Obama's unfavorables approach Clinton's

Rasmussen Reports:

...

Looking ahead to the General Election in November, John McCain continues to lead both potential Democratic opponents. McCain leads Barack Obama 49% to 41% and Hillary Clinton 50% to 42% (see recent daily results). New polling shows McCain leading both Democrats in Georgia and Arkansas. In Minnesota, the race is very close.

On Sunday, McCain is viewed favorably by 54% of voters nationwide and unfavorably by 42%. Obama’s reviews are 47% favorable and 51% unfavorable. For Clinton, those numbers are 42% favorable, 55% unfavorable (see recent daily results). (Emphasis added.)

The Rasmussen Reports Balance of Power Calculator shows Democrats leading in states with 200 Electoral Votes while the GOP has the advantage in states with 189. When “leaners” are added, the Democrats lead 247 to 229. Over the past month, McCain has gained ground in Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota, Colorado, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania. Both Democrats continue to lead in New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut and California (see summary of recent state general election polling).

...

The power calculations show that McCain still has a lot of work to do to overcome the Democrats' advantage at this point, but that with their unfavorables, he has some material to work with if he will only do so. It will probably be up to independent bloggers and conservative media to continue to drive up Obama's negatives, although Rev. Wright has been doing a boffo job of it lately.

Wright has been strangely silent since the controversy over his remarks hit the nightly news and TouTube. I think he will eventually resurface and be asked to defend his hate speech and blood libels of the US. That will probably extend the controversy.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
