Yes, Blue Dogs are often a problem. A much larger Democratic majority will, in
combination with a progressive president, carry the day. A large election
mandate will surely encourage the Blue Dogs to be less of a problem. My recall
is that there have been several Bush appointees rejected by the Democrats
but not enough of them. I'm sure that you can agree that a hefty Democratic
majority with a strong presidential mandate will vastly improve the performance
we both seek. Ron

"RNC spokesman Alex Conant, who said earlier that Obama's mistake raised questions about his "readiness to lead", moderates a bit: "At times it appears that Barack Obama inaccurately recalls his own history and American history, so it’s important that we point to the facts. In this case, we’re happy to see that he took the time to set the record straight."
So if I put 2 and 2 together, RNC says Obama isn't ready to lead because he confused Auschwitz and Orduf but McCain can't keep the time line straight between the Anbar Awakening and the surge, which was what, 18 months ago to two years ago?. Guess by that standard, McCain isn't ready to lead either.
I'm getting more disillusioned every day.
Imagine we have found the will to piss away $3 trillion on a war and can't find money for health care for all. I read somewhere recently a right winger saying we can't have universal health care because there would be too many people waiting. Maybe if doctors had time to treat patients and not fill out bullshit forms for the Insurance companies they could actually practice their craft. A lot will also depend on who he puts into key positions like Attorney General, Vice President, etc. Interesting times.
I don't pay any attention to national polls, especially at this point. State by state is more to the point and even then, I am leery. I would be surprised if Obama actually wins California by 24 points, for instance, as the recent Field Poll suggests. He's going to win the state, and by a comfortable margin, but, although I would love it, I doubt the 24 points.
I would be interested to see what others have to say, too.
subjective and " results" can be influenced by many factors if that is the intent.
When called for poll particiapation I always ask the caller who is paying for
the poll. Always the response is they don't know. This lack of clarity of $
source is disturbing and may indeed reflect bias. So I agree that polls are
highly suspect and empirical evidence is probably a better indicator.
Here's where the media come in as they too can shape their work to favor their
bias. It's a tough call to get accurate information. Ron

to your attention some very recent comments on Americablog tonight regarding
the issue ( polling ) we've been discussing. If you put 1+1 together we may
have uncovered the Rove plan for stealing the next ( 3rd) election.. Control
( buy ) the polls so there is a perception of a close race and then, with
the help of the large corporations which make and can control the new voting
machines, theft of the election can be effected. A one-two punch to = another
election theft. That's how the theft of Ohio was carried out in 2004 by the
then Republican Secretary of State in Ohio. So the Republicans already have
experience with theft of elections and may just refine their methodologgy for
2008..Hopefully, the DNC and local Democrats will get the word on this and
thwart it. It is rather easy to thwart it. First, some indenpendent
pollsters start releasing accurate results to eliminate the created perception of a
close race. Secondly, paper trails or recorders at key polling places to
validate honest machines which have not been tampered with by Diebold. Best,
Ron

Yes, election theft is a terrible thought. I hope and pray the Obama campaign is on it.

Seems he was quite taken with Obama.
And I think Jewish American are taking that and the deeply respectful and powerful pictures of Obama visiting the site and laying the wreath with them more then the lowlife attacks, which are coming more and more desperate each day, from McCain.
Obama has said he will not attack his rival from overseas and will not respond until he is home. But, this will be in his favor when he points out how he was respecting the 'water's edge' and McCain was out of control.
Actually, Obama doesn't have to say anything. McCain has become a joke all on his own and democrats know this.
