re: #15 zombie

The conventions are over.

And in other news there are not enough carbon credits to cover the recent spike in CO2

Not that I disbelieve polls, but the bottom line is now clear:

If you do not vote for McCain (and over the past few months, a few people have expressed reservations, talked about protest votes, etc.), and try to get everyone who is undecided or not completely committed to voting straight "D", then we will have 4 years of BHO and his clowns.

There are no other options. It is this simple now.

If you don't vote for McCain, then we all suffer.

On the whole issue of polling - much has been done this year to alter the polling models to reflect the "enthusiasm gap".

That gap is now gone. After the last week, enthusiasm is high among McCain/Palin supporters and they will be showing up.

And Rasmussen posted numbers today showing the party identification gap has closed from double digits to about 5 points.

McCain is now creating momentum around reform and restoring the brand. He will go with that message up to election day. Obama has a big problem. It may be over for him in as little as a month.

re: #53 ggt

I believe that sometime in the next sixty days Obama is going to have some sort of mini-meltdown/tantrum on the campaign trail.

The stress of a presidential election campaign is nothing for McCain, compared to what he's gone through.

No but he did try to steal McCains thunder tonight by telling O'Reilly that he would be interviewed but the only day he had was...TODAY.

Don't know why I am so sensitive to it. There's a Mexican food place near my house called Que Chevare, and I don't much care for that.

re: #65 CyanSnowHawk

Except that he never had to campaign hard before. In the primary campaign he was rewarded by HRC's missteps plus the bizarre rules for awarding delegates. McCain-Palin have come out swinging in a way that he probably hadn't anticipated.

re: #61 musicman

I agree, in addition to the normal campagin stress, he has all his followers telling him what he as to be for them. And a few financiers telling him he has to win. Add to that the real thread of a whacko trying to 'cause him harm --I'd say he is under a bit of stress.

AND, at the end of the day, he has to face Michelle. She doesnt' seem like the type to bring him a pair of slippers and a martini.

Statement of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton
Thursday, Sep 4, 2008

The two party conventions showcased vastly different directions for our country. Senator Obama and Senator Biden offered the new ideas and positive change America needs and deserves after eight years of failed Republican leadership. cried like little girls after Senator McCain and Governor Palin do nothanded him his ass.

After listening to all the speeches this week, I heard nothing that suggests the Republicans are ready to fix the economy for middle class families, provide quality affordable health care for all Americans, guarantee equal pay for equal work for women, restore our nation's leadership in a complex world or tackle the myriad of challenges our country faces. roll over for Obama and the Media So, to slightly amend my comments from Denver: NO WAY, NO HOW, NO McCAIN-PALIN.if the sonofabitch would have picked me, he wouldn't be in this mess.

re: #104 Killian Bundy

Nice final updates, dude. The anarchy blog is quiet.

To me , the most heartening news I've heard in a long time came on the gay "party music" radio station in SF today. It is the de facto station of the gay community aorund here. The DJs simply couldn't stop talking about Palin ALL DAY. And here's the incredible part: they weren't being negative! They were saying, in all sincerity, "She's cool," "She kicks ass," "She is just so hot in that dress," etc. Every now and then they'd mention her political opinions, which they disagree with, but that mostly fell by the wayside and was steamrolled by uncontrollable admiration.

I was astounded. It's usually the leftiest station outside of Pacifica Radio and NPR. But It seems like most of the staff is now ready to vote Palin-McCain. If that's happening here, in the center on moonbattism, I bet it's happening acorss the country.

He is also going to lose his temper at least once with Biden in public. For all Biden tries to play sympathy on his wife's death in the traffic accident, the other vehicle was operated by a person who was not intoxicated and was not charged with any offense to my knowledge. Biden is playing "urban legend" and the family of the operator of the other vehicle are bullshit right now. I would love for them to throw a libel suit at Biden in the middle of the campaign. The guy invents himself out of whole cloth like he did when he plagiarized the Welsh politicians "life story" in 1968. Fraud, thy name is Biden. But what is going to sink the show is when they do a joint appearance and motor-mouth starts up.

