Democrats ruling the universe!
From Political State Report, the dkos cousin spin-off that never quite seems to get its act together:
Congressman Ted Strickland, the Democratic nominee for governor, holds a 16-digit lead over Secretary of State Ken Blackwell, the Republican nominee for governor. The current spread, according to Rasmussen Reports, is 52% to 36% in favor of Strickland.
52% to 36% is a 16-point lead. Just as a "six-digit salary" is over $100,000, a "16-digit lead" would be one of at least one quadrillion percentage points.
I knew the GOP was in trouble, but golly!
Update: The owner of Political State Report, Temple Stark, found the trackback even though this had not made it to the front page yet (an error on my part), and wants it known that PolState has had nothing to do with Daily Kos since 2003, when Temple Start took over the site. I don't dispute any of that, but it's more than "Markos once owned the site for a total of about 8 months." Kos thought up the idea and started the site. The two sites may not be related anymore, but just as Frasier was a Cheers spin-off until it's final episode, PolState came from dKos, and I won't pretend otherwise. PolState is not about advancing any specific political agenda, but Markos started it.
By the way, I would have just posted this in comments on PolState, but they don't work. The "recent comments" link is a mile-long list of comment spam. Sorry.
