In that case, perhaps the whole purpose of it is to discourage the use of Wright in the last few days. I agree, they would much prefer to let sleeping dogs lie.
Sarah P sounds like Margaret Thatcher....yeah that is the ticket....the followup at the PUMA site from Sarah P is interesting.
Good post! The only thing I disagree with is the Bradley effect. I don’t think real conservatives are subject to the Bradley effect because they aren’t racists. Liberals are truly the racists. I don’t think most intelligent people are entertained or enamored by surveys and polls. Sueveys and polls are designed to make you “feel” like you have contributed your opinion and that they will really listen to you. These people taking surveys don’t give a crap about what you think.
Truth be told, any sane person would have run as far as they could from the Klinton’s.
The poster also contradicts himself, saying that Palin "has had a minimal impact on pulling disaffected Hillary Democrats," and then later in the same paragraph stating that she "had some appeal to independents and Hillary voters." Which one is it?
This "Annonymous" writer puts together a list of states where Obama "has no chance," and a lot of them are going to be truly competitive, and look very promising for McCain, but then he drops New Hampshire on the list. McCain has a fighting chance there, but there's no way that anybody can say that Obama "has no chance" in New Hampshire. I think we'll pull it off, but to say Obama "has no chance" would indicate McCain could pull up roots there today and be sure he could coast through to victory. Not so.
The Bradley Effect, if there is one, is also not ten percentage points. Also, during the primaries, there was actually a reverse Bradley Effect in states with high percentages of blacks, like Virginia and North Carolina, where Obama ended up getting far more votes than expected. So to say that they're being written off because of the Bradley Effect means the poster doesn't actually understand what the Bradley Effect supposedly does (if it's real at all — there's a lot of debate about that, too).
I'll take any good news I can ahead of Tuesday's election, and I'm saying daily prayers for victory, but I'd say the value of this article is more in the weight of its ideas than the veracity of its source.
“Fake, but accurate.”
That’s how I took this.
We had Operation Chaos. What’s to say that Operation PUMA wasn’t concocted by the left?
I dunno check this out. People have gone over the edge!

“Fake, but accurate.”
That best sums it up.
This is the second “rogue” Obama campaigner to make a “confession” over the past 3 days.
I can’t decipher the motivation, but the information itself appears to be accurate.
To be fair to Obama here, if the only thing standing between Hillary and the Presidency was your beating heart, would you feel safe?
“i think it is a conservative with an imagination, trying to vicariously live out the role of the heroic Obama supporter who has seen the light and tells us all their secrets. It’s a fantasy”
or it’s Rove.
That is one of my worries.
“What’s to say that Operation PUMA wasn’t concocted by the left?”
Have you spent time on their websites?
They are genuinely ticked off.
Last week they posted old threads for the newcomer republicans describing the nasty e-mail from Donna Brazille that inspired their movement.
I cannot possibly see the benefit to the left.
These people are showing up at McCain offices and working to get out the vote -making calls - attending rallies - putting up their signs.
Nope - this is a genuine re-alignment the msm refuses to acknowledge.
Like Dan Rather: Fake, but accurate?
I brought this up to a lib. She wrote it off as just a disgruntled ex-employee.
Note to Self: Nothing's gonna sway the left wing, better to focus on the "fence-sitters" at this point.
I used to think the same thing TOL- but there are countless websites run by disgrunted Hillary supporters- we know some of them from Cavuto’s interviews with them on FOX. When you go to their blogs and read their posts- they make a compelling case against Obama (not that we need convincing) and there are lists for signing up volunteers, meeting places, working for “Democrats for McCain etc.
I tend to think they are real and will have an effect on the 4th.
“I don’t think this is real.”
You may be right, but I don’t see any obvious cracks. It could be real.
