Tech at Night: DRM, Google, Wikileaks, Dingell, North Korea, Free Press
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | July 29th at 02:59 AM |
A key story from today centers on John Dingell and his criticism of Chairman Julius Genachowski and the Obama FCC. Hillicon Valley reports that Dingell is criticizing the Commission harshly for failing to justify its Title II Reclassification plans to Deem and Pass Net Neutrality regulation of the Internet, and is telling them to stop and let the Congress do its job. Seriously, this is | Read More »

Dudley’s lead confirmed
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | July 28th at 11:00 AM |
From Unlikely Voter: We’re now at three polls in a row, counting the new Rasmussen, that show Chris Dudley ahead of John Kitzhaber in Oregon. Even without a third party candidate mucking up the poll, the Democrat just can’t pull ahead.
Dueling polls in New Mexico
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | July 27th at 03:30 PM |
From Unlikely Voter: Much like New Hampshire I’ve covered previously, New Mexico was the site of big wins for Democrats in recent years, wiping out the Republican Party. But now a SurveyUSA poll for KOB of the first Congressional District has Democrat Martin Heinrich so worried, he’s put out an internal poll in response.
Pomeroy’s not finished yet
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | July 27th at 03:30 PM |
From Unlikely Voter: Today is apparently the day for House races, because we have another one to look into: the North Dakota at-large race. We’ve looked at this race before, and it wasn’t promising for incumbent Democrat Earl Pomeroy, but right now he seems to be closing into Republican challenger Rick Berg.
Babs Boxer: Being a Senator is as tough as being a soldier
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | July 27th at 03:41 AM |
It’s no wonder Madam Senator Barbara Boxer (Democrat-California) demands to be called Senator: She thinks it’s a pretty tough job. In fact, she thinks it’s as tough as being “a policeman or a fireman or a veteran.” It gets better, too. She says “the pressure” that she and Maxine Waters feel creates the same bonding that the aforementioned police, fire, and military volunteers endure and | Read More »
Tech at Night: Google, Apple, RIM, Al Franken
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | July 27th at 03:28 AM |
Good evening. Sure, it’s technically morning, but when I went to post tonight I realized I had nothing queued up to write about, so I had to make a crash run through my news feeds before I could get started. But get started we shall tonight with Apple and the Library of Congress. The Library of Congress is apparently entrusted with setting rules for what | Read More »

Haslam shows all around lead in Tennessee
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | July 26th at 01:00 PM |
From UnlikelyVoter: Tennessee is the state that most moved away from the Democrats in 2008 at the national level. Barack Obama ran worse there against John McCain than John Kerry did against George Bush. The Republican trend there seems to continue as Mason-Dixon’s poll of the Governor’s race there for The Tennessean shows every Republican on top.
Tech at Night: Amazon, San Francisco, Free Press, FCC, Google
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | July 23rd at 11:00 PM |
It’s Friday evening, and mentally I’ve almost checked out for the weekend, but I still have a lot to get through here, so let’s get going before I zone out with some Horatio Hornblower (a series I’ll start on this weekend thanks to a neat site called Age of Sail). One big story is that Amazon may be trying to broker a Net Neutrality compromise. | Read More »

Cook updates on the House
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | July 23rd at 04:00 PM |
A simulation of the 2010 House races as charted by the Cook Political Report follows, but right here is all you need to know about who’s favored: Democrats currently have 66 seats listed as Lean or Toss Up. Republicans currently have 7 seats listed as Lean or Toss Up. Oh and on top of the 66, there are 2 seats held by Democrats which are | Read More »
Florida Senate Update
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | July 23rd at 02:00 PM |
We have a pair of polls to look at updating us on the Florida Senate race, a general election carpet bomb from Rasmussen, and a peek at the race between the Democrats in the primary from PPP. Unfortunately, what we don’t have is any clarity.
Abortion will not drive California elections this year
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | July 22nd at 03:00 PM |
The Orange County Register ran a doom and gloom article on abortion, saying that a Field Poll release suggests abortion will drive statewide elections this year. This is important because Carly Fiorina is a three-exception pro-life Republican. But there’s one big, honking problem with that theory, and the Register‘s Dena Bunis even mentions it: Among Boxer supporters, 82 percent support abortion rights. Of those who | Read More »
Tech at Night: FCC, Jim DeMint, Google, Free Press, Darrell Issa
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | July 22nd at 12:00 AM |
Good evening. Once again we see shoddy thinking from the FCC as they continue the push for the National Broadband Plan. Not all Americans have equal access to high speed Internet connections they complain, ignoring the fact that some Americans choose to live out in the middle of nowhere, and that choice comes with costs. Chairman Julius Genachowski and the rest of his socialist team | Read More »

Gallup caught lying about the generic ballot trend [Updated 6PM ET]
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | July 21st at 06:00 PM |
[6PM ET update after 12PM ET original post at the bottom of this post] The Gallup Generic Ballot is a trusted, widely reported resource. I’ve analyzed it extensively, and defended it to others. But yesterday, when I covered the poll’s latest release, Gallup lied. I was lied to, you were lied to, everyone who’s trusted the Gallup name got lied to. How? Gallup is combining | Read More »
More good news for Rob Portman
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | July 21st at 02:39 PM |
Since I tried to tell Rob Portman his business, and suggested he was emphasizing the wrong issues in his campaign, two polls have come out covering the Ohio Senate race. Both by Rasmussen, the late June poll had Portman up 4, and now Rasmussen’s July poll has Portman up 6. I clearly picked the wrong moment to speak up!
Rasmussen and Gallup generic ballots diverge
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | July 20th at 11:00 PM |
Until now, Gallup and Rasmussen Reports have generally pointed in the same direction with their generic ballot polls. If they’ve differed, it’s been in the magnitude. This week, that has changed. How big a difference is it, and what does the Swingometer say about it all? Let’s find out.
