Great blog! I didn't know they allowed non-libs in Jersey. I added you to my blog role.
Let's see....this poll was conducted in Menlo Park? That wouldn't be somewhere in the vicinity of Berkeley or San Francisco would it? Seems so.
Anyone with half a brain knows how easily a poll can be skewed to get a certain result. You may as well take a poll in an alcohol recovery unit and see if anyone has ever had a drink.
Now, does Barack Obama have the stones to cite this poll during his foreign policy debate with John McCain Friday?
He won't have to. The "moderator" will cite a "poll released this week" that show Americans luv Obama's foreign policy, etc., etc., etc.
Well, if they do that we'll know the fix is in. And I'll have something to follow up with.
I hate to agree with any of the Obambi-luvin' but we should really open up with Cuba. A few McDonalds, a truck-load of cell phones and car parts, we'd own the place in a decade.
Good grief.
It's that obvious?
OK, rhetorical question time- did anyone in the MSM ever ask these questions?
Nobody asked or even attempted to make a connection. Google that poll and the organizations and you'll see it was picked up by numerous news outlets and not a single one I went through questioned it.
It was an especially useful piece of propaganda overseas, particularly in the Iranian media.
Does anyone else have the idea that the MSM has fed O's campaign the questions for Friday so he can bone up on his answers?
And I just try to avoid reading most polls. This is just one more example of bias. 
The fact is that we do talk to these countries through back channels. We just don't have open diplomatic relations. So should we talk to these countries? Yes, and we are doing so. Should we meet without preconditions as Obama has said? No.
Menlo Park is a very affluent city of white-bread and mayonnaise millionaires, and is basically the economic and social twin of Palo Alto on the other side of Stanford University. While the housing bubble has affected much of the US it has had little impact here, or on Menlo Park, a city with a median house-price of $1.65 Million.
Ken Kesey dropped acid at the Menlo Park VA Hospital before writing "One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest." The millionaire founder of "PC Magazine" who was an SDS leader in the 60's lives in Menlo Park. This area is where millionaire activist Leftists live and '60s counterculture is alive and well here. It is Obamatown.
There is a LOT LOT LOT of bigtime White Liberal Guilt and many very wealthy activist Lefties live here - and each city (MP and PA) also has another poor-relation twin to the east of the freeway - which is quite literally The Other Side of The Tracks. They don't like to talk about it. East Menlo Park is demographically almost exactly like East Palo Alto, with a mainly Black population as a result of some very shifty "Realtor Enhanced Social Engineering" that occurred in the early 60's - and the residents of both east-side cities mainly use the Emergency ward at Stanford Hospital as their HMO and Primary Healthcare Facility. The crime rate is much higher and the opportunities fewer, and the jobs are elsewhere, so EMP and EPA residents provide the menial services jobs for the rest of the Peninsula.
Nobody likes to talk about it, or if they do they talk a lot about Social Justice and stuff while driving their Lexuses and Mercedeeses with "Obama" stickers.
Suuuure, the Chicago poll would be biased...IF IT WASNT SO CLOSE TO OTHER POLLS SHOWING THE same thing. Wake up people, this election is about judgement and temperment. Obama can gain experience, McPalin cant undo rash, childish behaviors...we've lived through 7+ years of being "lead" by a child.
Sen Widestance:
"...we've lived through 7+ years of being "lead" by a child."
And you presume that being led by a radical whose connections with Black Liberation Theology are well documented would be better?
As for this poll, if a question is asked about it at the debates, it would be so refreshing to hear a response that began with:
"Well, first of all I reject the underlying premise of your question. And secondly, if you in the media had been doing your jobs, you would have found out that the poll was released by a biased group with Michelle Obama on its board, and conducted by a firm whose executives donate exclusively to democrats."
Lasty, why does a medical center need a $350,000/yr "Vice President for Community and External Affairs" anyway, especially one who spends a good deal of her working hours doing political stumping for her husband? Is that position sort of like a "community organizer" but with even less responsibilities?
Unfortunately, this election has become one between the individual and the MSM, not the issues, candidates or parties.
It doesn't matter which party is the benefactor, it is anti-democratic.
They must be defeated or party propaganda will become institutionalized and the First Amendment meaningless.
Cite them, Widestance. Or am I just supposed to take your word because, after all you are the paradigm of truthfulness and integrity . . .
Couldn't cite any? No surprise.
Obama can gain experience, McPalin cant undo rash, childish behaviors
So you're admitting that Obama lacks the experience necessary to be President and will have to learn it as he goes.
Funny, you had a screaming fit claiming that Palin needed to be ready to go on day one in order to be Vice President.
Explain to us again this Democrat mentality: the Vice President needs to have experience in advance, but their superior, the President, can learn it as they go?
This is the attitude of a political party that is used to promoting incompetent hacks over other people.
Sort of like how Bill Ayers promoted and pushed Obama as his willing puppet and public face to avoid being called out for his support of terrorism and his belief that the children of his ideological adversaries should be burned to death in their firebombed houses.
"we've lived through 7+ years of being "lead" by a child."
I'm not really sure which child has been leading you, but whoever that child is, it shows in the Left's reaction to the Palin pick. Childish. At least now I know your excuse.
"We are the fussy child we were waiting for!"
The margin of error is between plus or minus 3.7 percent and plus or minus 2.5 percent.
what is that? a margin of error on the margin of error? are they saying that the poll cannot be exact because the error must be at least 2.5% and at most 3.7%? why not just say it's +/- 3.7% and assume that includes that 2.5%...
Heh. Took me all of three minutes to figure this one out, but Knowledge Networks was aquired by a company called Austin Chalk Oil Gas Ltd, who in turn is owned in large part by the Washinton Post and Intrepid Capital.
Who owns Intrepid Capital you ask? One George Soros of course.
Someone please check my work, but that is where the 13F filings lead.
I wrote about this six years ago in Announcing NPRPS: The National Press-Release Publication Service: "Americans at large are told what others are told to tell them, true or false. This is worse than being blindfolded: it is being fitted with blinders, thinking they are eye glasses."

Sen Widestance
Absent links, I conclude that your assertion about "other polls" is unsubstantiated and therefore meaningless.
Regarding judgment, if Obama couldn't exercise the minimal judgment necessary to avoid close associations with people like Ayers, Rezko and Wright, how is he an example of good judgment? Similarly, how is it good judgment to avoid passing judgment on anything, re: Obama's large number of "present" votes?
Regarding temperament, how do the candidates differ in this and why is it relevant?
Regarding "Obama will gain experience": How is it preferable to elect a President who will need to learn on the job?
Regarding past "rash, childish behaviors," please name some and why they cannot be undone. Oh, I forgot, you're a troll. Trolls don't make a habit of elaboration.
Regarding being "lead by a child," I agree that Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid et al. have not been very good for the Democratic Party over the last 8 years. You obviously can't be referring to Bush, since he's the evil criminal mastermind who stole the 2000 and '04 elections and fooled the world into thinking invading Iraq was a good idea. Oh, wait, wrong far left meme.
