I love how when NBC gets exposed for pulling the content, they just put it back out there and claim all sorts of "new reasons" why it was pulled in the first place.


What's even weirder tho - that libs somehow express "victory" that this never occurred in the first place.  Man, libs will fall for literally anything.

^ yeah, you're right, i should take the word of realclearpolitics at face value over the myriad sources that debunk their spurious claims.  how silly of me!  i must be all hopped up on that obama kool aid...

Yes, its all a big conspiracy.

BTW, the CEO of GE, the parent company of NBC and owner of "Saturday Night Live" gave the maximum contribution to John McCain. But he's in the tank for the libs!

same with Ed Snider, owner of the Philadelphia Flyers.  he is a far-rightie who has given millions to rightist causes in addition to the maximum contributions to McCain and the RNC. 

but i'm sure asking Palin to throw out the puck was a politically neutral move! 

Are you complaining about Palin getting too much "ice time"

So what do you folks think are the chances that Obama will be able to take Missouri?

Quite possibly the dumbest logic I've ever read on this board.


As if the CEO is actually dictating the web content of a subsidiary.   Seriously, a putrid rebuttal by you Max.   You're smarter than this.

judging from the polling i'd have to say it's 55/45 in favor of mccain right now, but with the polls showing a near dead heat and most of them within the margin of error it's really tough to say.

ultimately i think mccain pulls out missouri though.  of course it might not matter if obama takes florida and/or ohio before the missouri polls even close.

It might be an outlier, but a new Survey USA poll indicates Obama enjoying an eight-point lead, 51 to 43 percent, over McCain.

I don't have the link, but the story is available on the Star's Prime Buzz site.

i saw that in rcp's polling data this morning, but i don't buy it just yet.

Beyond retarded.

I know there are people on the right that would boo Obama or any other democrat, but it is beyond dumb.  What I find funny is how the left paints conservative as unsophisitacted, classless, rednecks and then they pull that nonsense.  It goes both ways.  

If Obama or Biden were ever met with boos at a public event the media would be beside themselves.

i think he'll lose missouri, but it won't matter. i'd almost like to see him lose it and win the presidency just so dave helling and steve kraske will shut it with their lazy political "reporting".

Its absurd to think the execs in charge of online content are more liberal than the writers at Saturday Night Live.

How many blue collar union types are rednecks? Food for thought.

all the polls i have seen today give Obama the edge, but still within the margin of error.  the trend, however, is favoring obama (for now anyway).  in a race this close, it will depend on which candidate motivates more people to get out and vote on election day - either for their candidate, or against the other. 

i am biased given where i live and the company i keep (i don't know a single McCain voter other than maybe my dad), but it really seems like Obama has gotten people charged up to go out and vote.  i don't think McCain has rallied the base as much, and i think that moderate Repubs might just stay home due to apathy.  obv. the righties will come out in droves, but i think that the aggressive voter-registration in KC and STL might balance it a bit. 

i think it will be very close, but McCain will pull it off b/c Missouri is stupid.

i highly doubt that the crowd at a Flyers game could be described as part of "the left."  besides, if you haven't noticed, there is a growing chorus of conservatives who think Palin is an outrage.  (and, of course, as others have said, Flyers fans boo everything).

It's pretty funny how you still cling to the idea that the GenElec CEO has any say in (much less even cares about) online content.


You have the business sense of a 6th grader.

Not stupid enough for socialism. Funny you say that about the people you know re: McCain...My circle is the exact opposite.

yet socialism swoops in to save the worldwide economy! i'd be happy to let you have your 2nd great depression, but we've learned a thing or two since then.

So the worldwide economy is saved? I wasn't aware of that yet.

Senator McCain has run for the office of President more than once. Only this year he was named as his party's candidate, but not without a serious damning by others true to cloth among leading Republicans.

Back in 2000, McCain was shamed and humiliated, slandered and libeled by many fellow Republicans of the Carl Rove type. He endures this with a dignity that speaks volumes for his character. The actions of others in his party show a level of dispicable behavior that has yet to acknowledged.

Jump ahead to 2008 and Rush Limbaugh was damning this candidate right up until mid-summer.

Why not face it, many wanted Rudolph Giuliani at first, and then got excited about Fred Thompson, and then it was Mike Huckabee, and then an agonizing choice between Mitt Romney and Senator McCain. It seems less like (in the Party's opinion) that their best candidate rose to the top, as more of, this was the last kid picked for the team.

Senator McCain's faults, from what many Republicans have said, is his willingeness to break from party unity, the so-called Maverick.  Senator McCain has not shown great leadership, rather he has been decidedly independent, which has cause manifest frustration to the Party faithful.

As confirmation of this he picked Governor Palin over Mitt Romney, and this has been heralded for the last 6 weeks as a bold gamble.  It sure seems that way; yet it is still undetermined whether she is an asset or liability.

Everyone hates the liberal media.  They are the favorite villains of our time (along with certain Hollywood liberals).  So, when Katie (how dare she) Couric asked Governor Palin to name one significant act of leadership by Senator McCain, the Governor could not manage to say two simple words: McCain-Feingold. It was an admittedly unpopular piece of legislation which was opposed by many Republicans, but it was still evidence of independence and Maverick action. The Governor, however, missed an opportunity which gives credence to those who suggest that she is out of her league.

Senator McCain, in my opinion, has not done a very convincing job of building confidence in his ability to lead this nation in difficult times.  He seems to me very reactive in crisis situations, and penny-wise and pound-foolish on economic matters, and politically unpredictable in a way that has shocked the GOP faithful.

Senator McCain has become completely absent on one of the biggest partisan issues of last spring: illegals. What happened to this all important issue?
