Now surfaces an audio tape of Barack Obama discussing the failings of the civil rights movement, one of which was failure to secure “redistributive change.” Have a listen.

“If you’ll stand with me, then I know that we can win Virginia and we can win this election and we can finally bring the change we need to Washington,” Obama told the estimated crowd of 35,000. “I feel like we got a righteous wind at our backs here.“ I think there some wind, but I don’t think it’s righteous and it’s not very sweet | Read More »

Those folks lucky enough to have benefitted from a 19th century education sure had a way with words. Take this quote from William Graham Sumner: “They are always under the dominion of the superstition of government, and forgetting that a government produces nothing at all, they leave out of sight the first fact to be remembered in all social discussion — that the state cannot | Read More »

I found this article at Newsmax.com, Zogby: McCain is gaining, Race tightens. Here’s the part I found interesting: Obama continues to win 18% support among conservative voters, while McCain wins only seven percent among liberals. Among moderates, a demographic that includes substantially more Democrats than Republicans, Obama leads, 61% to 33% for McCain. Really?

From the Wall Street Journal: The Obama campaign is now distancing itself from Acorn, claiming Mr. Obama never organized with it and has nothing to do with illegal voter registration. Yet it’s disingenuous to channel cash into an operation with a history of fraud and then claim you’re shocked to discover reports of fraud. As with Rev. Jeremiah Wright and William Ayers, Mr. Obama was | Read More »

I’ve been thinking about Rev. Wright and Obama’s claim that he never heard him preaching anything hateful. Of course, I don’t believe that but there is a point to be made beyond the Reverend himself. I don’t know about you, but I attend church and I also socialize with the people I know from church. Why is that? Because I have chosen to attend church | Read More »

I don’t know about anyone else, but the economy is not the “it” issue for me. I’m much more concerned about national security. What the he!! difference does it make if my stocks are doing well if I have to worry about homicide bombers at the grocery store? I understand that people worry about losing their jobs and homes but seriously I would rather be | Read More »

First Coast News Interview with Sarah Palin Dang it, though! They cut it off just before the answer I really wanted to hear. How do you think she answered? My guess is, “Oh, you know, you can’t really worry about what people are saying about you.” No whiner here.

Can someone please explain for me how weighting affects poll numbers? I see on the Rasmussen site: Like all polling firms, Rasmussen Reports weights its data to reflect the population at large (see methodology). Among other targets, Rasmussen Reports weights data by political party affiliation using a dynamic weighting process. During the final two months of Election 2008, party weighting targets are updated each Sunday | Read More »

I’m not familiar with John Friedman, so I don’t know if this little bit from CBS News online is intended seriously or tongue-in-cheek: Gibson, as dignified a newsperson as America has now, treated Palin fairly and didn’t resort to hectoring her with “gotcha” questions, either. Palin’s supporters may be chagrined that their candidate didn’t sound more self-assured or expert when she discussed Alaska’s relationship to | Read More »
