Democratic Pollster Zogby Says the Pieces are in Place for an Electoral Landslide

Pollster John Zogby, an American of Arab descent with no love for the Bush administration or Republicans, said in a promotional forum for his new book that all of the structural components are in place for an Electoral Collge landslide - for John McCain.

Zogby, speaking before a group in Rochester, NY, said that the election will remain close until the end, but much like Ronald Reagan's 1980 victory, it will break hard for McCain at the end, and push him over the top in an electoral landslide.

"Essentially the election is at equilibrium," he said. "This election will stay close until the end."

He also pointed out that despite writing 2 bestselling books, Barack Hussein Obama had failed to close the sale with the American people, or convince them that he's the safer choice in a troubled times.

Zogby is simply reinforcing what we've been thinking here at OGOD for a long time. In the end, it won't be very close.

OGOD!

BHO Screws the Pooch Again

So yesterday the whole sub-prime mortgage "crisis" breaks out all over the media, with McCain suspending his campaign to rush back to Washington to deal with getting a relief bill through Congress. First, Obama shows his decisive leadership by declaring that he'll show up only "if they need me." Way to lead like a President, BHO.

But that's not the best part. In the midst of a hastily called and off teleprompter news conference, BHO unleashes this sure to be classic OGOD:

"With respect to the debates, it’s my belief that this is exactly the time when the American people need to hear from the person who, in approximately 40 days, will be responsible for dealing with this mess."



Um, no Barry, there won't a "new person resposible" for dealing with "this mess" in 40 days, It's forty days until the election, Brainiac. John McCain doesn't take office until January, 2009.

Now try to imagine the reaction if McCain or Palin had said something this stupid.

OGOD!

Is the B. Hussein Obama Campaign Writing off Pennsylvania?

For the second time in 2 days, BHO's VP candidate has taken a position diametrically opposed to that of his ticket leader. At a rally in Ohio, he came out strongly against any kind of coal plant, including the so-called "clean coal."



Hmm, "No coal plants here in America" is pretty unoquivocal, and it is in stark contrast to the Obama campaign's platform position on the issue:

Develop and Deploy Clean Coal Technology.
Obama’s Department of Energy will enter into public private partnerships to develop five “first-of-a-kind” commercial scale coal-fired plants with clean carbon capture and sequestration technology.

The other big problem is that it effectively writes off most parts of Western Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia. Without at least a split in Western PA, Obama has no hope of carrying the state in November. Keep in mind however that Pennsylvania is run by Governor Ed "How many votes do you need?" Rendell, so it may be tough for McCain to win a close one there. But also remember that Rendell was a staunch supporter of Hillary Clinton, and has no love for Obama.

So the question is, what's up? Well, we here at OGOD have an idea; Maybe this isn't a gaffe by Biden at all, but a a trial ballon by the BHO campaign. Is it possible that BHO sees the writing on the wall in Pennsylvania, where a recent poll (corrected to match the demographic make-up of the 2006 election) shows McCain with a 49-46 advantage, and where BHO is bleeding rural voters and hockey mom's at an alarming rate? Could this be the start of a new -- and desperate -- electoral strategy to write off Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania and instead appeal to the hardcore envriofanatics in Colrado, New Mexico and Nevada?

Under this strategy, he gives up Pennsylvania's 21 electoral votes, but grabs 19 back from those three western states. This would still leave him in an electoral deficit at 281 to 257, unless he can somehow manage to pry Virgina, which all the polls show is close, away from the republicans for the first time in a generation.


From 270 to Win.com

If true, it's a hyper risky strategty for BHO, but with the way he's bleeding in the polls, he may have no choice but to roll the hard 6.

"Gas Prices are at an All time High"

The BHO campaign sent out an email to his followers last Thursday (the 18th) which contains the following little ditty:

"The economy hit a new low this week, and in every part of the country, people like you are feeling it.

More than 600,000 Americans have lost their jobs since January. Home foreclosures are skyrocketing, and home values are plunging. Gas prices are at an all-time high..."

Um, Earth to BHO; gas prices are not at an "all time high." The price of gasoline has dropped 28 cents, or about 6.3% since June. I paid $3.55 at Costco the other day.

But don't let that get in the way of a good bit of politicking, BHO. It's not like the truth matters or anything...

OGOD!

UPDATE: And then there's this study by 2 LA Times reporters. It turns out gas is actually more affordable now than it was in the halcyon days of gas guzzling muscle cars:

"Although it's true that the real (inflation-adjusted) and nominal (posted) prices of gasoline are higher than at any time since World War II, even at the recent peak national average of $4.11 a gallon (California's average Friday was $4.17), gasoline is still more affordable today than it was during the Kennedy administration. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke worries that increasing fuel prices might eat up so much disposable income that it flat-lines consumer spending and tanks the economy. But it's difficult to square that worry with what we call the "affordability index" -- the ratio of the average person's disposable income to the price of gasoline.

After studying the average yearly price of gasoline from 1949 to 2007, and assigning the number "1" to the ratio in 1960, we found today's prices comparable to what they were in 1960 (1.35 today to 1.00 in 1960, with a high of 3.32 in 1998). The higher the gasoline affordability index figure, the lower the price of gasoline relative to disposable income."

"This Campaign is About Those Who Will Never See the Inside of a Building Like This..."

BHO, at a $28,500 dollar per-plate fundraiser in Hollywood:

"Just remember what this campaign has been about from the start, it's not about Barack Obama it's not Joe Biden or Sarah Palin or John McCain... It's about you and it's about us and it's about those who will never see the inside of a building like this."

Of course, when Obama spoke those eloquent words acknowledging the everyman who can never afford to hang out with the coke snorting, whore mongering millionaires and billionaires who make up his most loyal constituency (Hollywood), he was in Greystone Mansion -- which is now a museum and open to the public.

Ooops...

OGOD!

"What Can I Tell You"

All I can say is that Obama must be getting desperate if he was willing to go on the O'Reilly Factor after the convention. He's already losing white men and independents, and now white women have turned against him. Watch him get chewed up by Bill O'Reilly on Fox News on the question of his relationship with the infamous Reverend Wright starting at about the 4:30 mark:



So, O'Reilly nails him when he claims he never heard Wright say "Not God bless America, God damn America!" when he points out that the very speeches that are now so famous were for sale in the church's lobby every time Obama went to attend services there. Obama's response? "What can I tell you."

"What can I tell you?!"

Uh, well BHO, how about a substantive response to the question. Is it really credible that you didn't know, for over 20 years, that your "spiritual mentor" harbored such fierce anti-American views? And that you never noticed the videos for sale in the lobby? What can I tell you isn't an answer, it's a punt. And we can't afford a president who punts.

I'm trying to imagine what kind of a President he would make under pressure...

Reporter: "President Obama, the Iranians just launched a nuclear weapon from an offshore barge using a using a North Korean missile that could have been shot down using 1980's technology, but you pulled all the funding for missile defense. Given that Los Angeles is now a burning cinder, and the Wild Goose is no longer open, how can you defend this judgment you made?"

President Obama: "What can I tell you."

I'm beginning to get the impression the guy is trying to lose this election...
