    Emails or bad votes?

    Obama has been the subject of attacks and emails for a long time now, but his plunge in popularity started after his horrible FISA vote and gets worse every time he moves to the center. It is hard to be very excited about Obama these days.

    For those who say that Obama's move to the center was some wise ploy to get votes that progressives are too narrow minded to understand, I have to point to him falling behind McCain as proof that moving to the center was a bad idea.
