his image as an arbiter of a new kind of politics.

The man spent some years as a community organizer (power broker)... which led him towards becoming a state senator. All politics is local, they say... but for someone who may be on the verge of becoming the Prez of the US this is a little TOO local. I suspect half of the regulars on this thread may have given international affairs and history more thought than Obama.

Newsweek Poll: Obama drops like a rock

I wonder how many people have thought about their support of Obama after he has told them that all Americans should learn to speak Spanish.

Obama's middle name is "Hussein". I suggest he change it to "Pander".

One month later, Obama has lost all of the momentum and has dropped into a virtual tie with McCain. The latest Newsweek poll shows Obama up 44-41, within the margin of error:


Odd conclusion. The last Newsweek poll was an outlier from Gallup and Rasmussen, who have had the race within 5 points all along. The new poll simply returns to agreement with the others. It's a lot simpler to conclude that the last poll was bad but the new one is better.
