[Virginia Conservative’s Weblog] While Watching the Debate

Posted by virginiaconservative in October 8th 2008 under: Barack Obama, John McCain, Political Musings, Second Debate, aggregated

Good evening everyone.
I’m writing this post as I watch the second presidential debate, which, as you likely know, is taking place in Nashville, TN. For those who haven’t been there, the campus of Belmont is a beautiful place and I recommend visiting it if you get the chance.
As the debate grinds on, […]

What does McCain have to do tonight to win? What about Obama?
Is this is a make or break for either candidate?
Is bringing up Bill Ayers’ association with Obama a wise move? What about Obama going after McCain regarding the Keating Five?

[The Write Side of My Brain] Initial thoughts: Not a game changer

Posted by Michael in October 8th 2008 under: 2008 Presidential Race, Barack Obama, John McCain, aggregated

I was pulling for Senator McCain tonight and I think he did an admirable job. I think substantively he won, kept Senator Obama on the defensive and closed strong.
But, I don’t think tonight changed anything. There were no gaffes. No glaring moments. And Senator Obama had an admirable performance as well.
Both sides, no doubt, will […]

[Virginia Virtucon] Polls Tightening Again

Looks like that massive blowout that the media has been trying to build up for Barry Obama will have to be put on hold. Latest CBS poll has Obama’s lead over John McCain down to 3 pts. among likely voters (a week ago it was 9.) And the new Reuters / C-SPAN / Zogby poll also has […]

[The Write Side of My Brain] Barack Obama throws John Glenn under the bus

Over the weekend, the McCain-Palin campaign announced it would be stepping up the attacks on Barack Obama. And Sarah Palin did just that. John McCain did more Monday.
Governor Palin brought up Barack Obama’s connection with terrorist William Ayers, and she obviously hit a nerve.
The Obama campaign struck back with “Neener Neener Boo Boo: Keating […]

[The right-wing liberal] Before we go and hand Obama the election . . .

The poll numbers have certainly not been good for John McCain. The bailout debacle has distracted my attention somewhat, but I noticed it, too.
Barring a dramatic and unforeseen event, Obama will be elected in just over four weeks. Trouble is (for him), dramatic and unforeseen events have littered the entire 2008 political landscape.
In fact, we […]

[Virginia Virtucon] Sure, Let’s Talk About The Keating Five…

Posted by Riley in October 6th 2008 under: 2008 Elections, John McCain, National Politics, Teleprompter Barry, aggregated

Barry Obama is releasing a documentary today detailing John McCain’s involvement in the Keating Five scandal back in the 1980s. You know, that scandal that McCain, along with John Glenn, was cleared of any wrongdoing in. In fact, the Dem cmte. counsel, Robert Bennett, had recommended that both McCain and Glenn be dropped from the investigation […]

[Virginia Conservative’s Weblog] Checking the Bellwether Forecast

Posted by virginiaconservative in October 6th 2008 under: Barack Obama, John McCain, Political Musings, aggregated

For those who have followed politics over the years, you might be familiar with the famous phrase “as goes Ohio, so goes the nation.” For those who are not, it is a reference to the presidential elections. Ohio is considered a bellwether state, which means that whoever wins the popular vote in Ohio will […]

Sen. John McCain enjoys overwhelming support from the military’s professional core, though race appears to be a decisive factor for career-oriented black service members, a Military Times survey of nearly 4,300 readers indicates.

banks and homeowners down. This mismanagement, waste and fraud cannot
go unpunished. Therefore I am calling for the President to appoint a
special prosecutor, and I hope Senator Obama will join me.”

Gallup did a survey of how voters felt about certain players in the bailout debate.
Neither Congressional party did well; John McCain is treading water; and the Audacity of Hype scored big (51% approval, 32% disapproval).
In fact, besides Barry O, only one other “winner” has emerged so far . . .
The members of Congress who voted […]
