The polls are looking good for Demoracts in the coming congressional races, and now we learn that Delay is pulling out before his evil seed spreads any further.

A sleazeball named Tom Delay, As honest as any long day. No said Ronnie the Earle, As straight as a plastic pearl. Christian values? nae nae nae.

Has there ever been a more obvious fraud than Barack Obama? I knew he stunk from the moment the makers of conventional wisdom first tried to shove this appropriately light-skinned "rising star" and his bullshit "faith" down my throat back in 2004. My gag reflex kicked in immediately, and it has been proven right ever since . . .

A TV diagnosis from Frist, Put his cred. on the dubious list. He threatened "Nuclear Axe" For judges 'n shameful tax. Justice? boy am I pissed.

Condi Rice in Blackburn town, Cried "Goodness me! the folks so brown." So few problems before the war, "Go home, go home, George's whore" Smile don't frown, just go home and blow the clown.

Up Close: Amazing! Don't give me "Suffer the children not" Whoever designed those beasties had only one thing in mind, to scare the shit out the little ones. All the same, he's one clever dude.

HA HA!!! DeLay is a toad! I should tribute a video on my blog to him- I mean I already have one for Santorum, DeLay would be a small step.

Seriously, though, DeLay looks more guilty than ever and even some jackbooted repub blogs are starting to turn on him.

Polls for the Dems are still good, but falling, curiously, in the last month. They had a 15 point spread, and it's now down to 9 points. I think they continue to have a message problem, like, they don't have a consistent one. It still seems to me that they are depending on Republicans losing, so they don't actually have to work to win. Seven months is a long time, and Dems can still snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Don't always trust those polls. If I can remember, in 2004 when Kerry was considered the winner according to the polls.

Am I right?

I'm shocked that people really think that the Dems can just roll the rest of the way. An expert on NPR today said basically that. Sure, Bush isn't going to be above 50% for at least a year, if ever, unless something big happens (really big). Still, incumbent advantage is huge, and even if a majority of Americans cast their congressional vote for the Dems. they could still finish election day without the majority. I'd be shocked if they didn't pick up seats, but I think they need more of a positive message if they are going to take the house.

It is a basic fact that the public, for the first time in the history of polling, elected a president in 2004 who they didn't approve of. He got 51% of the votes on at most 49% approval. That means either that this is the most pathetic excuse for an opposition party the country has ever seen (I'm not ready to go that far), or that the GOP has figured out, through the electoral college, redistricting, and possible vote fraud, how to maintain ruling majorities with electoral minorities. Based on these considerations, I say screw the polls for right now.
