IMPORTANT POLLS

Ralph Nader Still Trailing In Battleground States

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

Here are some important new Battleground polls that you should take with a grain of salt, because they have not factored in Ron Paul’s 1/3-endorsement of Ralph Nader today. Otherwise, these are pretty good signs for Obama — after all, they were conducted Sept. 7-9, a three-day period during which Democrats caved entirely to their old friend Self-Loathing and Republicans were gaining media traction with the impossible idea that they care about women at all. So why is it that New Hampshire and Michigan are being so Sexist? [The Page]


INCOHERENT ELECTORAL ANALYSIS

Pathetic, Failed Presidential Candidate Barack Obama To Win Presidential Election

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

Even though the Internet has already concluded that Barack Obama lost the election after some unknown wingnut vice president lady gave one surly speech last week, we couldn’t help but check out the electoral map anyway, just for kicks. Above is the fun Pollster map, and then you’ve got your FiveThirtyEight map, and this is a good thing to read also. Now play around with this stuff for exactly two minutes, preferably while drinking, and after those two minutes you’ll realize that Barack Obama still has this shit safely locked up. MORE »


FUTURE TECHMOLOGIES

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

MOST ELITIST PHOTO OF ALL TIME: The Detroit Free Press is so in-the-tank for Barack Obama that they used some terribly expensive camera to cover his rally with Al Gore in Michigan yesterday. It’s a 360-degree shot of a packed Joe Louis Arena, and you can swivel it, zoom in, zoom out, marvel at the diverse crowd of hard-working white Americans and black children, or whatever it is that gets you off about these big Hopey cult rituals.

HILLARY CLINTON

More Coverage of the DNC RBC Meeting!

Saturday, May 31st, 2008
  • “The Democrats are throwing the election away. And for what? An inadequate black male?”

    [Firedoglake]

  • American Hero Lanny Davis runs around the Marriott shouting and cursing at people to listen to his crap, only to be mocked. You must read this 80 times. [Huffington Post]
  • Larry Sinclair shows up, carrying a box of “Obama’s DIRTY LITTLE SECRETS: Murder, Drugs, Gay Sex” fliers. [TNR, YouTube]

More nutjob protesters, after the jump. MORE »


HILLARY CLINTON

Jesus Saves America After All!

Saturday, May 31st, 2008

“WASHINGTON (AP) - Democratic party officials said a committee agreed Saturday on a compromise to seat Michigan and Florida delegates with half-votes after Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton failed to get enough support to force their positions through.”

Fair, great, it’s over, HOORAY! But… MORE »


HILLARY CLINTON

The End (Of The World)?

Saturday, May 31st, 2008

Here’s a picture from our Wonkette “Saturday” operative. It is the worst car in the world, and America should be ashamed of it. It’s “rallying” around the DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee at some Marriott in northwest Washington D.C., along with various comical Hilltards and tragically counter-protesting Obamatards. Somehow the only result of the meeting will be the War in Iran. But are they making any progress? Perchance! MORE »

Okay, there’s not a whole lot to the story, but still, GRAND RAPIDS!

BARACK OBAMA

Is John Edwards Finally Going To Endorse Barry? (UPDATE: Yup!)

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

So hints tragic reporter hero Mark Halperin, who says the Barry campaign will announce a major endorsement between 6:15 and 7:15. Obama will be holding a rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan tonight — and John Edwards got on a plane this afternoon! Maybe he was just flying to Outer Space or some deserted island, far, far away from the speculative hellhole we call the Two-Hour News Cycle.

UPDATE: Nope, no vacation. It’s confirmed by Politico, ABC, MSNBC, NYT, etc. etc., that Edwards will indeed throw his White Weight behind Elitist Barry. [The Page]


BARACK OBAMA

Barack Obama Is Misogynist Pig

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008


Barack Obama hates women, because he’s a fairy, and also because they don’t vote for him. Guy goes to Michigan today, for example. What does he call this Journalistic Local Reporter Girl? He calls her “Sweetie,” earning a tragically sarcastic remark in response. Can we safely assume that he is pro-life now? [YouTube]


FUNNY PICTURES

Barack Obama Is A Goofball

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

Old Barry visited the evil state of Michigan today, where Hillary Clinton beat Nobody by only 15%. They have many Bitters in Michigan ever since the Chinese & Mexicans took their factory jobs. This is why Barry, a terrible elitist who has never even spoken to a white person before, visited the sole fancy factory still operating. Does he have any idea that these people — the ones with jobs — aren’t the real people of Michigan? Anyway, here he is looking like Steve Urkel with bird flu. [AP Photo]

Jennifer Granholm’s Medical Emergency Drama!

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

Get well soon, Governor!Yoiks! Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm, the woman who could be president someday if she weren’t a secret Canadian, has undergone emergency surgery to remove “a bowel obstruction.” We don’t know much about bowel obstructions except that labrador retrievers get them when they eat pantyhose. The governor’s problem seems to stem from a 1993 car accident. But what will this mean for Michigan’s Democratic delegate mess? MORE »
