EIGHTY-NINE VOTES IN OUR POLL SO FAR! | Report to Admin

By Athena Nov 10th 2007 at 10:13 pm EST

Only 11 votes left to reach 100 votes that say that the best man WILL win this election.

Again, the objective of this poll is to send America the message that Barack Obama is the most electable candidate of any party because of his crossover appeal.

Thus far, the numbers bear this out - we Obama-ites are all over the map.

So, for those of you who have not yet voted, here goes:

Question:

Which one of these best describes your political/ideological affliation?

1) Liberal/Liberal Democrat
2) Centrist Democrat
3) Conservative Democrat
4) Moderate Republican
5) Conservative/Conservative Republican
6) Independent
7) Libertarian
8) Green/Other

Update | Report to Admin

By The Time Is Now Nov 10th 2007 at 10:55 pm EST

Posted on Politico tonight:

Like Edwards, he's got a tacit critique of the Clinton years in his speech, according to an excerpt circulated by the campaign:

“This party – of Jefferson and Jackson; of Roosevelt and Kennedy – has made the most difference in people’s lives when we’ve led, not by polls, but by principle; not by calculation, but by conviction; when we’ve had leaders who could summon the entire nation to a common purpose – a higher purpose.

Not by polls? Which era of Democratic leadership could he be referring to there?

(Former Clinton White House pollster Mark Penn is in the house to be glared at as Obama delivers this line. And his aide at the time, Joel Benenson, now polls for Obama.)

Clinton's new theme

Lynn Sweet reports that the Clinton backers' signs -- which read "Turn up the Heat" -- are aimed at the Bush administration.

This seems to be how the Clinton campaign hopes to escape the increasingly focused challenges from her rivals: To raise the volume of her attacks on Bush, a way she's been consistently able to steal headlines and change the subject.

How many times has Dodd mentioned the Peace Corps?

Okay, did Dodd just kind of say we should basically hitch our wagon to something bigger than ourselves.

Sitting on the couch in my pajamas with C-Span on the TV (waiting to take the mute off), blogging on my Mac and grading my fourth grader's spelling tests. I like Harkin, but enough with the warm-up acts. Let's get past HRC's screeching and on to the next president of the United States.

I just posted a comment about how all the speeches sounded like a promotion for Obama. Now I'm listening to Hillary talk about corruption and special interests and have to say she's the one candidate talking about herself.
