Ah jwest, it probably was the last thing Foster heard, but you forgot to mention it was right after he "serviced" Bill.

I’m sure the last thing Foster heard was Hillary saying:

“Just sit down over there, Vince, I’ll be right with you”.

Whenever Silhouette goes off about Larry Sinclair, all you need say is "Vincent Foster."

One crazy conspiracy theory deserves another.

In the ’04 elections, the average of all the final polls overestimated Kerry’s performance in 43 states, while only overestimating Bush’s totals in 3 states.

Polls have always overestimated democrat outcomes. This has led to charges that pollsters are weighting their results improperly to give people the impression of massive democrat support. Using the generic polls, Obama should be ahead by 15 points by now, but he continues to fall behind McCain.

Of course, Obama’s campaign will say the polls are useless at this point, but a definite trend is developing.

Here. Dems need to work harder and get a boost out of this convention. Let's see how it looks next week (after the Dems convention has ended for a few days) and then the following week (to see if the GOP convention manages to produce any gains at all).

Well, Obama's newness and concern by many about having their taxes raised substantially (which isn't helpful to strained budgets) may lead to a large quiet contingent (if not a quiet majority, which I don't believe is the case) to consider McCain, holding their noses if they must.

As for the lefties on lefty talk radio, they simply are outraged that the polls aren't so heavily in Obama's favor. All kinds of conspiracies are there (racism, corporate right-wing behavior by the media to try to discredit Obama's campaign) but the most entertaining part of the reaction has been the people's own views. Example:

"We should be able to run Charles Manson against McCain and the Republicans and do better than 90 per cent in any real polls! And he killed fewer people than Bush, too!"

Ignore the polls!

Obama still has a chance!

lol...

The only poll I'm waiting to see is the one just after the Sinclair story "an American...who bravely asked that the truth be told" is released.

Ouchies!
