....defeat in Iraq

...universal health care (except for babies who survive abortion)

...increased Social Security taxes

...increased federal income and estate taxes

...no new drilling for oil

...free college tuition for all

 ...had a couple of hate filled lunatics as spiritual advisors

Yep, sounds like a centrist to me.

My rear-end!

Only someone from that far-far-far left would consider him to be marching towards the center. In my book, he would have to march to hell and back to even get close.

Funny, isn't it? Shortly after he successfully defeats Hillary, by attacking her from the left, he takes over her strategy of trying to portray himself as "moving to the center". How many idiots actually fall for this?

Obama's relentless march...to the center.

Obama's relentless march (to the center)???

One other relentless march springs to mind:

The Faber HS marching parade band in Animal House, where Bluto steals the baton and leads the mindless band into a dead end alley and they all crash and pile up.

Relentless march to the center as opposed to relentless Lazy Boy chair tester?

Irrespective of what Obama says or does, he must be seen as being outside the mainstream. How can Jeff Greenfield explain how Obama can be viewed in any other way when members of the Democrat party call for the nationalization of the oil companies? What political party has blocked building new transmission lines,building new power plants, and drilling for oil and gas? What, for example, is mainstream about implementing the Fairness Doctrine when it inhibits the expression of ideas since the Democrats already "own" the MSM. There is no centrality in Obama's views. Obama is a socialist. Hillary is a socialist. No amount of spin will change that.

Motherbelt, Chris, CT and BT and others have expressed that there is no moderation in Obama. What lame analysis is Greenfield providing? Of course, he's on Katie's show.

Now that Her Royal Clintoness is out, they will simply keep repeating "centrist, centrist, centrist" for Obama.

Whatever position he takes on anything will be described as "moderate."

Just remember that every statement made and every position taken by Hussein O has a shelf life of 48 hours or less. His word is good for less time than that of milk in a broken refrig. 

Old, Retired and glad of it.

The MSM's "relentless march" of polls stating how big O's lead is. This meme will be repeated day and night, 24/7 till November 3rd drilling it into everyones head how inevitable his win will be so you may as well stay home if your voting for McCain.

We know what he is, a lefty, just another tax and spend Democrat for Socialist/Marxist programs.

He is a combination of McGovern, Dukakis, Mondale and Jimmy Carter.

Gallup: All tied at 45
June 25, 2008
by Ed Morrissey

Gallup’s daily presidential tracking poll has had Barack Obama and John McCain in a statistical dead heat for the last two weeks.  Now it has them in an actual dead heat.  The difference appears to be rising support for McCain, although the changes are quite narrow:

The latest Gallup Poll Daily tracking update on the presidential election finds John McCain and Barack Obama exactly tied at 45% among registered voters nationwide.

Voter preferences had been fairly evenly divided for the past week, with Obama generally holding a slight advantage of two or three percentage points. This is the first time since Gallup’s May 31-June 4 rolling average that Obama does not have at least a slim advantage over McCain. Obama’s largest lead to date has been seven points.

Even better news: the sample is significantly larger than any used by the news media in recent polling (2600 respondents).  It also uses registered voters, which normally would favor Democrats.

Yesterday, Stacy McCain (no relation) explained the polling vagaries:

Given the fact that huge numbers of eligible voters don’t vote, a pollster — if his poll results are to be useful or credible — must try to screen for “likely voters.” This is a doggone difficult thing to do, but it must be attempted, because voters and non-voters differ significantly in their preferences. Non-voters are more likely to support liberal policies and Democratic candidates (a source of endless frustration to liberal Democrats). So a poll that doesn’t properly screen for “likely voters” will always skew leftward (as was true of the Newsweek poll that surveyed “registered voters” rather than “likely voters”).

This is probably why early polls have historically overstated support for Democratic presidential candidates. The closer you get to Election Day, the easier it becomes to determine who the “likely voters” are. Thus, the samples in early polls contain lots of liberal-leaning eligible voters who, in the end, won’t actually bother to vote.

==end quote==

This is why sampling is so important in these polls, and why Newsweek, the LA Times, and CBS traditionally provide outliers rather than predictive results.
