“Other” at 1%. Is this mostly Nader, Ron Paul supporters, or a half-half combination of both? I wonder what happens to this number if either or both of them drop out.
The 4% “neither” vote is interesting. My guess is that it is disenchanted Republicans who think McCain is too liberal, but I could be wrong. I’m assuming they will just sit this one out, but when push comes to shove, I could be wrong. I doubt it’s Democrats who won’t vote for a black man – those left the party a long time ago. Possibly also includes a few Hillary supporters. Both sides may be fighting for this group, trying to scare the other into voting for the “lesser of two evils”, as the saying goes.
I started to try to figure out how this works out (what portion of the undecideds McCain has to get in order to fill the gap), but then I realized it’s a useless endeavor. The electoral college map is what’s important.
Everything I’ve seen to date says that Obama will carry at least every state Gore and Kerry carried in the last two elections, and will pick up additional states – enough to put him over the top. McCain will carry quite a few states by a large margin, but I’ll bet he wishes he could take some of those “excess” votes and distributed them among some of the more contested states.

Also from 538
The apparent underperformance of Obama can partially be explained by structural factors, most notably the fact that the Democrats have a wider, more diverse coalition than the Republicans. It is therefore more difficult for any one Democratic nominee to please all his party’s constituents.
So if obama doesn’t please everyone does that mean they aren’t going to vote, or when asked by a pollster answer mcsame?

“Gregoire orders hiring freeze, fuel and travel cuts
Gov. Christine Gregoire is telling state agencies to cut hiring, travel and fuel costs as the weak economy continues to take its toll. In a memo released…
By The Associated Press
OLYMPIA — Gov. Christine Gregoire is telling state agencies to cut hiring, travel and fuel costs as the weak economy continues to take its toll.
In a memo released Monday, Gregoire tells agency directors to cut gas consumption by 5 percent. She also orders freezes on hiring, out-of-state travel, service contracts and extra equipment. There are some exceptions for emergencies.
Officials say the steps could save $90 million in the current budget.
The freeze comes as Gregoire works on a new two-year state budget. The Democrat has been asking agencies to find service cuts to balance the budget. She says tax increases are a last resort.
Gregoire won’t say how big of a deficit the state is facing. But legislative budget experts say the gap could be about $2.7 billion.”
I suggested a Hiring and Spending freeze many months ago. She’s a lot slow on the uptake, ain’t she.

This is one of those times I’m ashamed to be a liberal. Turns out that trigger-happy 14 year old white trash piece of shit bear hunter didn’t have any adult supervision with him.

And if they do, a liberal judge will let him off.
If it were up to me, he would be dead right now. Executed. As well as the grandfather. After a trial, of course.
This whole thing has become madness. I just found out that someone took my visa card for a $1500.00 plus bank charges ride.

Nothing further will ever be done in this matter I assure you. Don’t get me wrong, my bank will make this right, but I feel that Pierce County owes me more than a report by telephone for a real criminal.

OK. From the New Republic:
“Despite the ecstatic throngs in Berlin and the impeccable Sderot photo-op, Obama’s lead hasn’t grown in the polls. In fact, as of this writing, it has actually diminished in some polls of Ohio, Michigan, and Minnesota–and evaporated in Colorado. National polls show McCain hanging within a stunningly small margin. (According to pollster.com’s average of all polling, he leads by just 2.5 percent.) What makes this margin so stunning is that nothing has gone right for McCain this past month.
. . .
“If you journey to Obama’s website, you’ll find a slew of terrific policy proposals to fix financial markets and salve the worst blows of the downturn. But if you watch his ads and listen to his speeches, you’ll struggle to hear him articulate a consistent narrative for our economics woes. His campaign has been notably devoid of the populist criticism of Al Gore’s 2000 campaign–which is a shame, because there are corporations and banks well deserving of opprobrium just now. And, more importantly, he hasn’t found a clear, compelling way to explain the contours of this current crisis–how it reflects structural changes and manifests itself in peoples’ lives–a prerequisite for building faith in his capacity to solve it.”
Doesn’t sound like the FACTS are what democrats want to hear these days.
I wonder if they are regretting that they let their white liberal guilt force them to select obama instead of hillary.

