Friday Polls – Obama is ahead

I was over on FiveThirtyEight.com and was looking at the polls. Quite frankly, What I am seeing astounds me. Surprise

Here’s the summary of the latest polls:

Like I wrote earlier, I was not surprised that John McCain pulled out of Michigan.  I knew he was doing bad here, I just was not aware how bad he was doing here. According to this site; Obama is at 89% and McCain is at only 11%. Good Godfrey! No Wonder he left! Doh

In fairness, Obama has pulled out of states too, but not any of the important battleground states like Michigan. No one, has ever done that before, ever.

Another Tidbit of news, there are some here in Michigan within the Republican Party that are not amused that John McCain decided to pack it in so early. Mark Hemingway at the National Review Online’s Blog “The Corner” reports that Chuck Yob, a former Republican National Committee Member from Michigan for nearly twenty years sent out the following letter:

Governor Palin,

I saw your comments on Fox News today and described in the Detroit Free Press article below.  I wholeheartedly agree with you that the decision by the McCain campaign to pull out of Michigan was the wrong decision.

We have all been wrong at times, and I think this is a decision that will be corrected in a couple of weeks.  We were ahead three points as of a week ago according to MRG, a polling firm that I trust more than any national pollster.

I talked to Michigan Republicans and McCain supporters on a conferencecall last night and they vowed to redouble their efforts.  Indeed, there will still be a campaign for John McCain in Michigan whether it is sanctioned by the professionals in Washington DC or not.

Senator McCain has great appeal to Michigan voters dating back to his 2000 campaign.  He is a Maverick, independent-minded leader who has bipartisan appeal to the voters of our state.  He is the perfect Presidential candidate for Michigan.

I also strongly believe that you are the best possible Vice Presidential choice for Michigan.  You kicked Joe Biden’s butt in the debate yesterday by showing your blue collar appeal and highlighting why Senator McCain’s plans for tax cuts, increased energy supply, and strong foreign policy are what is needed for our country’s future. 

We also know that Obama’s tax increases, $1 trillion spending promises, and willingness to befriend dangerous rouge leaders is not the right prescription for our problems.

Democrats have failed the workers of Michigan.  Michigan voters know that when Jennifer Granholm increased taxes it cost Michigan jobs. Michigan voters know when Kwame Kilpatrick promised new leadership for Detroit it led to failure.  Most importantly, Michigan voters know that Barack Obama’s association with Bill Ayers, Tony Rezko, and other questionable individuals had important roles in developing his worldview that is dangerous for our future.

I agree with what you said on Fox News today and I hereby invite you to come to Michigan immediately.  The good people of Macomb County, Northern Michigan, the Upper Peninsula, and Grand Rapids await your response.

Your Friend and Loyal Supporter of McCain-Palin 2008,

Chuck Yob

Michigan Co-Chairman

McCain-Palin 2008

Republican National Committee Member 1989-2008

Former Vice Chairman, Republican National Committee

PS:      I look forward to talking to you and Senator McCain about this. 

PSS:   We have MANY requests for Todd to come to Michigan.

Something tells me, and I do not claim to be a political expert, pundit or anything else. But my gut tells me that McCain just made a serious tactical error in throwing in the towel here. I believe it will cost him votes come November. The Conservative base here in Michigan might be small and not a forceful as Democratic Party’s base. But they are a force to be dealt with and will not forget McCain’s abandonment of this state anytime soon.

Just another comedy of errors from that Campaign. The only problem is, this is a real election and not a comedy sketch.

My thoughts on the Debates

I personally think the debate was draw. I am not in the tank for either, so, I cannot sit here and lie to you.

Yes, there were gaffes on both sides. Palin, at times, did not even answer questions by the moderators. She also took a rather nasty swipe at Biden about his family in the military.

Also, a rather disconcerting event took place last night. When Biden got emotional about his wife and son who died in a car accident. There were some on a unnamed blog that mocked this in their debate chatroom.  I brought it up to two of the moderators in the room in private and of course, both claimed not to see it. I was not amused. Angry I know Liberals do it, does that still make it right? No. To be fair to Ed, it was not his normal crowd that meets at 3:00p.m. weekdays. But still, someone was asleep at the switch and that was not a good thing.

Anyhow, the bottom line is, that Biden did not do anything that hurt Barack’s campaign, neither did Palin, I think. So, as far I am concerned, it was a draw.

Great Local News: Threaten a Conservative Blogger? Land your sorry butt in JAIL!

Finally, justice has been served. Color me a very, very happy camper!

