The polls are wrong

Best analysis I’ve seen so far, and there are more than a few out there. Be sure to vote, especially if you’re voting for Mac and Sarah. The drumbeat "news" about Barry’s juggernaut lead is highly suspect, as per usual in the Dems-media symbiosis. Including longtime Dem pollster Zogby International, to mention just one. Followed by this utterly contradtictory AP poll.

Could be the "news" audience is finally catching on. How else to explain this?

Closer to home, the rancho is in a precinct that, in recent years, has been solidly Democrat–unsurprising in Austin’s blue anomaly in a very red state. Yet I have noticed this month quite a number of McCain-Palin lawn signs–a few of them already detached (accidentally?) from their supports. Something is up, and the national polls and the local "news" are not reflecting it.

Of course President Barry  could provoke a nuclear war. He can even pronounce nuclear, so he’s obviously readier than most. It doesn’t take a Weatherman (Ayers) to see that Barry never served, so he has to prove he has the cojones to be CINC. So, breeng heem the red button. Now, honky!

At the very least (wouldn’t this be ironic), Barry might bring back the draft

Another codeword for black

This time it’s "socialist." Isn’t that convenient? Any criticism of Barry at all is racist. What a hoot these Dumbocrats are.

Barry’s forgotten brother

Uh, unless Barry is planning for all of us to be his half-brother’s keeper.

Oh, no, it’s not about race

You betcha, Colin, as Rush puts it you have a history of endorsing "inexperienced, very liberal, white candidates." It’s just not apparent, but Rush is researching. Not that it much matters. Powell’s influence always has been with liberals, not conservatives or libertarians, which is why the latter were underwhelmed when W. made CP his SecState. CP’s endorsement of Barry likely won’t cost Mac a single vote.

UPDATE:  Go figure. Colin’s son, Michael, disagrees. He’s backing Mac. I should add that there was a time when I wanted to like Colin Powell, especially because he was a Vietnam combat veteran. But, over time, I began to see him as one of our weakest generals since George McClellan. Moreover, as SecState he was Big Media’s most reliable leaker of administration secrets. He was far and away W.’s poorest, and least loyal appointment.

Two points is “a solid lead”?

According to the propagandists at Associated Press, anyhow, who set a new standard for bias.

UPDATE:  Meanwhile, Mac gives Letterman-the-bore his biggest audience in three years. WUWT?

They patted their wallets

Fellow Texan Beldar’s take on the last formal debate before the looong election is over:

"John McCain did fine at the third debate, but he benefited mostly because Barack Obama’s ordinariness became more obvious to more people. More people escaped the mass hypnosis tonight. They sat up suddenly, took a deep breath, and as they watched Barack Obama, do you know what they did next?"

(Check the headline) Heh.
