McCain closes huge gap on key question for women

Since picking Sarah Palin as his running mate, John McCain has obliterated what had been a 34-percentage-point deficit in a poll of likely women voters on the question of which candidate has a “better understanding of women and what is important” to them.

The two are now effectively tied, with McCain's 44 to 42 percentage lead within the margin of error of...

The soldier probably touched her arm or looked at her face/hair. To a religious Muslim this is considered a sexual violation. The fact that they don't describe it tells me it was something stupid and not offensive. The rest of the whhhaaaaa is hilarious too.

WASHINGTON (Sept. 22) - The FBI searched the residence of the son of a Democratic state lawmaker in Tennessee over the weekend looking for evidence linking the young man to the hacking of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin's personal e-mail account, two law enforcement officials told The Associated Press on Monday.
David Kernell, 20, has not returned repeated phone calls or e-mails from the AP since last week. He is the son of state Rep. Mike Kernell, a Memphis Democrat and chairman of Tennessee's House Government Operations Committee. The father declined last week to discuss the possibility his son might be involved in the case

Astroturf update :

Jared Liu-Klein (aka "stckyfngz") hangs up on Weekly Standard

Jared Liu-Klein, the employee of Publicis' Winner & Associates who we believe is DU member "stckyfngz" and who we believe helped in the astroturfing campaign against Sarah Palin got a phone call from the Weekely Standard. He didn't deny he was "stckyfngz" and then he hung up. Weekly Standard:

I just spoke with Liu-Klein on the phone and asked him about the matter, but he said that he would have to get back to me later. I gave him my email address and asked if he could give me a simple yes or no answer if he had ever posted a video on the Internet about Sarah Palin and the Alaskan Independence Party. Liu-Klein replied: "I'll have to get back to you as soon as I can." Then he hung up the phone. I'll post Liu-Klein's response if and when I get it.

In other news, the market dropped like a rock today because of a very poorly thought through "short sale ban" by the government. Options traders can still create short sales, for instance, which is a loop hole in the the ban, which made it a rigged game. So, your normal big buyers of these stocks walked away from the market and will not put their money in play until the game is no longer rigged.

Best way to fix this glitch is reinstitute the "uptick rule" enforce it, and get rid of the ban. You will see the market jump 400 to 500 points if that is done.

Why Santa Clara? I'm confused. Ace is on mu.nu - which I think isn't US based?

I guess I singled out Santa Clara out as the HQ for the"hipper than thou thought police" because it is the epicenter of the Silicon Valley, which is filled with ego-drunken geeks who see no problem with destroying liberal ideas in order to impose them on others as a "progressive order". Coulda been Palo Alto or Cupertino.

Mr. Silhouette and Mother both used Chantix. Mr. Silhouette said it did great at stopping his urges to smoke. The problem was that he really didn't want to be a non-smoker, and went back. Mother, on the other hand, just quit in 3 weeks after smoking 2 packs a day for almost 50 years. She is approaching one year smoke-free.

re: #148 3 wood

In other news, the market dropped like a rock today because of a very poorly thought through "short sale ban" by the government. Options traders can still create short sales, for instance, which is a loop hole in the the ban, which made it a rigged game. So, your normal big buyers of these stocks walked away from the market and will not put their money in play until the game is no longer rigged.

Best way to fix this glitch is reinstitute the "uptick rule" enforce it, and get rid of the ban. You will see the market jump 400 to 500 points if that is done.

One thing I discovered is that I DO NOT try to remove the trigger points in my life. I LOVED to smoke with a diet drink and sitting at the computer, on LGF, hours on end. Well, I decided not to stop that, otherwise it would just be harder on myself.

Which convention drew independents?
Voters not yet committed to either candidate were 12% more engaged by TV coverage of the GOP convention than the Democratic convention, according to an analysis released Monday by Nielsen IAG. …
John McCain’s acceptance speech on September 4 drew the most attentive audience of uncommitted viewers, Nielsen reported. Telecasts of Barack Obama’s and Sarah Palin’s acceptance speeches on August 28 and September 3, respectively, tied in second place as the second most engaging telecasts among uncommitted viewers.
Overall, viewers were more engaged by the telecasts of the RNC vs. the DNC. Registered voters were 10% more engaged by the RNC than the DNC, while likely voters were 12% more engaged in RNC viewing.

re: #178 Alaska Kim

What life-threatening incidents? If you don't mind my asking....

In February of 1999, I developed a very severe case of pneumonia. I'd never been that heavy a smoker, and I'd never really had any problem with it, so after I recovered, I smoked again.

In 2007, what started as an allergy attack became bronchitis, and then I had a bronchial spasm which sent me to the ER.

I should have quit that time, because (frankly) ever since, if I smoked more than 5 cigarettes in a day (which I did when I was stressed, and I get stressed) I coughed for days afterwards.

Last Tuesday, while fighting bronchitis, I had another bronchial spasm - the worst I've ever had. Again, a visit to the ER.

This time, since I haven't had a cigarette in two weeks and counting, I'm quitting and staying quit.

All my life, if I get upset, I have gotten short of breath. It's not asthma, it's all psychological. I'm interested in seeing how that works out with not smoking.

Before you quit smoking, schedule and have your sigmoidoscopy.

Then tell yourself when you quit smoking the next day that no tobacco means less likelihood of having another sigmoidoscopy sooner (due to a cancer scare). Should be a good additional motivator.

Sorry to be so pedantic.

The uptick rule is where you can not close out a short sale position (buy the stock back from the market) until the price ticks up wards in the market.

That keeps unfettered bashing of stocks with false rumors and such from happening to force the stock price down. About 2 years ago the SEC discontinued the uptick rule, and the market has gotten a lot more volatile every since.

A lot of stocks are very underpriced right now, but the buyers are going to sit on the sidelines until the rules get straightened out.

If I was in charge of the SEC I'd have this fixed in 48 hours. It's so frustrating to sit here and watch these morons screw around with this.
