KNIGHT PREDICTS SENATE MONTANA RACE MOMENTUM
2007-02-23 23:24:15 Reports of Conrad Burn's political death appear to have been greatly exagerated and hopes of a Democratic Senate are fast fading from view.Down by as many as 14 points in this race, Burns has rallied back as conservative in this very red state have begun coming home........exactly as we predicted.Burns has closed to within 3 points (inside the polls margin of error). The senatorial balance of power, which had peaked at 49 Democrats 49 Republicans 2 tossups, now shows 47 Democrats 48 Republicans and 5 tossups. Control for the Dems means winning 4 of the 5- Virginia, Tennessee, Missouri, New Jersey and Montana . Of the 5, I predict the Dems will win only New Jersey....and even that won't be easy for them.Conceding New Jersey and Maryland as Democratic holds, and adding Pennsylvania, Ohio and Rhode Island as pickups, the Dems will do +3 at the absolute best.That leaves them at a 52-47 minority.In the House, new polls show Republicans ahead in Connecticut 2, Indiana 7, New York 20, Flo...

The Beatles, Forever
2007-02-23 23:24:15 Something off-politics for a change of pace...I was inspired to look around on the internet and found bits of the rooftop concert from the film Let It Be (which has never been released on DVD officially - pisses me off to no end!) If you have never seen the film, it is absolutely unreal. The rooftop concert, albeit short, remains my favorite concert film of all time. They made it look so easy to pick up instruments and be the beatles... Finding this stuff is like finding buried treasure.Don't Let Me DownUunbelievable. Keep one eye on McCartney's bass playing. He provided the blue print for all bass playing in rock music to come. There's a scene where you can see the cameraman lying on his back facing John; There's some smiling between John and Paul over the lyrics (Ooh she done me, she done me good); Keyboard player is the late/great Billy Preston; they all looked so happy to be playing. The Beat les loved to play, even in the midst of tumult. Here's a few more, and you can fin... More About: Forever , Ever , The Beatles

RAGE WITHOUT REASON AND CHANGE FOR THE SHEER SAKE OF CHANGE?
2007-02-23 23:24:15 Republicans are being warned to brace for the coming storm. If you believe the experts, there will be a Democratic House. Not could be, or may likely be, will be.Granted, many have been predicting it all year. However, in the last week, Charlie Cook, Larry Sabato, Fred Barnes, Frank Luntz, and Scott Elliott have all stated that, for the first time this year, the Dems have the seats needed to take the House.Cook says that a Category 5 hurricane is bearing down on the GOP, Luntz says that any Republican not facing the reality of a Democratic House is in denial and Nancy Pelosi is being called 'Speaker Pelosi'.Well......"Let me be the first to call you Mr. President".~Bob Shrum to John F Kerry on the morning on November 2nd, 2004.It is not that I do not respect Cook, Sabato, Luntz and company, I do, I really do. Further, it is not that I am one of these rightwing idealogues who cannot see the proverbial forest for the trees.......or has too much selfish pride to admit the writing on ...

THE PARTISAN BLADE CUTS BOTH WAYS
2007-02-23 23:24:15 Pollsters John Zogby and Scott Rasmussen have both predicted that Democratic Senator Robert Menendez will defeat Republican Tom Kean jr in New Jersey's Senate race.There is almost nothing in the internal race numbers to support their conclusion.The horserace lead has changed 6 times and now, barely 3 weeks from election day, Menendez is polling a pathetic 42%. Even when 'leaners' are included, Menendez cannot reach 45%, much less 50. His unfavorable number is a bewildering 46%. The Senator's favorable/unfavorable ratio is -1 while Kean's stands at +8.An incumbent polling 8 points below even, with a favorable/unfavorable ratio 9 points worse than his challenger and disliked by half the voters in his state?Toast?Absolutely and without a shred of a doubt....... in an ordinary election.So, how is it that both Zogby and Rasmussen have counted Kean out and predicted Menendez the victor, even as their own numbers show this as one of the two closest Senate races in America?Why do the n...

NEW NETWORK TELEVISION TO ENJOY
2007-02-23 23:24:15 Here are a few new shows I've taken a great liking to - and I had grown to hate network television. The show that got me back on TV was Law & Order - all three versions. This year, after losing some ground to cable television, the networks are obviously fighting back. The best material is on NBC, but CBS has some good programs as well. ABC has to be the worst, and lately Fox seems to be trying to hard. The New CW? Please...STUDIO 60 ON THE SUNSET STRIPSupposedly, I have some live music photography on the walls of the set, but I have yet to run into them. I'm always getting distracted by the show itself! Matthew Perry is brilliant - he steals every scene he's in. I have truly enjoyed the pacing, the writing, the plot twists. For the NBC Studio 60 site, click here.HEROESGritty, raw, tough, interesting, suspenseful... this has got it all. Quite a show, I'm truly impressed. Great character and plenty of time to develop them all very well. A good cast, and great writing. Shocking at... More About: Television , Work , Enjoy , Network , Tele
HARRY REID IS GOING DOWN FAST
2007-02-23 23:24:15 Here we go - a big run down on what is available on the internet. The Associated Press, much to their credit, broke the story and Rush Limbaugh read it on Monday I believe. Democrats are NOT calling for Harry to step down, but they should. What do you bet they'll rally to his defense??"Reid , not Hastert, should step down; That?s the conclusion of A.J. Strata, who examines the complex maneuvers whereby Harry Reid walked away with a over a million dollar profit on a land deal, following government decisions which suddenly added enormous value to the property in question."--americanthinker.com"Reid got $1M for land he didn?t own By ASSOCIATED PRESS - October 11, 2006 WASHINGTON (AP) ? Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid collected a $1.1 million windfall on a Las Vegas land sale even though he hadn?t personally owned the property for three years, property deeds show. In the process, Reid did not disclose to Congress an earlier sale in which he transferred his land to a company created ... More About: Down , Fast

MORE PROOF THAT IT'S ALL COMING APART FOR THE DEMS
2007-02-23 23:24:15 from Rasmussen Reports.....President Bush Job Approval October 12, 2006 Photo Courtesy of whitehouse.gov Forty-four percent (44%) of Americans approve of the way that George W. Bush is performing his role as President. Fifty-five percent (55%) disapprove. These figures include 22% who Strongly Approve and 40% who Strongly Disapprove. Today?s Job Approval rating is the President?s highest in October. It remains to be seen whether this reflects significant change or is merely statistical noise. The Rasmussen Consumer Index, a daily measure of the economic confidence of consumers, reached its highest level in more than two years today. The Rasmussen Investor Index is at the highest level since January 2004.

BIG CHANGES IN STORE FOR YOUTUBE
More articles from this author:2007-02-23 23:24:15 From The Wall Street Journal & AOL Money and Finance:"According to the Wall Street Journal, billionaire Mark Cuban's assessment of the legal liabilities facing YouTube , and now Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG), could be spot on. Three media companies have aligned their interests as holders of video copyrights and their attorneys believe that YouTube could be on the hook for billions of dollars in infringement costs. [Emphasis A Newt One] News Corporation (NYSE:NWS), NBC Universal and Viacom, Inc. (NYSE:VIA) have come to the conclusion that each of their videos posted at YouTube could garner $150,000 in fees for distribution of copyrighted material. Viacom believes that video from its sites, including MTV, may be watched 80,000 times a day.Time Warner Inc. (NYSE: TWX) is looking at the same issues, but on its own and independent from the new, three-party group.But not so fast. YouTube is a platform.
