Political Punch

jock 59801 Well, he's still leading in the polls, and that's really all that matters, isn't it?

Are you kidding me?? What the heck do the polls have to do with anything in the GE. If 50% of the voters for Obama are located in one state it would mean NOTHING! This is not a popularity contest by any means. It is interesting that the two candidates are running neck & neck but the election can go either. Those that follow the polls and get excited by a point or two change will be in for a rude awakening on election day.

lol - Obama was against off-shore drilling before he was against it. No. He is still against it, but understands the need for compromise in order to move our country forward. I will admit that it's too bad that so many Americans are so selfish and/or ignorant to think that we can rely on petrol for energy ad infinitum and that drilling will make any significant difference. The only criteria that republicans have for president is that he be as dumb as they so they can feel better about themselves. Shame.

We need to know answers to many questions about Obama. How close was his relationship to communist Frank Marshall Davis when he was a teen in Hawaii (Obama's book says very close - we need details)? How close was Obama to Marxist terrorists Ayers and Doerhn? If Obama says not close, we need an answer as to why his political career was launched in Ayer's living room. Why did Obama decide to go to Chicago after graduating college? Was it because Davis was from Chicago originally? How did it happen that Obama became an Alinsky type community organizer in Chicago, just like Davis once was? Did Davis initiate the relationship between Obama and Ayers? All of these important questions and many others need to be answered. Why is the media ignoring them???

Hurricane Katrina.

Cake.

Seriously.

francine223 - that would be great news. I've lived here in New York since 1966 and Mayor Bloomberg is the best Mayor I've ever seen. I wish he would run for President because he is truly the kind of man that America needs now.

There's not enough room on the Internet to keep track of everything Cheney has done wrong.

NextCheney.com...that's really hysterical. He is a tough act to follow.

The nerve of Republican National Committee spokesman Alex Conant, "While everyone else is debating the all-too-real energy crisis, it's good to see Democrats are obsessing over hypothetical political match-ups. The DNC is having fun with Washington parlor games."

Excuse me but his party is infamous for the past 2 weeks' buzz over the Britany, Obama, Paris Hilton, Moses, ads. I know people think Americans has short term memory problems but this is unbelievable.

Charlie Crist has a 58% approval rating.
Well...it's better than Bushes at least.

The Republican party is responsible for high gas prices.
The Republican party is the party of big oil.
McCain is a Republican.

Heard that billionaire NYC Mayor Bloomberg is on the short VP list for both Dem and GOP is that true?

That Bloomberg works for international bankers and financiers whose interest is to maintain wealth in worldwide collapsing economies and therefore need to privatize (steal) government programs, infrastructure and jobs?

That is what Bloomberg has been doing to NYC in the past 8 years?

And Al Gore is another one of their employees ready to do the same job once installed as Dem Prez while Bloomberg as VP for either party?

Have you heard too?

Hey all you loser Bush supporters why is it that no other Republican wants to be seen with Bush and Cheney? Only that crook Stevens wants to be seen with Bush! I think Cheney should wear a Darth Vader outfit complete with a light saber at the GOP convention,that would be appropiate.

McCain shifted his position on offshore drilling when he saw that ever-increasing gas prices were crippling our economy and severely hurting working Americans.

***********
No, McCain flipped when big oil promised hefty donations to the campaign. McCain flipped and they filled out the checks.

McCain shifted his position on offshore drilling when he saw that ever-increasing gas prices were crippling our economy and severely hurting working Americans.

Obama flipflopped on offshore drilling when the polls showed him that 70% of Americans were for it and that he was rapidly falling in the polls.

McCain is a leader; Obama is a follower.

Those adjectives were so right.

Romney would be his best bet to shore up the "we hate everyone" voting block, consisting of the "Christian"-Right.

Yea, but the Religious Right are a little freaked out by the whole "Magic Underwear" thing! LOL!

Never trust a man who think his skivvies protect him from evil!

"len - no. she was a bad CEO - no need to make excuses, since her disasterous record speaks for itself."

I'm not making excuses. You are calling her names. Check the facts of the performance based on her initiatives, specifically, Compaq.

She was a good CEO. She had a bad board. Look at the post-Fiorina scandal for their use of call forging and bugging. You didn't pay attention to what happened after she was asked to resign.

Romney would be his best bet to shore up the "we hate everyone" voting block, consisting of the "Christian"-Right.

"Carly Fiorina is widely regarded as one of the worst CEOs in recent memory.."

Only by the people who didn't watch the HP performance based on her initiatives.

Fiorina was a good CEO. She is a bad geek.

Outsourcing works if you outsource the right functions. As it turns out, outsourcing your programming staff is a bad idea. Outsourcing your help desk is a bad idea. The short terms gains are outweighed in six quarters by the decline in responsiveness due to communications problems. Process design and internet communications can't fix the cultural gaps and the serendipity of co-located teams.

Much also depends on the team environment. If you are in a company paying vig to the hedge fund investors or a leveraged buy out, bail. There is no up from that.

Curious-What would happen if "We the People", did not vote at all in this Presidential election?

President Bush would probably remain in office.
