> As of my writing, Page 1 of the Pit is now showing about 10 threads that are anti-McCain or anti-Palin, vs. only 1, I think, that is anti-Obama. GD is running along similar lines. If there’s a rightward lurch, it’s not showing up in the number of threads.

This board tilts left worse than the Tower of Pisa. The fact that there is even one thread that speaks ill of Hopey-Hopey-Change-Change is what they are calling a surge.
