Is this a taste of things to come for Barack?
The presumptive GOP nominee, John McCain, is seeking to put pressure on his party in North Carolina to try to get this commercial withdrawn. We’ll see. Mike Smithson
Should there be a definition of a “rogue pollster”?
“A rogue pollster is one that produces figures that you don’t agree with – the degree of rogueness at any one time being directly proportional to your view of a recent survey or group of surveys.”
So what will Dave kick off with today?
Tax/budget seems the obvious choice – but will it be? So it’s back to the the regular Wednesday PMQ clash between Dave and Gord in the commons. It seems ages since they last faced each other and it’s good that Ladbrokes are continuing with their weekly betting market. Having failed miserably to guess on previous occasions I am reluctant to make a suggestion. From Cameron ‘s perspective this is all about tactics and wrong-footing the Prime Minister. What seems so…
So the Hillary campaign still stands
Picture DaveMundy Is it down now to whether she can keep raising the money? Whether you agree with her or not you have to admire the sheer guts and determination of Hillary to stick in this race.

A consensus seems to be emerging that if Obama…
Could Raith Rovers upset the Brown by election bet?
