Should we trust the National polls?

The national polls are all over the map, as we all probably know by now. An associated press-GfK poll has Obama at..... 44 to McCain's..... 43 Giving Obama only a one point lead. A pew poll has it at Obama ...53 to McCain's .....39 a 14 point advantage for Obama, so this is a very wide range that we should be suspicious of. and keep in mind, So far in this election the national polls have been wrong.

In the democratic primary three weeks before Clinton conceded, some Polls had Obama up by 26 points. The last realclearpolitics average for the primary had Obama up by 12.2 points.http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/us/democratic_presidential_nomination-191.html but there was one big problem for Obama, he won the popular vote by less than 1 percentage point. In this case the national polls were way off, and they overestimated Obamas victory against Clinton.

The moral of the story is that the national polls have done a terrible job so far in this election, so why should we believe them now! Polls should be used as a reference, but not as an absolute reality for any election.......especially this one .

Vote for Osama?

Some people might actually have to vote for "Barack Osama" because of some voting irregularities. I came across this story an couldn't stop laughing. http://timesunion.com/AspStories/story.asp?storyID=731727 Maybe if there are more of these mistakes it will be harder for people to vote for Osama, one can always hope.

Ohio secretary of state website hacked.

Jennifer brunner, the Secretary of state for Ohio, reported that the state website was hacked so it was partially shut down. It is not known if any confidential information have been taken from the site as of now, but an investigation is under way. The site won't be fully functional until the investigation is finished. but Before we start feeling sorry For Jennifer Brunner, we should take into account that she recently admitted that 200,000 voter registrations could possibly be fraudulent citing some of the info in the registration records don't match. In spite of this possible voter fraud, she has been fighting the state GOP and recently won in the supreme court regarding the 200'000 possibly fraudulent registrations. So this means that the state of Ohio doesn't need to update there voter registration, or check the voter information to guard against voter fraud. It looks like this is the mess you get when Democrats take control. God help us on November 4!

A letter to Colin Powell!

Well, General Powell, you have endorsed Barack Obama, and I'm still scratching my head as to why you would do such a thing. How could you possibly support the most liberal senator and his VP the third most liberal senator on the heels of democrats possibly getting a supermajority in the congress? How could you support a man that has associations with William Ayers,Reverend Wright,ACORN and who was endorsed by Louis Farrakhan? How could you support a man with such a thin resume, a one term senator with no record of accomplishment, a man with no military experience or executive experience? How could you support a man that looks down on small town Americans calling them bitter and clinging to guns and religion? How could you support a man who's political machine smears a hard working American, a Plumber by the name of Joe? How could you support a man that wants to sit down without preconditions with Holocaust deniers and socialist dictators? How could you support a man that wants to raise the Americans peoples taxes and plummet this country into more debit?

I just have one last Question for you General Powell, how could you?

The polls are tightening folks!

Obama had better think twice before measuring those white house curtains! Recent polls show a tightening race, a Gallup poll of likely voters (traditional) has it at 49 Obama/47 McCain, and another Gallup poll of likely voter (expanded) has it at 50 Obama/46 McCain. Zogby has it at 47.8 Obama/45.1 McCain, and zogby hasn’t had Obama up by more than 6.2 points in the last 8 days. So a bit of good news, it's not over yet.

"Joe the plumber" represents heartland American values.

When John McCain looked into the camera and spoke to Joe the plumber, he wasn't just speaking to Joe, he was speaking to every hard working American that doesn't want their taxes raised,their national defence weakened, or their country turned into Western Europe. At first, i wasn't sure if it was a good idea to bring Joe into the debate, but the media coverage today has made me think twice.

Joe the plumber (real name Samuel joseph wurzelbacher) is a guy from Ohio and is now a bit of a media sensation, at least for now. Joe has given several interviews, some of them blasting Obama on his tax increase proposals in a way that people can relate to and identify with. Joe speaks for the working man, because he is the working man, and he isn't swayed by Obamas slick ways and lies about tax cuts.

When McCain brought Joe into the debate, he brought all of us into the debate, and i think that Joe the Plumber might be the gift that keeps on giving.

The debate is over..... now what?

Another debate and another less than stellar performance by McCain. He threw a few punches, but they just didn't seem to stick, and most snap polls and focus groups after the debate scored Obama the winner. McCain did however try to distance himself from the Bush administration by saying "I'm not president bush. if you want to run against president bush you should have run four years ago" that was the most memorable line of the night.

McCain also tried to question the ACORN and Ayers connection to Obama, and Obama seemed to weasel his way out of it, but McCain didn't follow up. After watching the debate i,m at a loss for words. I'm not sure were McCain goes from here. What can McCain do if anything to take the lead from Obama. The only thing i can think of is for the McCain camp to get the base out on November 4, and hope that the undecideds go with a familiar face in McCain and not take the risk with the new guy Obama. I guess we just have to keep a positive attitude and pray for the best.
