Hmmm

Will you also go with McCain?

BT: I am. Thirty-five years I voted Democrat, I'm voting for John McCain. I'd rather have four years of John McCain and the same and have a chance that Hillary will come back and win than have Barack Obama, who talked about change and hope with no substance. I'd just rather have McCain in. I think we have a better chance with McCain on terrorism.

Black Republicans PAC

The New Black Republicans PAC ad on Obama. I have a feeling infanticide will strike alot of moderate voters this year.

A Whole New Ballgame

After weeks of Barack Obama's gaffes, flip flops, out of control surrogates and just his awful policy in general, the polls are starting to close in. The glow of the poat nomination win seems to have warn off, and the bloom seems to be off the Obama rose, as evidenced by the RCP poll average, which was near a seven point difference just a couple weeks ago, moving all the way down to four, including a flatfooted tie in today's Rasmussen Daily Tracker.

As the American people learn more about both candidates, including how dishonest and utterly unqualified Barack Obama is, I expect this to continue to shrink, leading up to the Republican National Convention in September.

Obama and McConnell on Gas PSerices

Senator Barack Obama on why he wants higher gas prices.



Senator Mitch McConnell in response.

Mario Cuomo

It's pretty bottom of the barrel when your taking your material from the "esteemed" Governor Cuomo.

Congratulations Senator Obama

I'd like to offer my congratulations to Senator Barack Obama on winning the nomination of the Democratic Party. It is a massive accomplishment to be the first African-American to be nominated by a major political party, and regardless of what you may think of the man, he deserves plenty of credit for defeating the seemingly unbeatable Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.

I look forward to a spirited general election, hopefully one where Senator Obama is more open, honest and forthright with the American people than he has been up until this point.

Without Preconditions

The new RNC web ad that states Barack Obama's foreign policy, with everyone from Harold Ford to Joe Biden to Tom Daschle pointing out how stupid it is.

Is a New Wind Blowing in Carolina?

Hillary Clinton: 44%
Barack Obama: 42%

Very interesting.

Nancy's Got Some Gas

Apparently gas that she pays a dollar less than everyone else to buy. And people mocked Bush.



Larry King tried to correct her and she just kept plowing on.

Maybe this is why Obama doesn't want a gas tax holiday...

Jimmy Carter

...

In a democracy, I realize you don't need to talk to the top leader to know how the country feels," he said over the weekend, responding to a question from an Israeli journalist who noted that Mr. Carter had been snubbed by most of Israel's top leadership and reprimanded by its president, Shimon Peres. "When I go to a dictatorship, I only have to talk to one person and that's the dictator, because he speaks for all the people.

What the hell?

And while Barack Obama seems to arbitrarily draw the line at Hamas on his proposed Madmen World Tour, its pretty clear that these men agree a lot more than they disagree on these matters.

God help us all if the Leader of the New Hope, Carter, and their sheep manage to lie their way past John McCain in November.

NEW YORK?

Could McCain win my home state of New York?

Personally, I'd bet heavily against it, but B4M has a link to a Marist College study that shows a John McCain/Condoleezza Rice ticket beating both Clinton/Obama and Obama/Clinton in New York. Losing New York would be an absolute deathblow to the Democrats, and would, In my opinion, probably indicate that we're looking at a landslide of Mondalian proportions.

I still wouldn't hold my breath, but just looking at that is pretty amazing.

MASSACHUSETTS?

From SurveyUSA's polls last week.

I think this might suggest that the most elite of the limousine liberals aren't quite as "enlightened" as they want to think they are.

If John McCain wins Massachusetts, turn out the lights, Barry, the party's over.

Rasmussen, Mississippi and the new blogs

I'm sure anyone that actually reads this blog knows by now that I'm now a contributor to Blogs for McCain and Blogs for John McCain's Victory. I'm still going to post at this blog, mostly Rasmussen polls and whatever idle thoughts may come to my mind that I don't necessarily think deserve their own posts on the big blogs. I have an Eliot Spitzer post planned soon for here.

Tonight is the Republican (and Democratic, for that matter) primary in Mississippi. Obviously it means nothing, but it will be interesting to see what percentage John actually pulls in. Being the first big primary (he won Guam on the 8th) after wrapping up the nomination, this could have some Vice Presidential selection implications. If Huckabee still gets a sizable protest vote like in Texas, I'm sure the McCain Campaign will seriously consider adding a Haley Barbour type.

The Rasmussen Numbers over the past two days are swinging back in our favor after a poor week. He's now tied with both Clinton and Obama. He was losing to both (within the margin of error) on Sunday.
