Yeah, if you like the RCP Average feature. Personally, I like to look at the polling that goes into their average, for example, here's the data from today: Several features make RCP a little more reliable than the DailyKos, in my opinion: Larger samples "Likely voters" vs "Registered voters"...

Intriguing. Real Clear Politics has the numbers reversed -- McCain ahead but within the margin of error; Barr & Nader at about 3% combined.

Excellent argument. Even better if she's never heard of Alexander Hamilton.

Locals like Wayne Terhune weren't really diggin' on Carla's original excuse... No wonder he decided to play it up a little for the KNPR interview Unfortunately, no one else in the delegation was able to corroborate any of his story -- Well, except for the little altercation over seating...

I'm sure it is awkward for those 4 delegates, Paulette. Chris Dyer explains his vote for McCain: Carl Bunce explains his vote for McCain: Arden Osborne explains his vote for McCain: Lisa Marie Johnson explains her vote for McCain What kind of advocates for liberty are they if they...

Just passing this one along... Looks like part of an ongoing campaign against the RLC of Northeast Florida.

One, but that's iffy. BKom calls it a shut out. It's still uncertain whether the RNC will seat any of the delegates, although the McCain campaign has sided with the Nevada GOP.

Here's the logic: By March 4, John McCain had enough pledged delegates to be the GOP nominee. McCain is the guy the voters picked in primaries and caucuses across the country by a pretty big margin. "The race for Nevada’s Electoral College votes remains close, but for the fourth time in the...

Sometimes, being a real friend means telling someone, "You're wrong." The overwhelming majority of R's just don't have the patience to put up with the confrontational, fanatical absolutism which makes the haters in Nevada (and neighboring Arizona) very hard to work with. Yesterday's primary...

Yeah, I know it sucks that some heartless bastard actually came in here and used your own tactics against you. Here's the scoop, in case you missed it: The Republican voters in Nevada have pretty much told the haters, "Buh-bye." Now don't be sore. It's really unbecoming.

Preferable to a Barack Hussein Obama, certainly. But it's no matter friend. Let your conscience be your guide.

In a world where there are a limited number of registered voters who are active in their party, it might be considered a good thing to convert members of the opposition. I don't know all the details, but it certainly seems plausible that Jeff Flake and John Shadegg have found a wedge issue for...

Oooh! I know! I know! Smith was caught leaking confidential party information to the renegade "Patriots" who have been trying to take over the party's delegation to the GOP's national convention next month. And upon being confronted with the evidence, Smith reportedly flew into a rage and told...

Apologies, B. I've gone back to edit the post. I like that line, "If they'd just paid attention and hadn't tried to be clever, everything would have gone much more smoothly." Touché, mon ami. Touché. I feel so... humbled. If I have the final score right, Mike Weber has ended his campaign for...

Hmmm... lemme think. I don't, but I'd like to jump in here. As upsetting as it may be to you, there are a number of small "l" libertarians who have no trouble connecting the dots on Iraq. Don't be hatin' Just sharing what others are saying.
