If the predictions are on the money, the signs are all there for a trainwreck for the GOP, come November…
Chris Cillizza has pieced it all together on The Fix, noting “a column from Stu Rothenberg who, along with former Fix boss Charlie Cook stands atop the congressional handicapping game in Washington, in which Stu declares [...]

Democracy Corps had a focus group of undecided voters in Nevada watch last night’s debate:
“Unlike the first debate, when Democracy Corps research showed half the voters remaining undecided and the two candidates splitting the other half, the vote following the second debate showed a decisive shift toward Senator Obama. This debate was a clear victory [...]

I’ve spent the weekend preparing for my move cross country in two weeks and not paying much attention to the news once again. Sorry readers… Once I am relocated (and settled) in beautiful coastal Maine, I’ll be back on track here on The Dem Daily.
I was browsing through Memeorandum to check the scoops of the [...]

Bill Clinton was on the stump today doing some “powerful campaigning in Florida for the first time on Obama’s behalf.” Clinton, Greg Sargent reports on TPM, “laid out an interesting argument against McCain-Palin, claiming that the economy will consume so much of the new president’s attention that the Veep will be forced to play a [...]

Last week I was adamant that the sky wasn’t falling in on us as a result of Wall Street’s instability. I still believe that is true. It is also true, however, that the government has to take quick action, and I mean over the weekend, or we may be in deep bandini. There are so [...]

I totally slipped up not posting, yesterday. I had to get a new phone and my dealer hooked me up with the lastest form of crack, also known as the Blackberry (Curve, flavored). I just want to thank John McCain
for making that possible.
I started researchin’ for today’s Ten Post Round-Up and I had this whole [...]

Has John McLiar started to fizzle in the polls? Is the Palin bounce losing it’s spring?
If the latest Gallup Daily Tracking Poll is any indication, and mind you it is but a slight indication, we may just see a decent upturn for real change in the coming weeks:
The Sept. 14-16 Gallup Poll Daily tracking update [...]

Today is my oldest son’s 19th birthday and I rolled in just past my bedtime after attending a concert in a neighboring city, last night. Although, I’m a tad wound up, I am still a bit tired, so I’m keeping today’s Ten Post Round-Up short and sweet. The goal, today, is to describe each link [...]

Who knew?
I certainly didn’t… According to McCain’s top economic adviser, John McCain was instrumental in creating the BlackBerry:

Forget Sarah Palin… The opponent is John McCain and his stance on the issues represents more of the same, not change. That’s the message in Obama’s latest ad that focuses on equal pay for women:
On Monday, in a conference call with female supporters, Barack Obama and his aides outlined a new strategy to target women [...]

Is it just me, or does it seem like we live in an upside-down world? A few months ago, Republicans were falling all over themselves declaring that there was no sexism going on in their denouncements of Hillary Clinton. But, now, when somebody says, Sarah Palin is not qualified to be vice-president (because she’s about [...]

The view from above at John McCain’s rally at the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena today was pretty damn bleak.
In a stadium that seats 16,000, John McCain addressed a paltry “crowd of roughly 3,000 people.” Sam Stein notes on the the HuffPO that “Bloomberg News reported on Sunday, the campaign has been exaggerating its crowd numbers.”
Well, [...]
