What a difference a week makes! This time seven days ago, I was a nervous wreck, so sure that any number of catastrophic potentialities would certainly occur to derail the Obama campaign. By Wednesday afternoon, simply looking at the cover of the pre-election New York Magazine, with Obama on the cover, and speculation of what [...]

Operation Leper.
RedState is pleased to announce it is engaging in a special project: Operation Leper.
We’re tracking down all the people from the McCain campaign now whispering smears against Governor Palin to Carl Cameron and others. Michelle Malkin has the details.
We intend to constantly remind the base about these people, monitor who they are working for, and, [...]

No more polls. No more gaffes. No more McCain. No more Schmidtstorm. No more Davis. No more Palin. No more Palin. No more Palin. No more predictions. No more racebaiting. No more Ayers. No more Wright. No more socialism. No more lies. No more undecided voters. No more Bush. No more Cheney. No more center-right. [...]

It could just be that Virginia isn’t used to the national spotlight or swing-state status, but the reports coming out say there are real issues going on with voting machines and polling locations in this state. Some supposed dirty tricks at play, too. Read about them here and here.
This was a fear of mine. McCain [...]

The brilliance of Obama’s early voting camapaign is beginning to dawn on me. Election lines are going to be massive today. McCain’s enthusiasm is nowhere near as high as Obama’s. Obama, by all accounts, has huge leads in the early vote.
Whose supporters do you think will be more apt to leave a 2-4 hour line? [...]

OK, post-mortems, reflections, and summary statements are for Wednesday. Today, here’s what I think is going to happen.
Obama is going to win. He’s going to keep Pennsylvania, take Iowa, New Mexico and Colorado. That’s 273, and a win.
He’s also going to take Florida, Virginia and Nevada, and I wouldn’t be surprised anymore if he gets [...]

It’s Halloween, and in the spirit of the day, I’m posting a link to a Rolling Stone article from 2 years ago. It’s written by Robert Kennedy Jr., and it details just how the 2004 election was stolen. Yeah, that’s right. The 2004 election was stolen, and I don’t have any doubts about it. This is what keeps me up at night, and this is why I want margins of 5% or better in all these states. It’s also why I don’t think we can win Ohio unless we’re way ahead. The GOP Voter Fraud Machine is powerful. It’s my fear in Pennsylvania, too.

Here it is, Obama’s 30 minute spot that aired on most major networks last night.

As for numbers, about 1 in 5 American households watched it. That is a lot.
I watched the Obama ad last night, and I was absolutely blown away. Some clarification: my professional background is in video editing. I’ve worked on pieces that [...]

OK, so the national polls are definitely tightening a bit. RealClearPolitics has the spread at +5.9 for Obama, down from a +6.7 yesterday. Pollster.com has it at +6 for Obama, down from +7 yesterday. Also, the Pew poll, at 53/38, is increasingly looking out of place, and it’s buffering those numbers some. I’d put the [...]

A very beautiful site over at Talking Points Memo:

Look at how consistent Obama’s lead is in Virginia over the past 4 polls. They all put him at 52%, with McCain 7-9 points behind. It’s glorious.
I was wrong. I thought Florida would win this. It looks like, if Obama holds PA, Virginia is going to win [...]
