Boy that is huge. WI is one of those must have Democrat states.
This is VERY IMPORTANT NEWS. If McCain wins Wisconsin, he’ll probably get Iowa and Michigan too. Wisconsin’s liberals will be drawn to Obama, but Rasmussen’s samplings know that.
Bottom line . . . McCain’s reputation as an independent maverick may prove to be the VERY BEST nominee the GOP could have picked. A far right conservative would not have been able to get the independent moderates that McCain can, and they will be needed to offset these supposed new, young voters Obama is bringing to the table.
To my knowledge, Boone Pickens made a bet with Kerry that Pickens would pay Kerry a million bucks if he could prove one thing wrong that the Swift Boaters charged. But in order to play, Kerry had to turn over his SF15, diary, and other relevant papers.
Anyone know more about this?
Only that Kerry said he would take the bet. Noth’n said from Kerry yet. LoL!
I wonder why AP would not have did a FOIA request to get Kerry’s SF15? (sarcasm/)
The same margin that President Bush was leading by and lost the state by < 1%
Bradley Effect
Wisconsin is vital to any Democrat plans for victory.
That's why I suspect the Dems use vote fraud in the Cheesehead state to put them over the top when it's close.

You probably also suspect the sun of rising in the East.
And I suspect the sun sets in the West. ;-)
MCCain bump. We sure don’t want Hillary or Obama.
This is something to watch.
Now is the time to appeal our brand to more voters and McCain is just the guy to do that.
There is an inevitability to folks understanding, accepting and embracing the core reality of principle — which is, oddly, that there are no conservatives, and no liberals.
There are only people more conservative than others, and more liberal than others.
This is as it has always been. It is absolutism. An absolute truth. The folks who want to believe that “they are conservatives” are relativists because it is a contorted theory. To think there is some absolute measure of conservatism is to think that there is some absolute array of issues that defines it — and there is not. There are only relative positions. Abortion is the obvious example.
Someone who thinks they are “a conservative” will say “life begins at conception”. But this was not the original definition of “pro life”. Originally, “pro life” opposed contraception as unnatural. Worse, now, the definition of “conception” is not clear. The egg membrane and sperm don’t have an interface. The membrane’s thickness has a measurement. The sperm can be partially thru or not thru at all or entirely thru. Because it is entirely thru does not mean the DNA transfer has taken place. So . . . what is conception? What is the precise moment of it? At what instant in time did it occur and were it interrupted amid that process, is that abortion? The point being . . . it’s all relative.
And so we see that same absolute truth in a macro sense. That some things and some people are more conservative than others. Like McCain is in comparison to Obama.
Sophistry at it's very best. We don't need to know the "instant at time" that conception takes place to know that after conception a a new human being has been conceived. Moreover, except for the morning after pill, all induced abortions take place after the woman knows she has conceived.
Good sophistry though as far as sophistry goes.
Oooh. A label.
Sort of like “conception”.
