It’s desperation time, true. The only thing left to wonder is whether the “Bradley effect” will take place, white voters lying when they say they’ll go for Obama, or the poll bump from younger voters who aren’t being counted. The polls are screwy for a reason: So many people these days live off their cell phones and there’s no way for pollsters to count them accurately. Pollsters call folks at home at night, after dinner usually. Well, who is sitting around at night with a land line? Older McCain voters watching “Funniest Home Videos” that’s who. Obama voters are more likely to use cells and more likely to be out at night with a social life. So we’ll see which factor wins out on election night.

Just trying to keep up with you jay. From downstairs:

And when OBlahMa began his political career in Illinois, his decency was questionable.

Obama Played by Chicago Rules

Thus would Mr. Obama win his state Senate seat, months before a single vote was cast.

According to the Chicago Tribune, Mr. Obama’s petition challengers reported to him nightly on their progress as they disqualified his opponents’ signatures on various technical grounds — all legitimate from the perspective of law. One local newspaper, Chicago Weekend, reported that “[s]ome of the problems include printing registered voters name [sic] instead of writing, a female voter got married after she registered to vote and signed her maiden name, registered voters signed the petitions but don’t live in the 13th district.”

One of the candidates would speculate that his signature-gatherers, working at a per-signature pay rate, may have cheated him by signing many of the petitions themselves, making them easy to disqualify.

In the end, Mr. Obama disqualified all four opponents

In the 2006 election, reformers from both parties attempted to end the corruption in Chicago’s Cook County government. They probably would have succeeded, too, had Mr. Obama taken their side. Liberals and conservatives came together and nearly ousted Cook County Board President John Stroger, the machine boss whom court papers credibly accuse of illegally using the county payroll to maintain his own standing army of political cronies, contributors and campaigners.

When liberals and conservatives worked together to clean up Cook County’s government, they were displaying precisely the postpartisan interest in the common good that Mr. Obama extols today. And Mr. Obama, by working against them, helped keep Chicago politics dirty.

After the primary, when Stroger’s son Todd replaced him on the ballot under controversial circumstances, a good-government Republican named Tony Peraica attracted the same kind of bipartisan support from reformers in the November election. But Mr. Obama endorsed the young heir to the machine, calling him — to the absolute horror of Chicago liberals — a “good, progressive Democrat.”

Only those who are easily convinced they have no hope would settle for this kind of (cough) CHANGE.

Some have suggested that the McCain candidacy has been “ImPalined” with his Veep choice.

It is hard to disagree that this choice was extremely risky.

87% of those asked, post VP debate, said that Sen. Biden was qualified to become the president should that eventuality happen. (That number actually rose by 9% after the debate).

Only 46% felt the same about Ms. Palin.

I believe the shocker here is, how could anywhere near that number truly believe she is?

A lovely woman.

A great American.

But it is manifestly clear that she is terribly unqualified.

ESPECIALLY given Sen. McCain’s age.

If not for this glaring problem, she would not so badly damage the GOP ticket.

Despair is what the Obama campaign is hoping and working for. If a campaign can convince supporters of the other candidate that the race is effectively over, the enthusiasm and volunteer efforts drop off—as does, ultimately, their turnout on Election Day. Just as important, undecided and loosely affiliated voters become persuaded there’s no real contest and lose any incentive to look closely at the candidates. This explains the efforts of the Obama campaign—aided by a colluding media—to sell the notion that the race is over, that McCain supporters should give up, and undecided voters should tune out.-Bill Kristol

The Democratic Party has a zillion problems of its own to contend with.

Yet, it seems inevitable that King George II will go down in history as the US President with the worst approval rating EVER.

His current rating of 22% ties Truman for the all-time low.

And there is absolutely no doubt that before he leaves office in January, 2009, somewhere between four out of five and nine out of ten Americans that pay his salary will view his administration as the worst ever.

In any other endeavor he and the bungling, corrupt fools he surrounded himself with, would have been fired LONG ago for incompetence.

His legacy of failure may ensure that we are witnessing the very beginning of another forty year stretch where the Congressional Republicans are on the outside looking in.

And that the integrity-lacking, cowardly, lunatic fringe of the “conservative” Republican Party who enabled and still apologize for this ideology are, by and large viewed, as incapable of making intelligent, moral choices.