I loved being a district attorney…but I don’t think that’s what Barack Obama’s looking for in a vice president. I’ve been governor for 18 months. It’s been a great experience. But it’s just 18 months…Obama has to think about experience…levels of experience…”
caller: “Governor, you said 18 months’ experience wasn’t enough experience as governor to be the vice president. Would you want to contrast that with the 143 days’ experience Obama as senator before he decided he had enough experience to be president.”
Bill Ritter’ “All I can tell ya is I am a fan of Barack Obama’s. Met him in 2004 during his campaign for Senate…You meet him and discover there’s something very different about him. That’s all I’ll say.”
There goes my theory that everyone on the left are idiots. At least one person understands how important experience is. After all, if he doesn’t feel his 540 days as governor isn’t enough experience for veep, how can 143 be enough experience for president.
No doubt this is going to be a new ad for mcsame. And considering it’s from the mouth of a democrat considered for veep, it’s going to leave a big mark.
I wonder if obama keeps screwing up and dropping in the polls if the super delegates will pledge their votes to hillary. Nope, that would be the end of the black vote, the end of the democrat party.

Many consider cook county jail the worst in the nation, not because it’s not painted a nice cheerful color but because of the number of inmates that “accidently” die at the hands of the guards.
(Cook county is in the state that obama did so much good for, just like he wants to do to america)
Now, there are problems getting the kind of guards they want, the kind of guards that represent the view of the city & state leaders.
It’s getting tougher for the dishonest, the mentally unstable and the overweight to get hired as Cook County jail guards these days. As a result, fewer guards are getting hired.
…
Last week, a federal report on Cook County Jail conditions found a culture among guards that fostered beatings to the point of hospitalization when inmates talked back or rebuffed orders. Many of the beatings brought lawsuits and costly settlements.
See, liberals/democrats are capable of learning. It just takes you longer. I could have figured out that having lying fat crazies working as guards wasn’t a good idea in a matter of seconds.
Of course most of the inmates getting beaten and killed were black so it doesn’t get much time on abc, cbs, nbc, cnn, msnbc. Don’t hold your breath for olbermann to award one of these guards the worse person of the day, after all they are in a union and vote democrat.

Right. It’s gotten so bad that McCain is virtually tied with Obama in the polls. Some data:
In the table labeled “McCain-Obama: Trust on Issues” 14 issues are listed. On the economy there’s a tie. In 9 out of the 14 McCain is given the nod. In 4 out of 14, Obama. On Iraq McCain is trusted more by a 51 vs 39 percent margin.
And here’s what the San Francisco Chronicle, hardly a right wing rag, has to say on some of Obama’s latest moves:
Barack Obama should not have to hit a three-pointer to win this election. It should be a lay-up. Yet if Senator Obama is doing so well, why is he doing so poorly? And if John McCain is doing so poorly, why is he doing so well?
Considering the basketball reference, do you think the author believes all blacks play basketball?
This is the trap Barack Obama has made for himself, the one he cannot escape, the one Hillary Clinton foresaw, the one that may doom him. The Obama campaign knows it too. In fear the dream is being lost drop-by-drop, they are going negative on John McCain. Maybe the aliens should ask to meet McCain, as well.
Yup, obama is going negative. Add that to the long list of obama flip-flops.
Best comment award goes to-
Given McCain’s weakness, even among Republicans, Obama should have a commanding double-digit lead. That he doesn’t begs the question, why not? Imagine if you can a Reagan/Obama match up. Obama would be crushed.

It’s true that scientists don’t know exactly how much world temperatures will rise if we persist with business as usual. But that uncertainty is actually what makes action so urgent.

Anyway, the debate that is over is that global warming is occurring and that humans activities contribute mightily to it. http://www.ipcc.ch
The “chances” are how severe the consequences are. More Krugman:
Martin Weitzman, a Harvard economist who has been driving much of the recent high-level debate, offers some sobering numbers. Surveying a wide range of climate models, he argues that, over all, they suggest about a 5 percent chance that world temperatures will eventually rise by more than 10 degrees Celsius (that is, world temperatures will rise by 18 degrees Fahrenheit). As Mr. Weitzman points out, that’s enough to “effectively destroy planet Earth as we know it.”
So there’s a 5% chance that we are going to destroy all human life. Got it yet?

