Let me preface my remarks by saying that I am a firm believer that the national polling really does not matter until after the second convention. When both candidates have chosen their VP and held their conventions, then I think we will really get a good idea of how the candidates are stacking up. I …

OBAMA FOLLOWED THE RULES- DO YOU WANT TO VOTE FOR THAT?
David Freddoso, one of the minions at K-Lo’s House of Crazy, dedicates an entire piece in the WSJ to this: According to the Chicago Tribune, Mr. Obama’s petition challengers reported to him nightly on their progress as they disqualified his opponents’ signatures on various technical grounds — all legitimate from the perspective of law.

I really don’t care to spend the next few weeks arguing whether or not McCain is lying about his Christ/Cross/guard moment and will let others chase after things that can not be proven one way or another, but Michael Goldfarb’s defenses are becoming increasingly bizarre: It may be typical of the pro-Obama Dungeons & Dragons …
