POPS Palin Loved on First Impression Her political enemies will surface and bring up the non scandal of the trooper non-firing. She is loved by the people, but hated by the defeated, corrupt political establishment. She will have the same nationally. She has too much of the common touch for the establishment to love her. That fact will only endear her to the people. Note: All polling is from Rasmussen Reports. http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/election_20082/2008_presidential_election/palin_makes_good_first_impression_is_viewed_more_favorably_than_biden

POPSBob San Sushi in Chicago - Negative Review Last night I had an unfortunate run in with the manager at Bob San. First, let me preface this story by saying my wife and I have dined there multiple times, and enjoy sushi probably once a week. However, we will not be going back.

POPSThe Group Of Eights' Empty Rhetoric With rising gas costs, Americans in a variety of polls have shown by a majority they now want to explore offshore drilling, so this move will be popular among that majority and John McCain has been pushing for it as well. Reported on June 26, 2008, the InsiderAdvantage/Poll, asks "Do you favor or oppose increased exploration and production of oil and natural gas off the coasts of Florida?” Favor (61%) Oppose (32%) No opinion (7%) Rasmussen- June 17, 2008: "67% Support Offshore Drilling, 64% Expect it Will Lower Prices." Zogby- June 26, 2008: "74 percent support offshore oil drilling in U.S."

POPSCongress ratings plunge in poll Reid's comment speak volumes!! The Dems have completely refused to co-operate with the President whenever possible...they preferred to investigate and undermine the Administration. Talk about a 'do-nothing Congress'! Rasmussen had the percentage at 9.

POPSCo-Creation and Online Community: D*I*Y Planner and Levenger "For companies interested in co-creation like this, the most important step is participation. Speak with communities as a genuine, authentic person interested in learning and collaboration. Earn trust by giving more than you receive. Prototype alongside your customers, and share your failures as frequently as your successes. Be remarkable."

POPSSingle-Digit Approval? Not Exactly Rasmussen did not ask if voters "approved" or "disapproved" of Congress, but rather to rate Congress' performance as excellent, good, fair, or poor. A total of 45% answered excellent (2%) good (7%), or fair(36%).

POPSVoters Give Congress Nine-Percent Approval Rating Last month, 11% of voters gave the legislature good or excellent ratings. Congress has not received higher than a 15% approval rating since the beginning of 2008. The percentage of Democrats who give Congress positive ratings fell from 17% last month to 13% this month. The number of Democrats who give Congress a poor rating remained unchanged. Among Republicans, 8% give Congress good or excellent ratings, up just a point from last month. Sixty-five percent (65%) of GOP voters say Congress is doing a poor job, down a single point from last month. Voters not affiliated with either party are the most critical of Congressional performance. Just 3% of those voters give Congress positive ratings, down from 6% last month. Sixty-three percent (63%) believe Congress is doing a poor job, up from 57% last month. http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/mood_of_america/congressional_performance/congressional_performance

POPSCongressional Performance Single digits, huh? Ms. Pelosi and Mr. Reid promised so much...but the final number says it all. Most of us believe that Congressmen & women are more interested in promoting their careers rather than dealing with issues. No one called me, but I couldn't agree more. I saw Sen. Warner talking about lowering the speed limit to 55mph again. What an embarrassment!

POPSPoll: Obama Doing Well With Women Remember how Clinton drop out? Remember how every pundit and his brother said Obama was going to have a problem with women voters? Remember how they were all going to vote McCain? Yeah, that's not happening...

POPSFriggin Ridiculous Today's act just emphasizes what the Danish depiction of Muhammad was doing in the first place. This Muslim militance is completely out of control. It's great if your religious law prohibits depiction of a prophet - no problem at all. If you are a part of that religion, then don't do it. But when a religious group feels they can attack another country for breaking one of its laws, when that country is not governed by those laws, that completely crosses the line. Should we - the US - be allowed to bomb any country that depicts Bush, the American flag, etc. in a derogatory way? I don't think so. This is no different than the crusades where non-Christians were killed/persecuted for not practicing Christianity. That was one of the great atrocities of world history. If we don't stop these religious fundamentalists, it could turn out similarly.

POPSDemocrats now trusted more on all 10 Rasmussen issues another significant trend of Election 2008—there is a growing number of people who consider themselves to be Democrats. In fact, the Democrats now have the largest partisan advantage over the Republicans since Rasmussen Reports began tracking this data on a monthly basis nearly six years ago.

POPSPopular Vote: Obama 48.9% Clinton 51.1% (continued) in some states, these were not recorded (or whether to count Florida and Michigan:) http://www.redstate.com/stories/elections/2008/obamomentum_revisited Here's the remaining schedule, with a chart showing the most recent poll I could find - I used Rasmussen for West Virginia, Kentucky and Oregon, a mid-April Dakota Wesleyan poll for South Dakota, a mid-April Puerto Rico poll, and, lacking a head-to-head poll, I used Rasmussen's general election numbers for Montana, which show Obama polling much better, but with basically similar numbers to the South Dakota poll (but note that unlike earlier Obama mountain-state victories these are primaries, not caucuses).

POPS"Social Gospel" At The United Church Of Christ >>>>>>>POLITICAL CARTOON<<<<<<<<<<<< Pastor Jeremiah Wright, who has become part of the national political dialogue in recent days, is viewed favorably by 8% of voters nationwide. A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 58% have an unfavorable view of the Pastor whose controversial comments have created new challenges for Barack Obama’s Presidential campaign. http://ucctruths.blogspot.com/

POPSBill Clinton: Hillary-Obama Ticket "Almost Unstoppable Force" Via the Page. Note the extent to which he volunteered her thinking on this. This report suggests that he offered this in an answer to a question. But Hillary floated this yesterday, and, now, Bill today -- and it's hard to imagine that both Clintons would be talking this up in tandem by accident. Separately, Newsweek's poll today finds that 69% of Dems support the idea. Late Update: Obama himself rejected the possibility that he'd serve as veep: Obama was asked by a television reporter, "Can you ever see yourself on the same ticket as Sen. Clinton?" And the freshman Illinois senator replied: "Well, you know, I think it’s premature. You won’t see me as a vice presidential candidate -- you know, I’m running for president. We have won twice as many states as Senator Clinton, and have a higher popular vote, and I think we can maintain our delegate count."
