Dead Cat Bounce!

Buh-bye bounce. It's too bad the crowds that drove it can't vote...unless ACORN gets on the case...

[Link: www.gallup.com...]

Down to 6 at Gallup (just released)

Do we really need a daily Presidential Tracking Poll, or is this just a scam to keep the Rasmussen people off unemployment?

bawah ah hah...the guy is a pompous jackass...could be why.

This is too amusing. After all the prevaricating and posing it is still a dead heat between the Obamessiah and McCain. And McCain ain't really running...

Dead cat bounce. So much for that Gallup poll.

Still, I'd be wary of polls in this election cycle, regardless of the results they claim. Pollsters are constantly massaging the numbers with sample size, likely voters v. registered voters, etc., and the internals shed light on the practice to some degree, but if the polled individuals aren't honestly reporting their preferences (Bradley effect), etc., then there's no way to know what is going on.

And to think this is a national poll. It looks even worse for our messiah in his battleground states.

Up in the polls (today at least) or no, the prospect of electing Barack Obama is too grim to sit back and relax.

Wait'll you see McCain's bounce after he does Dancing with the Stars.

That's the real kicker- without any media exposure, McCain is locked in a dead heat. I believe just from that alone, the real tide of this election is in McCain's favor.

Next up? A campaign junket to the hajj!

After all the money he spent going on a field trip to try to make himself look like a fake President! And, no one believes Obama as the fake President. Imagine that!

When “leaners” are included, it’s Obama 47% and McCain 46%. Compared to a week ago, Obama has gained a single percentage point (see recent daily results).

But among admirers of Nazi triumphalist architecture, his poll numbers have skyrocketed.

The clouds and trails are, incredibly, identical. Iran's Revolutionary Guard, which released the photograph along with some belligerent rant, was clearly doing some Photoshopping.

The alteration, first pointed out by political blogger Charles Johnson, seemed intended to conceal the fact that one of the missiles, which the Iranians claim could reach Israel, either did not fire or exploded on the ground.

O'S TOUR DE FARCE

snip:

In private, though, Iraqi officials admit that Obama's analysis is "way off the mark." Without the surge, the Sunni tribes wouldn't have switched sides to help flush out al Qaeda. And the strong US military presence enabled the new Iraqi army to defeat Iran-backed Shiite militias in Basra and Baghdad.

Nevertheless, in public at least, no Iraqi politician wants to appear more appreciative of American sacrifices than the man who may become the next US president.

Iraqis were most surprised by Obama's apparent readiness to throw away all the gains made in Iraq simply to prove that he'd been right in opposing the 2003 overthrow of Saddam Hussein. "He gave us the impression that the last thing he wanted was for Iraq to look anything like a success for the United States," a senior Iraqi official told me. "As far as he is concerned, this is Bush's war and must end in lack of success, if not actual defeat."

And a great swath of darkness will befall all the world.

No kidding. During the 2004 election I was living on a street full of moonbats. After the election I'll swear that there was a dark fog over the street for a month. You could almost reach out and feel the depression in the air. Didn't see any of my neighbors for a loooong time.

/I did keep my political views to myself, and my car didn't get keyed.

From down the hall...

There area couple of moonbat/socialists in the office down the hall. They were cackling about the prospect of a 60+ majority in the Senate. "With a 60+ super majority in the Senate, you'll see changes!" he said.

Lizards, I'm trying to keep the bile from my throat. I am feeling really a "Conservative in Liberal Hands" today...

Allan Keyes is courageous & right in so many ways, but unfortunately doesn't play well with others. Has been AWOL or voluntarily out of the public eye too long.

Keyes should have stuck around & made himself a visible commentator or something, to remain viable for office of some sort.

His solution was to raise taxes on "corporations" (which are always big, greedy, evil, and have more money than they deserve to have, I suppose) and pass those funds to small businesses.

I have a small business. We are a corporation. And I pay more taxes and more different kinds of taxes that I had ever heard of three years ago. (I swear sometimes they are just making some of them up new every month.)

Before Mugabe. Zimbabwe exported food.

Aren't many of these polls taken in major cities where liberals traditionally hold sway?

If that's the case, Obama has little chance if he can't dominate by a big margin in those places. Plus I think many people who say they'll vote for Obama are only saying it so they seem enlightened and open minded to the pollster, but once they are safely in the voting booth they'll vote McCain. At least I hope that's the case.

Either way I'm continuing my own little campaign against The Obamination anyway I can.

Obama lost a huge chunk of his lead but it's reported as "only a gain of 1 percent over"... if McCain lost 6 or 7 points it would be a headline "McCain losing ground" etc... No media bias there just Ministry of Truth wannabees...

I certainly agree African Americans are not monolithic. But there are plenty of people willing to go out and smash stuff if they think they can get away with it. After the Rodney King riots in LA, there were copy-cat riots in several US cities and even in Toronto, for Pete's sake. And not all the rioters will be black. These will be "disaffected youts" venting their "frustration & despair", (while indulging their desire for consumer electronics and new sneakers), urged on by irresponsible community leaders and fanned by the media coverage.

The media & the Obama campaign have built up the sense of inevitability of his victory so thoroughly, they will feel robbed, betrayed and entirely justified to riot.