Of Radio in general: I like XM but my father and I have a pretty big library of CDs, burned and unburned, and MP3 players to last us without radio.

That sounds like a very interesting station to listen to. Perhaps they can hand out Sarah Palin glasses(which are supposedly on the upsurge) whenever they have contests, or just hand them out for free whenever somebody shows up to the Radio Station itself.

What kind of man graduates magna cum laude from Harvard Law after being the first African American editor of that law review, and the does nothing for three year? That is a person who has no depth and no gratitude to do something with the laurels he had earned.

Dammit....Obama did do something. He became a community organizer! He made Chicago a better place!

Hey you! somewhere in the last thread, I asked how you were doin' tonite. Did you answer?

One thing I noticed is that both Laura and Cindy seem to be truly "in love" with their husbands. Maybe Michelle has been married long enough to have "that look". I'm not saying that she doesn't truly love Barry, I just like the calm passion I see in both Laura and Cindy's eyes.

Being married to the same women for 20+ years and getting "that look" says a lot.

Cindy doesn't approach the White House with "stars" in her eyes. She would take it all in stride.

If I ever do assign myself to my most serious weakness in knowledge(besides Mathematics and intellectually evasive subjects) it is in sports. Unfortunately I would know more about Excel if it was a videogame or political arena or one where The Beatles played than if it was held for sports. Now that I know about that, it is ironic that a hockey mother whose voice sounded not so different from a native Minnesotan(Personally I loved her voice. It sounded commanding and charismatic) and who also is upfront on Energy Issues would speak at a hockey arena named the Excel Energy Center in Minnesota.

But yeah, back to what I originally flubbed on, in my garnish of sarcasm and overacting moonbattish streams of consciousness ranting, I meant to say that McCain should've had his acceptance speech on top of Mount. Olympus. Yeah, that is the ticket! (sarc. for the innocent)

I want to get a rock steady (Jamaica 1966-69) station, but the algorithm isn't quite geared for that specificity, at least yet. I think they just have too few songs to choose from in that category.

I also tried setting up a Jpop station, but that didn't work too well either. Too limited a playlist. That's why I had to settle for a Shibuya/P5 station instead.

They really need to beef up their non-U.S. playlists, and also expand the criteria for similar/rejected songs algorithms, which aren't perfect yet.

Our convention was different. We gave the stage to everyday Americans who hunger for change and stepped up to make phone calls, knock on doors, and raise money in small amounts in their communities.

You may have missed it, but we also showed the country a video with the faces and voices of those organizers, volunteers, and donors from every corner of the country.

I also have had a few political surprises in my life but they don't usually happen with a political outsider trying to convince, and succeeding with some, those also that there are some merits of the inside. I think that some of the best, and I include Fenway on this, writings I have seen on here are anecdotes of Lefties acting bad/showing up Lefties, but also of surprising political conversions or interesting sea changes, because I love learning about people, and listening to stories about politics in the real world. Though I tend to avoid people also.

That might be very important as the delegates did drown out the protestors by chanting that(USA! USA!). It is also symbolic as AQ doesn't have a hockey team, but AQ and all assorted nutcases and terrorists around the world combined are the USSR of today. Thank goodness we are still doing our job even with mindless fools like Jodie Evans(one of Obama's prime donors).

I did watch Miracle, about that moment. It is a shame that Herb Brooks died before the movie came out. Perhaps with McCain's policy platform on the surge and the like the question that arises is "Do you believe in Miracles?" and I give that a Yes I can.

re: #60 neocon hippie

I believe that sometime in the next sixty days Obama is going to have some sort of mini-meltdown/tantrum on the campaign trail.

The stress of a presidential election campaign is nothing for McCain, compared to what he's gone through.

