Also, a "nonpartisan" study from the Center for Media and Public Affairs:

re: #5 zombie
Hi Zombie, I just re-read your report on the NY Obama / Ayers ties and it seems very possible that you are correct. I have been in criminal investigations for the majority of my adult life and I have this really uneasy feeling the holes, specifically about BHO's time at Columbia, are either a cover to mask his deep involvement with Ayers / WUG or that he may not have actually gone to Columbia. This is only based upon my personal gut as I have not seen any evidence of his graduation from Columbia. If it has been made public I would tend to go more with the deep involvement with a group of very bad people. Thanks for all your hard work.

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.This is known as "bad luck."

I think he actually did go to Columbia -- otherwise, the lie would be so easily disproved. But I think he also got deeply involved in some very far-left radical political scene which he wants to be permanently forgotten. (Off campus.) As to whether or not that included brushing up against the Weather Underground -- I simply still don't know.

re: #32 zombie
Well, just my two cents - there are no coincidences. The nexus of the investigation is really, again in my opinion, the high degree of probability that the targeting of the South Africans from two dispartent groups was not coincidential. In a well conceived action there are generally two components, the action and the distraction. In this case the action, Weathermen and the distraction the anti-apartid rally. Not probably something that will ever be able to be uncovered unless someone talks.
The "missing time" from BHO at Columbia is to distance any involvement with the Weathermen or their actions. Again pure speculation on my part.

Hey, I wrote the book on that -- I know it's close. Or that McCain may even have a slight edge. I just don't want anyone to ease up in the final days.
A big poll came out two days ago saying that Obama had a massive, incredible 22% lead in California. Over at the SF Chronicle, the moonbat commenters were howling in glee and ecstasy, doing a victory dance. Then, I posted this comment, and all their heads exploded en masse:
-------------
Wow, this poll is fantastic news for McCain. That's right -- I said McCain! The nationwide polls have the race getting pretty close -- McCain is now within 5% of Obama nationwide. And in a situation like that you want to lose the biggest states by huge margins -- which sucks up all the perceived polled support for the other candidate. Now it looks like that 5% of Americans who are the difference between Obama and McCain are actually all Californians -- which means the rest of the country is a dead heat. McCain was never going to win California. So the best thing to do is lose it by as big a margin as possible. Put it this way: Including California, Obama leads McCain by 5% nationwide. But granting Obama's victory in CA, in the other 49 states combined, they are tied! And perhaps McCain is even ahead a little bit! The way to win an election in an electoral college system is to lose big in the states you're going to lose, and then win by narrow margins in the states you win.

re: #69 Viking6
Well, just my two cents - there are no coincidences. The nexus of the investigation is really, again in my opinion, the high degree of probability that the targeting of the South Africans from two dispartent groups was not coincidential. In a well conceived action there are generally two components, the action and the distraction. In this case the action, Weathermen and the distraction the anti-apartid rally. Not probably something that will ever be able to be uncovered unless someone talks.
The "missing time" from BHO at Columbia is to distance any involvement with the Weathermen or their actions. Again pure speculation on my part.
My guess, is that BHO felt rather free to write as he wished while at Columbia. Therefore, one is not to go there.

Hard working Americans can pay trillions to learn solipsism from The One,
Or, we can issue dividends of respect, teaching tenacity alongside John McCain.
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not; nothing in the world is more common that unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education alone will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.

Yeah, someone mentioned it on an earlier thread. Here it is. That's the scan I made of my copy of the book!
The funny thing is, I have never heard his show, ever, not for minute. Nor have I ever seen him on TV (since I basically never watch TV). As far as I know, I've never heard Rush's voice. To me, he's just like some mythological figure.

I'm trying not to feel personally responsible for the failure to do so, so I just keep repeating that to myself over and over.
What we need now, I suppose, is a November Cataclysm.
So long as the November Cataclysm isn't Obama winning the election (knock wood), I'll be fine with that.
BTW, was this search of yours the thing you were asking for lizard volunteers over the previous weekend for? And what WAS that about ANYway? Something you can talk about now? Or was it the situation you speculated might be: that it'd lead nowhere and thus not be worth talking about?

