Fenty's Plea

DC Mayor Adrian Fenty is robocalling his city's voters asking that they turn out tomorrow for Barack Obama.

"Imagine a president who puts principle ahead of polls," he says in the call.

"Imagine a president who puts principle ahead of polls," he says in the call.

Ladies and gentlemen, the comedy stylings of DC Mayor Adrian Fenty.

Obama has spent more on polling than Clinton.

According to year-end research tabulated by the Center for Responsive Politics, Obama has spent more than $2.55 million so far in the campaign on "Polling/Surveys/Research," six hundred thousand dollars more than Clinton's $1.92 million.

So then how is it he gets away saying stuff like this?

"Poll-tested positions, calculated answers might be how Washington confronts challenges, but it's not how you overcome those challenges; it's not how you inspire our nation to come together behind a common purpose, and it's not what America needs right now.... "You need a candidate who will tell you the truth."

Anyone? Bueller?

I guess the truth is flexible to Barack Obama.
