What will the final score read?

A week from Tuesday, we will see the results of the anger and concern that a majority of Americans have (according to any poll you cite) about the Democrats and Obama. The prognostications are all over the map, so I’ll weigh in.

More interesting, a comparison of pictures of Martin Luther King, Jr. with the [...]

Three Months Out: Where Do We Stand?

Three months out from the mid-term elections, the “metrics,” as they say in the military, are mixed three months out. On the positive side, Obama continues his slide, down to 44% in the latest Gallup, and 45% in the latest Rasmussen (with the “strongly disapproves” as high). Opposition to the “health-non-care” bill remains at astronomical [...]
