Rasmussen Reports Ohio Gain For McCain
Earlier this week, Rasmussen polling showed Sen. Obama with a 2 point lead in Ohio. This morning, they’re showing a tied race in Ohio at 49-49. That’s the good news. The bad news is that the Supreme Court essentially ruled that there will be massive, pro-Democrat voter fraud in Ohio:
The Supreme Court is siding with Ohio’s top elections official in a dispute with the state Republican Party over voter registrations. The justices on Friday overruled a federal appeals court that had ordered Ohio’s top elections official to do more to help counties verify voter eligibility.
Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, a Democrat, faced a deadline of Friday to set up a system to provide local officials with names of newly registered voters whose driver’s license numbers or Social Security numbers on voter registration forms don’t match records in other government databases.
Ohio Republicans contended the information for counties would help prevent fraud. Brunner said the GOP is trying to disenfranchise voters.
Ms. Brunner’s actions are only slightly more disheartening than the Supreme Court’s actions. It isn’t a stretch to say that an Obama administration will drift further towards SCOTUS-sanctioned voter fraud now that this decision has been handed down.
It’s now time for today’s good news:
Barack Obama and John McCain are now all tied up at 49% each in the battleground state of Ohio, according to the latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey. A Fox News/Rasmussen Reports telephone poll conducted a few days earlier showed Obama leading McCain 49% to 47% in Ohio.
Despite the best efforts of the Obama campaign and their allies in the swooning media, this race isn’t over, especially now that the swooning media has declared open season on Joe the Plumber. They’re going after him with unprecedented ferocity. The swooning media was indifferent to Sen. Obama’s ties with Tony Rezko, ACORN and Bill Ayers. Contrast that with their total dissection of Joe the Plumber’s life within 24 hours.
This points to two things: (a) that the swooning media’s hatred for capitalism is as intense as Sen. Obama’s hatred is and (b) the swooning media’s selective indifference to Sen. Obama’s ties to organized corruption has helped him escape serious scrutiny.
It’s time that we stopped the false hope and change express. Sen. Obama has made clear that he’s a proponent of the Fairness Doctrine, which silences our voices. We know that the swooning media hates capitalism because of their hateful actions towards Joe the Plumber. Based on Team Barry’s criticism of Joe, it’s pretty obvious that they aren’t pro-capitalist either:
“But, Joe the Plumber…I know you got a lot of plumbers out here making over 250,000 grand,” he said to supporters. “Raise your hands, please.”
At that point, a young man raised his hand, which appeared to be in jest. “There’s a man,” said Biden. “Go borrow money from him, the guy in the green shirt. He makes more than two-fifty. He looks like he’s only 18 years old…which means he earned it the hard way. He inherited it.”
Here’s how Team McCain responded:
McCain spokesperson Ben Porritt fired off an email to press members at the comments, saying “Joe the Senator continued his angry campaign today fresh from his performance attacking Joe the Plumber on national television last night.”

With all due respect, the Court is ruling the only way it should here. HAVA does not allow for private cause intervention. Were not talking fraudulent voting, but fraudulent voter registration.
It one thing to register, and something else to vote. Given the average general intelligence involved, the biggest challenge is to get them all to read and blacken the right dot! Remember these are potential Democrats.
