Which is this:
In view of the Republicans' third straight loss in a special election (and second straight loss while trying an anti-Obama's former pastor ploy), this needs to be said...
Ah...
Ah....

As an RNC aide said last week in an article on these special elections
"Illinois was really bad, Louisiana was worse, if that's possible, but if we don't win in Mississippi, I think you are going to see a lot of people running around here looking for windows to jump out of," said a Republican leadership aide.

It just warms my little architect-y heart to think of all the people looking up "fenestation."

Partially for how it rolls of tongue and partially because apparently , at some point inthe development of the English languge some one felt it necessary to coin a single word ( a fancy latin-rooted word at that) to describe the act of "throwing someone out of a window"

If such elections are forecasting doom and gloom for the Republican party come November... how come the polls do not favor the Demcratic candidate over McCain even more?
Look at http://electoral-vote.com/ and currently Obama appear to loose against MacCain (Yes, I know the distinction between 'barely' and 'strong' leanings, and I am sure the tendency will be reversed between now and November.)
Why don't the poll show Obama (or Clinton) win even more electoral votes? The same can be said about the predictions at http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/ .
Why the national popular polls don't show the democratic candidate over 50% against MacCain?
If people are upset NOW, and if the Republicans lose such strong Republican seats NOW, how come the general election don't show better results for the Democratic candidate NOW?
Can someone explain?
Thanks and blessings.

The Dems have run very little offense against McCain so far (the '100 years' ad being about it) and have yet to make it official with regard to Obama.
Check back on those numbers after the convention, and after a month or two of sustained "Bush 3.0" ads.

Cellular service is so cheap now that many people, particularly young and low income, are dropping their land line service in favor of using cellular phones only. Since these polls cannot be conducted over the phone, your pool of "likely voters" in a poll tends to trend with the elderly and affluent which are more prone to vote for McCain (or Hillary).
I'd like to know how many Obama voters do not have land lines? In almost every state he has outperformed the polls by 1 to 2 percentage points. He'll do the same in November.

and the "maverick" image, but Top Gun was a shitty 80's movie, and maverick was played by Tom Cruise a crappy actor the scientologist nutjob, and likewise people will realize McCain is a shitty republican candidate still fantasizing about Reagan in the 80's and is a pro war nutjob. Just look at the box office returns for Cruise's latest stinker lions for lambs.

Yeah, it's really early. And yeah, I'm lovin' the tea leaves from the MS, LA, and IL special elections. But Poblano at http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/ has been really, really accurate, and for now he shows McCain beating both Obama and Hillary.
Work to do.

a "thank you" to the voters.
Something so satisfying about this. America finally realizing that the GOP's "free market" equates to special interests, special interests, special interests.

Go convince a Republican. I'm voting for the Democrat on the ticket.

Keeping in mind these are folks that love bloodbaths. In their minds however it should always be other people's blood. I hope they get used to it.
