6 points?!!?!?!!!?????!?!! Is *that* all???? Even after his speech
last night? Even in this election cycle when George Bush is unpopular?
O-bambi should be up by 15-20 points right now - at least.
It's mildly entertaining watching the DNC snatching seemingly impossible
defeat from the jaws of victory once again in 2008 ;^)
Almost time to put your 01/20/13 bumper stickers on your Prius's
dems...LOL!!!!!

Clinton's was 14 points after his Convention.
Excluding the price for the 'Air Force One' forgery: that would amount
to, given the one-day expenditures and very conservatively, more than
$7,000,000 per point!
Most of which which could have went to "Pell Grants"!
Obama and crew must be quite worried right now.
Truth...@nospam.net
The only ones worried are you right wingers -- who have gone into a tizzy
of lying and trolling --> because there is nothing else for you to do.

There is a narrative being very carefully constructed that says, "This
election is going to be a squeaker." This is setting the stage for
McCain's win, by a razor-thin margin ... a margin so small that the
election will be perceived as one that easily have gone either way.
Those who want vote recounts and assurances that the election was fair
will be called "conspiracy theorists."
Let no one doubt one thing; when McCain wins (as I believe he will),
the United States will is no longer be a "self-governing" nation.
Let's just stop pretending after that, ok?

