A Messiah Walks Into A Bar…….

“Part of my job, I think, as president, is to make government cool again.” — Barack Obama, September 11, 2008. “Cool”? What about “gnarly,” or “rad,” or “totally awesome” or “da bomb”? Take a look at most representatives and….

Posted on an Allahpundit topic about Palin’s positives declining (misleading and incomplete title, and pertaining t a strange and odd poll):

Meanwhile Rasmussen puts NY out of McCains Reach

The race for New York is the closest it’s been in six months, but Barack Obama still leads John McCain by 13 points, 55% to 42%, in the latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of voters in the state.

I’m sorry I was apparently right on this.

I have always thought that the Peoples Republic of Maryland was a lost cause and not with a conservative effort. On the other hand, I felt essentially the same way about New York . . . who knows anymore?

I will say this, though, spending just enough to force Barry into a defensive battle inside his border (thus draining resources from battleground states that are well within McCain’s reach) would be a master stroke. Keep the Hillary folks in play as long as possible, keep Barry’s resources going to New York (where advertising is much more expensive than, say, Ohio or Florida).

spmat on September 15, 2008 at 6:01 PM

My point exactly. Where better or more effectively, to deploy Rudy than New York to force Obama into a defensive on his own turf. Palin’s big swing should be through Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Ohio where I think she can really connect with the voters and help swing/hold three big states.

Would it really be such a bad idea to have her Strike North, so to speak, after a swing through Pennsylvania?

It’s not like I’m saying send her into New England, although, I think she’d play very well in New Hampshire
and Maine.

Gotta try and grab as many states as you can. Electoral landslides can’t be dismissed as “stolen” wins.

I agree, generally speaking. Why is the Dope not being called out as a doctrinaire run-of-the-mill *MARXIST* ~~community organizer~~ street thug? Treating him as reasonable allows him to be perceived as such by the people who don’t really pay attention.

Tacky Obama labels Palin “just another Bush to preside in the White House” while simultaneously charging Palin for not knowing the “Bush Doctrine”. This argument is the equivalent of voting “present” and never deciding to vote “Yes” or “No” on an essential piece of legislation, as if “present” functions simultaneously as “Yes AND No”.

Obama’s personal religious bigotry labeled Palin’s faith “Christianist” in the same dialogue that he referenced his own “Muslim beliefs”. Neither McCain nor Palin has ever discussed Obama’s faith, nor will they.

Political ideology is the name of the game this election. So spit it out. There’s no rule requiring conservatives to swill down Marxism in order to be popular or win an election. To the contrary. Spit it out. Label it loud and clear. Produce and publicize non stop all of Marx’s failures past, present, and in the works projecting into tomorrow.

[...] Commenter greggriffith, commenting on this Hot Air Post [h/t Instapundit] makes a very good point: What’s happening now in the Democratic party is that the ideological liberals (Dean, MoveOn, Kos, et al) have succeeded in wresting control from the institutional liberals (Hillary, Lieberman, et al). Where the Republicans have largely been successful at shearing off and marginalizing the influence in their own party of people like David Duke, Pat Buchanan, and less conservative but equally nutty types like Ross Perot, the Democrats have not. They have gone from Mondale, to Dukakis, to Clinton, to Gore, to Kerry, to Obama – a nearly unbroken linear progression from garden-variety liberal to wackadoo liberal. [...]

How awesome would it be if NY goes red this November? Ahhh…never thought I’d live to see the day it was even remotely possible. JetBoy on September 15, 2008 at 6:33 PM

Ahhh. It would be awesome. The stuff HA dreams are made of.

We’ll see. The mo is all McCain and defense is not the strong suit of Obambi and O’Biden.
