Did Reagan have 150 lobbyists guiding his campaign? Did Reagan have a chief advisor such As Carley Fiorina who collected an obscene $40 million “golden parachute” when HP fired her sorry Ass? (To add a filip on the Fiorina back-story, 20,000+ people lost their jobs due to Fiorina’s zeal for outsourcing…outsourcing that failed to revive the HP brand during her tenure) The galling thing is that McCain was ranting about greedy CEOs in his remarks on the economy yesterday all the while Ms Fiorina was acting as his spokesperson.

Conveniently McCain left out the fact that he chaired the Commerce Committee, and that his chief economic adivisor, Phil Gramm, pushed for many of the loop-holes and legislation that has contributed to this crisis. John “Deregulate” McCain has got balls I’ll grant him that for even attempting a populist campaign when he, and the Republican’s, long love affair with Corporate America has been crystal clear for almost 30 years starting with the Union Busting, “trickle down” King, Ronald Reagan. In any event, I could fit what McCain knows about the common working man inside my smallest fart.

I’m old enough to remember another candidate who simply talked to the camera about what he would do if elected. That was Ronald Reagan in what appeared to be a close race in 1980.

The wide swing from Obama to McCain in previous Gallup polls are greatly suspect.

In at least one instance Gallup changed its polling sampling and failed to note that it had changed its methods.

One wonders what the reality is.

But, 10 point swings as given previously by Gallup are not realistic nor probable. Someone has been fiddling with the polls. Gallup results are no longer believable nor it seems reliable.
