First off let's throw out the +10, Obama winning Indiana by 10 I think is a big in the flights of fantasy. The +2 seems more likely, but at least puts the state in a toss up.

Obama's strong showing in the primary should not be discounted here, there is a big media buy for the Chicago and Indianapolis market that seem to be helping.

Maybe a trip to Evansville, IN might help the numbers swing left? ...

But yet Democrats should be amazed that numbers like the +10 in Indiana are even polled in the first place.
