Its Over.

A follow up on my last entry:

Its over. Gallup reports that his lead has expanded to 9 points, meaning that the public has officially bought into his garbage. 

Even if this bounce is temporary it gives us the following clues about the media/public:

--They don't care that he arrogantly outlined his military policy before he even talked to the commanders.

--They don't care that he refused to admit that he was wrong about the surge in spite of blindingly obvious evidence to the contrary.

--They don't care that he lied about his commitee assignments in an effort to look tough on Iran.

--They don't care that he gave a speech devoid of anything other than vague generalities and pleas for more troops for Afghanistan that no one wants to give us.

--They don't care that he snubbed wounded troops and then lied about the reason he did so.

I'd say that any one of those incidents should have told the public that something was wrong about this guy. Instead, we get the opposite result.

I know I sound bitter. But if he can get away with this he can get away with anything.

Nothings Over

2008 is 1976 all over again.

Ford erased a 20+ point gap to almost 0. 1988, Bush went from 17 pt deficit to almost 10 point win. Forget the polls - did Obama's trip prove anything new?  You say:

-They don't care that he arrogantly outlined his military policy before he even talked to the commanders.

--They don't care that he refused to admit that he was wrong about the surge in spite of blindingly obvious evidence to the contrary.

--They don't care that he lied about his commitee assignments in an effort to look tough on Iran.

--They don't care that he gave a speech devoid of anything other than vague generalities and pleas for more troops for Afghanistan that no one wants to give us.

--They don't care that he snubbed wounded troops and then lied about the reason he did so.

The flipside is

- Obama arrogantly outlined his military policy before he even talked to the commanders.

-- Obama refused to admit that he was wrong about the surge in spite of blindingly obvious evidence to the contrary.

-- Obama lied about his commitee assignments in an effort to look tough on Iran.

-- Obama gave a speech devoid of anything other than vague generalities and pleas for more troops for Afghanistan that no one wants to give us.

-- Obama snubbed wounded troops and then lied about the reason he did so.

You say  people dont care about these above facts. Wrong. They werent told any of this by the Obamedia and the glowing reviews and buzz and photo op visuals overwhelmed that.  Go ahead and send these highlights as letters to the editor, make these points the 'narrative' on the trip in blogs, and keep the conversation going.

Obama was wrong on Iraq and can be naiked to the wall on it. Hammer it home. McCain can win the election if these facts are raised and made part of the campaign discussion.

People don't vote in lockstep with the MSM

I know how you feel and have nearly arrived at this conclusion several times after watching even short increments of MSNBC or CNN. In addition to having watched these networks, I'm also a college student in Washington, which means my daily exposure to all three of Barack Obama's political bases might lead me to believe that the entire nation is on his side.

Do not assume that Americans vote with the mainstream media. While the media's phony introspection on it's own overt bias toward Obama has been comical, the American people have caught on to this infatuation long ago, and the closeness of the polls indicate that they are not amused. The Obama hype has become so big that independents will ultimately break for or against him, as Patrick Ruffini pointed out here, more likely than they will for or against Bush. And while many Americans' cynicism toward the media won't be enough to sink Obama, it may be an important factor in driving these swing voters toward McCain in November.

Hardly over. USA Today/Gallup

Hardly over. USA Today/Gallup released a poll today that shows McCain leading Obama amongst likely voters.
