Rep. Mark Kirk is stretching out his lead in Illinois. The last time his opponent led in a poll was October 11.
Pat Toomey is finishing strong in Pennsylvania.
If Obama is thinking of dumping Joe Biden, he can select Katie Couric as his VP. She sounds just like him: “Couric has spent recent weeks in Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston and New Brunswick, New Jersey. She is touring what she calls ‘this great unwashed middle of the country’ in an effort to divine the mood of the midterms.” Boston is the middle of the country?
Obama’s human rights policy is baffling. “On Monday, the Obama administration waived sections of a law meant to prevent the recruitment of child soldiers in Africa, paving the way for new military cooperation with four countries with poor human rights records — despite their use of underage troops. … So the Obama administration has determined that deepening military relationships with brutal dictatorships and unsavory regimes is the best way to reform them? That seems like a pretty big shift in policy. It still remains unclear what military assistance the United States actually plans to give to countries like Sudan, Chad, and Yemen, as well as how it will use its engagement to protect child soldiers.”
Rudy Giuliani (after one of the more bizarrely inept campaigns in recent memory) is considering another presidential run? I suppose this time he would compete before the Florida campaign.
Released from the hospital, Carly Fiorina is returning to the campaign. The race is still close, but no poll has shown her ahead.
If Obama is meeting with liberal bloggers less than a week before the election, the Dems are in a heap of trouble.
John Bolton sure is sounding presidential: “Dramatic developments in Europe in the past few weeks have graphically demonstrated the importance of America’s upcoming November 2 elections. Coming midway through President Obama’s term, there is little doubt these elections constitute a referendum on his philosophy, policies and performance. Any U.S. citizens who doubt the significance of their impending votes need only contemplate Europe to see the consequences of further pursuing the Obama agenda.”
Yeah, and I’m good and sick and tired of OUR MONEY being used to investigate anyone and everyone who attempts to tell the truth about Democrats or to defend this country, while it’s the Democrats who are the ones going around openly suppressing free speech.
We can’t afford it, people!
It’s not passing exuberance: It’s the new Allende, given half a chance. And isn’t Fidel an expert on seafood?
Well it was Marcuse that said certain groups don’t deserve free speech, maybe this is just an indication of how far left Obama really is.
Anyone who thought teh Bush presidency was secretive just wait until we get the Obama one. FISA wwould then be used positively to go after anyone who dares criticize the Messiah and the DOJ would promptly take action. The change in Washington DC Obama always advocated has always been a change for the “Chicago Way”. Thugs Inc.
Jen and John, make sure your tax returns for the past five years or so will withstand an audit whose rigor will stop just short of body cavity searches. Same goes for the rest of the Commentary crowd. Or syndicate or cabal as you will be called in the first BO administration. In the second, you’ll have numbers and prison addresses.
That’s the Chicago way!…
That’s the line spoken by Sean Connery’s tough Irish cop to Kevin Costner’s Eliot Ness in The Untouchables, when explaining how to deal with Al Capone: play rough, play for keeps. That tradition lives on in Barack Obama, whose campaign……
The thing that is going to supercharge this next year is the race card. Any criticism of President Obama will be labeled racist. Obama comes from academia and of course we all know the academic solution for racism is the speech code. Just as universities are now like sanctuary cities against the First Amendment, so the USA will itself become a sanctuary country.
Bye, Bye Talk Radio and conservative blogging! Hello fairness doctrine if the One is elected. The media is a disgrace.
I saw this story late last night and e-mailed it to several friends. It really is–even in this incredible campaign–hard to believe. The cake has now officially left the building. Comparisons to Germany in the 1930′s are, I think, much too extreme (and offensive), but they don’t seem as thoroughly ridiculous as they did not that long ago.
These comments make me laugh. No reason to actually study the facts. Just throw around McCarthy like phrases. The republicans virtually destroyed our country over the last 8 years. You don’t get another 4 to try to fix your mess. Certainly not with McSame and Failin…
Thugocracy and marxism brought to you by a MugabeLite politician. By election day, his campaign’s tactics and supporters’ vitriol will assure sure that about half the nation will hate him and dread his administration. Obviously, the HOPE platitudes have been hopelessly derailed.

Criminal behaviour is not protected by free speech. This would be an extension of the existing election fraud case involving the White House, the Republican Party and the sacking of attorneys who refused to investigate bogus cases. It is the same scenario, hence it has been referred to the same prosecutor.
If you don’t like the way democracy works, I suggest you apply for Iranian citizenship.
