1. Kinda looks like FISA to me.

OK, I'm beginning to think that was a bigger mistake than I did at the time.

[Seen the light]

15. Of course it is

I'm sure it won't end up costing him the election, but it was a monumentally idiotic thing for him to do. It's no coincidence that his leads have started to fizzle out in the polls conducted during the height of the FISA debacle of a few days ago.

People on DU were telling me that it was a "brilliant strategic maneuver." Brilliant strategic maneuver my ass.

2. DavidD, do you know if Rasmussen has changed their Party ID percentages recently?

Might explain the sudden drop. K/R for the detailed info!

[DavidDvorkin]

9. No, I don't

To be honest, I've never tried to delve into those details. I don't know if they're readily available on the site.

[phrigndumass]

11. If I spot those details somewhere, I'll post them here

Sometimes 538.com has them.

:hi:

12. Thanks.

DU can always use more light and less heat. :)

3. it has nothing to do with fisa

obama has gotten behind the 8 ball on 2 issues. energy independence and his comment that we all should learn spanish.

with an unpopular war and tanking economy al franken should be able to win the white house this year. obama should be ahead by 15+ right now. he has allowed the republicans to define him.

4. McCain's blunders aren't covered as much in general, either.

A McCain victory in November undeniably makes the USA more of a tragedy / laughing stock in many ways akin to, say, Zimbabwe or North Korea when one takes into account what a 'world leader' and enlightened nation it purports to be.

7. the media likes mccain

and you are right, his gaffes are not covered.

[L0oniX]

13. Like these gaffes?

"I disagree with what the majority of the American people want." --John McCain (...and I disagree that you are not senile.)

"I 'Don't See How It Matters' That I Don't Know The Price Of Gas." --John McCain (Elite anyone?)

"Only the most deluded of us could doubt the necessity of this war." --John McCain (Well I am deluded then.)

"Thank God for our form of government. The media won't let there be any cover-up." --John McCain (Someone lied to us? What? Valerie Plame who?)

"We must win in Iraq. If we withdraw, there will be chaos; there will be genocide; and they will follow us home." --John McCain (Glad I still have that fallout shelter in muh back yard.)

"I am fully prepared to be commander in chief... I don't need on-the-job training." --John McCain (Who does these days?)

"Remember the words of Chairman Mao: 'It's always darkest before it's totally black.'." --John McCain (I noticed that the other day when the sun went down it got dark.)

"I will veto every single beer, um, bill with earmarks." --speaking at the National Small Business Summit, Washington, D.C., June 10, 2008 (Damn those sneaky beers trying to slip those dirty earmarks in.)

"We should be able to deliver bottled hot water to dehydrated babies." --Kenner, Louisiana, June 3, 2008 (My baby is hot!)

"I'm going to be honest: I know a lot less about economics than I do about military and foreign policy issues. I still need to be educated." --John McCain (Well I am happy that he decided to be honest for a change.)

"I am a illiterate that has to rely on my wife for all of the assistance I can get." -after being asked whether us uses a Mac or a PC (Ok I am going to donate my Atari 800XL to the poor old fuck.)

"It's not social issues I care about." --John McCain (Geeze ..could have fooled me.)

"F**k you! I know more about this than anyone else in the room." --to Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), during a testy exchange about immigration legislation (Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.)

"No, I'm calling you a fucking jerk." --to fellow Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley, when Grassley asked "Are you calling me stupid?" (Glad we got that one cleared up. Wouldn't want to send the wrong message.)

"I said, 'The nice thing about Alzheimer's is you get to hide your own Easter eggs.'" --John McCain (I can only hope he forgets why he is running for president.)

"Do you know why Chelsea Clinton is so ugly? Because Janet Reno is her father." --at a 1998 Republican fundraiser (So you're saying you had a 3 way?)

"I will conduct a respectful debate. Now, it will be dispirited -- it will be spirited -- because there are stark differences. I am a proud conservative, liberal Republica-- conservative Republican...Hello? Easy there." --John McCain (The spirits are about to speak.)

“I think I am becoming incapable of being too surprised. But it just makes me sad and sick.” --John McCain quote (Bingo ..yes you are sad and sick.)

"I would vote for a Muslim if he or she was the best candidate able to lead the country and defend our political values." --John McCain (I'd even vote for a Nazi.)

"I hate the gooks. I will hate them as long as I live." --John McCain (Gee I hope no one here is a gook.)

14. Spanish?

That hasn't even been on the radar screen- though I agree, the campaign has created a negative impression in the electorate (and particularly with the base) with incongruent statements and policies on a multitude of issues (one after another for several weeks).

It's almost as if the campaign went on the offensive against its own supporters- rather than against the Republican machine (and their enablers in the Democratic party).

[nevergiveup]

5. So Democrats

are switching over to McCain because of Obama's vote on FISA? Upset because of his vote?...absolutely, but switching to McCain?....no way. Presidential polls during the summer before an election are all over the place. There was a Zogby poll out of Arizona a few days ago showing Obama up in Arizona by a few points. I don't believe this one either.
