The Demoocratic Convention and the Polls

It is odd that during the Democratic Convention the polls are so close, you would think with the fawning of the elite media that Obama would be well ahead of McCain. Yesterday Gallup had McCain ahead by two percent, today's Poll has Obama ahead by one percent. The Rasmussen Daily Tracking Poll has McCain ahead by one percent. The Poll finds the following, McCain 47% - Obama 46%. Is Obama not sealing the deal with working class white voters? Is it down to his elite background, the Moses of the 21st Century. Or is it a more negative reason, a reason that should not be in this day and age, the matter of race. It can be argued that to favour McCain over Obama is down to the maverick nature of the Senator or his war record, but it should not be because he is white, lets hope the polls are about character not skin colour.

A WEAK Obama

A hard hitting Ad by McCain on Obama, Obama has a weakness on National Security.

Lieberman for VP ?

Chicago Sun-Times: Robert Novak reports on the idea of Senator Joe Lieberman as VP to McCain. This would be a bold move, two maverick politicians, from the Republican side McCain and from the Democrats Lieberman, it would be bold and would show the Republicans as the real change agents.

UK and Russia

BBC News: Reports on the call by the British Foreign Secretary for an realistic relationship between Russia and the West, the need to understand the threat to the West and reaction the West must take in relationship to Russia. Its about time the West in the shape of Europe realised the affect the War between Russia and Georgia has had on International Security. If Russia is not checked, it will be the Ukraine next, that could lead to a hot war with the West. The problem is if the West does not keep the pressure on Russia over Georgia, Russia could make a mistake that could make the Cold War look like happy hour at your local pub.

That Call

Another great Ad by the McCain Camp using Hillary Clinton as an attack dog on Obama. God you got love politics. I would bet a good fiver that Bill Clinton approves and that Hillary Clinton will try to look like that she is not happy with McCain, but she was right about that 3am Call, who would you trust. Come on Obama give me some fun ads, not very impressed so far Senator.
