Rasmussen: Right Still Rising

The beginning of the end for Kerry? Or just a bit of statistical noise and evanscent nostalgia for Reagan?

Hard to say. But Bush maintains his three point lead over Kerry for a second day, sees his job approval rise to a stratospheric 53% (well, okay, not stratospheric, but high compared to a month ago), and Republicans rise to 39% on the generic congressional question.

I don't think it's just Reagan nostalgia, although that might be part of it. I just don't think must reasonable people can stomach the idea of a President Kerry, especially when we're at war. He would pretty much guarantee that we would start running our international affairs through the UN. As bad as it gets for Bush in the polls, Kerry never really seems to reap a benefit.

I think Reagan nostalgia is part of it. But Reagan's death might have also sharpened the contrast between W. and Kerry ever so much more.

Kerry's voting record in the last 24 years stands in even starker relief now. And that is something the Kerry Kamp is really wishing they could continue to gloss over.

Too bad.

I have to admit I've been smiling to myself over this turn of events all weekend.

The media, as evidenced by front page articles in our local fishwrap, has already begun to deconstruct the Reagan presidency and play down the positive effects of the coverage of his national farewell. I picked up the paper this morning and said to my wife, "Well, that didn't take long."

Terrorist-aligned AP: "Reporter describes shock at witnessing East Wing's demolition"
White House press corps: "SO TRUMP CAN DEMOLISH ANYTHING HE WANTS TO?!?!"
Yes. Thank you for acknowledging that.
The Democrats are so attached to the East Wing and such pro-American history buffs that they... used a photo of Buckingham Palace and claimed it was the East Wing of the White House

How it's going: How 'Big Tent' Are Democrats Willing to Go? Many in the party say it needs a wider range of candidates to run. Does that include people with Nazi tattoos?

Senator Martin Heinrich of New Mexico said, "Graham has made a lot of mistakes in his life. He's had a very long journey to the place where he is today, but he's owned those mistakes, owned up to them, and he's evolved." Khanna called the tattoo "horrendous," but said: "Do we want our political governing class to be like the classmates I had at Yale Law School, some of them who dreamed of being president of the United States from the age of twelve?" He continued, "Or do we want normal people also having a chance at these offices?"

Link to Ed Driscoll's post here
Black Conservative Perspective says there's a "Woke Civil War" going on in the left over this Nazi, with Race Marxists -- mostly black -- absolutely determined to cancel him, while the straight-up Communists -- mostly white rich-bitch nepo babies -- are fighting like hell for him. As many have noted: Communists are always willing to make a tactical alliance with Nazis. (And, of course, Communists are just totalitarian socialists with an internationalist foreign policy, while Nazis are totalitarian socialists with a nationalist foreign policy. They're two anti-human peas in a pod.)
The white communists are fighting hard for this guy because he is an open, avowed communist, and they think his completely-fake "normal blue-collar guy" persona can be used to do what they cannot do, sell communism to the working class.
