Another Interesting Poll

At the risk of proving that I was the only one who didn’t already know this, I just read today about a poll that is a bit different than any I’ve known of before. Some 2,000 people are being tracked on a continuing basis to determine their reaction to the primary candidates and their campaigning.

New Poll

While from Fox News/Opinion Dynamics this is interesting data.

Andrew Sullivan Hearts Ron Paul

Andrew Sullivan started out the morning by noting Ron Paul’s record fundraising haul and exclaiming it “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” I’m not sure about the analogy, but I guess it works for Sullivan, who has become the latest Ron Paul cheerleader.
Sullivan explains that Obama is his choice in the Democratic race, but in a choice [...]

“Straight Talk” Coming At Ya

Politics wouldn’t be nearly as enjoyable if there were less room for surprises. Few, I believe, could honestly deny that they had written the tired old warhawk off before now. Knocking down major endorsements in the first two big races, however, will certainly put a new found spring in his step.

McCain Escalates Partisanship

If John McCain didn’t exist, BUSHCO would have to invent him. They need someone of stature that is not of them, and who couldn’t do more for their cause if he were. “Straight talk” as a reputation bolsters credibility of others who engage in anything but, and his propensity to self destruct at opportune times [...]

Ten Post Round-Up: Moody Blue Tuesday
