McCAIN HEADED FOR LANDSLIDE VICTORY

Is McCain heading towards a landslide? Is Obama going to lose New Jersey and California?

Well if you believe this audio then this is what internal GOP polls are saying. A blogger pulled out the salient numbers:

• New Jersey: McCain leads 48 to 43, with 7% undecided.
• Michigan: McCain leads 44 to 42, with 10% undecided.
• California: Obama leads 44 to 43, with 9/% undecided, 3% for Barr.
• Pennsylvania: McCain leads 55 to 33, with 10% undecided. In Pennsylvania Obama only leads among Democrats by 47 to 37, with 14% undecided.

See video of a 9-year-old Chapel Hill boy being shocked by a campaign sign wired to an electrical current. The video was captured by a remote camera mounted by homeowner Shawn Turschak, who wired the sign after repeated vandalism of signs. Video provided by Shawn Turschak.

INTERESTING AND FRANK COMMENTARY ON ALL THIS POLL BUSINESS

This is from the Strata-Sphere. Commentary from one of his readers:

I was having dinner a night ago with a friend of mine who is a statistician for a well-regarded private polling company. They do some work for Republicans in California, but most of the work they do is for Democrats or Democrat-leaning operations (Unions, etc.). Anyway, her shop was retained to do a few Presidential polls for targetted states on behalf of a union so the union could decide where to spend their ad dollars for the last week. They did Ohio, Florida, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada and Missouri. After mocking the hell out of the voter id spreads used by Rassmussen, Zogby, etc. (and this is coming from a committed Dem who will be voting for Barry O) she said the results of their polling lead her to believe that McCain will definitely win FL, OH, NC, MO and NV. She says Obama definitely wins New Mexico. She said that Colorado and New Hampshire were absolute dead heats. She said she thinks there is a 55% chance Obama holds on in Pennsylvania and a 75% chance McCain wins Virginia. She absolutely laughed at the public polls showing Obama leading Virginia–and pointed out that all of those polls rely on Dem turnout being +4 and as much as +7, when in 2006, Republicans actually had the advantage by +3. She also pointed out that the numbers for Obama in SWVA look absolutely awful and that McCain is running 10 points better then Allen did in NoVa.

Anyway, her companies conclusion is that the election will come down to Colorado, New Hampshire and the Republican leaning district in Maine, which in her opinion might very well decide the Presidency (apparently the district in Nebraska that Obama thought he might be able to get is now off the table). She said she has very little doubt that the public polling is part of a “concerted voter suppression effort” by the MSM. She said IBD/TIPP was the only outfit doing public polling that was “worth a bucket of warm piss”.

IBD POLL HAS McCAIN WITHIN ONE POINT

Before you scoff at this poll, know that it was the most accurate poll in the last presidential election:

McCain has cut into Obama's lead for a second day and is now just 1.1 points behind. The spread was 3.7 Wednesday and 6.0 Tuesday. The Republican is making headway with middle- and working- class voters, and has surged 10 points in two days among those earning between $30,000 and $75,000. He has also gone from an 11-point deficit to a 9-point lead among Catholics.

About IBD/TIPP: An analysis of Final Certified Results for the 2004 election showed IBD's polling partner, TIPP, was the most accurate pollster of the campaign season.

POLITICAL BRILLIANCE: IN MAINE OF ALL PLACES

And listen to the CNN reporter. The Obama picture is "apparently based on a real photo". As if there is some doubt. That photo has been all over the internet for a year now.

PENNSYLVANIA GOVERNOR WANTS OBAMA TO RETURN: WORRIED HE IS LOSING THE STATE

This seems to be consistent with McCain's internal polls that show him closing the gap in that state.

Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell has sent two separate memos to the Obama campaign in the past five days requesting that the Democratic Presidential candidate—as well as Hillary and Bill Clinton—return to campaign in Pennsylvania, Rendell told CNN's Gloria Borger.

Rendell said the McCain campaign is clearly making a push to win Pennsylvania, given the recent visits by the Arizona senator, his wife and his running mate. As a result, he wants Obama to appear in western Pennsylvania, Harrisburg and one more “large rally” in Philadelphia. Democrats generally worry that the race is significantly closer than what recent polls have suggested. According to Rendell, there is also worry among Democrats the McCain campaign has successfully raised the enthusiasm level among Republicans in the state.

“I don’t want to be selfish,” Rendell said. “But I’m still a little nervous, so I have asked Obama to come back. We understand he’s got demands from 20 different states, but we’d like to see him here.”

Obama's support appears to be weakest in the western part of the state, a region Pennsylvania Rep. Jack Murtha recently called 'racist,' and one where he badly lost to Sen. Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary.

ONE THING JEWS AND MUSLIMS AGREE ON

There is one thing Jews and Muslims agree on these days...Obama.

