Poll Predicts Huge Obama Losses

According to a new Gallop poll out yesterday, President Obama will suffer huge losses in red states no matter who the GOP candidate is.

From the Washington Examiner:

Gallup released their annual state-by-state presidential approval numbers yesterday, and the results should have 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue very worried. If President Obama carries only those states where he had a net positive approval rating in 2011 (e.g. Michigan where he is up 48 percent to 44 percent), Obama would lose the 2012 election to the Republican nominee 323 electoral votes to 215.

Is America Ready for Another Black President?

My how time flies. Just 3 years ago, black Americans couldn’t get enough of president-elect Barack Obama. And now Americans can’t get enough of black presidential candidate Herman Cain.

Today, new polls show the former pizza maker surging ahead of President Obama and his closest GOP rival Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney.

Whether Herman Cain’s surge in the polls is temporary or has staying power, he’s enjoying a big enough bounce to take a very slight lead over President Obama in a hypothetical 2012 matchup. At the moment, the Georgia businessman is the only Republican with a lead of any kind over Obama, although former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney has held a similar advantage several times and is currently trailing the president by just two points.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely U.S. Voters shows Cain attracting 43% support, while Obama earns 41%.

According to Rasmussen Reports, Cain is tied with Romney for the lead in the race for the GOP presidential nomination. Nobody else is even close at the moment.

Isn’t America a great country? I wish I was American so I could vote.

Cheney Urges Hillary to Run Against Obama

Former Vice President Dick Cheney thinks the time is right for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to run against U.S. President Barack Obama.

Mr. Obama’s approval numbers have tanked to the lowest level of his presidency amid reports that he plans to sink another $300 billion into a flawed jobs package that will send the national debt soaring even higher.

Obama’s prospects in 2012 don’t look good. Even Obama’s fellow Democrats are sprinting away from him as the chorus of “Run, Hillary, run!” grows ever louder.

Cheney stopped short of endorsing Hillary Clinton for president during an interview with ABC’s Jonathan Karl yesterday. “I think she’s probably the most competent person they’ve got in their -– in their cabinet,” he said. “And -– frankly, I thought she was gonna win the nomination last time around,” he added.

“Maybe if -– the Obama record is bad enough -– and these days it’s not very good, given the shape of the economy maybe there will be enough ferment -– in the Democratic Party so that there will be a primary on their side.”

If Hillary decided to run in 2012 she would certainly have the support of the rabidly leftist media on her side — especially now that they’ve put down their cups of Kool aid.

Rihanna is NOT Esquire Magazine’s Sexiest Woman Alive

All over the Internet blogs claim that troubled singer Rihanna was chosen Esquire magazine’s “Sexiest Woman Alive” for 2011. Unlike those other blogs we actually did our research, and according to Esquire’s website, Rihanna did not even come close in the final vote count.

Rihanna was one of 64 women in the hotly contested “Sexiest Woman Alive” competition. But she didn’t even make it to the Final bracket. Click here to see who actually won the Esquire Sexiest Woman Alive for 2011.

Oh, by the way, Rihanna took off her top for the Enquire cover photoshoot which was supposed to look sexy, but didn’t quite hit the mark. If you recall, this was the shoot that Rihanna caught heat for after she tweeted that she starved herself to look skinny for the cover.

Black Judge Rejects Plea Deal for ‘White Boy’

A seasoned Allegheny County judge recused himself from a case after he practically accused a prosecutor of being a racist.

According to online reports, Common Pleas Judge Joseph K. Williams, who is black, rejected a deal to allow a white defendant — Jeffery McGowan, 24, to plead guilty in exchange for 3 months’ probation.

McGowan stood accused of fighting with a police officer during a traffic stop.

Assistant District Attorney Brian Catanzarite attempted to negotiate a plea deal of 3 months probation for McGowan who did not have a criminal record.

“Catanzarite for some reason comes up with I think ridiculous pleas whenever it’s a young white guy,” an exasperated Williams said from the bench. “I’m just telling you what my observation is. If this had been a black kid who did the same thing, we wouldn’t be talking about three months’ probation.”

A shocked Catanzarite explained that he was standing in for another prosecutor, who negotiated the case.

“Now that the court has essentially called me a racist, I think that’s unfair. I don’t make offers based on race. I make offers based on facts,” Catanzarite said.

Another attorney in the courtroom at the time, Giuseppe Roselli, questioned whether Williams was rejecting the plea because McGowan is white.

“Not because he’s white, but because it’s a ridiculous plea that only goes to white boys that come into this court for the same facts, and I’m not going for it,” the judge responded.

After Williams recused himself from the case, Mike Manko, a spokesman for District Attorney Stephen A. Zappala Jr., said the plea deal was appropriate and agreed to by the officer, who was not injured.

“Negotiated pleas are never based on the race of a particular defendant but rather on the behavior of the defendant and the facts associated with that behavior,” Manko said.

POLL: Choose Who Deserves the Takers Tickets

As you know, longtime member aqtpie was among the 5 lucky winners of the Takers screening and after party tickets. Unfortunately, she is unable to attend due to personal reasons. She emailed me this morning to say,

“I have been a faithful reader from the start and I finally won a contest that I didn’t even try out for… This is a once in a lifetime chance you have to choose who deserves them or maybe do a quick poll!! Thank you so much Sandra.”

It’s very difficult to make a decision because everyone is deserving of the chance to attend. The tickets must go to one winner and their guest (not two members because only one name goes on the list).

So I decided to take Cutie’s suggestion and do a quick poll. Please vote for the member you think deserves the tickets most. Voting ends at 11:30 AM.
