I saw the following story this morning on the news, and was pretty surprised by it: One-Fourth of Overseas Votes Go Uncounted, Study Finds. Some of you may recall that John McCain asked for an extension to count votes in VA for absentee ballots requested by military personnel that [...]

Barack Obama has a coal problem. Responding to yesterday’s revelation that Barack Obama intends to bankrupt all plants that operate on energy generated from coal, Chris Hamilton, the Senior Vice President of the West Virginia Coal Association, called Obama’s comments in San Francisco “unbelievable.” I quote the West Virginia Record:

During the past several weeks, you’ve all seen John Fund on Fox News discussing the problem of voter fraud perpetrated by Acorn.
As you probably also know, Mr. Fund has written a book, “Stealing Elections, Revised and Updated: How Voter Fraud Threatens Our Democracy.”

Wyoming, West Virginia, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Texas, Montana, Illinois, Virginia, North Dakota, Colorado, Indiana, New Mexico, Utah, Ohio, Alabama and Arizona: these coal producing states will be adversely affected by Barack Obama’s energy policy.
Imagine mines closing, factories closing, jobs lost, towns abandoned, small businesses failing, pensions lost, wages dropping and widespread economic depression in states that [...]

During the primaries and up until the convention, many Obama supporters pushed the narrative that Hillary supporters had to go through the classic stages of grief before we accepted Obama. On Correntewire, Lambert writes that Josh Marshall and others:
started running the “stages of grief” trope on Hillary supporters way back in February—you know, from anger, [...]

In Monday’s Washington Post, Obama’s chief strategist, David Axelrod, is quoted as saying, “I think one of the things driving the national polls is that the red states are redder.”
Is Axelrod right? Could it be McCain has energized his base but that Obama remains ahead?
Using Electoral-Vote.com’s numbers, I created a list of [...]

During the opening night of the Olympics, John McCain broadcast the following ad, titled “Painful”:
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWXqpHEsrxc[/youtube]
I was struck by the high quality of the ad. It tweaks Obama’s celebrity status, and then unleashes a full-throttle class attack on Obama. “Life in the spotlight must be grand,” intones a woman’s voice, dropping her voice off for emphasis, [...]

In our ongoing efforts to represent ALL of Hillary’s core constituency, we are including some particularly sharp commentary from two well known political analysts in Tennessee.
These gentlemen represent what is considered to be the best of Hillary’s coalition of voters. Well, unless you think the old bitter white women contingent is actually [...]

On Memorial Day, Senator Obama, trying to show some patriotism and solidarity with the military and Jews (except those in Israel), mentioned his grandfather’s service in the military and his uncle helping to liberate Auschwitz. Apparently, Senator Obama was also seeing “dead people” at the same time.
Senator, whatever could you POSSIBLY be thinking? [...]

Last Tuesday we had the immense pleasure of watching Senator Barack Obama lose big time in Kentucky. His campaign knew he was going to lose big. And that is why Senator Obama didn’t even bother to campaign there. But if that wasn’t enough of an insult to the Bluegrass State, Obama took it upon himself [...]

UPDATE via Taylor Marsh and Corrente Wire: “Clinton Election Juggernaut Accelerates“:
After Hillary Clinton’s historic 41-point victory in the West Virginia primary, two questions loom: How long will Barak Obama cling to his shattered dreams of the presidency, and how much damage will be done to the Democratic Party by his stubborn and divisive refusal to [...]

Obama’s Behaviors? He Indulges In More Attacks on “Bitter” Working Class Voters
He’s the Loser Ready to Proclaim Victory While Losing Again

Barack Obama has retreated from Kentucky, conceding the Bluegrass State to Hillary, blaming Kentucky voters, just like he riled his cheerleading pundits [...]

According to Obama supporters and his allies in the media, Hillary is finished and the nomination is securely in Obama’s hands. David Broder laments that “If Clinton weren’t still challenging, [Obama] could easily devote a week to a swing through Hispanic enclaves from California to New York.” But Hillary is challenging and I take Hillary [...]

Hillary Clinton Leads Popular Vote
Democrats risk turning their whole party into Florida 2000–or Florida 2008. When does the winner not win? In Florida 2000, the votes were not counted because the conservative majority on the Supreme Court ruled they shouldn’t be counted. Al Gore won the popular majority of votes in the country and likely [...]

Anderson Cooper on CNN Tuesday night falsely claimed the public must not view Reverend Wright negatively, as a Democrat named Travis Childers in Mississippi’s third Congressional district managed to win a special election in which he was tied by the Republicans to Barack Obama’s radical mentor and pastor.
Cooper referred to this advertisement:

Via Michael Calderone’s blog at Politico.com:
When Chris Matthews says something he thinks is clever, it usually keeps coming up throughout the night.
Early in Tuesday’s primary coverage, Matthews said that if Hillary Clinton uses the word “white” once more, she could be called “the Al Sharpton of white people.”
A couple of hours later, talking to Sen. [...]

The Obama campaign has argued that Super Delegates ought to vote in accordance with the “will” of the people. Really? Then let’s run the numbers. Under that metric, who would have a lead in Super Delegates? The Super Delegate total from the states that Hillary has won thus far (including FL and MI) is [...]

Truthteller just sent me the official tally page for West Virginia. Take note of the listing of Barack’s name. Well, folks, it is what it is. And one wonders, occasionally. why Mr. Obama shies away from the use of his full given name. I hope the NYTimes takes note!
