OBAMA: This morning a great soldier, a great statesman. POWELL: Banned materials have recently been moved from a number of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction facilities. OBAMA: A great American has endorsed our campaign for change. POWELL: There can be no doubt that Saddam Hussein has biological weapons. OBAMA: I have been honored to have the benefit of his wisdom. POWELL: Saddam Hussein has never accounted for vast amounts of chemical weaponry. OBAMA: And his counsel. POWELL: Saddam Hussein is determined to get his hands on a nuclear bomb. OBAMA: But today I'm beyond honor. POWELL: Iraq today harbors a deadly terrorist network headed by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, an associate and collaborator of Osama bin Laden. OBAMA: I am deeply humbled. POWELL: Leaving Saddam Hussein in possession of weapons of mass destruction for a few more months or years is not an option, not in a post-September 11th world. OBAMA: I am deeply humbled to have the support of General Colin Powell

Joe Biden warned that America's enemies would test Barack Obama with an international crisis within six months if he's elected president. "Mark my words," Biden told donors at a Seattle fund-raiser Sunday night. "It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We're about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. "Watch. We're going to have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy. "And he's going to need help. . . to stand with him. Because it's not going to be apparent initially; it's not going to be apparent that we're right." Link My advice to Americans. There's still an option of electing a President who's already been tested. And we can avoid such international crisis by doing so. With the world economy in peril, and with wars in Iraq, and Afghansitan, the last thing the world needs is another international crisis, because of an inexperienced novice in the White House, who's percieved as a lightweight by rogue nations, questionable leaders, and terrorist groups.

Dead goldfish offered the vote in Illinois CHICAGO (AP) — The only "agent of change" Princess ever supported was the person who freshened the water in her fishbowl. So election officials in Chicago's northern suburbs want to know why voter registration material was sent to the dead goldfish. "I am just stunned at the level of people compromising the integrity of the voting process," said Lake County Clerk Willard Helander, a Republican, who said she has spotted problems with nearly 1,000 voter registrations this year.

LOL, maverick? If Powell endorsed McCain, that would be impressive, but this, this was the easy thing to do, not the hard. So hardly maverick like. Well, it certainly played a part in Powell's endorsement. Ask yourself what the policy differences are between Barack Obama and John Kerry. I don't remember John Kerry getting Colin Powell's endorsement. Hmm, what's different about the two? Bingo. Only the Democratic Vice-Presidential candidate of 8 years ago. That's how far the party has drifted away from what it once was. FDR and Kennedy would also be Liebermanized from the current crop of Democrats.

McCain slowly gains on Obama Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby Poll: Obama 47.8%, McCain 45.1% UTICA, New York - Republican John McCain continued a slow advance on Democrat Barack Obama in the race for President, moving back within three percentage points as the race begins to head down the stretch run, the latest Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby daily tracking poll shows. Zogby Pollster John Zogby said the numbers were good news for McCain, and probably reflected a bump following his appearance in the third and final presidential debate on Wednesday. "For the first time in the polling McCain is up above 45 percent. There is no question something has happened," Zogby said. Reuters But wait. I thought CNN told us that Obama won the debate? For all of Obama's supposed political talent, I'm not impressed. He has an unpopular President to run against. An unpopular opposing political party to run against. An unpopular war to run against. He's also out-raised his opponent by a tremendous amount, and is setting a record for spending on advertising, outspending McCain by 5 - 1. And all he can muster is a 3 point lead? Also, Ann Coulter has a great column this week, citing example after example of polls under-estimating Republican support. And coincidentally, it's always the Republicans that get under-estimated. What Liberal media right? Reviewing the polls printed in The New York Times and The Washington Post in the last month of every presidential election since 1976, I found the polls were never wrong in a friendly way to Republicans. When the polls were wrong, which was often, they overestimated support for the Democrat, usually by about 6 to 10 points. In 1976, Jimmy Carter narrowly beat Gerald Ford 50.1 percent to 48 percent. And yet, on Sept. 1, Carter led Ford by 15 points. Just weeks before the election, on Oct. 16, 1976, Carter led Ford in the Gallup Poll by 6 percentage points -- down from his 33-point Gallup Poll lead in August. Reading newspaper coverage of presidential elections in 1980 and 1984, I found myself paralyzed by the fear that Reagan was going to lose. In 1980, Ronald Reagan beat Carter by nearly 10 points, 51 percent to 41 percent. In a Gallup Poll released days before the election on Oct. 27, it was Carter who led Reagan 45 percent to 42 percent. In 1984, Reagan walloped Walter Mondale 58.8 percent to 40 percent, -- the largest electoral landslide in U.S. history. But on Oct. 15, The New York Daily News published a poll showing Mondale with only a 4-point deficit to Reagan, 45 percent to 41 percent. A Harris Poll about the same time showed Reagan with only a 9-point lead. The Oct. 19 New York Times/CBS News Poll had Mr. Reagan ahead of Mondale by 13 points. All these polls underestimated Reagan's actual margin of victory by 6 to 15 points. In 1988, George H.W. Bush beat Michael Dukakis by a whopping 53.4 percent to 45.6 percent. A New York Times/CBS News Poll on Oct. 5 had Bush leading the Greek homunculus by a statistically insignificant 2 points -- 45 percent to 43 percent. (For the kids out there: Before it became a clearinghouse for anti-Bush conspiracy theories, CBS News was considered a credible journalistic entity.) A week later -- or one tank ride later, depending on who's telling the story -- on Oct. 13, Bush was leading Dukakis in The New York Times Poll by a mere 5 points. Admittedly, a 3- to 6-point error is not as crazily wrong as the 6- to 15-point error in 1984. But it's striking that even small "margin of error" mistakes never seem to benefit Republicans. In 1992, Bill Clinton beat the first President Bush 43 percent to 37.7 percent. (Ross Perot got 18.9 percent of Bush's voters that year.) On Oct. 18, a Newsweek Poll had Clinton winning 46 percent to 31 percent, and a CBS News Poll showed Clinton winning 47 percent to 35 percent. So in 1992, the polls had Clinton 12 to 15 points ahead, but he won by only 5.3 points. In 1996, Bill Clinton beat Bob Dole 49 percent to 40 percent. And yet on Oct. 22, 1996, The New York Times/CBS News Poll showed Clinton leading by a massive 22 points, 55 percent to 33 percent. In 2000, which I seem to recall as being fairly close, the October polls accurately described the election as a virtual tie, with either Bush or Al Gore 1 or 2 points ahead in various polls. But in one of the latest polls to give either candidate a clear advantage, The New York Times/CBS News Poll on Oct. 3, 2000, showed Gore winning by 45 percent to 39 percent. Link