I'm just sayin'...

OBAMA SUPPORTER GRABS SIGN FROM McCAIN/PALIN SUPPORTER AND BASHES HER IN THE FACE WITH IT

How much did we hear about the what turned out to be non-existent "kill him" threat supposedly yelled at a McCain event? How much is the mainstream media talking about this? Blahhh....preaching to the choir, I know:

This is how the victim describes it:

I said, “What are you doing? You can’t do that!” And he was red in the face screaming, “You people are ridiculous!” And I said, “Yeah, whatever, but you can’t do that.”

So I reached for the sign that he ripped up, and he grabbed another sign, broke it, and ripped it to shreds. And when I said, “You can’t do that,” he took the stick from the sign and started beating me on the head with it. He broke the skin on my head, he scratched my wrist, and almost broke my glasses, and then he left.

I followed him down the stairs to the subway until I could get the police and I said, “You’re not going to get away with it.” And as soon as he saw the police he immediately went calm. He still had the stick in his hand, and you could see the injury on my face, and he admitted it. He was arrested. He actually said, “I don’t know why I did this. It’s just those signs, and this election, it has me so upset.”

WHERE HAS THIS BEEN JOHNNY MAC?

McCain slams Obama at his New Mexico speech.

HEY JOE BIDEN!...YOU GOT KNOCKED THE FUCK OUT

Awesome performance, all you can say about that...Friggin' Biden...Dude spent the whole time criticizing McCain and not answering any of the questions...came off looking silly...He refused to address Palin's points...He just kept blurting out the Democrat talking points...Palin awesome...Absolutely awesome!...Don't believe anything to the contrary...Started nervous, but man, did she settle in quick and start throwing shots to the gut or what? Charming, endearing...and tough. All wrapped up into one. She made Biden look old, tired, and out of touch. One criticism and one criticism only. Palin should have hammered Biden with his statement about how he would be happy to run on a McCain ticket every time he harped on McCain's past policies. She played that card only once. It should have been a central theme. That would have been great. And I would have thrown in Obama's past comment that McCain has been a "consistent reformer". Sometimes I wonder who is advising his campaign and whether they ever read the conservative blogs.

And I guess the debate didn't end on the note Ifil wanted, because after she said "this is the last question", she asked another.

The most striking rhetoric came from Biden when he said he was taken out of context on not supporting clean coal. Out of context? I don't know, watch this and you tell me? Was he taken out of context?

DEBATE: QUESTION BY QUESTION

The debate begins...

QUESTION: Where do you stand on the bailout plan?

Obama: Fails to answer the question. Fails to mention any specifics of his plan. Instead gives Democrat talking points and blames Bush.

McCain: Gives a shout out to Teddy Kennedy. Talks about Bi-partisanship. Fails to answer the question.

On Follow up:

Obama: Still fails to answer the question. Claims he warned everyone it was going to happen. Blames Bush.

McCain: Says he'll vote for the plan. References Eisenhower and speaks to accountability being non-existent in Washington.

At this point, in my opinion, both of these guys, seem clueless on the financial crisis. Obama, never answered the question.

McCain: Hammers Obama on his nearly billion dollars in earmarks. Obama responds with the standby McCain wants to cut taxes for corporations and blames Bush.

Question: What do you intend to give up in your administration due to the lost revenue from the bailout costs?

Obama: Totally dodges question. Offers a bunch of platitudes about energy independence and education that had nothing to do with the question.

McCain: Do away with wasteful spending, cost plus contracts. Examine every agency of government and eliminate those that suck.

Follow up: Dude's, what are you going to do in a major way? What are you going to give up if you're President?

Obama: Again doesn't answer question, says we need energy independence, and then adopts McCain's answer regarding cutting spending as his own.

McCain: Proffers spending freeze.

Obama: Get out of Iraq.

McCain: Go with nuclear power.

Follow up: How is the financial crisis going to effect your presidency? Answer the damn question!

Obama: There's going to be less tax revenue, and I'm going to have make tough decisions. But doesn't say what they're going to be.

McCain: Cancel Obama's spending programs. Grow the economy, with lower taxes.

Obama: Blames Bush.

McCain: Speaks to his record of bi-partisanship. I'm a maverick.

Question: What are the lessons are Iraq?

McCain: You cannot have a failed strategy that will lead to defeat. Takes credit for the surge. We will come home with honor and victory. We now have an ally in the Middle East.

Obama: I opposed this war. Should have finished the job in Afghanistan. I was right and everyone else was wrong. Says Al Qaeda stronger now than ever. We should take Iraq's money. Use military wisely.

Follow Up: What about what Obama said McCain?

McCain: Hammers Obama for being wrong on the surge. Just hammers him.

Obama: The surge was nothing but a tactic to hide failure.

