I have a new poll in the sidebar to the right. The question is: How will conservatives do in the 2010 Mid-terms? Vote, and add your comments here on this post.

2010 is here and, whatever your thoughts on the eventual outcome, it’s time for conservatives to get to work. And to discuss things about the mid-terms and conservativism in general go join the group at The Regiment.

But did it change any minds?

If nothing else, Barack Obama’s speech yesterday has managed to take Hillary Clinton, John McCain, and most other news stories out of the public eye. The question now is, did the speech make any difference?

Will it have any impact on race relationships in the U.S.? My thought is, probably not. While Obama’s supporters are rating the speech from very good to one that should be an “American tract” I don’t see it ushering in anything new.

Will it have any impact on the Democrat primary? As Chris Muir points out in today’s Day by Day, the real target audience was the super delegates and the primary voters in Pennsylvania. Political necessity and damage control were the drivers behind the speech, much more than any desire to open up a national dialog. Caroline Glick puts it this way:

Obama’s denunciation of Wright’s bigotry amounts to too little too late. The time to stand up to him wasn’t now, when his association with Wright is sinking his hopes for the White House. The time to have stood up to Wright was when Obama was just another member of his church. (h/t: The Jawa Report)

The new poll question is: “Did Barack Obama’s Speech Change Any Minds?”

A Rasmussen poll, conducted after the release of the NIE this week, shows that only 18% of those surveyed believe that Iran has stopped their nuke program.

Just 18% of American voters believe that Iran has halted its nuclear weapons program. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 66% disagree and say Iran has not stopped its nuclear weapons program.

[...]

The Rasmussen Reports survey also found that 67% of American voters believe that Iran remains a threat to the national security of the United States. Only 19% disagree while 14% are not sure.

Fifty-nine percent (59%) believe that the United States should continue sanctions against Iran. Twenty percent (20%) disagree and 21% are not sure.

Forty-seven percent (47%) believe it is Very Likely that Iran will develop nuclear weapons in the future and another 34% believe Iran is Somewhat Likely to do so.

Amazingly enough, even the left has trouble swallowing this idea.

Twenty-nine percent (29%) of liberal voters believe that Iran has stopped its weapons program but 54% disagree.

Once again there was great liveblogging of the debate at Heading Right, and a lively follow up discussion at Debate Central. You can hear my thoughts as well as those of Frank P from Political Vindication and Mac from Macsmind with Captain Ed Morrissey moderating.

The archived podcast should be available very soon for those who didn’t listen live.

I’ll be talking about the debate tomorrow morning on First Cup Radio. If you’re going to be up that early (6am Eastern) please call in and give me your thoughts. The call in number is: (718) 664-9725

One question for all of you, who will be the first of the ten current candidates to drop out of the race? I have a new poll in the right sidebar.
