Polls are only polls, but boy howdy wouldn’t it be nice if Obama carried Georgia, North Dakota, and now ARIZONA, where the recent Research 2000 poll has McCain up in his home state by only 1 percentage point! Team Obama is now going to run ads in Arizona this weekend. I say rub a landslide [...]

The thing that I’ve been fearing raised its ugly head here in Tennessee — two neo-Nazi white supremacists were arrested a few days ago on firearms violation and upon investigation were found out to have been plotting a shooting (and decapitation) spree of African-Americans, ultimately targeting Barack Obama.

I actually predicted this trend as soon as the Palin nomination was announced. She wasn’t selected to appeal to women (that would [...]

… then Obama would be a sure bet to win. The Guardian conducted a poll of foreign countries on the candidates and Obama wins in a global landslide. I actually think foreigners should be able to vote for the US president, given that that he wields such great global influence on said foreigners. Be sure [...]
