re: #12 yah

I try really hard to visit that place only when absolutely necessary.

Just left St. Paul where the protests were going on. A lot of well armed police seemed to control the crowd. There were a few altercations including some people sitting in front of an empty charter bus and they were quickly removed by some visiting Minneapolis police on horseback. The demonstrators say they were sprayed but I was right there and did not witness that. They poured water in their eyes trying to get media attention which they did get. I saw several instances of this where they were acting as they had been sprayed only looking for cameras and then giving them space to film the act once the cameras did show up.

Everything this campaign does is outside the mold. And, unlike some other "New Ideas" campaigns I've worked on, this one seems to be run by sane individuals. I'm glad I've been able to see this.

What is this about sand bags on buses? That sounds like attempted murder.

About 200 people from a group called Funk the War noisily staged its own separate march. Wearing black clothes, bandanas and gas masks, some of their members smashed windows of cars and stores. They tipped over newspaper boxes, pulled a big trash bin into the street, bent the rear view mirrors on a bus and flipped heavy stone garbage bins on the sidewalks.

One man who seemed to be the leader of the group carried a yellow flag with the motto "Don't Tread on Me." The group chanted: "Whose streets? Our streets!"

Meanwhile, a group of about 100 anarchists pushed a trash bin filled with trash and threw garbage in the streets and at cars. They also took down orange detour road signs. One of them used a screwdriver to puncture the back tire of a limousine waiting at an intersection and threw a wooden board at the vehicle, denting its side. Another hurled a glass bottle at a charter bus that had stopped at an intersection. The bottle smashed into pieces but didn't appear to damage the bus.

Stay classy, guys!

These conventions have become all about playing to the media, looking for the almighty "bounce".

It's about time at least one of the parties adopted a business-like attitude and focused on getting something done for a change.

McCain and Palin will do the heavy lifting, starting next weekend.

Will Pajamas Media sent an undercover LGF agent to infiltrate the GOP convention as well? You know, to covertly investigate the right-wing fringe groups?

re: #5 BrianA

They're already getting pepper sprayed after smashing property and police cruiser windows.

There is something interesting about having the Convention held at a place called the Excel Energy Center, as energy is a hot issue this election. Hopefully I'll get to see some of this, even if I might be horrible at live responding. I do know that I wouldn't want to miss McCain's acceptance speech.

I am very curious how Olbermann and Matthews will react to that, and how the Obamans will look at it. It is their time to prove that they are not the biased, Obama lovers that they show themselves to be, and it is time to see how the Obama is a Rock Star crowd will react. McCain isn't a bad speaker, and will probably throw some good punches.

I did see one bag of a white'ish substance thown at a bus - nothing was broken in that incident. Very close to that was a MN state partol car with a broken side window.

Stay classy, guys!

Too bad the ART SLUTS aren't still around:

Who, you may ask, are the Art Sluts?

Once upon a time ago (during Gulf War I) when I was an active member, the Libertarian Party of Minnesota was holding their Tax Day demonstration by the west entrance of the Minneapolis post office. We were handing out our party theft day literature to our fellow victims of socialist compassion. I was at the time wearing a dress shirt and tie to distinguish myself the Grassroots Party in their more proletarian garb. This didn't always succeed, as there was one woman who thought I was pothead and exhibited a near-psychotic fear of same.

But since the Grassroots crowd were a bunch of socialists perhaps that fear wasn't so irrational.

At about ten p.m., a dozen (my estimate, I didn't get an exact count) female humanoids (they were shaped like females) in tight black somethings came marching by wearing gas masks (not something one would want to wear in cold weather) and big--like three foot wide--yellow bows with price tags marked "$60,000,000,000" They were handing out little red cards identifying themselves as "Sluts for Peace/Art/Humanity/Sanity and the Earth". (With a name like that, did they really expect to be taken seriously?)

One side of their card read:

Midnight approaches. Let's talk about death and taxes. How much did you pay? For what? We see red.

They weren't very talkative and one really can't see very much in a gas mask.

The other side of the card read as follows:

Stay where you are now silent, or
Let us assist you in asking
Universal Questions about life.
This is it, our only life on earth;
Speak to your heart.

Now if they really wanted an emotional conversation (Oh wow man! Reason! What a concept!) the least they could have done was to leave a phone number where they could be reached. As it is, this was simply another instance of mindless posturing, (possibly a "New Age" voodoo ceremony or a audition for a NEA or other government arts grant) interfering with rational political discourse. I had to explain to someone that I was not one of the Art Sluts before he would take one of our Libertarian theft day fliers. At the time I thought that at future demonstrations I should wear my BDU Woodland pattern cammo jacket.

The last two polls of likely voters have Obama +3 (one poll pre Dem convention, the other post). I think that's where the race is. I worry most about losing Ohio. I think Virginia and Florida go McCain.

I think the GOP can get a big bounce from their convention - they need to develop themes about Obama that stick. I recommend they focus on these:

- Focus on Obama's arrogance, past associations, voting record, and lack of accomplishment. Paint him as an ordinary politician.
- Focus on Biden's arrogance, past associations, voting record, and lack of accomplishment. No need to paint him as an ordinary politician since everyone knows he is one.
- Use the Biden pick as proof Obama is an ordinary politician. Contrast McCain's pick of Palin.
- Reform agenda. Admit past mistakes.

