Encouraging poll news for the GOP

Posted by: ST on November 5, 2006 at 10:20 pm » 10 Comments

Brian blogged earlier today about the generic poll shift that is trending to the GOP. Well, there is more encouraging news on that front. Stop The ACLU has the details. On a related election day note, I’d like to remind North Carolina readers that it is not noted on the ballot whether or not a [...]

As you’ve read courtesy of Brian’s earlier post on it, Senator Allen’s stalker Mike Stark, now an Air America “reporter” in addition to being a diarist at the Daily Kos, was handcuffed and detained after getting aggressive at yet another Senator George Allen event. He was released after the person who claimed Stark pushed him [...]

Had a fantastic time in Hotlanta this weekend – hung out with some awesome friends I was meeting face to face for the first time, who I got to know through ST reader Fat Tone – who I also, by the way, got to meet this weekend. FT is an incredible guitarist and just an [...]

Just got an email from Sister Toldjah, and she’s back from her mini-vacation. She says she will be posting a little later this evening, as she has some unpacking to do. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank her for letting me take the helm here for the last few days. It was a [...]

 

Vanity Fair Article Misleading? You Don’t Say?

Posted by: Brian on November 5, 2006 at 5:27 pm » 4 Comments

Basically, the entire Vanity Fair flap boils down to these things: 1) The article in question wasn’t supposed to be out until January, and indeed, it hasn’t been released yet. What we’re seeing is what I guess you would call a press release, in that it’s designed to build up publicity for the article; 2) [...]

 

Once Again: Kerry’s Apology Was Not Genuine

Posted by: Brian on November 5, 2006 at 2:42 pm » 3 Comments

Newsweek dishes the dirt: Chuck Schumer got right to the point. On Thursday afternoon, the New York Senator, who’s leading the Democrats’ efforts to win back the Senate, called John Kerry and let him have it. The Massachussetts Senator’s supposed “botched joke” about the president’s handling of Iraq had become a feast for Republicans—sucking up [...]

They can’t win on the issues, folks, so they lie, lie, lie. Michelle has the entire scoop. Brian runs the website Iowa Voice, and is filling in for ST for a few days.

 

Kos Thug Arrested [Update: Not Arrested...detained]

Seems he went out and took that Air America press pass for a spin…and got busted: Allen supporters know Stark from an incident in Charlottesville earlier this week, where the liberal blogger was tackled and carried out by Allen fans, after shouting a question, and reportedly getting aggressive. And today, Stark wanted to take care [...]

 

Saddam Sentenced To Death

Posted by: Brian on November 5, 2006 at 4:35 am » 22 Comments

Just in: Saddam gets the death sentence: Saddam Hussein was sentenced Sunday to death by hanging for his role in a brutal crackdown nearly 25 years ago in Dujail — the once obscure Iraqi town that is now a symbol of his regime’s cruelty. Also sentenced to death were Barzan Hassan, Saddam Hussein’s half-brother and [...]

 

Big Shift In Generic Polls

Posted by: Brian on November 5, 2006 at 4:20 am » 4 Comments

If you’ve been to my blog in the past, you know that I’m not a huge fan of the polls. I think they tend to be skewed to the left, in that they oversample Democrats and they ask misleading questions or questions designed to prompt a certain answer. In other words, they can be rigged [...]
