Baby Barry and John Kerry

Rasmussen Reports, a favorite among people looking for an objective pollster, finds a curious July polling resemblance between this year’s Dem nominee and the one who lost back in 2004:

"Obama’s support looks a lot like John Kerry’s. The only big difference is that Obama is currently doing about five points better against McCain than Kerry did against George W. Bush. Four years ago, exit polls showed Bush defeating Kerry among white men by a 62% to 37% margin. Today, Obama is doing four points better than that and trails 58% to 37% among white men.

"The tale is the same among white women. Bush won that demographic by eleven percentage points, 55% to 44%. Obama is doing five points better and trails by only six, 48% to 42%. Among non-white females, Obama leads by fifty-four points, up three from Kerry’s margin of fifty-one points. However, Obama lags a bit among non-white males. This year’s presumptive nominee leads by twenty-nine points among that group, down from Kerry’s thirty-seven point margin."

Whatever Old Media would have you believe about BB vs Mac, this summer situation ought to give any supporter of The One concern. Indeed, some of them already are blaming, what else, racism.

The Dems’ Gilderoy Lockhart

Funny. Wish I’d thought of it first. Fits Baby Barry perfectly. But Instapundit did. Still

We won

While America and the Old Media slept. Not that Baby Barry is likely to agree. But why should that matter?

UPDATE:  Now Mac is saying it, too. 

Old Media honks for Baby Barry

Their readership/viewership declines every year, in part because they’re widely and quite correctly perceived as politically skewed Democrat. But, as usual, the Old Media is deaf to the criticism, so they’re suffering no shame at their announced plans to staff BB’s upcoming "world tour" big time, while continuing to shoo Mac away as, uh, too old, too boring, too Republican.

Afterall, now that the Iraq campaign is essentially over (no thanks to them or the Dems), they can safely leave the Green Zone hotel to have a look around as BB sings his get-out-now tune. The Old Media poobahs also gave preferential treatment to John Kerry, their ersatz war hero, in 2004, and we all saw how well that worked out–for him and for them–but my guess is they really didn’t catch on. They’re insulated by their exorbitant pay and the adulation of their peers, which makes them pretty slow when it comes to reality.

Mac: the surge is the key to Afghanistan

It’s the way to win the Afghanistan campaign, McCain says, logically enough…

"…if I’m elected President, I will turn around the war in Afghanistan, just as we have turned around the war in Iraq, with a comprehensive strategy for victory."

…versus Baby Barry’s unserious preference to abandon Iraq in favor of hunting down (the quite probably already dead) Osama bin Forgotten.

No hope or change there.

Red State Update

Jackie and Dunlap, the Bubbas whose very existence, not to mention their voter registration cards, make Lefties everywhere cringe, discover that the New Yorker’s satirical cover wasn’t the magazine’s first or only pulling of Baby Barry’s nose. Listen in
