An appeal to Grass Roots America Part 2!You can read Part 1 hereYES WE CAN! WE CAN WIN! WE MUST WIN! TURNOUT! TURNOUT! TURNOUT!Forget all the polls, all the stories made up to make news and suppress votes. The only vote that counts is the one on election day. How many votes does it take to win an election you ask? It takes just one vote, yours. If our turnout is as close to 100% as we can make it, we will win the election, that's a fact. We must cancel out the votes of not just the democrats who...

This is Drudge's main headline but there is no story. Why would Drudge post this since he himself has a long history of standing opposed to the MSM.

On September 6, 2001, then-state senator Barack Obama appeared on a public radio chat show to discuss "Slavery and the Constitution." You can listen to the whole show HERE. In that show -- WBEZ-FM's "Odyssey" -- Obama discussed the role of the courts in civil rights. Today, aides say, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., will seize on some of those remarks, as hyped by Mr. Drudge. Obama in that interview said, "If you look at the victories and failures of the civil rights movement, and its litigation strategy in the court, I think where it succeeded was to vest formal rights...

County GOP chief expects 2-to-1 turnout ratio to moderate by Nov. 4 Democrats who voted early or requested an absentee ballot outnumber Republicans 2-to-1 in Franklin County, a trend that is "eye-opening, if not shocking," a national election expert said. "It cannot be good news for the GOP that early voting turnout is trending so heavily Democratic," said Paul Gronke, executive director of the Early Voting Information Center at Reed College in Oregon. "I can think of no good reason why Republican voters are holding their ballots that is good news." Of the 29,661 Franklin County residents who cast ballots...

Monday, October 27, 2008 The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows Barack Obama attracting 51% of the vote while John McCain earns 46%. Obama’s five-point advantage is down from an eight-point lead yesterday but up a point from the lead he held a week ago. With today’s results, Obama has been ahead by four-to-eight points every single day for 32 straight days (see trends).

Zogby and Wash Compost have Odummy up by 7-8 pts.

HONOLULU, Hawaii – Although the legitimacy of Sen. Barack Obama's birth certificate has become a focus of intense speculation – and even several lawsuits – WND has learned that Hawaii's Gov. Linda Lingle has placed the candidate's birth certificate under seal, and instructed the state's Department of Health to make sure no one in the press obtains access to the original document under any circumstances.

Video here. Classic line when she refers to the flag pin, an "accessory" Obama dislikes. Anyone who has pictures of Sarah Palin, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Laura Ingraham, and other both principled and attractive conservative women, please post them all here. Who can post the most? Let the contest begin.

Zombietime considers the Democrats' meta-campaign and argues they have adopted the worst possible strategy; bluffing when they are going to have to show their hand on November 4. This is an in interesting read, perhaps the most interesting piece on strategy I have read this year. Best of all, it points to Richard Nixon's answer to the problem of dealing with media bias. In 1968, Richard Nixon did the exact reverse of what the Democrats are now doing. Instead of announcing bombastically that he and the Republicans had complete domination of the media and the electorate, his key campaign slogan...

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows Barack Obama attracting 52% of the vote while John McCain earns 44%. This eight point advantage matches Obama’s biggest lead of the year in a race that has been remarkably stable down the stretch. A week ago today, Obama was up by five. Two weeks ago, he was up by seven (see trends). Today’s results mark the 30th straight day that Obama’s support has stayed between 50% and 52%. During that period, the number voting for McCain has stayed in the 44% to 46% range every day and the gap...

I have a column in the Wall Street Journal today on how to read the polls. I have been influenced, as careful readers might guess, by looking ahead to my work with the Decision Desk at Fox News Channel on election night. Exit polls in recent presidential contests have tended to show Democrats doing better than they actually did, and exit polls in most of the Democratic primaries this year showed Barack Obama doing better than he actually did. So, we can be pretty sure that when the first Edison/Mitofsky exit poll numbers are released to media clients, including Fox...

How are you holding up? I am heavily medicated. What are you taking? I’m teasing. It’s just a line from one of my favorite movies, “Spinal Tap.” I feel I should be heavily medicated. In the past few weeks you’ve been pilloried by the right for a column you contributed to a Web site, “Sorry, Dad, I’m Voting for Obama.” What I mounted in The Daily Beast was an argument. It was not an attitudinal riff — it was not “John McCain is an old snarly-pants.” I presented a thoughtful argument, and it was viewed as apostasy. As a result,...

Barack Obama's campaign killed all interviews with a Florida TV station after Sen. Joe Biden, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, faced tough and critical questions from a reporter at the Orlando station, the Orlando Sentinel reported . During a satellite video Thursday, WFTV's Barbara West quoted Karl Marx and asked Biden how Obama's comment to "Joe the Plumber," about spreading the wealth wasn't being Marxist. "Are you joking?," Biden asked. West replied, "No."

PHILADELPHIA — A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit challenging Barack Obama's qualifications to be president. U.S. District Judge R. Barclay Surrick on Friday night rejected the suit by attorney Philip J. Berg, who alleged that Obama was not a U.S. citizen and therefore ineligible for the presidency. Berg claimed that Obama is either a citizen of his father's native Kenya or became a citizen of Indonesia after he moved there as a boy. Obama was born in Hawaii to an American mother and a Kenyan father. His parents divorced, and his mother married an Indonesian man. Internet-fueled conspiracy theories...

Can this year's presidential race end peacefully? Earlier this year (July 20th to be precise) I published a column entitled “If Obama Loses In November, Will America Suffer?” In it, I referenced the many things that were being said and written about the historical and cultural significance of Obama’s candidacy (especially the many things that Obama has written about his “life’s journey,” and the extraordinary declarations that he has made about his own historical significance). I then contemplated what might happen if, despite all the “significance” of his candidacy, Obama were to actually lose the election. As I pointed out...

Although Senator Barack Obama has been allied with a succession of far left individuals over the years, that is only half the story. There are, after all, some honest and decent people on the left. But these have not been the ones that Obama has been allied with— allied, not merely "associated" with. ACORN is not just an organization on the left. In addition to the voter frauds that ACORN has been involved in over the years, it is an organization with a history of thuggery, including going to bankers' homes to harass them and their families, in order to...

I have no idea where Obama was born but this ridiculous that Obama just ignored a court order to produce a birth certificate. Will somebody with better legal knowledge help me understand how Obama ignores the court order and the same day wins the lawsuit? If I were sued for something, and I didn't respond to the lawsuit, I would automatically lose and have a judgment entered against me. NewsMax says he ignores lawsuit http://www.newsmax.com/politics/obama_birth_certificate/2008/10/24/143882.html Then Judge rules in favor of Obama and calls claims "ridiculous" and "patently false" http://www.newsmax.com/insidecover/obama_birth_certificate/2008/10/25/144048.html

Share the wealth. Those three words should send shudders down the spine of any hardworking, over-taxed, get-government-out-of-my-pocketbook American. Yet the image and rhetoric of Barack Obama has buried his progressive government-knows-best philosophy.
