The map gets redder.

We haven’t had much of an opportunity to update the Electoral College maps. It certainly appears that the maps are getting redder.

First, the Democrat website we link to left (
Electoral-vote.com) shows a very close Electoral College count. EVC uses the most recent poll to evaluate a state. We have been using EVC as a resource since 2004 and it was pretty accurate last time around.

Second, we checked in with Real Clear Politics. Real Clear uses a rolling average to assign Electoral College votes. Using a consistent methodology of excluding anything but mathematical ties from the toss up category the
Real Clear rolling map now gives McCain an Electoral College majority for the first time since the primaries ended.

Jolly good we say. Jolly good.

More people know who Shawn Johnson and Michael Phelps are than John McCain and Barrack Obama at this point. Check back in mid-Sept when normal people actually start thinking about the election.

Funny, that's not what you libs were saying back when Obama was "the one for whom we've all been waiting".

Yes, the democrats are having multiple orgasms over Barack "it's above my pay grade" Odummy. I think I heard Nancy Pelosi have one live on national TV.

I've been wondering how Michael Jackson has been making a living of late considering he's in debt to the tune of millions.

Is Bary "oh oh oh" Bama paying royalties to him for his song "We are the World"? Obama is using the lyrics as his campaign plan.

It's the 80's baby - where is my....O-Kaine?

If Oby uses Hillary's model and Kaine is his Co-President, will he be called CoKaine?

YESTERDAY I HEARD SOME RADIO TALKSHOW HOST SAYING THAT MCCAIN MAY HAVE IN MIND A GUY FOR VP WHO IS PROCHOICE. HE SAID THE REPUBLICANS WERE THREATENING. AS A DEM WHO HAS SEEN THE GOOD CHOICES FOR A DEM PRES VANISH AND IS NOW FACED WITH THE CHOICE OF A DEM CANDIDATE WHO IS UNEXCEPTABLE AND A REPUBLICAN WHO SEEMS A LITTLE BETTER I ASK " IS IT BETTER TO HAVE A VP WHO WILL NOT TURN ME AWAY OR ONE WHO WILL NOT TO REPUBLICANS AWAY?" AFTER ALL WHO ARE THE REPUBLICANS GOING TO VOTE FOR IF THEY DON'T LIKE MCCAIN'S VP CHOICE- OBAMA?

The leadership of the Iowa delegation to the RNC convention should think about the actions you have taken today.

Between now and November 4th we elect Republicans.

On the 5th of November you and your supporters will be hung in the court of public opinion like the traitorous bastards you are.

Im not waiting for November. I am no longer voting for non-conservative Republicans.

I actually went door to door in Ames for Bob Barr and it looks pretty wide open, lots of conservative minded people that will not vote for McCain.

I hope you get a chance to check out Bob Barr's site...

Our raison d'ĂȘtre here at TRS

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.” John Stuart Mill

We at The Real Sporer believe that the crises of our generation is the preservation of a United States of America based on fundamental rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Oddly enough, our generation, that grew in the quiet and secure 50s, 60s and 70s and thought we could escape history now find ourselves at the cross roads of history. At a time when the prevailing media, academic and even now industrial elites find the easy road of paternalistic socialist totalitarianism more expedient to travel we are convinced that only preserving the more traditional America will better provide the well known blessings of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness to us and our posterity.

In the real world, the Republican freedom agenda is the only alternative to the thought police and rations commissar of the socialist nanny state. But the agenda that we share with the founding generation, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, will never again prevail if we don't fight our generation's battle to renew America's commitment to freedom with our socialist adversaries.

Our mission statement is therefore clear: provide the information and argument that leads to a Republican Renaissance and Republican governance.