Don't let wishing substitute for thinking. Obama's not going to melt down. He had a tough primary and he carried the day. He isn't going to shoot enough own-goals to put the Republicans over the top.

The election is being held against a backdrop of bad news, some of it manufactured by the media, but some of it real. This makes politics an uphill struggle for the incumbent party, no matter how bad the ideas of the other side may be.

Then again perhaps the estate of Beethoven, for example, like Ode to Joy will protest because Obama is so full of "hope and change".

That is it, I believe that in the next few months Obama will lose the woman's vote because of his stupid political thinking.

Yet, it is funny, Obama linked his speech to MLK Jr. "I Have a Dream" Speech and McCain didn't link to Herb Brooks and the Miracle On Ice. Yet he had a kind of sunny optimism and the same kind of love for his country that Herb had for it also. So I really wouldn't complain.

Across this nation, people like you have joined this movement because you believe that we are better than the past eight years. And now that we are entering the final stretch, it's going to take all of us to bring the change we need.

Step up at this crucial moment and make a donation of $5 or more to change our country.

Can I send it in pennies?

Didn't see it but it may have been posted already Barry's train song.

Don't let wishing substitute for thinking. Obama's not going to melt down. He had a tough primary and he carried the day. He isn't going to shoot enough own-goals to put the Republicans over the top.

The election is being held against a backdrop of bad news, some of it manufactured by the media, but some of it real. This makes politics an uphill struggle for the incumbent party, no matter how bad the ideas of the other side may be.

Things are looking much better for McCain right now, but you're right.
Obama still has the edge.

Wow, 396 downdings for annefrance. Is that some sort of record?

Oooh, I just got ANOTHER one from Joe Biden 15 seconds ago!

Perhaps Joe needs some beer money? Or perhaps he wants to buy The Villages, or whatever that TV Show was called, on DVD. Heh, that would be funny.

Joe: I "hic" and Teddy "hic" salute the Kansas City Hawaiian Barack Osama. As I once said when I was a lawyer "four score and 7 years ago", it rang true as it rings now when I first originally said it. Y'all come back now ya hear!

To me , the most heartening news I've heard in a long time came on the gay "party music" radio station in SF today. It is the de facto station of the gay community aorund here. The DJs simply couldn't stop talking about Palin ALL DAY. And here's the incredible part: they weren't being negative! They were saying, in all sincerity, "She's cool," "She kicks ass," "She is just so hot in that dress," etc.

I bet they fantasize about being dominated by her. The "furries" will want to get all dressed up as huskies for her dog sled.

CRACK THE WHIP SARAH! MUSH! MUSH!

LOL!

Well Lizards, I have been interning in one of the McCain campaign's Victory Centers in Parma, Ohio, and boy did we have a big night tonight! We held a watch party for McCain's acceptance speech, and had a lot of volunteers making phone calls beforehand. We had close to 100 people crammed into our little storefront, to standing room only capacity, and people were absolutely fired up about this campaign. Ever since McCain announced Sarah Palin as his VP selection on Friday in Dayton (which I had the awesome opportunity to go to!), our phones have been ringing off the hook, and people have been stopping in at random to look for yard signs, bumper stickers, to donate money to the campaign, and to ask how they can get involved.

It has been truly inspiring to see what Sarah Palin and the excitement surrounding the RNC has done in terms of motivating people to see this ticket through to victory. People were so enthused tonight by Sen. McCain's speech that they stayed around until close to 1 AM just talking with one another, even on a work night (I just got home very recently). What have I taken away from all of this? McCain/Palin can, and will win in November, but it is going to take passionate people on the ground to make it happen.

Now, I'm not a paid staffer, I am just an individual who is excited about this ticket, so much so that I am working full time without pay. I don't need it. If we win in November, that will be all of the payment that I desire. At the risk of sounding a little lame, I hope that all of you will go out and find your local McCain office and make some phone calls, or knock on some doors. As much or as little as you can give, it truly does make a difference.

McCain/Palin '08!