"I have said before and I will repeat again: People's families are off limits," Obama said. "And people's children are especially off-limits. This shouldn't be part of our politics. It has no relevance to Gov. Palin's performance as a governor or her potential performance as a vice president. So I would strongly urge people to back off these kinds of stories. You know my mother had me when she was 18 and how a family deals with issues and teenage children, that shouldn’t be a topic of our politics."

Koskidz report rioting.....
I Was Tear Gassed By The St. Paul Police - Eyewitness Account

When they first appeared, they had dumpster on wheels in tow. They were dressed all in black and had bandanas over their faces. They kept chanting "the streets are ours" and yelled "cover!" every time they thought the police might move on them. There appeared to be about 100 to 125 of them. They dropped trash on the street behind them. Once they had emptied the dumpster, they overturned it in the street to block the police cars that were following them.

I saw them throw empty glass bottles at the police. At one point they tossed a detour sign and several sandbags off the 94 bridge at Kellogg Avenue. Luckily, the objects landed in the embankment and not in the roadway.

I saw them break windows on at least three police vehicles: a Bloominton Police SUV downtown, and State Patrol car on John Ireland Avenue in front of the Minnesota History Center and a St. Paul Police car on Rice Street. I also saw them slash the tires of a limousine on Rice Street.

They intermittently attempted to block the police from following them. On two occasions they dragged road signs into the street in an attempt to block streets. The second time they got hold of a dumpster they turned it over in the middle of Rice Street in front of the Capitol Mall to prevent to police from directly following them. This actually worked for about two minutes.

The police eventually followed them across the Rice Street bridge into downtown. There they protesters seemed to get a little more violent. Two of the three acts of violence I witnessed against a police vehicle happened here. All of the police vehicles I saw attacked were unoccupied. This coincided with the arrival of the SWAT team. The protesters pulled newspaper vending machines and road signs into the street. The police finally trapped them between two blocks. I'm not sure of the exact streets, but it was by the Gallery Exchange building.

At that point the SWAT team moved to take them down. I was directly across a narrow street from where the protesters were cornered. There were several loud pops. I saw smoke. I believe these were concussion grenades but I'm not sure. I definitely saw the protesters fired upon with rubber bullets. Then the SWAT team gassed them. Everyone in the immediate area them ran for cover, including myself. I got the gas pretty bad. A nice woman from Legal Observers washed my eyes out and gave me a drink.

HorsesAss on Palin (N.W. liberal blog)

Of the 38 men to have been elected President since 1789, eight have failed to complete their final term—more than one out of five. And at 72 years old, in remission from cancer for a second time (he had deadly melanomas removed in 1993 and 2000), the possibility of a President John McCain’s death or incapacitation in office is far from remote. Hopeful Americans stand in line to plunk down hard earned cash on a 1 in 120,000,000 chance to hit the Powerball lottery, yet if history is any guide, a Vice President Sarah Palin would stand a roughly 1 in 4.75 chance of succeeding John McCain before the end of his second term.

Those are damn good odds for Palin. And damn bad odds for the US and the world if she is unprepared to lead our nation through our current turbulent times.

Okay, Goldy, based on your logic why are you voting Obama & Biden combined with ZERO executive experience?

Isn't questioning Palin's experience by the left the pot calling the kettle black?

No, it's fair. Obama has come under attack for being inexperienced (and he is), but so is Palin in that regard.

Meanwhile, down in Caracas, [T]hugo Chavez has to explain to everyone how and why the power went out. He'll probably blame the greedy capitalists for the problem. The truth, however, is much simpler. Chavez has sought to nationalize industries across the board and doesn't know what he's doing. He's turning the country into a basket case.

It's the 2d time this year there have been national blackouts. Expect him to attempt to grab more political power in the process - claiming it's needed to prevent future blackouts.

re: #141 Jetpilot1101

How exactly is Palin inexperienced? Two years as governor. Years as a mayor of a city in Alaska that is comparable in size to the community organizing Obama days.

That's real executive experience. She's got a wee bit of foreign policy experience too - given that she was chair of a multistate commission on oil and gas that had foreign affiliates. She had to regularly deal with Canadian officials, and her state borders Russia as well.

She has a record in Alaska that you can actually look at - compared with Obama, whose a tabula rasa. Biden is little better, given that he's got tenure, but not the knowledgeable experience you'd hope fore. Besides, if Biden were truly a good choice to cover for Obama's flaws (namely inexperience and lack of achievements), why isn't he at the top of the ticket? Well, there's a reason for that - he's the gaffe maker.

She was. Why Meg is taking this position is beyond me. Using the term "Hail Mary" is not far fetched. Palin's pick is by no means a safe, conservative pick.

The thing to remember is that "Hail Mary" passes are things of beauty when they work--and this one seems to be floating down nicely into the hands of the intended receiver.

re: #118 sattv4u2

While at work this morning, I was taking in satellite footage of a McCain/ Palin rally in St Louis. There were the requesite McCain signs, the new Palin ones but what was very VERY interetsting to me, in the cameras view I saw dozens of Hillary signs, the holders of which were cheering loudly for McCain Palin

Over the past few years I've been upset to see McCain working so closely with Hillary Clinton. I even remember a joint interview where they seemed particularly cozy with each other (I no longer remember the issue). I was furious at the time, but now, in some weird unforseen way (who would have guessed Hillary wouldn't get the nomination?), all that respectful schmoozing is going to work out well for McCain. Many Hillary supports aren't leftists, but see her as a champion of working women and working mothers. Palin, as a strong woman with both career and family, is going to play well with those voters.