Unless and until they change their ways, it is probably the best America can hope for…

Mr. Zardari seems anxious to downplay any differences with the U.S. “I am not going to fall for this position that it’s an unpopular thing to be an American friend. I am an American friend.” The firing on the U.S. aircraft was, he says, merely an incident, “and while incidents do happen, they are not important.” He goes off the record to describe sensitive military subjects, but acknowledges that the U.S. is carrying out Predator missile strikes on Pakistani soil with his government’s consent. “We have an understanding, in the sense that we’re going after an enemy together.”-Wall Street Journal

I know everyone missed me this last week while i was vacationing abroad. Many things have happened, I see, but I shall lave you with these facts about The Token One:

*Here is a quick look into 3 former Fannie Mae executives who have brought down Wall Street.

Franklin Raines was a Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at Fannie Mae.  Raines was forced to retire from his position with Fannie Mae  when auditing discovered severe irregularities in Fannie Mae’s accounting activities.  At the time of his departure The Wall Street Journal noted, “Raines, who long defended the company’s accounting despite mounting evidence that it wasn’t proper, issued a statement late Tuesday conceding that ‘mistakes were made’ and saying he would assume responsibility as he had earlier promised.  News reports indicate the company was under growing pressure from regulators to shake up its management in the wake of findings that the company’s books ran afoul of generally accepted accounting principles for four years.”  Fannie Mae had to reduce its surplus by $9 billion.

Raines left with a Golden Parachute valued at $240 million in benefits.  The Government filed suit against Raines when the depth of the accounting scandal became clear. http://housingdoom.com/2006/12/18/fannie-charges/.  The Government noted, “The 101 charges reveal how the individuals improperly manipulated earnings to maximize their bonuses, while knowingly neglecting accounting systems and internal controls, misapplying over twenty accounting principles and misleading the regulator and the public.  The Notice explains how they submitted six years of misleading and inaccurate accounting statements and inaccurate capital reports that enabled them to grow Fannie Mae in an unsafe and unsound manner.”  These charges were made in 2006.  The Court ordered Raines to return $50 million he received in bonuses based on the misstated Fannie Mae profits.

Tim Howard was the Chief Financial Officer of Fannie Mae.  Howard “was a strong internal proponent of using accounting strategies that would ensure a ‘stable pattern of earnings’” at Fannie.  In everyday English - he was cooking the books.  The Government Investigation determined that, ”Chief Financial Officer, Tim Howard, failed to provide adequate oversight to key control and reporting functions within Fannie Mae.”

On June 16, 2006, Rep. Richard Baker, R-La., asked the Justice Department to investigate his allegations that two former Fannie Mae executives lied to Congress in October 2004 when they denied manipulating the mortgage-finance giant’s income statement to achieve management pay bonuses.  Investigations by federal regulators and the company’s board of directors since concluded that management did manipulate 1998 earnings to trigger bonuses.  Raines and Howard resigned under pressure in late 2004. Howard’s Golden Parachute was estimated at $20 million.

Jim Johnson - A former executive at Lehman Brothers who was later forced from his position as Fannie Mae CEO.  Look at the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight’s May 2006 report on mismanagement and corruption inside Fannie Mae, and you’ll see some interesting things about John son.  Investigators found that Fannie Mae had hidden a substantial amount of Johnson’s 1998 compensation from the public, reporting that it was between $6 million and $7 million when it fact it was $21 million.  Johnson is currently under investigation for taking illegal loans from Countrywide while serving as CEO of Fannie Mae.  Johnson’s Golden Parachute was estimated at $28 million.   WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

FRANKLIN RAINES?  Raines works for the Obama Campaign as Chief Economic Advisor.

TIM HOWARD?  Howard is also a Chief Economic Advisor to Obama.

JIM JOHNSON?  Johnson hired on as a Senior Obama Finance Advisor and was selected to run Obama’s Vice Presidential Search Committee.   IF OBAMA PLANS ON CLEANING UP THE MESS - HIS ADVISORS HAVE THE EXPERTISE - THEY MADE THE MESS IN THE FIRST PLACE.   Would you trust the men who tore Wall Street down to build the New Wall Street?*

I have cautioned you repeatedly not to and to use more maturity, self-discipline and restraint.

When you don’t, by training and temperament, I respond with overwhelming force.

Until we meet again…

I just saw the coolest thing. I’m working in the yard when two WWII fighters flying side by side pass over the house. Like a child, I’m jumping up and down waving. They circle around and rock their wings on the second pass.

I think I’m gonna cry.

1-Despite management’s latest display of stupidity, Bill Ayers does not teach at the University of Chicago. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/04/us/politics/04ayers.html?_r=2&oref=slogin&oref=slogin

2-Bud Wiser, turn around and go back and take you lies with you. Franklin Raines is not an adviser to the Obama campaign. You can hold your face until it turns blue, and it still wouldn’t be true (but call me, I’d like to watch).

To AJC:

You have got to ease up with the name calling! This country could be in some serious trouble and you are getting way out of hand!

