For the concern trolls…

I’m sending these next two numbers out to every fucking moron who thinks Obama can’t beat McCain in the general election. Wake up!

RELATED: From TPM…

Today’s Gallup tracking poll gives Barack Obama an 11-point lead over Hillary Clinton, his widest margin ever in Gallup’s polling. [...] The poll was conducted entirely after the “small town” controversy first erupted, a further indication that the whole flap has yet to actually harm Obama’s poll numbers.

Someone put alegre on a suicide watch.

FLASHBACK: I thought I overplayed my hand a bit with this post from January, but who knows. If he takes Pennsylvania after this overblown “bitter” brouhaha, I think my boomerang candidate label might be perfectly valid.

Yes, but Obama’s a racist who hates Christians.

Wait, what?

Awesome ads. I thought the “endless war on the installment plan” line was particularly effective.

Love your blog, Kevin, but it’s always been the case that Obama was going to lose PA by double digits, even before his recent remarks. Of course, with so many of his own supporters apparently helping to lower expectations for the Clinton campaign, I’m betting the eventual 10%~15% loss will be spun as a consequence of Bittergate—thus allowing her to keep running on fumes.

Plum, thanks.

Yeah, winning PA is a pipe dream, but if he scores well in the debate tomorrow night I can see him keeping it pretty close.  We’ll see.

Also, the media isn’t talking much about the compassion forum, but my guess is that a lot more PA folks were watching it than the rest of the nation.

If anything, Hillary’s and McCain’s efforts to push this choice bit of hissy kabuki are backfiring.  She and her surrogates are getting booed—or getting stony silence at best—whenever they try to spin this on the stump.
