Sarah Palin and the Media
Dear liberal friends,
Are you really trying to lose this election for Barack Obama? Do you not see that attacking Sarah Palin is only helping John McCain?
After two weeks of the incredulous attacks against Gov. Palin, Sen. Obama has LOST his strong support amongst Women (notably White Women). He previously led by 20 something percent – now he trails by 12%. Americans simply don’t buy this media bullshit. They find it unfair and sexist. I have no problem with a strong, critical analysis of Gov. Palin’s background and policies – but the media/hollywood/liberal bloggers have taken it WAY too far, and the public backlash has been tremendous. I thought we were going to focus on issues instead of personality? Isn’t it Sen. Obama who wanted a campaign on ideas, and not experience. The new polls are damning.
That’s right folks. For the first time since Reagan, we are moving New York from the Democrats column, to the undecided column.
New York!!
Recent polling data released today suggests that among likely voters, John McCain has moved within the margin of error for the polling data, indicating a statistical tie. If you factor in the fact that public polling tends left a few points, John McCain may very well be WINNING in New York. That is not entirely unfathomable – NYC has a good portion of moderate Republicans, and the rest of the state outside of NYC is largely loyal to the Republican Party.
Needless to say, this has rippled into other states:
Pennsylvania from leaning Obama to undecided.
Minnesota from leaning Obama to undecided.
Michigan from leaning Obama to undecided.
Florida from undecided to fairly solid McCain.
I do not need to do the math for you. If New York or Pennsylvania goes GOP – it’s game over, even if the Democrats peel off Colorado and New Mexico.
I do not blame the Obama campaign. They have handled the past couple weeks as reasponably well as could be expected. On the O’Reilly Factor, Sen. Obama appeared frustrated with the unsolicited “help” from his followers – noting that if anyone on his campaign staff did that sort of thing, they would be fired.
I blame an overzealous media, incredulous Hollywood actors (do I really care about Matt Damon and Lindsey Lohan’s anti-Palin rants?), and the liberal bloggers of the DailyKos ilk.
So by all means, if you want Sen. Obama to lose this election, keep up this crap.
