Obama Campaign: “A Pathetic Attempt to Play the Gender Card” »

By Charles Lemos on Sep 11, 2008 in Barack Obama, McCain/Palin 2008, Obama's Neuroses, Sarah Palin | 136 Comments

Ah, the arrogance and hubris of the messiah from Honolulu truly is a wonder to behold. He could apologize but he won’t. Instead he will have that McCain ad running and running.

A new Survey USA poll in Minnesota shows Senator Obama leading Senator McCain by two points, 47% to 45%. Since that’s within the margin of error, the race in the Gopher state is effectively a dead heat.
On the plus side for Obama, Minnesota appears one place where Obama does not face a PUMA backlash. [...]

Today We Are All Georgians »

By Charles Lemos on Aug 12, 2008 in Current Affairs | 176 Comments
