Good news

(Real Clear Politics) Republicans are no longer underdogs in the race for the White House. To pull that off, John McCain has attracted disgruntled GOP voters, independents and even some moderate Democrats who shunned his party last fall.

Partly thanks to an increasingly likable image, the Republican presidential candidate has pulled even with the two Democrats still brawling for their party’s nomination, according to an Associated Press-Yahoo news poll released Thursday. Just five months ago — before either party had winnowed its field — the survey showed people preferred sending an unnamed Democrat over a Republican to the White House by 13 percentage points.

Personally, I think this trend will continue, regardless of whether the candidate from the Jackass Party is Obama or Hillary. I doubt that the out come will be all that different from 2000 or 2004 in terms of electoral votes, due to the polarization of politics, but McCain will continue to advance and be the better candidate for those who are interested in sanity and do not subscribe to turning themselves into 5 years.

Meanwhile, the left is going utterly insane over last nights debates, such as at the Huffington Post. Scroll through this thread at Memeorandum and see for yourself. Wish I had time to go through all the insanity, because it always amuses me to no end.