"Palin Focus of Probe In Police Chief's Firing"
"Her Family Wanted a Trooper Dismissed, He Says"
By James V. Grimaldi and Kimberly Kindy
Washington Post Staff Writers
Saturday, August 30, 2008; A11
Republican presidential candidate John McCain's running mate, Alaska
Gov. Sarah Palin, is an ethics reformer under an ethics investigation
that is plowing through private domestic matters.
Palin is under investigation to determine whether she pressured and
then fired the state police chief in July because he refused to
dismiss her former brother-in-law. At the time, the governor's younger
sister was involved in a bitter divorce and child custody dispute with
the man, a state trooper. A bipartisan committee of the state
legislature voted unanimously to hire a retired prosecutor to
investigate. His report is due in October.
The firing of state Public Safety Commissioner Walter Monegan has
unearthed a stream of private details about the governor, her husband
and her family. The state probe is also focusing on a half-dozen top
state officials accused of trying to drive trooper Mike Wooten from
the force.
Critics say the episode -- dubbed Troopergate in Alaska -- cuts
against Palin's reputation as an ethics crusader who holds even her
own party accountable.
"It undercuts one of the points they are making that she is an ethical
reformer," said state Sen. Hollis French, a Democrat who is managing
the $100,000 investigation.
The McCain campaign supported Palin, saying: "Governor Palin has been
fully cooperative in this situation and has nothing to hide. She has
been a leader and proven reformer, demanding accountability and
transparency from Alaska's government which resulted in landmark
ethics legislation."
The domestic dispute entered the public arena when the governor's
sister filed for divorce from Wooten on April 11, 2005.
The same day, the governor's father, Chuck Heath, contacted state
police with several allegations against Wooten: using a Taser on his
10-year-old stepson; shooting a moose without a permit; and drinking
beer while driving a patrol car.
Eighteen months later, Sarah Palin became Alaska's first female
governor.
Gov. Palin's husband, Todd Palin, met with Monegan in January 2007, a
month after his wife took office, to say that the trooper was unfit
for the force. Monegan also said the governor sent him e-mails, but
Monegan declined to disclose them, saying he planned to give them to
the independent prosecutor.
Palin initially denied that she or anyone in her administration had
ever pressured Monegan to fire Wooten. She said she had raised the
matter with Monegan just once, relaying the allegation that Wooten
made a death threat against her father.
But this summer, Palin acknowledged that a half-dozen members of her
administration had made more than two dozen calls on the matter to
various state officials.
Monegan, 57, a former chief of the Anchorage Police Department, said
in an interview Friday that during his 19 months on the job the
governor repeatedly mentioned Wooten but "never directly asked me to
fire him."
Monegan said Todd Palin told him that Wooten "shouldn't be a trooper."
"I've tried to explain to him," Monegan said, " 'You can't head-hunt
like this. What you need to do is back off, because if the trooper
does make a mistake, and it is a terminable offense, it can look like
political interference.'
"I think he's emotionally committed in trying to see that his former
brother-in-law is punished."
Monegan said he was also contacted by three other Palin-appointed
officials, including the attorney general, regarding the trooper. Each
time, he said, he told the administration officials that he would keep
an eye on the trooper, but that unless he violated a rule, nothing
could be done.
In a TV interview in July, Todd Palin confirmed that he had talked
with Monegan but said he was just "informing," not pressuring.
At a news conference Aug. 13, the governor said, "I do now have to
tell Alaskans that such pressure could have been perceived to exist,
although I have only now become aware of it."
That day, Palin's office released a recording of a call made in
February by Palin's chief of commissions, Frank Bailey, to a police
lieutenant. Bailey complained about Monegan's lack of action against
Wooten. Bailey said Palin "really likes Walt a lot, but on this
issue . . . she doesn't know why there is absolutely no action for a
year on this issue. It's very, very troubling to her and the family."
John Cyr, chief of the troopers' union, said he was "shocked and
disappointed" at McCain's selection of Palin. "It goes well beyond the
fact that she is under a cloud of ethics investigations. She's fired
the only commissioner who dared to stand up and say we need to do more
to make Alaska safe."
Palin's chief of staff fired Monegan on July 11, telling him Palin
wanted "to go in another direction," Monegan said.
"I am not, and don't want to come across as, a disgruntled employee,"
Monegan said. "I was trying to protect her. When I was let go, I was a
little surprised. There was not a warning shot or anything."
Monegan said complaints about Wooten first came to him on Jan. 4,
2007, a month after he started on the job. Todd Palin, a commercial
fisherman, laid out a dossier he and a private investigator had
collected.
"He asked me to look into it, so I told them I would," Monegan said.
"I had it compared with the internal investigations file. There was no
new evidence, no new complaints."
Monegan called Todd Palin back and said there was nothing he could do.
A few days later, Gov. Palin called Monegan on his cellphone. "I
explained to her there was no new evidence, the issue was closed,"
Monegan said. "She also was unhappy with that."
Wooten, reached at a trooper's office in Palmer, Alaska, declined to
comment. Cyr said Wooten has "a spotless record" and no allegations in
his file other than those filed by the governor's family.
Monegan and Cyr said that Wooten's wife had obtained a permit to hunt
moose but balked when she saw the prey. She handed the gun to her
husband, who killed it, Monegan and Cyr said, adding that the couple
then took the moose to her parents' home, butchered it and ate some of
it.
Wooten said he used the Taser on his 10-year-old stepson when the boy
asked him to try it on him, Monegan and Cyr said.
The investigation into Wooten sustained the allegations regarding the
moose hunt and the Taser. The drinking charge was unsustained in an
initial investigation, but a police commander reversed the decision.
Documents say Wooten was reprimanded and suspended. "Wooten was not a
model trooper," Monegan said.
The governor raised the issue again in February 2007 during the
legislative session in Juneau. "As we were walking down the stairs in
the capitol building," Monegan said, "she wanted to talk to me about
her former brother-in-law. I said, 'Ma'am, I need to keep you at arm's
length with this. I can't deal about him with you. If need be, I can
talk to Todd."

BREAKING (Gallup): Dukakis takes 17 point lead over George Bush
Dukakis Lead Widens, According to New Poll
Published: July 26, 1988
LEAD: In the aftermath of the Democratic National Convention, the party's
nominee, Michael S. Dukakis, has expanded his lead among registered voters
over Vice President Bush, the probable Republican nominee, according to a
Gallup Poll.
In the aftermath of the Democratic National Convention, the party's nominee,
Michael S. Dukakis, has expanded his lead among registered voters over Vice
President Bush, the probable Republican nominee, according to a Gallup Poll.
This was among the findings of a national public opinion poll of 948
registered voters conducted late last week for Newsweek magazine by the
Gallup Organization. The telephone interviews took place on July 21, which
was the last night of the convention, and on the night after that.
Fifty-five percent of the 948 registered voters interviewed in the poll said
they preferred to see Mr. Dukakis win the 1988 Presidential election, while
38 percent said they preferred to see Mr. Bush win. The poll had a margin of
sampling error of plus or minus four percentage points.

The Democrats' attacks on her firing Alaska's Commissioner on Public
Safety (owned by the oil-soaked 'Republicans' she got rid of) is going
to back-fire.