McCain: Obama refuses to acknowledge that we are winning on Iraq. Calls out Obama for voting to cut troop funding.

Question: Do we need more troops in Afghanistan?

Obama: Yes. As quickly as possible. Talks about poppy trade. Have to deal with Pakistan. Says we need to strike Pakistan.

McCain: We won't abandon Afghanistan as we did after Russia was forced out. I'm not going to threaten Pakistan. Says Obama is a fool for saying out loud that he will attack Pakistan.

Obama: We will take out Al Qeada in Pakistan if they don't. Willing to risk a war with Pakistan.

Question: What is your reading of the threat from Iran to the United States?

McCain: We cannot allow Iran to have nukes. Sanctions need to be stepped up. Make no doubt that Iran is a threat to the world.

Obama: Thinks Iran's Republican Guard is a terrorist organization. Iraq strengthened Iran. Israel is our ally. We need tougher sanctions.

McCain: Hammers Obama for wanting to talk to dictators without preconditions.

Obama: I would sit down with Iran's mullahs cause they have all the powers. I never meant preconditions, I meant we would have preparations before talks.

McCain: Calls Obama on lies about meeting without preconditions. Trust but verify.

Obama: Says he never said with preconditions without preparations. This is not true. We've reported on this before here at The Big Feed.

Question: How do see relationship with Russia?

Obama: Russian approach needs to be re-evaluated. Georgia actions unacceptable. Must adhere to ceasefire. Can't return to Cold War posture. Goes into no detail about the region.

McCain: Hammers Obama for saying both sides need to show restraint. Russia is nothing but a KGB state. Georgia conflict about energy. Obama didn't know that. He's naive. Russia has to understand the inclusion of Georgia and Ukraine is American policy. I've been to Georgia. Obama hasn't. We will work with Russia but they have to respect international values. Goes into great detail about the situation in the Caucuses.

Obama: Agrees with everything McCain said. Claims he warned administration about Russian peace keepers in Georgian territory. Must increase domestic energy independence. Says he has a plan. Doesn't say what it is.

McCain: Democrats have blocked off shore drilling for years.

Question: What is possibility of another 9-11 attack in the US.

McCain: Less likely. Human intelligence needs to be sharpened. Work closer with allies. Safer, but we have a long way to go. Increase border security.

Obama: Safer in some ways. Guard chemical sites and ports. Suitcase bombs a threat. Need missile defense. Have to be perceived in the world better. Credits McCain on torture issue.

McCain: We don't need a president getting on the job training in office.

Obama: My father was from Kenya, in the 60s he thought America was great, it's not so great anymore. Americans suck. I can make it great. (Asshole!).

END OF DEBATE

McCain showed superior command of the details on all issues. Details Obama seemed incapable of speaking to. McCain gets the importance of energy security, Obama seems to not think it's even an issue. Obama spent most of the night speaking in broad platitudes. McCain impressed me a great deal by calling Russia exactly what it is, a KGB apparatus. That was a real blockbuster regarding the most central foreign policy issue in play. No doubt he carried this debate. Made Obama look like the foreign policy neophyte he is.

McCain got under Obama's skin and got him flustered several times. Obama seemed to agree with McCain an awful lot (8 times officially). Obama looked like an idiot with all the smirking and huffing and puffing and interrupting of McCain.

UPDATE:

Here's the truth about what Obama said about meeting with Iranian president without preconditions. Obama lied several times. Read.

DEMOCRATS TANKING BAILOUT PLAN TO PIN FAILURE ON JOHN McCAIN

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

THE FATE OF AMERICA IS AT HAND AND OBAMA SAYS "HOLLA IF YA NEED ME DOG"

What a profound failure to display leadership at a time when a leader is needed. What better test of how a presidential candidate is going to deal with a crisis than to present them with an actual crisis? And what does Obama do? He states that he'll return if needed. Instead, he intends to spend his days studying up for a foreign policy debate while his counterpart, McCain, is poised to help push through the most important governmental measure of our lifetime. And to cover for his own ineptitude, he has the "audacity" to call McCain's actions a political stunt.

Obama! You're still a Senator. And although you've never really done anything in that capacity, you are being paid a lot of money from taxpayers to be doing something. And you don't even have the common decency to pretend like you're working? You're a joke. An absolute joke. It's obvious you're not needed Obama. No one expects you to help solve this problem. Point of fact, you and the Democrats caused the damn problem. So keep your water baby head tilting, shit-eating grinning, Veggie Burger Hill fighting, self away. Dereliction of duty fits you best

UPDATE: President Bush has issued an invitation to Obama to return to Washington (Has Obama ever even been there?) to discuss the financial crisis. Obama has accepted. Not sure why. His initial decision not to return should tell anyone who is interested that he has nothing of substance to offer.
