MoveOn.org buys Ad Space on Facebook

Fox New's has reported that "Move-on" has paid for advertising space on the web site Facebook. It seems that [Move-on]doesn't have to be identified as the one's behind the link that will direct you to a "negitive ad" placed on Facebook. (let me guess who they will be about!)

No wonder Move-on is ready to play dirty.

Surge in New York

Sen. John McCain "has experienced a surge of support among women in heavily Democratic New York state," the New York Post's Fredric U. Dicker writes.

"The internal Republican and Democratic polls, details of which were provided to the Post, have stunned members of both parties — and produced deep worries among Democrats," Mr. Dicker said.

"One great concern for Democrats is that the data show a continuous movement toward the McCain-Palin ticket by women, a majority of whom traditionally favor Democrats.(Hmmmmm.....)

"The movement by women toward McCain is being credited to Democratic attacks on Alaska Gov. Palin, last week's 'lipstick on a pig' crack by Obama and to the continuing unhappiness by female Democrats over Obama's failure to pick Hillary R. Clinton as his running mate.

"'If it winds up being tight in New York, that means McCain wins the election nationally,' said a prominent Democrat familiar with some of the polling data. "A prominent Republican familiar with the results said, 'It really is something, because we just assumed Obama would carry such a heavily Democratic state like New York with no difficulty.'" (watch out! New Jersey is looking quite purple too!)

New battlegrounds

"After all the speculation of Democrats' expanded playing field this year, a new poll suggests John McCain may be the one making inroads," reporter Stephen Dinan writes in a blog at www.washingtontimes.com.

"A Quinnipiac University Poll of New Jersey voters puts McCain within three percentage points of Barack Obama, trailing 48-45. A month ago, the same poll showed McCain trailing 51-41," Mr. Dinan said.

"Now it's not likely McCain wins New Jersey, just as it's not likely Obama wins Virginia. And the two states are a good comparison — both are quadrennial teases that never turn into the battle pundits think they should. For example, in 2004 late-season polling showed President Bush competitive with John Kerry in New Jersey, but in the end Kerry won the state 53-46.

"Still, that margin was closer than the nine percentage-point victory Bush won in Virginia — a state that, once again, Democrats and some pundits put in the toss-up category."

The trucker vote

"If you've got a nice blue and white 'Obama for President' sticker on the back of your Toyota Prius and a big 18-wheel rig starts riding your butt, it might be best to let him by, because it's very likely that the driver isn't on your political team," Paul Bedard writes in the Washington Whispers column at www.usnews.com.

"It's an unofficial poll, but a site for truckers finds that Sen. John McCain is the industry's fave over Sen. Barack Obama, 67 to 27 percent."
