Everything's Awesome!

Peter Feld is awesome!

Who is Peter Feld? Hell if I know. But he must be awesome because he just wrote an awesome column!

Did McCain's lead in the polls terrify him? Is that why, when he had the chance to lock in his advantage, he branded himself instead as a desperate gambler and let Obama play the cool, collected leader?

A book about the 1988 election described how Michael Dukakis refused to respond to attacks, after taking a vacation that let him ponder his 17-point lead over George H.W. Bush. "Saying over and over that you were going to be president gave you a kind of runner's high; but when the cheering stopped, a certain hollow feeling set in, a sudden vertigo of the soul."

In 1992 Paul Tsongas also let his chances slip away. Revelations about Bill Clinton's womanizing and draft-dodging had propelled Tsongas to a 20-point lead in polls just before the New Hampshire primary. But Tsongas cut back his appearances as Clinton doubled his and cut the margin in half. Projected the winner, Tsongas let Clinton take the stage first to declare himself "the comeback kid" and lost his momentum.

Likewise, Al Gore could give rip-roaring speeches when nothing is at stake for him personally. But his inner demons took hold in 2000, when his three ridiculous debate performances against George W. Bush cost him the presidency.

McAwesome a choke dog?

AWESOME!!!!

Awesome Correlating Trend Lines!

noreply@blogger.com (Awesome Happy Fun Guy!) — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 21:05:00 +0000

Slublog, who as all of you who read AoSHQ know is awesome, put the following graph together.

He thought it would make an awesome addition to this awesome blog. So he sent it my way. He's awesome like that.

The red line indicates John McAwesome's poll numbers. The blue line represents Senator Obawesome's poll numbers. The black line represents the Dow Jones average.

As the New York Times would never say: Obawesome gains ground; black lines and elderly Senators (who are awesome) hardest hit.

Trend lines are awesome. Even when they don't seem to correlate. But more awesome when they do.

The A in ACORN stands for AWESOME

noreply@blogger.com (Awesome Happy Fun Guy!) — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 00:49:00 +0000

Everybody agrees that voting is awesome.

Some people, like ACORN, thinks voting is so awesome they want everyone to do it more than once! Dead, Alive, or member of the Dallas Cowboys, they might have registered you to vote in a battleground state.

Which is awesome. Because with all these registered voters how can McCain/Palin lose after last night's display of virtuoso debate awesomeness?

The awesome thing about this poll?

McCain has 43%.

Which, if you watched the debate, you have to admit is an awesome result.

Krauthammer just said McCain won the debate on Brit Hume's show.

Awesome Poll Numbers for McCain!!!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Awesome Happy Fun Guy!) — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 20:37:00 +0000

It's like a basketball game. All you want to do is cut the lead to 10 or less and awesome things can happen.

Awesome!

Debates are AWESOME

noreply@blogger.com (Awesome Happy Fun Guy!) — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 15:35:00 +0000

In fact, they are so awesome, I think I can grade the performances right now even though they aren't going to happen for another 12 hours or so.

For reference, I will use these happy puppies as a focus group. Aren't puppies awesome?

Now you will notice that there are 6 awesomely cute puppies here. So my scale will goto 6.

The number of puppies who think John McCain is awesome? 2

The number of puppies who think Obama is awesome? 0

The number of puppies who think sniffing other puppies butts is awesome? 4

The number of puppies who would rather be John McCain's best friend? 3

The number of puppies who would rather be Barack Obama's best friend? 0

The number of puppies who would rather be chasing squirrels? 3

The number of puppies who think John McCain would be a good owner? 2

The number of puppies who think Barack Obama would be a good owner? 1

The number of puppies who think Barack Obama is a radical leftist associated with domestic terrorists? 3

The number of puppies who supported John McCain's stance against mandatory neutering? 4

The number of puppies who support Barack Obama's stance in favor of mandatory neutering? 0

The number of puppies who are just happy that Barack Obama didn't pass a bill allowing Veterinarians to place them in burlap sacks and throw them in the river after their birth? 6

So you can see from the above focus group that puppies are both: A) Awesome and B) Supporting McCain/Palin.

Puppies rule and are awesome.

Unless they are French Poodle puppies. Who are awesome, but definitely don't rule.