Via The Detroit Free Press:

A federal judge today sentenced a Dearborn restaurant cook to 8 months in prison for e-mailing death threats to conservative TV commentator and blogger Debbie Schlussel.

“I find it abhorrent,” U.S. District Judge Marianne Battani told Mohamad Fouad Abdallah, 40, of two e-mails he sent to Schlussel one minute apart in August 2006.

Schlussel, who lives in Oakland County, is an outspoken critic of what she calls government tolerance of Islamic extremists in the United States. She told Battani that the e-mails, in which Abdallah used sexist and Anti-Semitic remarks against her and threatened to rape and blow her up, had caused her to fear for her safety and become somewhat of a hermit.

The e-mails were prompted by views she expressed on her Web site, http://www.debbieschlussel.com . On her Web site, she refers to Dearborn as “Dearbornistan.”

She urged Battani to sentence Abdallah to the maximum 12 months in prison on the misdemeanor charge — interfering with Schlussel’s federally-protected activities. He pleaded guilty in June.

One of the e-mails said Hizballah, a Lebanese group that the U.S. State Department has designated a terrorist group, “is awesome.”

Abdallah, breathing from an oxygen tank, told Battani he was ashamed of what he had done and that he has suffered health problems ever since. Schlussel called the oxygen tank a prop and accused him of trying to gain sympathy from the judge.

Battani ordered Abdallah to undergo mental health and diversity training after getting out of prison. She lectured him about teaching fear, murder and intolerance to his 9-year-old daughter.

As I said over on Debbie’s Blog, this sentence was not nearly long enough. Further more, I hope the bastard rag-headed son of a bitch DIES in prison. Anyone who would threaten a blogger, much less a female blogger, does not deserve to live. He received exactly what was coming to him. However, I believe he should have received at least 10 years or more. Angry

Now, if we could just round up the rest of the idiot internet trolls, like these internet terrorists here, then my life would perfect. Hey Debbie, want to help out a fellow Conservative? Devil

Presidential Debate Moderator in the tank for Obama

It appears that the liberal media’s bias towards Obama is now leaking into the supposed apolitical world of Presidential debates.

Michelle Malkin has dutifully recorded the fact that the moderator of these upcoming debates is seriously in the tank of Obama. I guess we can forget about any serious questions being asked of Joe Biden, about his ties to lobbyists. I also suppose we can expect all sort of stupid “Gotcha” questions to Palin and will see a concentrated effort to make Sarah Palin look like some sort of a buffoon.  

There’s one thing in Michelle’s article that I very much disagree with, trust me, it is not what you think….:

Like Obama, Ifill, who is black, is quick to play the race card at the first sign of criticism. In an interview with the Washington Post a few weeks ago, she carped: “[N]o one’s ever assumed a white reporter can’t cover a white candidate.”

It’s not the color of your skin, sweetie. It’s the color of your politics. Perhaps Ifill will be able to conceal it this week. But if the “stunning” “Breakthrough” she’s rooting for comes to pass on January 20, 2009, nobody will be fooled.

Michelle, I must respectfully disagree with you assessment here. This is all about skin color. Why do I say this? I will tell you why, because there is an unwritten code amongst the African-American race. It is summed up in the ghetto-type statement, and that statement is:

“A Brother just don’t cut another Brother”

In educated normal American English, that is translated as such:

“An African-American does not stab another African-American in the back”

The point that I am trying to make here is this, if you believe that there will be any sort of legitimate debate here, without bias or favoritism towards the Democrats and more importantly towards Barack Obama’s running mate, you are very highly mistaken.

This unwritten rule dates back to the days of slavery. When a black slave would do something wrong, the White slave owners would question, to find out who did the offense, often so they could beat the slave. Because the black slaves did not want the fellow slave to be beaten, they would not “fess up.” This is where this and the whole “stop snitching” doctrine did originate.

This is not about racism, this about historic facts. Putting another African-America as the moderator of this Presidential debate, would be like asking David Duke to preside over a trial of white supremacists.

New Video: Vets for freedom Ad to air in California

This ad is to Air in California:

Text from the Site:

Today Vets for Freedom released “Skipped” as part of a continuing campaign to urge Senator Obama to tell the Truth about the Surge and fully acknowledge U.S. success in Iraq. The $2.2 million dollar statewide television advertising campaign is VFF’s largest expenditure in a single state buy thus far on this issue. The ad will air in California on October 1st and run through October 9th.


