Examining A New National Poll
I just saw on CNN’s Situation Room that John McCain is actually slightly ahead of Barack Obama in a new L.A. Times/Bloomberg poll–by two points, definitely within the margin of error.
First off, this is the first time I’ve seen McCain ahead of Obama in an eternity. But that isn’t the point.
The point is that McCain likely has a few advantages in this poll. For all intents and purposes, McCain is the GOP nominee. Obama is not quite there yet on the Democratic side. Additionally, Democratic-to-Republican turnout has been at least 2-to-1 so far during the primary season. Did this poll take that into account? I doubt it. I, for one, am certain Dems are fired up to vote come this November. Yes, much more fired up than Republicans. Also, most voters still know McCain better. That will change.
Because of the aforementioned factors, I’m not the slightest bit worried about this latest poll.

The Clinton Camp: Ventriloquist Game
It’s starting to get to the point where I’m waking up and asking myself this question: Just who Hillary Clinton will be today.
Maggie Williams’ and Mark Penn’s barking pit bull? The polite politician who channeled (or plagiarized, according to her definition) both her husband and John Edwards at the end of the Austin debate? The Howard Beale-like prophet who talks about “celestial lights” and is this close to screaming “I’m mad as hell, and I’m not going to take it any more!” during her stump? Are we going to play the crying game one more time?
If it took HRC 35 years to find her voice, then her ass done lost it again.
And that’s her problem–she doesn’t come off as authentic. That’s especially true when she’s set against the ever-growing backdrop of Barack Obama. When their policies so closely mirror one another, why should anybody pick her? He’s had one consistent message his entire campaign–actually, for his entire political career–and it is using eloquent speeches along with progressive thinking to create a new majority. Her message, like her policies (read NAFTA), change with the winds of political expediency. Besides, if she were President, not only would she be hamstrung by her and her husband’s cover-your-ass mentalities, but also by the fact that roughly half of this country doesn’t like her. Four more years of triangulation and tall tales, followed by another post-Clinton Republican resurgence.
I’m very curious to see which Hillary will come out during tonight’s debate. My gut tells me that we’ll see the same angry “slumlord Rezko” fire-eater that we witnessed in that last three-participant debate with Edwards. I guess we’ll all just have to wait a couple of hours and see.
This much is sure: While she’s been toggling through “voices” like Sherwin-Williams paint swatches, the rest of the Democratic Party has found its voice. That voice has spoken out loud and clear–for Barack Obama.

Political Argument Results In Stabbing
I’m not lying either. Two in-laws got into it over Democratic presidential candidates Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. The fiasco resulted in a stabbing. Guess who was the stabber and who was the victim? Yep, the Clinton supporter stabbed the Obama supporter. To me, it’s an uncanny representation of how the two campaigns have been run. It gets better, too–the stabber is a Republican! Hope he’s ready for prison on “day one.”

CNN Debate SNL Skit
I wasn’t a huge fan of the way Barack Obama was portrayed last night on Saturday Night Live–that definitely missed the mark. Although the guy actually looked like him (although he was white). Amy Poehler’s Hillary Clinton was pretty funny, however, even if her portrayal wasn’t all that accurate. The media obsession with BHO was funny, too. Could have done without Obama girl, though. Hey, SNL will have the next eight years to get Obama right. We’ll give them a pass on this one. Enjoy!
(By the way, Mike Huckabee was also pretty funny during his appearance last night if you missed it. Totally disagree with his views, but Mike is a pretty good guy. It’s easy to see why Republicans would reject smug ol’ Johnny for him.)
