Apparently the people at the Quinn and Rose show have a contact in the Republican camp who is willing to share. Yes. the internal numbers.
A warning: When we checked out that link, it loaded horrendously slowly. But if you want a quick summary, here it is:
New Jersey: McCain 48% - Obambi 43% - Undecided 7%, undecideds currently breaking 4 to 1 for McCain.
[snip]
Michigan, the state that the McCain campaign hasn’t put much of an effort in at all, thinking it already lost: McCain 44% - Obambi 42% - Undecided 10%
OK, now here’s the bad news. There’s a state where Obambi leads.
California: Obambi 44% - McCain 43% - Undecided 9%.
People, if Dear Leader isn’t landsliding by double digits in the People’s Socialist Republic of Kalifornikate??? We rest our case.
Oh, and the state we mentioned before that Obambi is supposedly going to carry in a double-digit clobbering, yet for some reason he is focusing a LOT of effort in?
Pennsylvania: McCain 55% - Obambi 33% - Undecideds 10%
We guess they really don’t like being called racist, redneck, bitter, gun and bible-clinging xenophobes after all. Imagine our surprise.
Number one reason among Democrats breaking for McCain? They’re pissed off that he’s cheating and trying to buy the election.
The fact that the Democratic Machine can get away with smearing anyone that does not agree with their rehashing of failed ideas from the past is outrageous. State employee says she was ordered to check out Joe the Plumber
Forbes article on MSM bias. And the NRO weighs in.
Now that most companies have moved from pension plans to 401K plans, congress is considering a plan to eliminate 401K plans. People would be forced to fork over an additional 10% of their pay to the government and in return would get to be part of ... Social Security! What a deal. And that is OK, i guess, if you don't want to pass the money you earned and did not use to your kids or favorite charity, if you think the government is much smarter than you and can invest it better than you, if you think the bureaucrats in Washington consider your family's long term welfare as very important, and if you believe "public pensions" can defy the laws of physics and finance. On the other had, some jurisdictions are declaring bankruptcy, destroyed by the unreasonable burden of guaranteed pensions when there is no way to guarantee the necessary income to fund them. Most public companies moved away from guaranteed pensions because of this, and many of those that did not went bankrupt and could not pay anyway.
According to The OECD, we already tax our top earners more than any other country in the world. And the Democrats think we should double down on this policy other countries are moving away from as counter-productive?
The table also shows that the U.S. collects more household tax revenue from the top 10 percent of households than any other country and extracts the most from that income group relative to their share of the nation's income.
From Instapundit... some thoughts of Robert Heinlein:
Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.
This is known as "bad luck."
I guess will know in the next few days if we are in for some bad luck.
And a quote from SCSU Scholars:
The American businessmen, as a class, have demonstrated the greatest productive genius and the most spectacular achievements ever recorded in the economic history of mankind. What reward did they receive from our culture and its intellectuals? The position of a hated, persecuted minority. The position of a scapegoat for the evils of the bureaucrats.
The Virginian writes: "Obama Auntie is an Illegal Alien Living In Poverty In Boston, Makes Illegal Contribution to Obama and It's McCain's Fault."
That the headline in the POLITICO where the revelation that Obama's "Auntie Zeituni" is living in a Boston slum is transformed into a Republican "Dirty Trick." The Democrats are demanding a criminal investigation ... I'm serious as a heart attack! And the whole article is about Republican dirty tricks.
These are levels of chutzpah that I never would have believed, and have rarely seen. For those of you who have any doubt, let the record show that it was not the vaunted in-the-tank-so-far-they-need-scuba-gear American press that located "Auntie Zeituni" but that well known conservative rag, the London TimesOnline. I wrote about it HERE.
This still makes me nervous: Obama proposes a Civilian National Defense Force. Just as powerful and well funded as the US Military but focused on the civilian populace. I keep thinking Gestapo.
How is it that people don't like corruption in Washington and yet are willing to vote for someone who blatantly demonstrates it during his campaign? Obama campaign online donation fraud.
She is going to vote for Obama because then she won't have to pay for gas or pay her mortgage anymore. From CaptainCapitalism:
I would like to show her with simple power point presentations that if everybody had her attitude, the country would collapse and there would be no gas and no mortgage because if the world was filled with Peggy's, then nobody would work to drill the oil, refine it into gas, ship it to the gas stations to fill the cars that were never produced, which couldn't be stored anyway because we wouldn't have garages because the houses to which they were supposed to be attached to were never built because the Peggy's of the world were too damn lazy to build the houses in the first place, besides which Barack was going to give them one for free.
