1948 Truman-Dewey Election

The upset win of Harry Truman over Thomas E. Dewey in the 1948 election came after leading publications had confidently predicted Dewey's victory (e.g. New York Times headine: “Thomas E. Dewey’s Election as President is a Foregone Conclusion.”; Life Magazine: cover with Dewey's picture and caption reading, “The Next President of the United States"). Even on election night, the media still had difficulty accepting the fact that Truman could win.

Truman's 4.4 percentage point election margin contrasted with the pre-election polls predicting a Dewey victory ranging between 5 to 15 percentage points.

Ironically, the polls themselves may have helped Truman's late surge to overcome Dewey when press reports of their surveys showing Dewey ahead energized the Democrats to mount late efforts to increase turnout, and made the Republicans over-confident of any need to get their own voters to the polls.

Long-shot races closing the gap as Repubs slip

clipper's remarks: Surprises in WV GA, KY:
West Virginia - the 2nd closest race in the nation, McCain up only 1.1 points!
Kentucky: incumbent Senate Repub Leader Mitch McConnell now has less than 50% of the vote
Georgia: Repub Saxby Chambliss up by less than two

Clip Source: sage

the data above suggest continued progress for the Obama-Biden ticket following Tuesday night's debate.

Meanwhile, things have shifted a bit in races for the Senate. A series of new surveys released over the last few days confirm a significant narrowing in Georgia, which we now classify as a toss-up. Republican Saxby Chambliss now leads Democratic challenger Jim Martin on our trend estimate by less than two percentage points (45.3% to 43.5%).

And in Kentucky, internal polls released by both campaigns disagree on the margin, but agree that incumbent Republican Mitch McConnell is winning less than 50% of the vote (48% on the poll from the Democrats, 47% on the poll by Republicans). Our trend estimate still gives McConnell enough of a lead (48.2% to 42.6%) to rate "lean" Republican status.

Palin abused powers

Body blow for McCain as Palin found to have abused powers

John McCain's election campaign last night suffered the body blow which Republicans had been bracing themselves for when his vice-presidential candidate, Sarah Palin, was found to have abused her powers in pursuit of a personal feud with her former brother-in-law.

At the end of the 10-week investigation into the so-called Troopergate affair, Palin was found to have breached the ethics rules which govern her conduct as governor of Alaska. The findings, delivered by an investigator who had been hired by the Alaskan state legislature before she was picked as McCain's running mate, are certain to lead to questions over his judgment, and to queries and challenges as to her suitability for national office.

With McCain struggling to overtake Barack Obama in the polls, however, and less than four weeks before the election, the report's findings could barely have been worse for the Republicans.

Why polls are underestimating Obama's chances

Sat, 11 Oct 2008 12:23:43 GMT

clipped by: jklugman
clipper's remarks: Ezra Klein posts correspondence with Princeton political scientist Larry Bartels about why current polls are underestimating the support Obama will receive in the election.

Clip Source: www.prospect.org

First, there is a fairly strong tendency for late shifts in preferences to favor the incumbent party when the economy is strong and the out-party when the economy is weak; that makes Sen. Obama's position stronger than it looks in current polls.

Second,

given the pattern of new registrations and the apparent strength of the two campaigns' voter mobilization efforts, Sen. Obama seems more likely to benefit than to lose support from unexpected turnout.

Third, the possibility that undecided white voters may, in the end, be unable to bring themselves to vote for Sen. Obama on racial grounds makes his position somewhat more precarious than it would otherwise be. It is very difficult to estimate the importance of the racial factor (that is, the extent to which racial antipathy is not already reflected in current polls), but my guess is that this is less important than the other two factors, both of which seem likely to work in Sen. Obama's favor.

Big Surprise (not!): Harper Lied

Harper recording in Cadman affair intact: expert

Conservative Leader Stephen Harper's contention that a tape recording was doctored to implicate him in a bribery scandal involving the late MP Chuck Cadman was contradicted Friday by the very specialist Harper hired to analyze the tape.

A judge ordered an inspection of the tape after Harper launched a $3.5-million libel suit against the Liberal Party of Canada.

However, audio expert Bruce Koenig, a former FBI agent who was hired by the Harper team to check the tape, filed a report on Friday which contradicts Harper's court testimony and finds that the key section of the tape contains no splices, edits or alterations.

Obama on Credit Crunch of Small Businesses

clipper's remarks: McCain is inept, inefficient and flares in anger when a fresh view is opened.
His lack of control over his anger would surely push usa and world to the 'brink'.
If he is elected Americans would commit the crime of 21st Century.

Clip Source: www.reuters.com

Illinois Sen. Obama, in Ohio, called for a plan to help small businesses hampered by the U.S. credit crunch to get the loans they need for operating expenses and payrolls.

"In this global economy, financial markets have no boundaries. So the current crisis demands a global response," said Obama, who leads McCain in opinion polls with 25 days until the election.

A day after McCain brought up Obama's ties to former left-wing radical William Ayers, Obama accused the McCain camp of launching "a barrage of nasty insinuations and attacks" and said he expected more in the days ahead

Connecticut Legalizes Same-Sex Marriage

Connecticut) Connecticut’s Supreme Court ruled Friday that gay couples have the right to marry, making the state the third behind Massachusetts and California to legalize such unions through the courts.

The ruling comes just weeks before Californians go to the polls on a historic gay-marriage ballot question, the first time the issue will be put before voters.

Connecticut’s court ruled 4-3 that gay and lesbian couples cannot be denied the freedom to marry under the state constitution. It was a logical next step for a state that was the first to voluntarily pass laws affirming and protecting civil unions.

"Interpreting our state constitutional provisions in accordance with firmly established equal protection principles leads inevitably to the conclusion that gay persons are entitled to marry the otherwise qualified same sex partner of their choice," Justice Richard N. Palmer wrote in the majority opinion that overturned a lower court finding.