We will need a lot of help to pull of this mess our country is in!

The government has mortgage our future to other countries!

So we must be able to worked together no matter who is in the oval office.

Tax increase will come either now or later because when those other countries want their money what are we going to give them!

Wake Americans we must band together or the Asia countries wil own America!

An important message for RW, AJC/DNC, @@ et al, We got an “Emergency Response Message” from John McCain in the mail today. I thought you might want to know… he’s asking you for an “Emergency Membership Contribution of $500 or even more if you can afford it,” because The Obama Democrats and their left-wing special interest allies have come together in a united front, combining their enormous fundraising arsenal. Meanwhile, the national Democrats led by Howard Dean are stepping up their cynical campaign of distortions and outright lies, and with the help of their cronies live MoveOn.org, are raising staggering amounts of money. “I would not ask for your help if the circumstances where (sic) not so dire. However, it is clear that the weeks and days ahead will be the most important yet in our battle to defeat the Democrats and their deeply flawed policies that embrace higher taxes, more government spending, socialized medicine and surrender in Iraq.” Running scared.. running scared! It is always amusing to receive these mailings - the Republicans assume we are party members simply by our Zip Code - I always find the “surveys” especially slanted and distorted. RW, AJC/DNC and @@, can you “stand with them in their struggle?”

from Wikipedia:

On July 16, 2008, The Washington Post reported that Franklin Raines had “taken calls from Barack Obama’s presidential campaign seeking his advice on mortgage and housing policy matters.”. Also, in an editorial in August 27, 2008 titled “Tough Decision Coming”, the Washington Post editorial staff wrote that “Two members of Mr. Obama’s political circle, James A. Johnson and Franklin D. Raines, are former chief executives of Fannie Mae.”

On September 18, 2008, John McCain’s Campaign, published a campaign ad that quoted the Washington Post’s claim that Franklin Raines advises Barack Obama on economic matters. The ad also notes that “Raines made millions and then left Fannie Mae while it was under investigation for accounting irregularities”. Both Raines and the Obama Campaign claim that Raines is not an Obama advisor and has never advised Senator Obama.

In the New York Times John Steele Gordon wrote an opinion criticizing Raines’ contribution to the 2008 financial crisis caused by the failure of Fannie Mae, “…Fannie C.E.O. from 1999 to 2004, had been budget director in the Clinton White House. He cooked the books at Fannie to increase his compensation (more than $50 million).”

Look at it any way you want Mike, and it shows the total void of character exhibited by your Token One. The Washington Post, an Obama supporter, leaks it out that Raines is an advisor, and Obama says nothing.

McCain’s campo shows an ad saying the same thing, The Token One is in total denial. Soooooo, either the Token One is a liar, or too stupid to care after the Post article, only in denial after McCain’s group points it out; either way, he is unfit for office.

He is a loser and so are you. Tool.

I believe that the question posed by Jay was whether or not the 2008 presidential election would be close or whether it would be a blowout. As a baseline, Clinton won the 1992 election with 370 electoral votes, but did not have a majority of the popular vote. Four years later, Clinton was re-elected with 379 electoral votes. Currently the polling organizations are reporting data from 10-01-8 through 10-03-08, and Obama has a 6%-9% lead over McCain with a maximum electoral count of 353, according to Realclearpolitics.com. Ultimately, I believe Obama will probably garner somewhere around 320 electoral votes.

However, it is the relationship between Obama and some of the Southern Senate candidates that is really intriguing. In the most recent (9/30) Mississippi presidential poll, Obama is down by 8% and the Democratic Senatorial candidate is down by 2%; in Georgia, the most recent polls indicate Obama is down by 6-8 percentage points but the Democratic Senatorial candidate ( Jim Martin) is down by only 2 points to Saxby Chambliss; in North Carolina the incumbent Republican Senator, Elizabeth Dole, is actually down by 8 percentage points to her Democratic challenger. A strong push by the Obama campaign in these three states could result in an unexpected Democratic pick up of some Senate seats, and the extent of the Democratic Majority in the Senate will be a crucial determinant as to whether an Obama Administration can actually pass legislation designed to improve the nation’s current economic situation. 60 votes and the Democrats will be able to invoke cloture on the inevitable Republic filibusters. Presently, I only count a pickup of seven seats for the Democrats-not enough to quell filibusters, so these Southern Senate races are important.

Two final comments. First, if you don’t believe that the presidential race has tightened in Georgia, then why have both Obama and McCain recently aired commercials in Georgia after a long hiatus? Second, presidents attain greatness through their ability to lead I tough times. Judge Obama’s legacies as President before you anoint him as a historical icon.
