When In Decided to Buy Matt Bai's Book

In the midst of a dying newspaper industry, this is what the New York Times is for.

Republicans Like Palin...

...but don't so much want to vote for her.

America Gets Impatient

You know you're in a slump when you're tied with Mitt Romney.

Mwahahaha

The latest Public Policy Polling poll is a great exercise is masturbation. They test Obama against well-known potential opponents. Against Gingrich, Obama dominates, 53%-36%. But Gingrich is unpopular (30% fav, 47% unfav), you say, how might Obama fair against a stronger opponent? Well, he destroys Romney (40% fav, 36% unfav), 53%-35%, and Huckabee (44% fav, 32% unfav), 52%-39%. but these figures are each unknown to about 25% of poll respondents. What about someone with name ID comparable to Obama's? In that case, Obama crushes Palin (42%-50%), 56%-37%.

The 13-point win over Huckabee (Obama's smallest margin of victory) would represent the largest blow-out since Reagan's 18-point victory in 1984. The 19-point win over Palin would be the largest since Nixon's 23-point romp in 1972.

Attention JD Hayworth!

Rasmussen confirms that AZ GOPers are not happy with McCain.

The best part: Rasmussen thinks we have a lieutenant governor. Sorry, Scotty, we try to avoid such civilized practices here.

And Now You Have Cholera
