AWESOME!

Secretary of State Ross Miller said the raid was part of a monthslong voter fraud investigation of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, which he said submitted fraudulent registrations, including forms for the starting lineup of the Dallas Cowboys football team.

"Tony Romo is not registered to vote in the state of Nevada, and anybody trying to pose as Terrell Owens won't be able to cast a ballot on Nov. 4," Miller said.

Good grief!

The notion that Obama hangin' with an unapologetic domestic terrorist is somehow not important to voters is ridiculous. You can see the desperation on the faces of democrat talking heads as they scoff at McCain's "dumb" refusal to stay "focused" on the economy.

My concern is the Dems have already been driving in the point that the economy is all Bushes fault. They have been pushing it for 10 days now.

It's set in the boomers mind now. If McCain is going to overcome that, he has to be spot on tonight.

And the MSM has already set the mood over the last week. Anything that McCain says is going to be called "nasty."

Depends on the poll. CBS, Reuters/Zogby, Carville's Democracy Corps and I think Hotline all have Obama up by 3 or so. Much better than the 7-8 for Gallup and Rasmussen.

The markets have a tendency to be too emotional without good reason. All the assets represented by the stocks are worth the same amount as they were 2 weeks ago. If I had a nest egg, I'd be on a buying spree for undervalued stocks right now. Selling on a downturn turns a mere paper loss into a real loss. Unless the company is really dying, why would you sell for less than you bought?

I will fight, with the strength of a resistance fighter, and I will not stop until the close of election day. Christmas has been postponed.

Good thing Christmas falls the month after the election then eh?

re: #156 Walter L. Newton

Oh my gosh. Help, you ask "the question that has no answer." Please, don't do that. The last time someone asked, well, we are still trying to track the emails, last we knew, that person was stuck somewhere in Greenland.

Phew, that was close.

Might have been worse. It could have been about post #17.

re: #158 arethusa

Biden gaffed something like 24 times and it didn't make a bit of difference to the media.

I'm just afraid Obama's guides have him "heavily sedated" as the SNL skit said about Al Gore in the second debate of 2000. McCain needs him to slip up so badly it can be neither ignored or spun.

re: #110 David IV of Georgia

Because I think that we're going much lower. I sold for a loss, but only half the loss I would have now if I were holding my stock funds. And far less than half the loss that I would see if I'm right about where we're going in the next 6 months to a year. I predict we'll see DOW 7500 before we see 10000 again. I think the bargains will be had next summer at the soonest and plan to go back in by then.

Don't hold your breath, unless Obama publicly throws him under the bus.

re: #166 Tigger2005

So many people on this blog swore up and down that McCain was finished, that he had no fight left in him, that he was just marking time, that the gloves were never coming off. Then he told someone at a townhall meeting the gloves were coming off tonight. Only they came off Monday. And he ripped Obama several new ones and hit on every salient point regarding the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac fiasco.

I am so sick of people writing this man off.

That's odd. McCain counts on it. Usually with success. Ask Obama.

re: #164 Ward Cleaver

No, he's been around awhile, but mostly lurks. I think he's just pessimistic.

That raises an interesting point. New people who say something controversial as a way of opening discussion often get more than they bargained for, whereas established people get more leeway. If only there was some way to warn the newbies.

re: #154 arethusa

Quote from Valerie Jarrett, Obama adviser:

"Look, the fact of the matter is, what happened – as you pointed out – happened during the Vietnam War. This is not somebody who was an advisor to Senator Obama. He has not had any role in the campaign. He certainly would not have any role in an Obama administration."

Well, that makes it all better, don't it?

(PS: The fact that they are falling over themselves over Ayers tells me there's something there.)

From Wiki on Valerie Jarrett who was born in Iran:

Jarrett is one of Senator Obama's longest serving advisors and "closest campaign aide[s] – an insider widely tipped for a top position in an Obama administration. "[9][10]
“
Unlike Burt Lance, who arrived from Georgia with President [Jimmy] Carter and became his budget director, or Karen Hughes, who was President [George W.] Bush's communications manager, Ms. Jarrett isn't a confidante with a particular portfolio. What she does share with these counterparts is a fierce sense of loyalty and a refusal to publicly say anything that may reflect poorly on the candidate — or steal his thunder.— Belkin[9]

Sharmuta,

For the simple reason that you are the most optomistic person (on LGF or otherwise) I use your opinion as a barmoter. How are you feeling about the McDaddy's chances?

This is his format. I think MacDaddy will be able to handle any curve balls waaaaay better than 0bama.

Remember- MacDaddy wanted to do a bunch of these townhall styled debates- 0bama wouldn't go there. He is weak tonight. The chances for a big gaffe are high.

Tonight is McCain's big chance to et the record straight that he tried to do something about this fiasco while the dems in Congress punted.

