30 days left [chat]

There about 30 days left before the presidential election. There is still plenty of time for an October surprise. The Huffington Post is reporting that the McCain Campaign and Republican National Committee is going to go negative. So watch for dirty tricks.

Pollster.com has added flash trendlines for up to date polling. They put all polls in, and do not weight them, so these charts are the raw aggregate.

Pollster rates Indiana as being a toss up state. I bet none of really thought we would really be saying that one month out.

It's pretty damn crazy.

The odd part about the "negative" strategy is that McCain's debate performance was damaged by his constant "Obama doesn't understand" moments. So I don't know how negative attacks in the campaign overall will go over better than the negative attacks during the debate.

My guess is that on Tuesday's Debate McCain will be less of an asshole towards Obama so that people say "Man, he's so great" while his campaign launches negative attacks. That way he can insulate himself from the negativity.

That or he'll bring a puppy on stage, kill it, and then fuck its corpse.

It's Mega Man 1 hard, or more so.

Mike Lewis said...

They have always been hard, but i was able to get REALLY close to beating mega man 2 (i was able to clear 5-6 levels consistantly).

Mega Man 9 is not nintendo hard. It is fucking super fucking hard. I cant get past the 1st jump!
