Barack Obama’s positive press sets record
December 6, 2008
By Jennifer Harper
(WASHINGTON TIMES) - It's a record-setting press honeymoon.
President-elect Barack Obama has received the most positive campaign news coverage on the main network news shows in the 20-year history of such studies by the Center for Media and Public Affairs (CMPA).
Michael Steele: McCain should have hit Obama on Wright
November 15, 2008
By Allahpundit, Hot Air
So reports Matt Lewis, per Steele’s conference call this afternoon with bloggers. And that’s not the money part:
Steele also warned that we shouldn’t “soft-pedal” our attacks on Barack Obama, “just because the President of the United States happens to be a Black man.” This, of course, presents the argument that Steele — an African-American — could be a more effective critic of Obama than could his white Republican colleagues.
He added that “the Obama campaign played the race card beautifully.”
David Harsanyi says he was more explicit than that:
Morrissey: My Predictions
November 4, 2008
Ed Morrissey at Hot Air predicts a win for the McCain/Palin ticket. Morrissey says it will be a squeaker. I think that all the declarations of an Obama landslide are wildly overstated.
Today’s The Day
November 4, 2008
OK. This is it. The big day has arrived. Do or die. The moment of truth, the big Kahuna, where “we the people” of the one and only experiment in self-government in the history of humankind get to step up to the plate and give it our best shot as individual participants in this grand "American Dream" of independence and autonomy. Election Day has arrived, my fellow Americans, and it is now that we shall see just what we are made of. Pull the lever, take your shot. There is no take two.
McCain Could Win Electoral College, AP Warns
November 3, 2008
It's a nightmare scenario for Democrats — their nominee Barack Obama winning the popular vote while Republican John McCain ekes out an Electoral College victory. Sure, McCain trails in every recent national poll. Sure, surveys show that Obama leads in the race to reach the requisite 270 electoral votes to win the presidency.
Calls slam Obama in coal country
November 3, 2008
By Christina Bellantoni & Joseph Curl
The two presidential candidates stomped into the other party's territory Sunday, with Sen. Barack Obama making a run for "red" Ohio, while Sen. John McCain battled to put "blue" Pennsylvania in his column with the aid of automated calls using Mr. Obama's own words to accuse him of planning to bankrupt the coal industry.
More on why McCain should win: The PUMA factor
November 1, 2008
By Josh Painter
In a recent posting, I went on the record to say that John McCain should win the presidential election Tuesday, and I listed five reasons which lead me to this conclusion. They are media bias, pollster oversampling of Democrats, Obama campaign hubris, the Democrat candidate's many suspect associations and the fact that the American electorate has a center-right majority.
McCain Shredding Obama’s Lead
October 31, 2008
By Dick Morris & Eileen McGann
Iraq isn't the only place where the surge seems to be working. John McCain's gains over the last five days are remaking the political landscape as Election Day approaches.
The double-digit leads Barack Obama held last week have evaporated, as all three of the top tracking polls (the most current and reliable measurements out there) show McCain hot on Obama's heels.
New McCain ad: “Obama praises McCain”
October 31, 2008
From Ed Morrissey of the Hot Air blog:
If you’re expecting some hard-hitting advertising from Team McCain in the final few days before the election, this will disappoint. The entire ad consists of Barack Obama talking about the McCain-Lieberman bill on global warming, offering his support:
McCain Reduces Obama Advantage; Some Polls Detect Surge
October 31, 2008
By Joseph Curl
WASHINGTON TIMES - Sen. John McCain on Thursday vaulted up in the latest national and battleground state polls, closing to within the margin of error nationwide against Sen. Barack Obama and cutting the Democrat's lead in Pennsylvania by two-thirds.
Are Voters Having ‘Buyers Remorse’?
October 30, 2008
With five days until Election Day, there are signs the presidential race may be tightening, according to a new CNN poll of polls.
According to an average of several recent surveys, Barack Obama's lead over John McCain is down to 5 points nationwide, 49-44 percent — a gap that is 3 points less than it was earlier this week, and nearly half what the margin was one week ago.
The closing of polls late in a presidential race is not unusual: Sen. John Kerry lost his 2004 White House bid despite holding a slim lead over President Bush in its final days and then-Vice President Al Gore trailed Bush by 5 points in early November before the two essentially split the vote days later.
“It’s possible that McCain will continue to close the gap over the final few days of the campaign,” said CNN Senior Political Researcher Alan Silverleib. “Presidential elections often tighten up at the end, especially if there’s not an incumbent on the ballot. Voters sometimes experience a degree of ‘buyer’s remorse’ before settling on a new president."
Historically, however, only one presidential candidate in modern history has come back from the deficit McCain faces to win an election — Ronad Reagan in 1980.
