Pudge is awesome!
So is this news–
Daily Presidential Tracking Poll
Saturday, October 30, 2010
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows that 27% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-four percent (44%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -17.
Overall, the Rasmussen Reports Election 2010 Balance of Power summary shows Democrats likely to end up with 48 seats and Republicans with 45. Seven Senate races remain Toss-Ups (California, Colorado, Illinois, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Washington, and West Virginia). Republicans need to win six of the seven Toss-Ups to win control. Currently, Republicans have a slight edge in five of the Toss-up states while Democrats have the edge in two.
And just a reminder, in 2012, 23 of the 33 seats up for grabs are Democrat.
Have a nice day!

Mr. Cynicalspews:
ImamObaMao will desperately need Ohio to get re-elected… His approval rating is at 33% or less. And as for as the Senate Race goes–
Election 2010: Ohio Senate
Ohio Senate: Portman (R) Maintains Sizable Lead Over Fisher (D)
Saturday, October 30, 2010
Republican Rob Portman enters the closing days of the Ohio Senate race with a lead of over 20 points on Democratic Lieutenant Governor Lee Fisher.
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in the state finds Portman, a former congressman and Bush administration official, with 57% of the vote to Fisher’s 33%.
Ouch! 24 points.
Because it’s Rasmussen, I suppose you KLOWNS dream that it’s a toss-up. Right?
3 more days.

Mr. Cynicalspews:
I’m sure in your alleged KLOWNminds (oxymoron)…these are all toss-ups.
You could see 25-12 Republican in this years 37 Senate Races….meaning the R’s will likely control the Senate in 2012 when 23 of the 33 seats up are Dems. Then look ahead to 2014…20 out of 33 will be Democrats. Think you will be playing a little defense the next 2 elections? Momentum is clearly against you. Can the R’s screw it up? You bet. That’s your only hope..that the R’s turn out to be as arrogant & stupid as the Obama Regime.
We will welcome you progressives to the discussion table. We will take our time considering your desires…much more time than Obama did on say ObamaCare or the Porkulous Bill etc. However, in the end, there will be a vote and the result will be a Conservative Agenda. And some of you will prosper from it. Those like YLB who refuses to work…won’t.
But even YLB will have opportunities..to succeed or fail.
Risk and Reward.

I think you understand what has happened Darryl. Americans hate poor winners and arrogance when in power. They hate it…and Obama did it. So did other Dems like Reid & Pelosi. What a huge mistake.
“I’m not a gasbag like the KLOWNS that post here.”
Fine. But then don’t copy other people’s stuff. If you want to make the point concisely, summarize in your own words without copying, and include a link back to the source material.

For those of you interested in economics (meaning mainly my friends who are always RIGHT as the KLOWNS seem intent on defying the laws of basic economics)….here is an excellent article.
Obama MUST increase the GDP and decrease National Debt as a % of GDP..instead he has greatly increased the Debt % to nearly 95% which is totally unsustainable.
Is it cutting spending? Hardly… Any politician who wants to keep his job raises spending in the face of an economic downturn. Look at the hypocrite right wingers who dissed the stimulus and then took the money!
Is it raising taxes? Helps but no..
It’s the economic growth stupid! And this country has subsidized the hollowing out of its own economy for the past 30 years.
You’re just addicted to posting Scotty Raz’ good cheer in the HA Comment threads more than once a day.

Mr. Cynicalspews:
YLB–
Until the results show otherwise, Rasmussen has an excellent history…especially when we get this close to election day.
As I said before, polls are only a snapshot and can be used to feel out momentum early on.
At this point, they are predictors.
Rasmussen always publishes a summary of his results vs. predictions…unlike some polls you seem to rely on.
If cellphones significantly impact Rasmussen’s predictions this election, he will have to change his assumptions.
Poll results are about underlying assumptions.
You seem to get unhinged about Rasmussen and apparently take early polls as predictors, not snapshots of sentiment & momentum.
Get real fool.
Don’t have much of a problem with Scotty Raz KLOWN.. Everyone even on my side of fence agrees he’s competent.
I’m more fascinated with the psychos who copy and paste his stuff here in the comment threads an average of MORE than once a day.
For a more balanced life – try one or twice a WEEK ok?

Update from Carson City, NV – In today’s Nevada Day parade, D’s and R’s marched together in support of Harry Reid in his 50-50 race against Sharron “Forty-One To” Angle. Reid was supposedly there, but wasn’t in the parade. Angle was in the parade, and got within about five feet of me. I was able to steel myself against the assault of her psychosis. His son Rory was also in the parade, still about 15 to 20 points behind Brian Sandoval in the NV governor’s race.

In this sentence the real news is that Reid didn’t put this race to bed on Angles’ winning the primary. Want to know what America thinks of far left governance ala Reid/Obama/Pelosi?
That should give you a pretty good idea.
What political talk do Americans choose? Conservative. Books on politics? Yep, conservative again. The market tells, regardless of insistent and endless media propagandizing from all the major networks and most papers. America doesn’t want what you guys are selling.

What’s actually most amazing is how few Americans buy the left wing propaganda. I mean, for 40 years it’s been pushed on us from TV, newspapers, publicly funded radio and so on. For all that, leftist is still a derogatory word to most Americans. Communist or socialist even more so. All the pretty ideas and fantasies about remaking America in the image of France or Norway so insistently plugged by all major forms of our consistently left wing journalism to what end? Americans still want none of it, by and large. Al Gore lies consistently in his bid for presidency to dead silence from ABC, NBC, CBS or any of the major papers. Bush makes one small mistake and he’s an idiot according to all these folks, with 14 articles and full coverage on all television news station of that fact. Bill Clinton perjures himself and conspires to take the right to a day in court from one of his victims. The result? An impeachment that should have happened, but no conviction to this disgusting abuser of his power.
For all that, for all the ignoring of democrat political or personal problems and over-emphasis on republican in any media outlet except commercial radio and the internet, this nation is still a center right country. And that just burns you folks up, doesn’t it?

Bullshit, lost. Tuesday’s election will be a snapshot in time that means precious little about where America is politically. The American electorate has a very short memory. Those who vote Republican this election, aside from the puppy-barbecuing segment of the GOP to which you belong, are doing so because they’re scared and uncertain. They perceive the Democrats as being in charge, so that’s who gets punished. On the issues, this country is center-left. With the media’s failure to do its job and refusal to call crazy crazy, and with the Right’s ceaseless fearmongering, the Right continues to get a share of the vote disproportionate to the number of Americans who adhere to rightwing values. Tuesday’s election will hardly show any sort of historical trend. It’ll be a blip. The trend of Western Civilization since the Reformation has been to the left. That trend is inevitable, even if we have these brief episodes of going backward, which appears likely to happen on Tuesday.

I’m fed up with the myth of leftist media.
It’s usually socially liberal but it’s very corporate conservtive.
It’s liberal in that it doesn’t make sexist or racist jokes or stories and doesn’t slant the news in racist or sexist ways any more. Women are in positions in power on TV shows. Shows strive to have interracial casts. Shows like Mad Men are interesting in how antiquated and awful they treated women. Homophobic characters and stories and religious extremism are depicted as undesirable on TV. I agree that’s pretty liberal.
But the media is very corporate conservative. They vilify unions. They never cover labor issues, but they cover the investor class in every way possible. They don’t hammer corporations about outsourcing. They don’t question the government. I’m sure others here can list all sorts of ways the media is very corporate conservative.
But the corporate media is not some slavering bastion of liberalism.
NPR is slightly liberal, but they have to attempt to objective so they don’t play that up.
Fox doesn’t even try to be objective. They are just shills and demigods.
