Now the Times confirms what New York Magazine mentioned yesterday - MSNBC is set to announce their new progressive slogan, "Lean Forward".
Already MSNBC has succeeded in dividing their ideological foes. Is this "the Great Lean Forward"? Or did MSNBC lack the courage to lean forward a bit more and give us a slogan truly capturing the progressive agenda - "Bend Over"?
Let me gutlessly split the difference and hail the new MSNBC slogan, "The Great Lean Forward", by Benjamin Dover.

What a laugh! MessNBC wants to "raise awareness" of their programming. Yeah, that'll help ratings. Is it because of that recent poll where most people didn't have a clue who Doberman and Madcow were? I am sure once they find out, they will become fans! snort.

Liberals will always have a tough time matching identity conservative success in televised ideotainment. There just isn't as much demand for that kind of thing among liberals, who prefer the more in-depth, fact-based journalism of places like NYT, Wapo, NPR and the BBC.
Identity liberals, of which there are plenty, tend not to spend too much time desperately searching for edification, the way identity conservatives do. That's the pedestrian observation that has made Rush Limbaugh a multimillionaire...at his listener's expense, of course...

These people don't even know that they are not supposed to lean at all. What happened to actual reporting the news as facts and information? I hope that as they stumble forward the slide into the dirt they get a mouthful.

Last week, when I was driving some visitors around the Hollywood Hills, I saw not 1 but 2 homes, each of which had to be worth about $3 million, with big Barack Obama portraits prominently displayed outside. They were a few miles apart, so it wasn't a neighborhood thing.
Odd. I wonder if they were identity liberals, or just Obama cultists.

Michael Barone in the Washington Examiner on the generic ballot surveys:
"Gallup’s numbers tend to be volatile. Its procedures for projecting likely turnout are very sensitive to transitory responses. They’re useful in identifying shifts in the balance of enthusiasm. But they can overstate the swings to one party or the other. Scott Rasmussen’s latest generic ballot numbers among likely voters show Republicans with only a 45%-42% lead, much less than the 48%-38% lead he reported two days ago. That’s based on a three-day average, indicating Democrats fared relatively well on the most recent night of interviewing. Perhaps Barack Obama’s attempts to gin up enthusiasm among Democratic voters are bearing fruit. Or perhaps one night’s results were an anomaly. Polling theory tells us that at least one out of 20 polls is simply wrong, that is, the results differ from what you would get from interviewing the entire population by more than the margin of error.
The realclearpolitics.com average of recent generic ballot polls, with the Gallup likely voter results factored in, shows Republicans ahead by 48%-42%, which is similar to what we’ve seen for the past week or two.
But we do keep seeing poll results from surprising districts that tend to support the Gallup results. Last week I pointed to a poll (from a pollster I don’t know) showing an even race in North Carolina 7 between Republican Ilario Pantano and 14-year Democratic incumbent Mike McIntyre, who won his 2008 race, in which he had an active Republican opponent, with 69% of the vote. Now Ed Morrissey directs our attention to a poll by Public Opinion Strategies, a highly respected Republican firm, in Minnesota 8 showing 36-year incumbent James Oberstar leading Republican challenger Chip Cravaacke by only 45%-42%, within the margin of error.
John McCormack has a good post in the Weekly Standard’s blog on this. Oberstar was first elected in 1974, he is Chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and has brought public dollars to an economically chronically ailing district. He was reelected in 2008 with 68% of the vote. But this is also a district that, despite containing the Democratic strongholds of Duluth and much of the Iron Range (both in St. Louis County) that voted only 53% for John Kerry in 2004 and Barack Obama in 2008. However, at its southern end it includes Isanti and Chisago Counties, exurban counties in the Twin Cities metro area, which despite a Democratic heritage have trended away from Democrats in recent elections—toward Jesse Ventura in 1998 and toward Republicans between 2000 and 2008, when they both voted for John McCain.
Minnesota 8 has a certain historic resonance for Democrats. It was one of only two or three districts (I am away from my desk where I have my papers and sources on this) which in the Republican landslide year of 1946 switched from a Republican to a Democratic congressman. This was a move away from progressive and isolationist Republicans (like Alvin O’Konski in the adjoining then-10th District of Wisconsin) toward labor-backed Democrats (completed in the Wisconsin case by the victory of young Democrat David Obey over O’Konski when they were redistricted together in 1972). Only two Democrats have represented Minnesota 8 ever since, John Blatnik, first elected in 1946 and for whom Oberstar worked as a staffer, and since 1974 Oberstar; only one Democrat, David Obey, has represented what is now Wisconsin 7 since 1969. For Oberstar to have a serious challenge, much less to be in danger of defeat, is quite astonishing. If these numbers are right—and like all poll numbers they are subject to some degree of doubt—they tend to confirm the Gallup likely voter numbers."

