Welcome to Fairfax Underground, a project site designed to improve communication among residents of Fairfax County, VA. Feel free to post anything Northern Virginia residents would find interesting.
She is doing well...may help the ticket! Not that I agree with her...but obviously she does well in debates. I'll go back to a statement I made weeks ago...republikans might be better off with Palin on the top. Just keep her away from Couric!
I think McSame would say we couldve won Vietnam..if we just wouldve dropped more bombs...sent more soldiers...held out longer! I say..for what purpose! The years since the end of the war have proven the only thing Vietnam needed was years of peace. They had been at war for most of the 20th century..they needed peace..we didnt belong there...we needed to get out.
But Vietnam isnt the issue..the issue is republikans will be reinvigorated after this debate..we need to stay focused..and get Obama elected.

I guess being "over prepared" is not an issue for her this time.
That’s why the polling process is private.
No matter what people and the media say publicly. When the people step in the polling booth, the people will make the right decision.

Yep: Rube 101. Expanded from transcript, it's even more tragic:
"Uh, nukyuler weaponry, of course, would be the be-all, end-all of just too many people and too many parts of our planet so those dangerous regimes again cannot be allowed to acquire nukyuler weapons, period."
You know, you have to admit, it sure would be nice to have a nice looking lady around the Whitehouse... even if she did change it to the annual moose scat hunt instead of the easter egg roll....

Thats nothing to kid about. Everybody knows moose scat hunting is
lots more fun than hunting for Easter eggs. The only Easter Bunny
worth looking at is in the April issue of Playboy.

Sure, and have Levi's Toyota pick em up truck with the confederate flag in the back window parked out front.
We can have Bristol's kid playing in the yard with Uncle Trig,and Track can be on the porch wearing an old uniform doing crack and breaking windows with a baseball bat (just like the old days). While Sarah walks around wearing a t-shirt that says "Drill, Baby, Drill."
Has anyone made the connection that Trak Palin and Cindy McCain both had been addicted to Oxicontin?
You know folks - I wouldn't put too much stock in those poll numbers yet. National averages tend to overstate swings one way or another, especially since major markets tends to be the polling areas, and the obvious "blue" areas on the map center around large population centers. So while the national numbers can reflect an overall number, the end voting results can be entirely different - as was shown in the last 2 elections.
The only one who has been close is Zogby, and I notice RCP doesn't carry them in the average. Interesting. Also the Gallup poll and others seem to be all over the place. I find it hard to believe that one day it is 8 points and the next 3 pts, with a margin of error at less than 3%. One of the reasons I don't really pay much attention to the polls other than the election day results.
Listening to el Flushbo today he was having orgasms over Sarah Palin’s recent comments. He played her misquoting Madeleine Albright and didn’t acknowledge Secretary Albright’s responce, he played a tape of the Governor dancing around the Bill Ayers facts while accusing Obama of “palling around” with terrorists, and then he played her reference to Obama’s Freddie-Fannie rickety connection while not evening bringing up the name William Timmons, Sr. Rush kept shouting “Bulls eye!,” and “Perfect!.” I am glad to see the Republican talking points made it to Rush OK this morning.

Actually, the state polls are showing Obama pulling ahead. And, with the EXCEPTION of Zogby in 2004, most polls have been pretty accurate as to who will win the election. When you say "last 2 elections," I would note that Gore's "loss" in Florida was within any poll's margin of error, so you can't claim the poll results were "entirely different" in that one.

Zogby is an Internet based poll and has been notoriously unreliable compared to traditional phone polls. Britt Hume on Fox regularly derides Zogby's methodology.

The Gallup polls haven't been "all over the place." The Gallup tracking poll has consistently moved one to two points a day. There was one custom Gallup poll that was off from the tracking poll and that is because the media sponsor used a different methodology and sample size than the tracking poll.
I suggest you go to RCP and look at the national polls for the last 30 days or so. You will see that out of all the polls, McCain has led in only a handful, mostly concentrated around the RNC convention. Also, I suggest you compare the RCP trend chart for the 2004 election with the 2008 election. You will see that the September pattern looks very familiar. Just replace Bush's trendline with Obama's.

Registered voter? That's your response, these poll numbers don't mean shit. Sick today, I expected, "These numbers are all made up, polls can be made to say anything."
After spending a week impugning Obama's loyalty and associating Obama with terrorism, McCain didn't have the stones to bring up those charges in the debate last night.
McCain is a coward.
The country finally woke up to this Rove-inspired crap. No Rational Voter cares about Rezko or Ayers when the country's economy is imploding. The only people who do care are the same old holdouts listening to the same old dog-whistle ('that one').
