One foot in grave, the other in Boston

This guy says if Ted Kennedy is so worried about Massachusetts’ having two senate voices, he should resign. Add this: At what point does he get ready to die and give up politics. It’s like the Tex Williams song about the smoker:

Tell St. Peter at the Golden Gate
That you hate to make him wait,
But you just gotta have another cigarette.

Come on, Ted, enough of twisting arms and cajoling voters. St. Peter waits for no senate vote.

Down and down he goes . . .

Zowie. His lowest rating yet.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows that 27% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-one percent (41%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -14. These figures mark the lowest Approval Index rating yet recorded for this President. The previous low of -12 was reached on July 30 (see trends).

It’s the first time “strongly approve” went below 29%. Not quite half the Dems (49%) strongly approve at this point. Similarly, it’s the highest yet for “strongly disapprove” — 70% of Republicans, 49% of unaffiliated.

Have a look:
