A new Survey USA poll in Minnesota shows Senator Obama leading Senator McCain by two points, 47% to 45%. Since that’s within the margin of error, the race in the Gopher state is effectively a dead heat.
On the plus side for Obama, Minnesota appears one place where Obama does not face a PUMA backlash. […]

While my antipathy towards Barack Obama could not be greater, that has not translated into empathy or support for Senator McCain but if McCain’s speech today is any indication then I am growing increasingly comfortable with McCain.
No doubt, there are and will likely always be serious disagreements. McCain and I will never see eye-to-eye […]

Let’s see if I got this right, Obama is calling for:
1) United Nations Security Council Resolution condemning Russia. Problem: Russia is a Permanent Member of the United Nations with Security Council and thus has veto power over any resolution. Sure you can have a debate at the Security Council, actually there already have been, but […]

Poor, poor Allyson Schwartz, a Democratic Congresswoman from Pennsylvania, who yesterday was embarrassed on national television by MSNBC’s David Schuster who asked in the wake of Obama’s attacks on the Bush-Cheney Energy Policy:
Didn’t Barack Obama vote for the 2005 Bush-Cheney energy bill?

Well, she certainly has a sense of humour if scantily clad. Reclining in a pool-side sun-lounger, Ms. Hilton says: “Hey America, I’m Paris Hilton and I’m a celebrity, too. Only I’m not from the olden days and I’m not promising change like that other guy. I’m just hot.”
“But then that wrinkly, white-haired guy used […]

Florida Congressional Districts
Florida offers a rich prize of 27 electoral votes, 10% of the total required to win the Presidency. In 2004, George W. Bush won Florida by 52.1% to 47.2% margin over John Kerry.
Survey USA (SUSA) has a new poll out today that shows McCain enjoying a comfortable six point margin. That margin […]

It’s pretty clear that this has been a bad week for Barack Obama, the question is why? I am not really sure quite why, other than the obvious in my mind, but I am the first to admit most Americans do not yet see the danger that I see in Barack Obama.

Why am I not surprised?
“This wasn’t really a new position. What I’m saying is that we can’t drill our way out of the problem,” Obama told reporters. “And if we can come up with a genuine bi-partisan compromise in which I have to accept some things I don’t like, or the Democrats have to […]

Types of Off-Shore Drilling Platforms
On Wednesday Steve Hilton, a retired federal government worker in Lebanon, Missouri, implored Obama during a tour of a diner to consider off-shore oil production. To which, Obama replied:

The site parodies the social networking website FaceBook and Obama’s own website. BarackBook highlights some of Barack Obama’s notable associations throughout stages of his career, including his relationships with Tony Rezko, Nadhmi Auchi, and Alexi Giannoulias.
