Thing about polls, they are double biased.

First, pollsters have divided the population into assumed numbers of Republicans, Democrats and Independents. Even if assumed to be 1/3 of each, it's still a WAG.

Second, what's to stop a Lib from claiming to "always have voted Republican" before expressing support for Obambi? Nothing... and that sounds right up ACORN's alley. Not only does this take one Republican quota number out, but allows for an overrepresentation of Bambi on both sides of the fence.

Don't trust them.

I guess he should consider himself lucky. The worst punishment he'll receive is a fine and perhaps some jail/probation. Once Obama is elected, he'd probably face amputation of his hands, stoning, or death.

re: #11 pat

McCain down by 11 after debate. Gallup. Quite a performance.

Okay, let's break it down.

1. This is a poll of registered voters, not likely voters, and is inherently less accurate.

2. Gallup does not publish the breakdown of self-identified Democrats/Republicans/Independents surveyed, or if they do, I can't find it.

3. This is a national poll. There is no indication of which states the respondents live in. For all we know, they could all live in NY and California.

In other words, there's nothing there that gives me confidence that the poll reflects any reality outside of Gallup headquarters.

For Charles, one of your favorites:

re: #60 lawhawk

You forget that the popular polls mean zip, even if they are not skewed, as I feel some of them are. If you look at the Zogby [Link: www.zogby.com...] polls, a lot of states that Zogby has in the purple have McCain out front by 6+ points. The exceptions are New Mexico and North Carolina. Granted these numbers are a week or so stale, but if the votes go the way that Zogby has them, then McCain gets 279 votes in the electoral college to 244 for 0bama. Shifts and Acorn voter fraud can occur during the last month of course, so I do not count on that outcome. There is a lot of herd instinct being recruited by the MSM and some of the organizations out there. I am not sure it will work when the person is alone in the voting booth. We will see. I have yet to understand why somebody would vote for a jr. senator without any real record who is associated with racists, terrorists, and felons who changes his stance in a nano-second.

Michael Moore does not ask the hard hitting questions about 9/11. In the movie he simply said Bush was too dumb and that's why it happened. i wanna know why did wtc building 7 come down? why was there molten metal at the bottom of the rubble 6 weeks after the fall of towers 1 and 2? why did the 9/11 commission report say that the person who wired Atta 100,000 dollars the day of 9/11 is not really important? Michael Moore fails to ask any of these questions.

About Bill Ayers and Obama

Comments | Mail to a Friend | Report Objectionable Content

I don't think the Obama Campaign should denounce this association with Bill Ayers.

Ayers fought for the rights of blacks and against an unjust war. That Obama could have values and efforts he supports is not unsavory, it is appropriate.

One person called Ayers an "unrepentant terrorist" - seems unlikely the University of Illinois would have him on the faculty if he was such, nor would the mayor of Chicago have asked him to lead a program on school reform. How old was Ayers when he helped found the group that claimed responsibility for the acts with which these ads wish to associate Obama? (answer: he was 25 when he got involved. Obama was 8).

Can people not grow up and change?

Ayers since wrote a letter to the Chicago Tribune, saying, "I condemn all forms of terrorism--individual, group and official."

I suspect if I met him I would find him a rather interesting person with many values and efforts I would applaud, especially given I was raised in an alternative schooling program here in Ann Arbor. The Republican party and people pushing this conflagration are just being pernicious and distorting in painting this association as in any way unsavory.

Kernall was so proud of what he'd done.
He was so smart.
He was so ... shocked.
The 64 cent question is ... will he grow up?

No more 4chan for him either! How's he going to get his jollies now? Actually, if I were his dad, I'd be more worried that he hangs out at 4chan than anything else.

I just hope the access to our nukes doesn't have the same kind of reset password capabilities.

"The unauthorized access of a computer system" is the legal terminology used whereas us laypeople simply call it "Computer Hacking".

A federal grand jury has indicted the son of a Democratic Tennessee state lawmaker in connection with the hacking of the e-mail account of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

If convicted, watch for a Obama presidential pardon (for helping the cause).

