Take a look at this report excerpted here and then watch the video. Barack Obama has lost ground among some of his strongest bases of support, including young people, women, Democrats and independents, according to a new ATV/Zogby poll. The Illinois Democrat has also lost some support among African-Americans and Hispanics, where his lead over…

Texas Darlin takes a look at the Obama birth certificate issue and has a few words on the matter. Techdude’s latest report, written exclusively for the TexasDarlin blog, is mind-blowing. This report responds to critics; solves the “security border” mystery; AND exposes THE SMOKING GUN that will be conclusive in proving that the Certificate of…

Lovely video. I must take exception to one point. I do not believe America was founded as a Christian Nation. On the other points I am in agreement. Keep your eyes open for the frequent appearance of a Puma. It refers to Party Unity My Ass. A slogan of Hillary supporters who are none too…

Team Obama has figured out a way to stop his slide in the polls. Summer Camp. The BHO campaign has sent out emails to me and probably millions of other lucky recipients encouraging us to sign up for a local “Camp Obama” (my.barackobama.com/page/s/campobamaus, my.barackobama.com/page/s/campobama08la), a two-day session where we’d learn how to be effective organizers…

I recently did a post on how a number of Democrats view the McCain campaign so far. Here is my favorite quote from the long list of quotes: After Axelrod swiftboated Hillary, I tell you, he has no play book for the GE. For such a “brilliant team” they are struggling with a cadaver and…

There is a discussion going on at Talk Left (which has banned me as a commenter – boo frickin hoo) about Obama playing the race card. Some of the comments are quite amusing. I’m going to pick the best of the lot (something like 200+ in the lot) and post them so you needn’t spend…

I’m finalizing loose odds and ends, and just about ready to hit the road. So, barring a major unanticipated event, I think this will be my last post from my Pennsylvania home. (Emotional. Ugh.) Whether I’ll be set up to blog tomorrow from the new location is another matter. This whole move has been insane,…

John Tierney ask folks to leave comments about what big problems people should be worrying about. Here is what I worry about: I worry about people who worry about Lebensraum. You know, too many humans on the planet. I’d keep a close watch on those boys. H/T Instapundit Cross Posted at Power and Control

Megam McArdle is discussing GM’s woes. GM has declared a stunning loss–over $15 billion dollars. Their cash position has fallen by about 10% since last year. That cash cushion used to comfort analysts, the notion being that GM had the reserves to ride out a long rough spell. Now liquidity fears are firming up. I’d…

Q and O has the details. As Emanuel notes, the odds were set. 500 vs. 70. Even so, Emanuel entitled his article, “An Alamo With a Different Ending.” The 500 terrorists apparently didn’t realize they were attacking US Army paratroopers. The unit in question was 2nd Platoon, Company C, 2nd Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment (Airborne),…

Congressman Mike Pence gives an after action report on yesterday’s after hours session on oil drilling that took place on the House floor after the session was adjourned by Speaker Pelosi. …we had a hundred people, a hundred people signed up to give speeches at the end of the day, which is a very, very…

Democrats keep telling us that if we open the Outer Continental Shelf for drilling we won’t get any oil out of it for ten years (the real number is two or three years). Are they trying to tell us we won’t be needing oil for our vehicles in ten years? I’d like to see the…

If you would like to help this clinic out, here is a list of supplies needed and where to send them. Here is a link to the video if you want to do your own post on the clinic: http://www.cbsnews.com/sections/i_video/main500251.shtml?id=4312401n

Obama has been playing the race card a lot lately. The McCain camp is hitting back hard. Very hard “The McCain campaign was compelled to respond to this outrageous attack because we will not allow John McCain to be smeared by Senator Obama as a racist for offering legitimate criticism,” he said. “We have waited…

I like the McCain Campaign so far. Jab. Jab. Jab. Obama throws a round house. McCain then lands a solid punch. McCain is peeling off the Obama voters. A half percent every day. That will put Obama 15 points down by 1 Sept. I think with the dynamics of this campaign too much fear in…

Breaking News: House Republican are holding an after session session to try to get House Speaker Democrat Nancy Pelosi to bring the House Back in Session to debate the Republican plan to open the waters of the Outer Continental Shelf of the US for oil exploration and production.
