Obama urges you not to go to work election day.

Disregarding that voting takes a few minutes and polls open before and close after normal business hours, arrogant Obama wants you to tune in and drop out. Never mind the billions of dollars in lost production, it's more important that Marxist Obama's North Koreafication of America begin right away. If He doesn't make His birthday a national holiday in the first year I'll be amazed.

Of course no plans are without merits, even one as amateurish as this one. By staying home from work you get an early taste for the grinding, long-term unemployment you'll experience if even a fraction of His policies are enacted. After you ditch work to vote for the novice Obama I suggest you go stand in line at a soup kitchen then spend the night in a homeless shelter. That way you'll know just what you voted for.

Besides, your vote was already cast by ACORN - probably more than once too. Obama had to get some return on the $800,000 and organizational advice He sent to the group.

Um, how is anyone shocked?

Drudge's headline:

GALLUP's 'traditional' likely voter model shows Obama with a two-point advantage over McCain on Thursday, 49% to 47%, this is within poll's margin of error... Developing...

makes this seem like some giant shock. The talentless Obama has always scored 4-6 points lower in the election versus the polls before hand and all the polls over the last several weeks have been weighted heavily towards Democrats (some with 6%+ Democrats over Republicans.) Add to that how heavily these polling firms are in the tank for Obama and that explains a lot.

How Gallup released this one is more a mystery.

And don't forget, I'm seeing increased ad coverage by a worried Obama here in California. He shouldn't be spending a dime out here unless his internal polls are saying something dramatic.

Wow, simply wow - dare I say 'racism' factors into Obama's support?

Howard Stern talking about the depth of Obama's supporters. I don't normally listen to Stern but this is a must listen to in my opinion. The aloof Obama could proclaim the sky is red and his voters would likely concur. Yet another reason to wish the Democrat party had had some sense for once.

HT Instapundit, naturally.

Why is Obama spending money on California?

It's not like we're in play. But I'm seeing two+ ads per hour here. It's possible that these are national ads leaking in, but still why throw money at a state he'll likely win by 15 points?

Either he's incompetent (plenty of data to support that) or California's closer than he likes (something I doubt).

And I won't even get into how the ad is factually dubious (at best) on a number of fronts. I really with Richard Daley (D-Ill) would reign in his puppet.

Why discuss the charge when you can slander the messenger?

Another example of how the AP (D-NY) shills for an unprepared Obama can be found here. The headline of:

Analysis: Palin's words carry racial tinge

is meant for an internet reader to associate Palin and racial, not to add any real discussion to Palin's factually valid comments. And this is part of how the Media serves their masters so well - replying with ad hominem slander.

Make no mistake that this is a vitally important election. And that the novice Obama is going into this with a media that refuses to investigate or 'vet' him. Yes, that's insane. And what's even more insane is the number of people who will still vote for a ruthless Obama because of this deceit by the media.

ADDENDUM:

Looks like Instapundit is all over this already. If you think Bush was bad, the race-baiting Obama will be miles worse.

"Rally Darling"

Looks like Sarah Palin can still pack them in. Of course, since she's willing to call ascheming Obama out it's simply natural patriots would respond by showing up.

Considering the slander she suffered at the hands of Obama's allies it's amazing she's kept her cool. Like Hillary, Palin may be one of the few men left in politics.

The real reason for Obama's level of support.

Again over at Instapundit, it looks like Rezko may be talking. Made me realize the reason all of Obama's supporters are so fervent is they all need the pardons.

"Bailout" Bill held off for now.

Which is likely good for America given the nationalization we're seeing. Over at Instapundit he links a mainstream media take on things in Volokh.

What's missing in Ilya's take is this, the public knows enough about the where-fors here to not trust Congress with this bill. It's public knowledge that this market panic was predicted as far back as 1999 in the New York Times (D-NY) but people like Barney Frank (D-NY) worked to prevent that. McCain was trying to fix Fannie Mae (D-DC) as far back as 2005. That the Democrats are being spun as heroes here is obscene.

If it wasn't for the fact that the MSM (D-NY) was absolutely in the tank for Obama you'd hear this. This bailout is all about protecting the 535 jobs in the Capitol and getting Obama into the White House. Not about anyone out in the real world.

That Congress is being looked to for a solution is identical to having a rapist console their victim. *ugh*

"You go to an election with the populace you have."

Just paraphrasing Rumsfeld.

Jim Lindgren @ Volokh is talking about Obama's lead in the polls, which isn't surprising given his support to same. The money quote is the comment from Obvious:

The polls simply show that Americans, given the choice of two extremely bad candidates, will eventually make a bad choice.

Why is it we pick the evil of two lessers? McCain isn't what America needs but it's painfully obvious that Obama is worse (with FARC, Chavez, Hezbollah, Iran, and countless others pulling for him to boot).

Oh, and bonus on math. Obama has a 6% lead in the poll cited above. The poll weighed Democrats 6% more than Republicans. Coincidence?
