Krauthammer & Thompson
Charles Krauthammer like me isn’t the happiest of conservatives in this race but like me he understands what’s at stake. I’m no fan of John McCain but given the choice between him and Barack Obama it’s a no brainer… Barack Obama is not your fathers democrat he is a socialist. Krauthammer writes: Contrarian that I [...]

Pollster: Media Polls Biased Against Republicans
I don’t put a lot faith in polls and this is why: Political polls conducted for most media organizations often are biased against Republicans, says Kellyanne Conway, one of the most respected GOP pollsters. As a result, Barack Obama’s lead over John McCain probably is exaggerated and is contributing unfairly to his momentum, says Conway, [...]

Poll Question: Who Won The Final Presidential Debate?
Overall I thought this was John McCain’s best debate. Unfortunately, I don’t think it was a game changer. In fact I think the plumber, Joe Wurzelbacher, was the only real winner. A couple of quick points: 1) The Secret Service says they have yet to find anyone who can backup that Scranton ‘Kill Him’ Report. [...]

Poll Question: Who Won The Second Pesidential Debate?
I’m calling it a draw… I though Sen. McCain did much better on the economy and health care than he did in the first debate. He slammed Sen. Obama on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and challenged the assumption that is was deregulation caused the financial crisis. He completely lost me with mortgage buy up [...]

Analyzing the Polls
AJ Strata has an interesting analysis of recent polls. Note the D-R-I split on “all voters” is 43-36-28. Most polls are weighting their sample by party affiliation, not policy preference. With the Democrat Presidential Primary drawing huge crowds and lots of GOP cross-overs to fight off Obama I would not want to put my reputation [...]