Among performing magicians, there are a very select few known as the Dynasty of Royal Magicians, and the next magician gets chosen only when the current one retires.
The current holder of the title is Lance Burton. The only other living member is the previous title holder, Lee Grable.
After retiring from professional performing in 1959, Lee Grable used the money he'd saved up to invest in real estate. He moved to Alamo, CA, which wasn't much more than a stretch of road between Danville and Concord at the time. However, it was his real estate investing is, at this writing, still responsible for more than half of the homes currently existing in Alamo!

Anecdote from last weekend that may be a harbinger for Tuesday:
Stopped to see an old friend in Connecticut on the way to visit our kid at college. Old friend's demographic profile:
-Grew up in Wellesley, Mass.
-Attended Milton Academy
-B.A. in psychology, Yale
-Ph.D. in psychology, U Penn
-now a tenured psych professor at Columbia
-solid Democrat until she finally got turned off by Clinton's sleaziness
-voted for Nader in '04 because she thought Kerry was a fool, but couldn't pull the lever for a Republican
-she and her husband both actively Jewish
-husband a lawyer turned consultant who has made his money the last few years in real estate investment/management; hammered by the Fannie/Freddie etc. mess
-husband has always been more conservative on economic issues, but basically a middle of the road voter from a Democratic heritage
Surprise 1: McCain-Palin sticker on the back of husband's truck. In southwest Connecticut, mind you.
Surprise 2: Old friend's reaction to Obama: "You can't fool me with that phony, pseudo-intellectual diplomatic bullshit. You'll sell out Israel the firs chance you get."
One data point, I know, but it's a data point that says something interesting.

Hi Dianna,
Some good news is breaking tonight, Zogby has McCain up by one, and Fox is ready to report tomorrow that McCain is up by two, looks like the undecided are breaking his way. And AP is reporting that Obama's aunt in Boston is an illegal immigrant, making contributions to Obama (illegal) and living in public housing (also illegal). and all that from the AP. Should be an interesting night on 11/4.

I made some use of that OpenSecrets.org donor list tonight, looking for my local zip codes. Mainly I was looking for the kook on the corner of Perkins & Arkansas who has a 3x9 foot "HOPE" sign on his porch facing the road. He's supposedly a photographer, dumbass has big glass sliding windows open to the road that practically scream "ROB ME", so he's not so bright and I'm not surprised by his electoral choice... I wondered if he was on the list. I did find one local dentist (who I will not be going to), and in the searches for my home zip back in MA, I found a number of names from my father's company. I'm going to look in my zip also, just to see if there are any businesses around here I should avoid.

re: #116 pat
The only bombshells will be on McCain and Palin. The fix is in.
I sincerely doubt it. McCain has been in politics for 30 years. Every detail of his life is known. Whatever they try to peddle, it will be old news, and no one will care.
He got divorced from his wife after returning from the torture chamber in Hanoi? Who cares. Old news.
He was peripherally involved in the Savings and Loan scandal nearly 20 years ago? Who cares. Old news.
His wife is a rich beer heiress? Who cares. Old news.
The Viet Cong made him say anything they wanted, by torturing him? Who cares. Old news.
He's had some health scares? Who cares. Old news.
I mean, what in the world could they dig up on John McCain that hasn't already been dug up a hundred times?
As for Palin -- the MSM is devoting half their resources to attacking her, and all they can come up with is trivial stuff -- her daughter isn't a virgin; she tried to fire a guy she was perfectly within her rights to fire; she's a social conservative; the GOP supplied her with designer clothes. And so on. Those are scandals? Forget it.

I, we, everyone, searched in vain for that big bombshell October Surprise which the MSM could not ignore -- but no one in the whole world could find it.
I've got what I consider a modest surprise -- novel and possibly compelling information for undecided voters.
However, it comes with a price. It will most likely cause unholy dread in the hearts of rational men. Just bear in mind that it's not really a surprise in the sense that it's information that's in the open, just not in places where American's are typically attuned to intelligence gathering; and it's certainly not publicized. Additionally, to bring information forward, it requires people are ready to handle cold hard truth like mature adults.
The problem is that non-mature adults may misinterpret the data and cause physical harm to others; especially as the data is ill-favored for The One.

