Earth to Steve, big difference in just going along with a clerical error and propagating a lie to deliberately game the system.

Well, our liberals have finally caught up with the Communist Chinese. Don't want a girl? Kill it in the womb. And all because a few idiots on the Supreme Court a few decades ago decided to issue an insanely stupid decision. Legal is not the same as moral. The Nazi's passed laws to make the extermination of Jews legal. This is very much the same thing.

Don't discount the Left's abilities in this medium. The Huffington Post is just one example of very successful use by the left of new media. I love it when non-military organizations / pundits try to adapt purely military concepts to non-military apps. There is always something lost in the translation. What is lost in this context is plan to exploit the weakness caused by being inside of an adversaries loop. I do not see the Republican party (not to be confused with Romney's campaign) taking advantage of Romney getting inside the loop. It's June, and inaction by the pachyderms in exploiting the advantage as soon as it is realized is telling. The elephants do not have the ability to go for the kill. Sad.

I am a sane person and I do blame a vast segment of the black community, which freely admits they voted for Obama for the sole reason he is black. (Can you say Will Smith, Samuel L. Jackson, Colin Powell, ........?)

The country is stupid. That's how come an attorney general can follow racist policies (would not let a black community in South Carolina remove party affiliation on the ballot because doing that would discriminate against the historical affiliation blacks have with the Democrat party) without being run out of town on a rail. Holder is despicable, but so is the voting base of the Democrat party. They embrace thuggery. Its how they keep their coalition together.

Well, you have to look at historical trends in the confidence meter. If the average deviation from month to month is 1 point or less, a drop of 3 plus points would be considered a plunge.

In 1980 there was still a semblance of an educational system in the United States, less than 30% of the population was on the public dole (51% today), the population dynamics (minorities vote in much larger numbers for Democrats) had 50% fewer Hispanics than today and a higher percentage of white to blacks in the population (and blacks voted 97% for Democrats in the last election. My logic actually takes into accounts changes in the US that have occurred since Jimmy was booted out. Your point is based on the assumption we are the same country we were 32 years ago. We are not, so yours is the "logic" that does not hold water.

An article about mushy reporting based on anecdotes, observations of reporters and guesses. No real data here to suggest the Pacyderms have a real shot at beating the power of the vote of the ignorant. Not one of Barone's best efforts at examining the true nature of the political landscape. Might be a little early yet for that, but this is the sort of article you write when you don't have anything concrete to show your side is gaining ground.

The premise of this article is that enough people in the US, who are paying attention to markets, state debt and employment trends, will leave Obama and vote for someone else. This is an interesting intellectual drill that ignores the one, constant dynamic in American politics that got us where we are right now, people are stupid. Obama has a better than even chance of being re-elected because of that dynamic.

Why do that? We don't require proof of citizenship to vote, we allow dead people to vote. Our elections process is so corrupt it makes a mockery of the results. Can you say ACORN?
