As part of my research duties, I scour right wing blogs and websites to get somewhat of a “feel” as to what is being talked about on the other side. Much of it is nonsense, but there are some exceptions which give the campaign jitters. A spirited campaign has been made to infiltrate many pro-Hillary sites and discredit them. A more disorganized, but genuine effort has also been made to sow doubts among the unapologetically right wing sites such as redstate.com. Don’t you guys get it? This has been the Obama campaign’s sole strategy from the very beginning! The only way he wins is over a dispirited, disorganized, and demobilized opposition. This is how it has been for all of his campaigns. What surprises me is that everyone has fallen for it. You may point to the polls as proof of the inevitability of all of this. If so, you have fallen for the oldest trick in the book. How did we skew these polls, you might ask? It all starts with the media “buzz” which has been generated over the campaign. Many stories are generated on the powerful Obama ground game, and how many new voters were registered. None of this happens by coincidence. It is all part of the poll-skewing process. This makes pollsters change their mixes to reflect these new voters and tilt the mix more towards Democratic voters. What is not mentioned or reported on is not the “under-reported cell phone users or young voters” we hear so much about. What is underreported is you.
RENDELL/RICHARDSON/RUBIN

But the American Spectator magazine reported Monday that federal law enforcement sources told them that federal officials were also investigating others including Mr. Rendell.
The magazine’s Washington Prowler blog said, “It isn’t just Obama and Richardson that Rubin has ties to. According to federal law enforcement officials familiar with the investigation, federal officials are also looking into CDR’s political and financial ties to Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell, as well as to Democrat state and local officials in Illinois, California, Florida and Pennsylvania.”
The circumstances being investigated in the Richardson case are similar to transactions involving Mr. Rubin in Pennsylvania. During the period Mr. Rubin donated tens of thousands of dollars to Mr. Rendell, he received a contract from the Pennsylvania state government.Mr. Rendell’s spokesman, Chuck Ardo, said that the governor knew Mr. Rubin from his days as DNC chairman. He insisted there is nothing inappropriate about their relationship.
