Turning To the Graphs

I love graphs. I don't know why, but I've always loved graphs and maps. I'm like Stalin when it comes to maps. I can look at a map all day long and never get tired of it. It's the same with graphs. That's probably why I'm always posting charts and graphs on this blog. I especially like the graphs at Pollster.com. I've spent endless hours at that site.

With the PA primary a week away and with the recent hoopla over Obama's bitter comments I thought I would set another graph into play here showing the latest polling data.

As you can tell, there really isn't a post-bitter change. All that could decidedly change today once Fox News learns that their constant barrage of anti-Obama coverage isn't working and they decide to declare Deafcon III on the presumed Dem nominee. It's doubtful, to me, even that will have any affect on the primary, however.

In the meantime our Grand Leader George Bush is basking in the latest polling data. After having plateaued somewhat in the very low thirties, Bush seems to be tanking into unclaimed territory.
Republicans love to remind people that this election isn't about George Bush. That he isn't on the ballot and bringing him up only demonstrates Democratic inability to set aside our hatred of him rather than speaking about the policies and issues effecting our future. It's a genuine try by the neocon-controlled Republicans. I don't blame them at all. I certainly wouldn't want the least popular and most incompetent presidency since 1928 to be my party's legacy either. But the fact of the matter is a two term president that is solely responsible for the current state of this country is a talking point in this election. And those who voted for him, those who have looked past his incompetency and who have allowed him to run this country into the ground, are the very same ones who are now trying to exclude him from the discussion. Like I've always said, responsibility sucks.

Your buddy Kent would disagree.

How can you stand conversing with someone so brainwashed and died-in-the-wool wrong-on-everything? Don't you ever want to just slap his fat little face and say, "WAKE UP! They are LYING to you!!"

People like Kent make me wonder if evolution really is just a myth.

Kent said...

Bush's economic record alone guarantees that he will be remembered as an 'above average' President, at worst.

Once Iraq turns around to the extent that even the densest among us can no longer deny success, he'll be remembered in the top tier of Presidents, ever. Right up there with FDR, TR, Truman and Reagan.

crallspace, Kent usually does disagree but he's welcome here any time.

Kent, are you just trying to win that Fantasy World Award or what?

Kent said...

No, Headcase has that award locked up. He drops by my blog and does ridiculous drive-by comments.

Anyway, Christopher, sounds like you and I need to make a friendly wager.

What shall we wager?