There wasn’t any “hacking” involved in this case, though. He allegedly just guessed at the Yahoo security questions and succeeded in changing the account password

I don't agree. This was a perfect case of "hacking". 90% of "hacking" is guessed passwords, or defeating passwords using non-sophisticated methods.

I agree the kid will end up being seen a hero by the "oppressed" (read: basement living 60's hippies)...

Why would the VP candidate of the most powerful nation in the world, use a damn yahoo account?

Hope he enjoys his time a federal pound him in the ass prison.

I would argue that any attempt to use a computer to knowingly access private data of another individual constitutes the legal definition of hacking. But then again, I'm a firewall guy, not a lawyer. Though considering all the corporate standards I have to follow, I could probably make a decent stab at a bar exam.

But yes, its definitely not the industry trade definition of hacking.

re: #83 allan5oh

Why would the VP candidate of the most powerful nation in the world, use a damn yahoo account?

Because she wasn't a VP candidate when she opened the account?

Because the account was used only for personal chit-chat, maybe?

Remember, the hacker himself was disappointed with what he found; in his words: "There was nothing there."

A yahoo account could be useful to have. Give that out to those that you might wish to communicate with, and keep the real ISP-provided e-mail private, for only trusted correspondents.

David Kernell, 20, of Knoxville, Tenn., the son of state Rep. Mike Kernell, was scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday before U.S. Magistrate Judge C. Clifford Shirley, according to a statement from the Justice Department.

Shirley, he can't be serious.

We can dream, but this little punk will not do a day in jail, and if by some remote possiblity he is convicted, president for life bambi will be sure to pardon him.

So if similar court cases are any indicator, the defense attorney will try:

1. But he's a good boy that just made a bad mistake.
2. There wasn't any real harm behind what he did. It was just a prank!
3. He has Asperger's and cannot distinguish between right and wrong.

Or some combination thereof.

LOL, now THATS change we can believe in!

re: #38 MandyManners

Paging Herr Doktor Freud.

I disagree that there was no "hacking." A major part of hacking is knowing the weakness of the system under attack, and often just making some educated guesses. One of the most well-known hackers of our time gained his most important access by posing as an employee and just asking people for passwords.

The person in this case understood how the system worked, researched the subject, and did some trial and error to fool the system into giving him access. He then secured his own access and denied further access to authorized users by altering the system (changing the password.) This is a different skill set than, say, using a specially coded program to generate a buffer overflow, but it certainly qualifies as hacking in my book.

I'll tell you, though, the most despicable thing was going through each and every message, and publishing the personal photographs found there, not to mention calling at least one of the family members. Given the level of actual damage (not much,) I'd vote for 2 weeks in jail and a year without Internet access.

An educated guess is the ultimate "hack".

Women she has worked with for years and who have NEVER voted for ANY Republican plan to vote for Sarah Palin. Yes, no mistake, I left McGeezus out of the equation since the only thing the dipstick has done right yet was PICK Palin. Add in the subtle racism that is the core of most liberals mindset coupled with the feminist agenda and Hillary being stomped like a field mouse by Team JoeBama and I see things going south for them.

re: #85 RedHouseBlueState

Here is a good look into the laws this moonbat puke broke.

Sarah Palin's hacker ostensibly breached U.S.C. &sect2701, Unlawful Access to Stored Communications. This states that anyone who... "intentionally accesses without authorization ... an electronic communication service ...and thereby obtains, alters, or prevents authorized access to a wire or electronic communication while it is in electronic storage in such system shall be punished..."

Palin's hacker did access her email without authorization and obtained electronic communication. "Electronic Storage" itself is an elusive definition. The Act says "electronic storage" is "any temporary, intermediate storage of a wire or electronic communication," or "any storage of such communication by an electronic communication service for purposes of backup protection." Since the Act talks of temporary storage, many argue that any opened emails would not be protected.

Since prosecution of Palin's hacker would proceed to California's Ninth Circuit, which covers Alaska cases, her prosecutors would file charges there. That Court has ruled that "electronic storage" allows for both opened and unopened emails, as outlined in Theofel v. Farey-Jones, 359 F.3d 1066, 1075 (9th Cir. 2003).