I'm optimistic, true. But it has more to do with me being a fighter. ;)

IIRC it was some inside joke between Charles and his brother that was never fully explained. I remember a somewhat vague explanation being on the web design page that no longer exists as far as I know.

McCain needs to:
1- explain the sitch to include pointing fingers and naming names with proof ( not hard to do).Include the 17 times the white house warned congress since 2001, and the 2 bills trying to regulate.
2-Explain how allowing the people who corrupted the system to attempt to fix it is a sure fire way to f-it up more.
3-Explain RAISING taxes now will send us into the dark ages.
4-Say he will freeze spending - slash taxes across the board and NAME a few in particular.
5-Stay on point ...HAMMER EVERY point over and over.

re: #82 arethusa

Depends on the poll. CBS, Reuters/Zogby, Carville's Democracy Corps and I think Hotline all have Obama up by 3 or so. Much better than the 7-8 for Gallup and Rasmussen.

I don't think it's too late. See Obi-Wan Kenobi speak.

re: #167 buzzsawmonkey

Won't happen.

Put me in a room with him, no questions asked, I'll find out what he knows.

I don't think we should raise the bar too high for McCain.

There's still much time left after tonight. Even if he scores a clear win, what's that good for? A 2-4 day bump in the polls (which I don't believe anyway)?

We need to hit the highpoint 2 days before the election. By the way, I'll go out on a huge limb and predict a McCain landslide in November.

I just cannot bring myself to believe this country has enough malignant and ignorant voters to elect an anti-American radical President of the United States.

Seems to me McCain showed Monday that he wants to win this election.

If Mac all of a sudden didn't feel so good at the start of the debate,
could they put a sub in, like say........hmmm......Sarah?

I hope McCain has a real Tom Cruise in "A Few Good Men" moment...

you know, the one when he's questioning nicholson and he has to decide whether to "go for it" or not to nail nicholson to the wall.

GO FOR IT, JOHN!

I predict Obama will go directly to the laundry list of talking points. He knows from the Saddleback debate that a "nuanced" answer is difficult for the general population to follow. Obama really needs the teleprompter and a grand speech to shine.

In this case, no. It is the effect of belonging to a Temple concerned with "social justice" (gag!) while living a privileged lifestyle.

Question, would Illinois or U.S. Senate office phone records be kept & available for viewing through the Freedom of Information Act.

re: #195 The Pulchritudinous Patriot

As am I. But I'm putting my money in Vanguard's GNMA fund until I think that we're back on the upswing. I agree with you that our economy is fundamentally sound. We have a credit crunch that could undermine it however if businesses can't borrow money. And, if our government doesn't drastically cut spending I'm afraid that credit will be in short supply, inflation is going to get bad while unemployment will rise. I see, "That 70's Show" all over again, complete with oil supply problems. It will be bad if McCain wins and it will be disastrous if the ONE wins.

McCain is a fighter, one who survived 4 years in a hell hole under conditions that would of killed a lessor man like Obama. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. In that case McCain is a giant of a man especially when compared to Obama. The media is doing its best to cast Republicans as the cause of the current crises, but unfortunately the facts state the Democrats were the ones who precipitated the crises. The conservative blogs and talk radio is going all out in fighting the lies of the MSM. Stand fast mates and we will beat these guys. I predict a landslide for McCain. Americans are not suckers or the dummies the MSM and Democrats are playing us for. Death to the tyrants! Yaaaar!

re: #137 Ward Cleaver

Hey Shiplord! How's Lubbock?

/and you too?

Still soggy. The City of Lubbock has spent more than $100 million on storm drainage and flood control in the last 15 years and there are still many, many streets that flood if it rains for 10 minutes. This is in a city with just 23 inches of rainfall during an average year. During the big rain last month, I drove my car into 4 feet of water, doing $1100 worth of damage. I was lucky at that, Lexus parts are expensive.

This happened at a major intersection in an industrial area that is a main artery for truck traffic. The city administration probably wonders why trucking companies and distributors don't want to locate here.

The weird traffic cultist who ran the city redlights retired last month, but the Famous Forever Lights have not yet been changed. It is amazing to sit at a red light for two minutes at 3AM in the middle of nowhere. Visitors notice this kind of idiocy before anything else. It is not a deal-breaker for new business (though it does waste a lot of time) but it does help convince them that the city is run by drooling idiots and gibbering fools, which of course it is.

On a brighter note, the Red Raiders are winning big. Last week, ESPN droid Lee Corso picked Kansas State over Tech as his "upset special of the week." According to this sage of the gridiron, Tech was "overrated" and had played "nobody." K-State fans picked this up and chanted "overrated! overrated!" as the Raiders entered the field.
Final: Texas Tech 58, K-State 28.
