Obama hits 50% again in the Gallup.

Stick a fork in McBush?

Palin:
"You can even play stump the candidate if you want to."

I finally figured out what was so dang familar to me about the way she talks and acts.

Right down to her "Lucy, you got some 'splainin' to do!" sputtering we're seeing now for the first time.

Pres '08 Sep 17 ARG Obama (D) 82%, McCain (R) 13%

John McCain: "We are SO F'd"

I have no good sources for this quote, but trust me, it's true.

LOL!

Surprise, Repubs!

527's are on the attack - but not against Obama, which is what MSM has been predicting for months, but against McBush!!

The ex-POW who describes McBush as reckless and dangerous is now featured in a 527 attack ad. That's right a 527 attack ad in exactly the Rove mode of operation, but AGAINST Mr. POW himself!

It Proclaims"

"McCain Unfit to Lead."

In EXACTLY those words. Sound familiar, Repubs???? LOL

The next thing that will happen is MSM will echo that ad, with stories about how Kerry was attack the same way.

Meanwhile, in delicious irony, immediately after that ad ran on CNN, CNN continued it's interview with someone they falsely describe as "a Democratic Pollster" who started to rip into Obama as "falling behind in the polls" (which is clearly false to begin with) "because he is perceived as soft because he is on the defensive all the time now."

Absolutely hilarious. One could only hope that a monitor was playing for that "Democratic Pollster" so that he was able to think about it as he read those words on the teleprompter.

What can McCain going to do about this ad?

1) It features a fellow POW, so he can't POW his way out of it, although he will try.

2) He will try to claim that Obama is running a nasty campaign, but the charge will run hollow. (shameless, bald-faced plug: see my previous blog entitled, "Obama has this timed perfectly" LOL)

3) He will try to claim it is shameful "lies" but MSM is going to, in turn, recite the "lies" that McBush himself has been spouting. (It was very important for Obama to wait for McBush to repeat those lies HIMSELF, so that he can't now claim that "other people" were responsible for the lies, not him - a defense that many "pundits" are still trying to claim on behalf of McBush - as in: "McBush is FAR too honorable a man to be campaigning with lies!!!" arguments that are now very easily countered with ACTUAL VIDEO CLIPS FROM LAST WEEK!!

In other words, despite the fact that the McBush campaign has been desperately keeping both of their lying candidates as far away from interviews as possible, McCain's dismal appearance on "The View" is going to help him go down in flames along with Palin's performance, increasingly viewed as stilted and contrived, in that "Charlie" interview. By providing proof that the McBush/Palin is PERSONALLY running a foul campaign.

Just think of how long the late night shows are going to enjoy telling Palin jokes with "Charlie" in every punch line! LOL

Meanwhile, Obama will be truthfully saying that "he did everything he could to discourage 527's from putting up attack ads in his favor." It no longer matters whether he is telling the truth about that, since he has SUCCESSFULLY BRANDED McCain as a nasty liar running a dirty campaign.

Watch how Obama will now indignantly demand that their 527's now be shut down (having beat McBush to the punch LOL). I love it! (see "timed perfectly" for why I love this! LOL)

McBush/Pale-in' have been played by the master playa.

They won't even know what hit them. They bite hard and now Obama is reelin' 'em in nice and slow. They'll struggle mightily, but in the end they will end up gutted, stuffed, mounted, and finally HUNG over Obama's fireplace. LOL

No, HUNG is not evidence that I am being sexist OR racist. Honest injun squaw. LOL

From the Huffpost:

Is this guy laughing is ass off at the ignorant MSM that he is able to manipulate so easily, or what?

What loses.

Watch McBush either:

1) Make a big show out of firing one of his "advisors" (handlers) and trying to put all the blame on that person for the lying sack of sheep that McBush has proven himself to be.

OR

2) They will just keep on keeping on.

Either way figure McBush to:

3) Say that Obama "brought this on himself" because OBAMA is actually the one who is racist and sexist and a liar and McBush is only reacting to that with "great reluctance".

Completely fictional and reprehensible representation of McBush's views:
"And by the way, he CAN TO send email!!! And he knows the INTERNETS even better than that Bush fellow. Obama's just making fun of his "WAR INJURIES!!! EVERONE knows that 40 year old shoulder injuries make computer work impossible!! Which everyone knows is the real test of whether one can be a great President or not since I'm a POW POW POW!! The cad.

There's not even a word for that like racist and sexist and liar and his financial advisor, Alan Greenspan, says that he will wreck the economy!! No, no, no don't listen to those liars say that Greenspan was MY advisor, no, those are lies. And I never said that I have his book, and besides everyone knows that I don't actually read anything.  And, and, and, I'm out of breath. Weeeooooo..   ppuff, puff.  Where's my cane, dammit!!? No, no, I don't need the wheelchair and oxygen this time, you CANT!!"

Politco's idiotic article is also in the Yahoo headline list.

1) They state "pulled ahead" as fact when it isn't a fact.

He hasn't actually pulled ahead except in a couple polls that utilize questionable methods such as "likely voter" algorithms that favor McBush. Everyone else has it even.

Which to my mind, due to the land line/cell phone/caller ID problem, means that Obama has about a 3 point lead across the board.

2) Convention bounce? We don't need no stinkin' convention bounce!!! Even though it is McBush's convention bounce that is actually fading instead of Obama's "star".

3) They say that "white" people prefer McBush, then accuse the Obama campaign of being racists.

4) They brag about Palin's "effect" on the voters, then accuse the Obama campaign of being sexists.

3) McBush has "leveled" the money field except for where they haven't.

The article makes confusing nit-picking arguments based on comparing statistics before and after the Dem Convention, then in-between conventions then before and after the Repub convention.

As a side note, today on CNN headline news, a segment is introduced saying that "The Obama camp is accusing the McCain campaign of lying about Palin's Iraq visit" then they only discuss whether or not Palin actually "banned" books when she was mayor of that stinkin' little town.

Then loudly proclaimed "BALONEY" with the word splashed diagonally across the screen - directly implying that they "debunked" the Obama campaign instead of what they actually debunked (and not very convincingly):

Vague Internet rumors that were probably started by none other than Rove himself. The Iraq lie is not discussed at all.

As a kicker, CNN and FOX continue complaining about the "liberal" media.