Senator Obama repeatedly denies that the surge worked, contradicting reports from top commanders on the ground in Iraq, yet has only been to Iraq twice and has missed countless votes regarding the mission. VFF released “Skipped” to underscore Senator Obama’s failure to be informed of the situation in Iraq and Afghanistan in order to ask him, and Congress, to support passage of legislation in the U.S. Senate that recognizes the success of the surge and our troops

Click here to read Sen. Resolution 636.

Click here to read Sen. Obama’s previous statements about the surge.

I just wonder if the “Magic one” will try and employ his goon squads to silence these commercials too? Oh, I forgot this discussion is not helping Michelle Obama’s brat kids.

I guess I’ll let that little nugget out of the bag. A few days ago, I received an e-mail from a source, which I will never reveal, letting me know, that I, as a Blogger, should not buy the lie that Obama’s two girls are darling children. The truth is, both of those girls are nothing more than snotty nosed little harpy brats. In fact, one reporter tried “Correcting” them for something they did and the Obama campaign threatened to have that person tossed off the plane. So, a word to the wise. Don’t believe everything read about this man and his family.

Shocka! The Media is in the tank for Obama!!!!

Well, Maybe not…. (On the shock, that is….)

Instapundit.com:

A READER AT A MAJOR NEWSROOM EMAILS: “Off the record, every suspicion you have about MSM being in the tank for O is true. We have a team of 4 people going thru dumpsters in Alaska and 4 in arizona. Not a single one looking into Acorn, Ayers or Freddiemae. Editor refuses to publish anything that would jeopardize election for O, and betting you dollars to donuts same is true at NYT, others. People cheer when CNN or NBC run another Palin-mocking but raising any reasonable inquiry into obama is derided or flat out ignored. The fix is in, and its working.” I asked permission to reprint without attribution and it was granted.

I take it that I am supposed to be shocked and surprised? Hardly. Considering what has taken place in the past 8 years with this Presidential Administration, I am surprised that the Liberal Media has not trotted out some person claiming that McCain molested them, when they were a kid or something obscene of that effect.

Before anyone gives me any static, I’ll be the first to admit, I am not, nor have I ever been a Bush fan, at all. No, I don’t suffer from BDS. But his spending like a drunken Sailor and big government horseshit, just does not appeal to this Libertarian Conservative, and I’ll be happy to tell someone who has a problem with that, to go jump in the lake.

One was enough, Thank you very much….

Via WDIV Detroit: (and Confirmed in the Detroit News)

DETROIT, Mich. — This February Detroiters may see a familiar name on the special primary election ballot.Coleman A. Young Jr. wants to follow his famous father’s footsteps, and run for Detroit mayor.He is the son of late Mayor Coleman A. Young Sr., who was Detroit’s first black mayor, and served from 1974 to 1993.

Young Jr. turns 26 in October, and if elected he would be the youngest mayor in Detroit’s history. He vows to continue his father’s legacy of being the “People’s Champion.

“Young Jr. is a state representative in the 4th District of the House.He moved back to Detroit in 2005 after spending several years on the East Coast, doing some acting.

The Good Lord above knows that the last thing that Detroit needs is another Coleman Young running Detroit. Democrat Coleman Young’s corruption is stuff of legend. I know, I’ve lived in the Detroit area, all my life. I lived in Detroit for 19 years of my life. I saw Coleman Young’s way of running a city. One word sums it up: Disaster.

Quoting the Detroit News:

But critics like political consultant Adolph Mongo say Young is not ready for prime time and should take more time to learn.

“I worked for his father. I knew Coleman Young,” Mongo said. “And he’s no Coleman Young. Coleman Young had a lifetime of dealing with politicians
and social issues. He needs to sit down somewhere and get some experience.”

[…]

Bill Ballenger, editor of the newsletter Inside Michigan Politics, said Young “might do a lot better than a lot of people think” in a
mayoral race.

“He has some of his father’s pizzazz,” Ballenger said Monday. “I wouldn’t underestimate him, but I wouldn’t tap him as  the favorite, either.”

I can almost see it now. The man loses and what does he do? Pull the race card. But then again, we are talking about Democrat’s they do the identity politics thing, very well.

Please, anyone, but him. 🙄

Amazing: WorldNetDaily proves Barack Obama right!

Amazing

Of course, other Blogs like Hotair and Macsmind will say, "Oh, WND cannot be trusted."

Kudo’s to Farah for getting this story.

What I am referring to is, that Barack Obama is constantly said, and even said during the debate that Al-Qaeda is back to pre-9/11 status and strength. Which McCain and other Neo-Cons Deny.
