All the Other Pols with the Pumped up Polls....


Here's Real Clear Politics' national poll tracking graph for the past year, showing Romney (purple) & Ron Paul (yellow) the steadiest. Beginning in June, when the campaign & debates picked up, you see one by one the various "flavors of the month" (or about 6 weeks) peaking -- Bachman (black), Perry (blue), Cain (red), Gingrich (green). Gingrich already peaked and falling. Brown is Santorum, pink Huntsman.

Romney's picked up a couple key endorsements in early primary states -- the Des Moines (Iowa) Register, and Gov. Nikki Haley of S. Carolina (a Tea Party favorite).

I'll repeat my little home-made ode that's appropriate here (goes to the tune of "Pumped up Kicks"):

All the other pols with the pumped up polls,
Better run, better run -- outrun Team Romney.

All the other pols with the pumped up polls,
Better run, better run -- faster than Mitt Romney.

A 2-peat after the 2010 midterms. The GOP picked up at least 8 Senate seats for a solid majority, and possibly more with the Louisiana runoff. Time to celebrate the end of Reid's 6-year Senate reign, and the end of Congressional gridlock! Also, the GOP picked up 6 governorships (more presidential options), for a solid 2/3 of states -- including some fairly blue states -- good riddance to Crist in Florida.  And the House of Representatives party map turned overwhelmingly red (see bel...

Why Scientists Disagree About Global Warming

Image
I was recently reminded of the climate debate when seeing a trailer for Al Gore’s sequel to his alarmist climate movie, and shouts in the theater both against & for. We continue to hear that “97 percent of scientists agree” on the causes & consequences of climate change -- that recent and projected climate change is significantly man-made and dangerous.  Many or most uninformed people probably take these loud voices at face value, without digging deeper as to the validity of that figure, and in the face of vague statements, asking where exactly consensus lies.  And assume they must either agree with the worst case projections and proscribed policies or be branded science deniers.  “…the climate science establishment has become intolerant to disagreement and debate, and is attempting to marginalize and de-legitimize dissent as corrupt or ignorant.”  This has the intended result of "herding" -- among the general public, but also to some extent among...