Re: Gallup Poll (see comment # 1);
“Other” at 1%. Is this mostly Nader, Ron Paul supporters, or a half-half combination of both? I wonder what happens to this number if either or both of them drop out.
The 4% “neither” vote is interesting. My guess is that it is disenchanted Republicans who think McCain is too liberal, but I could be wrong. I’m assuming they will just sit this one out, but when push comes to shove, I could be wrong. I doubt it’s Democrats who won’t vote for a black man – those left the party a long time ago. Possibly also includes a few Hillary supporters. Both sides may be fighting for this group, trying to scare the other into voting for the “lesser of two evils”, as the saying goes.
I started to try to figure out how this works out (what portion of the undecideds McCain has to get in order to fill the gap), but then I realized it’s a useless endeavor. The electoral college map is what’s important.
Everything I’ve seen to date says that Obama will carry at least every state Gore and Kerry carried in the last two elections, and will pick up additional states – enough to put him over the top. McCain will carry quite a few states by a large margin, but I’ll bet he wishes he could take some of those “excess” votes and distributed them among some of the more contested states.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows the race for the White House is tied with Barack Obama and John McCain each attracting 44% of the vote. However, when “leaners” are included, it’s McCain 47% and Obama 46%.
This is the first time McCain has enjoyed even a statistically insignificant advantage of any sort since Obama clinched the Democratic nomination on June 3

“Gregoire orders hiring freeze, fuel and travel cuts
Gov. Christine Gregoire is telling state agencies to cut hiring, travel and fuel costs as the weak economy continues to take its toll. In a memo released…
By The Associated Press
OLYMPIA — Gov. Christine Gregoire is telling state agencies to cut hiring, travel and fuel costs as the weak economy continues to take its toll.
In a memo released Monday, Gregoire tells agency directors to cut gas consumption by 5 percent. She also orders freezes on hiring, out-of-state travel, service contracts and extra equipment. There are some exceptions for emergencies.
Officials say the steps could save $90 million in the current budget.
The freeze comes as Gregoire works on a new two-year state budget. The Democrat has been asking agencies to find service cuts to balance the budget. She says tax increases are a last resort.
Gregoire won’t say how big of a deficit the state is facing. But legislative budget experts say the gap could be about $2.7 billion.”
I suggested a Hiring and Spending freeze many months ago. She’s a lot slow on the uptake, ain’t she.
The devil is in the details on these “freezes”. How will we measure what Gregoire actually does????

OK. From the New Republic:
“Despite the ecstatic throngs in Berlin and the impeccable Sderot photo-op, Obama’s lead hasn’t grown in the polls. In fact, as of this writing, it has actually diminished in some polls of Ohio, Michigan, and Minnesota–and evaporated in Colorado. National polls show McCain hanging within a stunningly small margin. (According to pollster.com’s average of all polling, he leads by just 2.5 percent.) What makes this margin so stunning is that nothing has gone right for McCain this past month.
. . .
“If you journey to Obama’s website, you’ll find a slew of terrific policy proposals to fix financial markets and salve the worst blows of the downturn. But if you watch his ads and listen to his speeches, you’ll struggle to hear him articulate a consistent narrative for our economics woes. His campaign has been notably devoid of the populist criticism of Al Gore’s 2000 campaign–which is a shame, because there are corporations and banks well deserving of opprobrium just now. And, more importantly, he hasn’t found a clear, compelling way to explain the contours of this current crisis–how it reflects structural changes and manifests itself in peoples’ lives–a prerequisite for building faith in his capacity to solve it.”

Ritter: “Well, just because, I think there are a lot of things that he has to take into consideration. I’ve been governor for 18 months. My experience before that was as a district attorney. I loved being a district attorney…but I don’t think that’s what Barack Obama’s looking for in a vice president. I’ve been governor for 18 months. It’s been a great experience. But it’s just 18 months…Obama has to think about experience…levels of experience…”
caller: “Governor, you said 18 months’ experience wasn’t enough experience as governor to be the vice president. Would you want to contrast that with the 143 days’ experience Obama as senator before he decided he had enough experience to be president.”
Bill Ritter’ “All I can tell ya is I am a fan of Barack Obama’s. Met him in 2004 during his campaign for Senate…You meet him and discover there’s something very different about him. That’s all I’ll say.”
There goes my theory that everyone on the left are idiots. At least one person understands how important experience is. After all, if he doesn’t feel his 540 days as governor isn’t enough experience for veep, how can 143 be enough experience for president.
No doubt this is going to be a new ad for mcsame. And considering it’s from the mouth of a democrat considered for veep, it’s going to leave a big mark.
I wonder if obama keeps screwing up and dropping in the polls if the super delegates will pledge their votes to hillary. Nope, that would be the end of the black vote, the end of the democrat party.

Of course most of the inmates getting beaten and killed were black so it doesn’t get much time on abc, cbs, nbc, cnn, msnbc. Don’t hold your breath for olbermann to award one of these guards the worse person of the day, after all they are in a union and vote democrat.
