For someone who does not like horserace poll coverage, I seem to be writing about them today.  Had I seen the ABC News/WaPo poll last night, I could have included it in my post on the NYT/CBS poll, but there are some nuggests to be gleaned here beyond the horserace. HotAir’s Ed Morrissey notes the Democratic skew in the sample, but the 13%-14% gap is not much more than the 8.5

‘Stop telling niggers what to do.’ Hoo boy! I’m not getting involved in this! Nosiree! UPDATE: I’m anticipating outrage about this later from the usual quarters after Dr. Caric runs off to leftyland to squeal, so I’ll just note that I don’t put quotation marks around it, and that if you have a problem with this you might go get a look at this.

Love this lede: A 33-year-old Michigan man is accused of wearing a “World’s Greatest Dad” shirt to a meeting for sex with what he thought was a 14-year-old girl. Well, that . . . that is rather awful . . . I suppose. h/t Hot Air Headlines

TPM’s Greg Sargent reports that Barack Obama’s campaign is miffed with The New York Times this morning over the paper’s analysis of its own poll, complaining that the analysis overlooks much of the poll data that suggests Obama is doing pretty well with white voters. Given that I wrote much the same early this morning, I obviously agree with the Obama campaign’s argument.  However, the fact that the Obama campaign is going after

Men are likely to give in to the temptations of a beautiful woman while women work hard to resist the charms of a handsome man, a new study claims. The research found that even men who say they are committed to their wives and girlfriends are vulnerable to the advances of a flirt. By contrast, women naturally see attractive single men as a potential danger and are less receptive to

David has a rather more perspicacious critique than mine from yesterday evening, which you can find here.

The analysis piece accompanying the latest New York Times/CBS News election poll — taken in conjunction with the questionnaire – is fairly obvious about the angle the Grey Lady intended to pursue from the outset: Americans are sharply divided by race heading into the first election in which an African-American will be a major-party presidential nominee, with blacks and whites holding vastly different views of Senator Barack Obama, the state of race relations

LGF’s Charles Johnson is supporting an effort to have Townhall.com disassociate itself from a recent Pat Buchanan column asserting that “Israel and its Fifth Column in this city seek to stampede us into war with Iran.”   The Anti-Idiotarian Rotweiler, and doubleplusundead are joining LGF in purging Townhall.com from their lists of news sources, over that column and another suggesting that the Holocaust — like WWII — was ultimately the fault of the West, particularly Britain.  This is also

What a boob: I always wanted to be fluent in another language. I studied Spanish in school, passed my HS Regents exam back in the day, but never got it down. I never learned Italian because of the racism that my grandparents faced when they came to the US in 1915. Studying a new language in school actually helps a person “think” better as far as I’m concerned. Maybe that’s
