With a slew of new polls, there’s a good deal of action this week.
SD: This tiny state of 3 electoral votes is almost a Republican landslide. This year, it may be a little different. While only based on one poll their, Rasmussen shows McCain leading by one 4 points. While I doubt SD is […]
The McCain campaign has put up a new ad on its website. And, what’s the argument? That Obama will take the country in the wrong direction? That Obama will raise your taxes?
No.
It complains that the media loves Barack Obama. Really? What is this, a whining kid on the playground? “It’s just not fair!” screams […]
A South Carolina State Senator has posted an Obama/Osama photo on his website. According to the picture on Sen. Kevin Bryant’s page, it says the only thing that’s different between them is “B.S.” (Because Obama has a ‘B’ while Osama has an ‘S.’)
Feel free to go to his site to spread your hate/love mail on […]
Last week, Barack Obama’s lead in the StarkedDC average fell to just two points nationally, 47-45. Has there been any movement since the start of his trip? A little bit.
This week, Obama has regained a four point lead, 50-46. This is close to the margin he’s been at for the past two months. Thus, […]
Here’s MSNBC’s coverage of Obama in Afghanistan as well as clips of him making a three-pointer in Kuwait.

The Iraqi Prime Minister, Nuri al-Maliki, has backed Barack Obama’s 16 month withdrawal plan:
From Reuters:
Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki told a German magazine he supported prospective U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama’s proposal that U.S. troops should leave Iraq within 16 months.
In an interview with Der Spiegel released on Saturday, Maliki said he wanted […]
Barack Obama has indeed landed this morning in Afghanistan with a few of his fellow Senators. It seems Obama stopped in Kuwait along the way.
The report from the AP:
Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama started a campaign-season tour of combat zones and foreign capitals, visiting with U.S. forces in Kuwait and then Afghanistan _ the scene […]
John McCain today gave the implication that Barack Obama may be a socialist. He labeled Obama as ‘to the left’ of admitted Socialist Bernie Sanders (I), Senator from Vermont.
Here’s the quote from CNN:
“His voting record … is more to the left than the announced socialist in the United States Senate, Bernie Sanders of […]
The McCain campaign is crying foul on Barack Obama’s Iraq positions. Of course this comes right before Obama’s big trip to the region next week. Here they are with an expansive video on the subject.

Here’s Barack Obama’s first ad on National Security. As it includes Republican Senator Dick Lugar, it’s a pretty strong ad, especially as Mr. Lugar called the ad ‘accurate.’

Another Southern state looks to be getting closer. This time, it is the state of South Carolina, a state that Obama doesn’t seem set to win but a state that he could certainly make a play for.
A new PPP poll shows John McCain now leading Obama by just 6 points in the state. […]
The John McCain campaign showed its true colors this week, and the results are quite disturbing, even by McCain standards.
In 2000, the avid John McCain backer that I was hit the streets and canvassed for a sensible and moderate Republican, one who opposed the troublesome sounding George W. Bush. While I was right […]
Over the last few weeks, I moved the state of Wisconsin from “Toss-Up” to “Leans Obama” to “Obama Safe.”
For awhile, it looked like McCain had a chance of giving Obama a run for his money in WI and MN, but those days seem long gone. Another new poll out of Wisconsin, this time from […]
Uh-oh. PR control, PR control.
John McCain has been attached to Phil Gramm for much of this campaign as the former Senator acts as one of McCain’s economic advisers.
Trouble is, today, in an interview with The Washington Times, Phil Gramm accused that nation of being ‘whiners’ over the bad economy. Gramm wonderfully points out […]
The DNC has put up a ‘in his own words’ type attack against John McCain. It seems every time you ask him, he’s got a different estimate on when we’ll be out of Iraq. Is it me, or is he more wishy-washy than an oil speculator?

Brave New Films is out with another new video going after Fox News for their blatant propaganda attacks on Michelle Obama.

The AFL-CIO is going up with negative spots on John McCain tomorrow in six states, Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. (Notice the ad time that’s being spent in Virginia these days?)
The following is a simple yet strong ad. Featuring a Vietnam War, it says it’s not John McCain’s war background that matters but […]
As I laughed off the RNC attack ad this weekend saying that John McCain would be the one to bring about real energy change, the Obama campaign has responded on their own. Here’s their ad, one that clearly tries to pound home the fact that John McCain = George W. If they’re only able to […]
A Christian group has gone on the attack today. The result? A horribly offensive black-facing of Uncle Sam to make him look more like Barack.
View the image here.
The group is coming out to call Obama the “Abortion President.” The Christian Defense Coalition launched this racist one sheet that announces, “I Want You To Pay For […]
In my weekly Monday update surveying the national polls, Barack Obama’s lead has falled one point, now down to a five point lead from 6. This week, I now have Obama up 49-44. Last week, the numbers stood at 50-44.
The RealClearPolitics Average has Obama’s lead still at 6 points, 49-43. View the chart of […]
Barack Obama has been known to draw in some pretty large crowds. When he appeared with Oprah, he filled half a football field.
Well, now, apparently, they think they can fill a whole one.
The Democratic Convention in Denver is scheduled to occur in the Pepsi Center, a normal convention type place that holds […]
