Both candidates continue to tinker with their strategies.

With 20 days to go until the general election, new research on state polls by Karl Rove & Co. shows two more states moving into the electoral vote column of Sen. Barack Obama and one other state moving from tossup into the column of Sen. John McCain's states. Obama in recent days (before last night's final debate) has gained Florida and Colorado, a total of 36 hypothetical electoral votes, to give Obama a new total of 313, well beyond the 270 necessary. McCain gains Indiana's 11 electoral votes to give him a total of 174. Only 51 votes in four states remain in the tossup category, as shown in yellow on the map below, courtesy of Karl Rove & Co. The study's methodology and a chart showing weekly movements from July are available by clicking on the Read more line below. -- Andrew Malcolm Free instant alerts of all Ticket items are available by registering here. MethodologyFor each state, the map uses the average of all public telephone polls (Internet polls are not included in the average) taken within 14 days of the most recent poll available in each state. For example, if the most recent poll in Montana was taken on July 15, the average includes all polls conducted between July 1 and July 15. States within a three-point lead for McCain or Obama are classified as toss-ups; states outside the three-point lead are allocated to the respective candidate. There is no polling data available for the District of Columbia, but its three e ... Source: www.csmonitor.com --- 1 day ago
Ann Arbor, Mich. – There are probably very few Democrats who would ever admit to being fans of Karl Rove, the political strategist who successfully led George W. Bush through two presidential elections. But Sen. Barack Obama’s team seems to have studied the campaign efforts of Mr. Bush’s former adviser and is putting the lessons [...] ...

Last week New Yorker columnist George Packer noted that while Sarah Palin's syntax is mangled, more significantly it lacks verbs. It's mostly nouns. Maverick, hockey mom, Joe sixpack, elitist, terrorist, small-town people --lots of heavily loaded nouns. Loaded nouns and the adjectives that modify them are part of everyone's vocabulary, but in recent decades--under the influence of Karl Rove and a general Republican emphasis on sounding practical--conservatives have leaned heavily upon them. This year's election is turning out to be something of a referendum on radical nounism, which looks to be going down if not out. In the current economic crisis people want to know what the candidates will do. For the first time in decades, noun-intensive rhetoric isn't winning votes. We intuit that nouns are what practical people focus on. They're what make the world feel solid. Nothing is more solid than a thing. Feel that table in front of you. It's a hard thing, a hard truth. Using nouns, especially loaded ones, to describe people is the simplest way to telegraph your view of which ones to trust and which not to trust A person is a thing, either a good thing or a bad thing depending on what nouns we assign. "Mavericks" are good things so you can trust anyone who is a maverick. That's being plainspoken, calling a spade a spade. "Elitists" and "talkers" are bad things, so you can't trust them. That's a solid hard truth too. Noun-heavy communicatio ... Source: blogs.tampabay.com --- 4 hours ago

Joe the Plumber. (They might want to consider calling it the Palin/Plumber campaign, actually) It just makes so much sense, on so many levels, and actually manages to up the national fuckedness factor from where I judge it to stand today. Which is more of a stretch than ever, really. If this dream ticket seems hopelessly far-fetched, to you, just remember that Karl Rove and I are both huge Borges fans. ...

by Tom Chartier Well now heres a good question. Is Sarah Palin qualified to be VP? More accurately, given the doddering qualities of John McCain, is she qualified to be President of the United States? I find both of these questions ludicrous. In my book, the answer is a resounding NO WAY! As a friend said: I wouldnt vote for her as dog catcher. Why? Simply, one does not go from president of the local PTA to small town mayor to governor of a State with only 700,000 residents spread thinner the Katrina hurricane relief to qualification for POTUS over night. It just aint that simple. Also, I can testify from experience that quite often PTA Presidents are just as corrupt and conniving as Karl Rove. In fact after serving their posts of Pres and Vice-Pres, the two fascist PTA buddies (both eager beaver attractive moms just like Sarah Palin) at my sons school simply switched places in order to maintain continuity. Where have we heard that lame excuse before? Oh yeah, its in the 2006 Military Commissions Act. But I digress with the absurdity of my local PTA Nazis. So really, what then is Ms. Palin? Is she just an average bubbly hockey mom? Or is she a typical back stabbing office seeker hungry for power, power and more power with and I shudder at the thought God on her side? Anyway, the question remains. Is Sarah Palin qualified to be President of the United States? Dont kid yourself here VP is not the issue. Well, as I have of ... Source: TheState.com --- 3 hours ago
Here we go again. Politicians falling in the polls are resorting to character slurs and political smears. To the people of South Carolina it’s deja vu — all over again. Last week John McCain’s campaign launched a web advertisement about Barack Obama’s ties to a “domestic terrorist.” Sarah Palin claimed that Obama sees America “as being so imperfect ... that he’s palling around with terrorists who would target their own country” and repeatedly commented on Obama’s “association” with “terrorists.” It is a chilling indictment. But false. Such sad irony. In the 2000 primaries, after John McCain defeated a heavily favored George Bush by 19 percentage points in New Hampshire, the Texas governor’s campaign was in trouble. If Bush lost the S.C. primary, where his opponent was already popular, he had little chance of stopping McCain. Something had to be done. Anything. Led by Karl Rove, a group of S.C. operatives started a campaign to smear McCain, to tarnish his reputation as a man and as a father. ... Source: blogs.e-rockford.com --- 1 day ago

These days, even Karl Rove thinks things don't look good for John McCain. Sure, in his latest column for the Wall Street Journal he says that Barack Obama hasn't wrapped up the election yet -- but at the same time, he seems to doubt that McCain can pull off a comeback. And in the latest Electoral College map produced and released by his consulting company, Rove projects Obama as the winner of 313 electors, 43 more than the magic number of 270 needed for victory. He lists only four states -- Missouri, Nevada, North Carolina and Ohio -- as tossups, and in all of those, Obama is slightly ahead. Overall, since Rove's last map, Obama has gained 36 Electoral College votes as Rove has moved both Colorado and Florida into his column; both were previously too close to call. (Admittedly, the map is compiled using an average of public polls, not the best or most accurate way to do this.) Now here's the question of the day: Rove was sorely mistaken when he doggedly predicted, in the face of all available evidence, that Republicans would hold on to their congressional majorities in 2006. So is he right this time? Rove.com ...
Maybe before Sen. John McCain goes all mavericky on Sen. Barack Obama about William Ayers at Wednesday's debate, Grumpy Old Man McCain should check out his own transition team. An excerpt from The Huffington Post: William Timmons, the Washington lobbyist who John McCain has named to head his presidential transition team, aided an influence effort on behalf of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein to ease international sanctions against his regime. The two lobbyists who Timmons worked closely with over a five year period on the lobbying campaign later either pleaded guilty to or were convicted of federal criminal charges that they had acted as unregistered agents of Saddam Hussein's government.... Remember Saddam Hussein? You know, John, that bad man we had to get out of the way in Iraq? Nice that your buddies were trying to help him after the first Gulf War. What's that? You didn't know these people? It's guilt by association? What's the old expression? Those who live in glass houses and throwing stones? Something like that. Now hike up your pants to your nipples and complain about the government and leave the fear mongering and character assassination to others like Karl Rove and George W. Bush. ...
