- As bad as Rep. Joe Wilson's behavior was last night, look on the bright side -- at least he wasn't carrying a sign that said "Obama=Hitler". Or a loaded rifle.
Then again, rather than look at the bright side, just donate to Rob Miller, his 2010 opponent. Thus far today he's raising close to $1K per minute. Let's keep that momentum going!
- Limbaugh wishes Joe Wilson hadn't apologized.
- Open letter to political mob:
Do you get the sense that most of the people around you would not be able to provide an intelligent answer if asked why they are assembled? And that those remaining would have vastly different answers from one to the next? Chances are you are in an angry, directionless mob and your IQ has already dropped by 20 points. You should work your way out of the crowd immediately. Still not sure? Look at the signs that are being carried around…do they make any sense? Have they been checked for spelling? We didn’t think so.
- Moody Loner helps the GOP write their health care plan.
- Three nights a week, Research 2000 gets about 800 respondents for our weekly tracking poll, which has an overall sample size of 2,400. That makes the nightly MoE a svelte 3.46%.
On Tuesday sample, Obama's favorabilities were roughly 52 favorable, 40 unfavorable. On Wednesday, with interviews conducted mostly BEFORE Obama's health care speech, it was 62/36. People must've really liked his "stay in school" speech that had conservatives losing their collective heads. And tonight's sample? Stay tuned.
- Too bad you can't spell check a cardboard sign. It's clearly a problem for our teabagger friends.
- Velociraptors are so fucking cool (even if they weren't as big as portrayed on Jurassic Park).
- NV-Sen: Harry Reid's seat is now a tossup, despite facing a bunch of no-names.
