It sucks to be a Republican:
“It’s no mystery,” said Rep. Thomas M. Davis III (R-Va.). “You have a very unhappy electorate, which is no surprise, with oil at $108 a barrel, stocks down a few thousand points, a war in Iraq with no end in sight and a president who is still very, very unpopular. He’s just killed the Republican brand.”
Stuart Rothenberg, a nonpartisan analyst of congressional politics, said: “The math is against them. The environment is against them. The money is against them. This is one of those cycles that if you’re a Republican strategist, you just want to go into the bomb shelter.”
Unless, you are St. McCain.
There’s always hate and fear.
We should not be surprised to see St. McCain give the Dem nominee a real run for their money. November will be a close race!
It appears the Clinton’s ties/investment in a company that mistreat its workers has gone underreported.

Maybe it’s time to pump even more money into the Greens.
I have been checking around other sites to read those who are supporting Clinton – it is not quite surprising to find that there is a great deal “anti-Obama” information.
However, what really shocked me was to find the description of a Michelle Obama speech as “Here’s a sample of Michelle Obama’s hate-filled attitude towards America. The link was to a “news” site that banners itself as “Exposing and Combating Liberal Media Bias.”
I had watched the link that someone (AP?) provided a bit ago of Michelle Obama’s speech in Delaware…and I was so moved. My thought was to somehow record her speech and remove references to Barack and Chicago, then give it to women I know and ask them what they thought. My guess is that they would be nodding their heads in agreement. I envisioned their surprise when told that this was Obama’s wife. Maybe, just maybe, they would see beyond the color of his skin and the Dem label and consider voting for him.
And then I find other Democrats describing Michelle Obama’s speech as a “hate-filled attitude towards America.”
Ack – I need to go watch some muppets.
Tapes of My Lai investigation rediscovered, it was a planned mission:

l hate to be the bearer of bad news for rep tommy m. [for moron] davis lll, but he’s had a hell of a lot of help from the RATpubs in congress. there’s more than enough complicity to go round.
frankly, aluminium foil beanie aside. l think this latest zogby poll is just the beginning of the rhetorical set up for another stolen election. st john will keep it close with the msm’s help and the machines will do the rest.
my cynicism is boundless in the spring.
With the likes of Geraldine Ferraro on “our” side, it sucks to be a Dem, too. It’s precisely parasitic ruling-class “liberals” like her that end up, every time, taking any pleasure out of voting for Democrats. Without her kind, Dems would be a permanent minority. With her kind on board, Democratic control will mean that only the most timid, corporate-friendly change will even be considered, as was the case with the Clinton administration.
I’m still waiting for her to publicly thank all the saintly Negroes who have sheathed the mighty sword of their blackness for 200 years in order to level the field so all those sad, disadvantaged white men could become president.
But Ruben Navarrette at the Mercury-News says it all much better than I can:
So ya might ask Representative Davis what HE was doing to shore up the Republican Brand while ol’ Georgie was runnin’ it into the ground.
Cuz “George HW’s cokehead son” didnt do this all by hisself. Nosir.
This has got to be what they mean by “rats deserting a sinking ship”.
