Turns out McCain’s offshore drilling proposal is a big winner, at least in Florida.

First, voters believe more drilling will reduce the price of gas (that’s because they are not all retarded and know about the law of supply and demand – unlike some liberal Democrat nominees we know). On this issue, McCain is killing Obama. From Rasmussen:

Rasmussen Reports conducted a special Florida survey to measure the immediate impact of the offshore drilling issue on the Presidential race. As one part of the survey, respondents were told that McCain favored offshore drilling and said it would bring down the price of gas and oil. They were also told that Barack Obama opposed offshore drilling and said it would not bring down the price of gas and oil. After hearing the views of both McCain and Obama, most Florida voters agreed with McCain–61% said it was likely that offshore drilling would reduce gas prices. Only 34% disagreed and said that offshore drilling would not accomplish that goal.

The best part is that McCain gets three points for the drilling proposal alone. Read the rest of this entry »

So much for the 50 State Strategy, announced just one week ago. The Obama camp spins this as outlining several different paths to victory, but it sure looks like they are already on Plan B.

In a private pitch late last week to donors and former supporters of Hillary Rodham Clinton, Obama campaign manager David Plouffe outlined several alternatives to reaching the 270 electoral votes needed to win the White House that runs counter to the conventional wisdom of recent elections.

At a fundraiser held at a Washington brewery Friday, Plouffe told a largely young crowd that the electoral map would be fundamentally different from the one in 2004. Wins in Ohio and Florida would guarantee Obama the presidency if he holds onto the states won by Democrat John Kerry, Plouffe said, but those two battlegrounds aren’t required for victory.

Florida, which has 27 electoral votes this year, gave the presidency to George W. Bush in the disputed election of 2000. Ohio, with its 20 electoral votes, ensured Bush of re-election in 2004 in his race against Kerry. Neither state was hospitable to Obama this year. Clinton handily won in Ohio and she prevailed in Florida although the national party had punished the state and the candidates didn’t campaign there.

Have the bitter clingers in Ohio and the Israel-loving Jews in Florida found something to dislike about Obama? Read the rest of this entry »

So the Democrats have chosen their nominee.

He didn’t win the popular vote.

She has earned more votes than anyone in the history of the Democratic primaries-more than 17 million. And when the primaries conclude on Tuesday, Hillary will maintain her popular vote advantage.

They did not count all the votes. Read the rest of this entry »

As the Democrat primary debacle continues to rumble along, the Obamanation, and his people, want to allow all of the FL delegates to be seated, but each one will only get 1/2 of a vote.

Anyone else remember a time in the US when people were counted as 3/5?

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Barry likes winning on technicalities though. He has a past history of using the rules to his advantage.

When BHO ran for the Senate, this is how it happened:

Update

FL and MI delegates will all be seated. Delegates from both states will receive 1/2 vote each.

New Dem slogan: Count every other vote.
