      Obama rejects McCain's mortgage buyup plan

      Posted by Jeff from MSNBC

      The plan would cause the government "to massively overpay for mortgages in a plan that would guarantee taxpayers lose money, and put them at risk of losing even more if home values don't recover," Obama economic adviser Jason Furman said in a statement. "The biggest beneficiaries of this plan will be the same financial institutions that got us into this mess, some of whom even committed fraud."

    • 9% 'satisfied' with US direction

      Posted by snowright from Feeds.feedburner

      Presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain are set to meet for the second presidential debate in Nashville Tuesday night at a time when only 9% of Americans are satisfied with the way things are going in the United States -- the lowest such reading in Gallup Poll history.

      Send the prez-elect to Poland Climate Talks

      Posted by Jeff from Grist

      In December 2009, the leaders of the world are scheduled to come together in Copenhagen to negotiate a successor to the Kyoto agreement. If there's any chance of that meeting providing a real breakthrough, though, there's much groundwork that needs to be done beforehand. In December 2008, after the American election but before Inauguration Day, the world is meeting in Poland to prepare for the Copenhagen climate talks. The winner of November's presidential election could rivet the world's attention on these negotiations if he flew to Poland in December and declared that the United States is back in the game.

      Obama Opens Up 100 Electoral College Vote Lead

      Posted by Jeff from firstread.msnbc.msn.com

      A week after Obama's poll numbers spiked in battleground states and after McCain's campaign announced it was retreating from Michigan, Obama has opened up a nearly 100-point electoral-vote lead, according to NBC's new map. Obama now has a 264-174 advantage over McCain, up from his 212-174 edge last week.

    McCain takes 5-point lead over Obama

    I also agreed completely with Nathalie’s initial remark. Everything I said can be verified, as well. Polling provides data that needs to be taken with a large grain of salt. Questions are very carefully worded and sometimes the samples are carefully fudged.

    Of course, the results are equally carefully interpreted.

    As far as the other remarks, well… Since all expressions of political opinion are "partisan attacks" then yes, that’s what it was.

    I made an unaligned observation, whose content can be verified. Koroth made a partisan attack with no substantiation other than "I believe."

    Very true, however Zogby is more reliable than polls from the news agencies. CBS in particular, I believe, does very poor polling.

    That McCain is pulling ahead of Obama, despite the love affair (and resulting free publicity) of the press for Obama really shows how lacking in substance Obama really is.

    I’m sure CNN and the others will do their best to overcome that issue.

    You can’t trust the Zogby polls because their methodology includes self-selected participants.  Always consider others when assessing.
