    Probably neither - Foas doesn't put too much thought into his posts. It's just picture, article, video - bad one liner, repeat.

    Wouldn't put too much stock in him being a racist, plumb his posts and you hit bottom quick, and I'm not even a licensed plumber.

    So talk radio hosts can blast Obama 24/7 from coast to coast to a degree never, ever approached on television (except for Fox News of course) but they don't count because they're biased? That's f'n brilliant.

    What's stopping the liberals getting a radio show to blast McCain 24/7.

    Oh wait...they tried and nobody listened. You've got the newspaper market cornered. Then again, they're dying.

    Sports radio hosts can get on the air and blast whoever they want as well. Are you against that too?

    I'm against the notion that talk radio doesn't count as media because they're biased heavily in favor of one party. Conservatives decry the mainstream media as being biased when they in fact heavily support an entire medium that is biased. It's a cry baby argument. And when a network like MSNBC emerges to counter the unbelievably biased programming on Fox News then there's even more cry babying. It's absurd.

    Has nothing to do with him smoking, a minority or being black (are you following Mickey Mark's talking points now?).

    It's pretty obvious he looks worn out and disheveled in the first pic and nice and handsome for the GQ cover. Hence, a "polished turd" as Fish likes to say.

    It really shouldn't need explaining, yet I'm not surprised.

    Why did liberal radio fail?

    I've never heard a liberal talk radio show so I wouldn't know. All I hear are the hate filled rantings of Joe Pags, Limbaugh, Hannity, and Levin all day and night.

    Liberals generally like to figure things out for themselves and don't like being told what to think.

    Because television makes us sexy liberals look so much better.

    That said, I'm resetting the topic back to what it should be.

    McCain is gonna fail. Just try to argue that point instead of pondering liberal radio.

    Because liberals in GDP-heavy states like New York, California, and Illinois are too busy working their asses off to listen to AM radio during the day.

    I mean, that's just one modest possibility. :)

    It's probably the reason the conservative version of the Daily Show failed. Most of the Left usually can't channel the rage, "everyone (MSM, gays, muslims, scientists, etc) is out to get us" attitude that the Right does. Most of the Right just aren't funny.

    AP poll: 13 days out


    44% Obama
    43% McCain

    3% margin of error.



    AP poll: Presidential race too close to call
    http://news.bostonherald.com/news/p...e_too_close_to_call/srvc=home&position=recent

    By Associated Press
    Wednesday, October 22, 2008 - Updated 3h ago

    The presidential race tightened after the final debate, with John McCain gaining among whites and people earning less than $50,000, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll that shows McCain and Barack Obama essentially running even among likely voters in the election homestretch.

    The poll, which found Obama at 44 percent and McCain at 43 percent, supports what some Republicans and Democrats privately have said in recent days: that the race narrowed after the third debate as GOP-leaning voters drifted home to their party and McCain’s "Joe the plumber" analogy struck a chord.

    Three weeks ago, an AP-GfK survey found that Obama had surged to a seven-point lead over McCain, lifted by voters who thought the Democrat was better suited to lead the nation through its sudden economic crisis.

    The contest is still volatile, and the split among voters is apparent less than two weeks before Election Day.

    Iroc It,

    You really should do some research before you post...that poll has been discredited by so many sources.

    Sheesh.

    ^That poll has been roundly refuted. 44% of its model is self-identified Evangelicals. The most self-identified Evangelicals who have ever voted in a presidential election was 23% - in 2004. Nate Silver of fivethirtyeight.com has challenged the AP to defend that weighting but they have so far declined. No wonder that poll is so at odds with every other one in the field.

    Obama is up 7% according to an average of partisan and non-partisan polling alike.

    The landslide I predicted way back when Obama secured the nomination (and that I predicted too well before he won the nomination) is about to happen.

    If that AP poll is right, if anyone here has confidence in it, put your money where your mouth is.

    It's no fun to debate people who don't even believe their own arguments.

    And as for George suggesting McCain will win PA... Wow. I don't know what to say. He hasn't led in a single poll there (and there have been literally dozens) since April.

    But that's his strategy now. He is now relying on a state he hasn't led since April, a state where Obama is about 8 points up. And, even if he does win it, he still has to also win five other states where he's behind.

    This is over.

    Landslide.

    I said it in June and I'll say it again.

    Landslide.
