We here at the Obama campaign have recently been inundated with a flood emails the tone of which was fairly similar. Basically, many emails were from supporters or erstwhile supporters angry at us for this or that position the candidate has adopted since being declared the presumptive nominee. This has been mirrored in a general drop off in enthusiasm and fundraising. You'll also notice that our poll numbers, ranging from the Newsweek poll to the Rasmussen and Gallup tracking polls have been falling, and falling against a Republican nominee so comically inept that he makes Robert Dole look polished.

So, in the interests of keeping the electorate informed, which is what this campaign is all about, we here at Obama HQ would like to fill in some details and explain how we're going about losing this general election.

It should be noted that whilst we desperately want to lose the general election, there is some suspicion that we will unfortunately win, given the suckiness of the Republicans. But be sure, this is an outcome we are working 24/7 to prevent.

Find out how we can lose in November below the fold.

There's no beginning to what Dick Morris knows about politics, so it's surprising then that the good people over at Rasmussen polling are giving him room to vent. He also has another new book out at the moment, which I didn't pre-order months ago and am keenly looking forward not to reading the future. But let's look at his latest column, just for shits and giggles.

This is sad. Sad for Obama. Sad for America's Muslims. He is a candidate who should really be made for America's beleaguered Arabic and Islamic population. He promises an end to the climate of permanent fear, an end to the organized disunity of the post 9/11 nightmare, an end to racial profiling and other defamations of the constitution, and an end to the liquidationist foreign policy of the Bush White House. But there's a problem. He doesn't want anyone to think he's a Muslim. Dear, oh, dear.

First he does the hawkish thing before AIPAC. Then he does the "let's hire someone from the Chicago school of insane-onomics" thing. And now he does the "security trumps freedom" thing over FISA. It's been a strangely disconcerting time to observe Mr. Obama's post-primary drift for an admirer across the pond.