That's quite a stretch. But I'm not suprised, an Obama supporter playing the race card, shocked I tells ya!

Indeed. And 8 years after the fact. Too funny. Especially when The United States Supreme Court agreed 7 - 2, that the way the recount was going was unconstitutional.

The only politician who looked like he "just fell off the turnip truck" was Dion.

Yes, which can happen more easily, when groups like ACORN petition against required identification for voting. They're poisoning the process from both ends.

Exactly. The only election fraud being perpetrated, is by ACORN. One of Barack's associations.

Duplicate post.

As crazy as it makes you when Raul Castro embraces capitalism. Forbes

Let's see. Obama the day after the debate, Biden on Leno, The View, SNL, Liberal blogs like Democratic Underground, and of course, the mainstream media. My God, his real name is Samuel, Joe is only his middle name! I guess he's just more comfortable with his middle name, unlike the current Democratic nominee for President.

The biggest problem the Liberals are facing, is a smaller and smaller map to work with. They're no longer competitive out west, or in Quebec, they're bleeding support in Ontario, which only leaves them with eastern Canada.

Actually, $6000 is quite a bit, considering the government's already taking an additional 36% of the $250,000. Seriously, how much is enough? How long before the government's taking the majority of one's earned salary? Not to mention Obama doens't mention whether it's net $250,000 or gross, and whether or not that includes inventory. And not to mention that most small businesses file their taxes as sub-chapter S corporations, which means you'd be increasing taxes on millions of them, because they "earn" too much. Nevermind that the government earns nothing, only takes, and of course, asks everyone else constantly to do with less, while never doing with less themselves.

If McCain is smart, he'll focus like a laser on the 'Joe The Plumber' theme for the next three weeks. The only one who stumbled was Barack Obama with his "spread the wealth" comment. It's also quite interesting the way the left, in conjunction with the media, is attacking a regular citizen who had the gall to ask the Messiah a tough question. I wish the mainstream media had a fraction of the same interest in the background of the Democratic candidate for President.

Secret Service says "Kill him" allegation unfounded SCRANTON – The agent in charge of the Secret Service field office in Scranton said allegations that someone yelled “kill him” when presidential hopeful Barack Obama’s name was mentioned during Tuesday’s Sarah Palin rally are unfounded. The Scranton Times-Tribune first reported the alleged incident on its Web site Tuesday and then again in its print edition Wednesday. The first story, written by reporter David Singleton, appeared with allegations that while congressional candidate Chris Hackett was addressing the crowd and mentioned Obama’s name a man in the audience shouted “kill him." News organizations including ABC, The Associated Press, The Washington Monthly and MSNBC’s Countdown with Keith Olbermann reported the claim, with most attributing the allegations to the Times-Tribune story. Agent Bill Slavoski said he was in the audience, along with an undisclosed number of additional secret service agents and other law enforcement officers and not one heard the comment. “I was baffled,” he said after reading the report in Wednesday’s Times-Trib. Link Looks like it was just liberal BS created in order to play the race card for the 100 millionth time.

Officials: FBI investigates ACORN for voter fraud WASHINGTON (AP) - The FBI is investigating whether the community activist group ACORN helped foster voter registration fraud around the nation before the presidential election. A senior law enforcement official confirmed the investigation to The Associated Press on Thursday. A second senior law enforcement official says the FBI was looking at results of recent raids on ACORN offices in several states for any evidence of a coordinated national scam AP Uh oh, looks like somebody's gonna have some explaining to do!

Northland Couple Warns of Political Credit Card Fraud NORTH KANSAS CITY, MO. -- A North Kansas City couple has been left scratching their heads after they became the victims of a political scam. Steve and Rachel Larman say a strange credit card charge appeared on their statement this month -- a $2300 donation to Barack Obama's presidential campaign. The Larman's say they don't want this to be about their political affiliation, but they say they're not about to give the Obama campaign any help from their pocketbook. Link

I'm not getting your response. Are you denying that ACORN is involved in massive voter fraud, and is currently under investigation in some 13 states?

Mickey Mouse tried to register to vote in Florida this summer. Orange County elections officials rejected his application, which was stamped with the logo of the nonprofit group ACORN Link I guess we know why the Democrats tried to land billions for ACORN during the bailout negotiations. It takes plenty of money to engage in country wide voter fraud on a monumental basis. BTW, they're now under investigation in 13 states and counting!

This is the best part: "Monegan's firing was lawful, the report found"

Looks like Obama shouldn't be talking down his country so much. Afterall, I thought he was a post-racial, post-partisan candidate. Unfortunately, speech after speech, he likes to shit on America. Some people don't like that too much.

Who was George Bush Sr meeting with on 9/11? Enlighten us all. Please.