Jay Cost also covers the Gallup generic. I don't believe either one has fully identified the "I didn't leave the party, the party left me" element which is the natural result of Dean's sale of the party to the commies.
BOzo and the clown posse have provided irrefutable evidence that the Democrat Party is fully in the hands of people representing only 20% of the electorate. The evidence provided is driving or has driven 'moderate' Dems into either a switch to independent status or to a refusal to support the Three Stooges of the Democalypse in any manner. I'm with Cost in wanting heavy odds prior to placing any money onn a 13-18% disparity on election day but I won't be surprised in the least if results show it to have been true.

The Dem candidates keep throwing out that the Rep's want to cut the fed DoED or eliminate it entirely.
Clearly trying to protect all those bad ideas while they are still in the implementation stage so that the poorly informed candidate says "On No. That's not where I'd cut. I love children". Then if they get elected they can get professional staff people to handle telling them what they need to know about DC and nothing gets changed in fact.
I think that's the game plan. Kim and I have had a nice dialogue at the end of "I Beg to Differ" thread on why they cannot rely on staff.
These elected Reps have to start doing their own homework on the Global Warming, sustainability, diversity, and STEM agendas. Our young people are not only going to be taxed to death, there's a definite broad attempt to keep them ignorant. Now wonder the bureaucrats call it P-16 or P-20.

Just about anywhere in the ADN if there is a story mentioning MIller or Lisa. For instance here on the ">http://www.adn.com/"> home page at this minute are the following stories:

The Tea Party Express returned to Alaska on Monday vowing to beat Sen. Lisa Murkowski all over again.
Alaska Politics blog: Miller wife worked for him in magistrate's office
Miller holds town-hall meeting in Fairbanks
Video: Tea Party Express ads and rally
Tidal wave of outside money swamping 2010 elections
Just pick one and go.
The first story about Tea Party Money has I think 9 negatives comments and 1 positive one on the first page that pops up. That pretty much seems to be the standard ratio. Last night Holy was banging away on a different story about Miller being controlled by outside money etc. ">http://community.adn.com/adn/node/153466?pageNum=13&&&mi_pluck_action=page_nav#Comments_Container"> here, but there are so many to choose from that I usually just start with whatever new ones are on the Home page and go from there.

The other was on a home closer to Sunset, but still in the Hills, a large (huge) iconic Obama poster strapped to the side of the two-story house.

Where would you think that an appearance by Typhoid Obama would have the biggest impact? I'd like to see him in Illinois for a week or so.

I hope Oscammer doesn't come to Ohio because I'm pretty sure Strickland is toast even without his input. The Plain Dealer endorsed Kasich which I'm sure Ted the twitch was counting on to have a ghost of an outside chance. Let BOwser go to Nevada and put the knife in Reid's dowager hump; I'm sure if he uses his
Negrostreet accent and the car analogy, that'll be a sure winner.Posted by: Captain Hate | October 05, 2010 at 02:57 PM
Pagar, I saw that "stop the liberal media" campaign over at Newsbusters this morning. I love it!

Now that's funny.

the car analogy
Never gets old, does it?
Drive; Reverse. Classic.
On the other hand -
Depression; Recovery.
Destroy; Rebuild.
Disdain; Revere.
Demonize; Reason.
Defecate; Rinse.
Divide; Reunify.
Dictate; Repeal.
Demand; Refudiate.
Dork; Regular.
Disheartened, distressed, desperate, doomed, disastrous, demagoguing, Democrats;
Ready.

CH,
A West Coast 'Kiss of Death' tour with a stop in Colorado on the way out probably makes the most sense. I'd just like to see BOzo's former seat turn over with almost all the others.

Yeah Rick, he'd really take it personally in Illinois except the thin skinned bastard takes *everything* personally. So yes; Go West and tell everybody to pucker up.
Nice list, bgates.

Rick B--
I hope Barry O goes to Colo. Calif. Nev and Wash State. A western trip through those 4 states could guaranty a majority Repub senate, and the result would be Obamacare de-funded. Please Barry get on that plane and fly west.

Bloomberg: "Investment bankers for General Motors Co. have met with sovereign wealth funds and private investors in the Middle East and Asia to gauge interest in the automaker’s planned stock sale, said two people familiar with the meetings."
So. Once a state owned company, always a state owned company. Just a different state. No conflict there, is there, wanting a big supplier of oil to own the company expected to produce 62MPG vehicles so they can sell less of their oil?
That should work out just fine.

He's coming to help Deval on October 23rd - and we all recall how much that helped Marsha.

"I'm sure if he uses his

a guy is ladling stuff out of a vat labeled "all-purpose meat" onto ramps that go up into each restaurant?
Reminds me of an old Mad magazine (I think) cartoon depicting a gas station with regular and premium gasoline, and a single large tank underground for both.