WWI - France had apx. 7,500,000 men mobilized. Of these -- 1,385,000 were killed -- 4,266,000 were wounded, which gives us an apx. 75% casualty figure, and a decimated nation.

Aside from the 1933 masterpiece "All quiet on the Western Front", why aren't there any good "Great War" films?
Gallipoli with Mel Gibson was decent, but what else is there? Heck, I watched Legends of the Fall strictly for it's brief WWI scenes.

His wife is a rich beer heiress? Who cares.
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
McCain's wife is a rich beer heiress?
Why is America even bothering to have an election?
This all seems too easy. The next thing you'll be telling me is that Obama's wife isn't all that proud of America, until maybe recently, and she might be somewhat of a bitch.
Heaven forbid. What's next?
I suppose you'll tell me that the Republican candidate once lasted 5+ years in a Vietnamese prison camp, being tortured on a regular basis, and THAT'S why he can't raise his arms above his shoulders. Sure.
And then, I suppose you'll tell me that the Democrat's candidate has had a years-long relationship with radical leftists who worked murderously towards the US defeat in the same war in which the Republican's candidate was imprisoned for 5+ years.
Really, now. The only thing that could make this election all the more "stupider" is if you told me, the Democrat's candidate orated high regard for some terrorist mouthpiece - in front of those leftists, murderously dedicated to the US defeat in the same war in which the Republican's candidate was imprisoned for 5+ years - upon his move to say, some hotbed of anti-American, leftist bastion of higher education, perhaps, oh, I don't know... Columbia University?
And I suppose you're also going to tell me, that the Republican's candidate has been labeled as a "Maverick" for his 26 years of bucking the party line, but they have "only recently" started to portray him in a bad light.
Sure.

Yes, it is. However, as somebody from the Boston area whose taxes go in part to Boston via an arcane method known as the "Cherry Sheets" I personally am willing to cut an old woman some slack rather than be shipped back to that hellhole that Odinga has produced. It is possible to be compassionate towards her without being a socialist state. I think she needs to be held up as an icon of what 0bama represents. He lives in a mansion complements of Rezko who built slums in Chicago that are literally falling down and did not have heat. He earns a pile of money per year, but is not willing to aid his own family when they are in need. Contrast this with McCain whose wife shows up with a couple of kids from an orphanage in Bangladesh who need serious medical attention. He adopts one and one of his friends adopt another. Both kids are treated medically and are doing well today. The attitude of selfishness and selflessness could not me more contrasted than they are in the case of 0bama's family and McCain's family.

Using his best fake-Irish drogue, he quoted "For your president, you have to choose between a lawyer who's married to another lawyer, another lawyer who's married to yet another lawyer or a feckin' war-hero who's married to a feckin' brewery heiress. Do I have this right? What the feck is there to think about!?"

I ask you, does this sound like a guy who's confident of an easy victory? Or any victory?
'Muzzled' Biden's Halloween Present: A Press Avail
October 31, 2008 10:38 PMPerhaps it was the near-empty diner that left Biden with no alternative than answering questions from the media. When Biden walked into Kewpee, a small burger joint in Lima, Ohio, just after concluding his rally in this northwestern Buckeye State town, the senator found more reporters than diners.
“Everybody’s trick-or-treating,” he noted on this Halloween night.
Standing beside a large white sign that read, “No Loitering, Begging, Solicitation at any time,” Biden quickly gladhanded with the few diners before addressing the swarm of reporters. He cautioned that the upcoming election will be “closer than everybody thinks it is,” expressed hope that his friendship with rival Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., was still “intact,” and said that no matter what happens on Tuesday, “this is a mindset-changing election.”
While the Biden regularly rips the McCain campaign's “scurrilous attacks” on Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., tonight he hoped that his friendship with the Republican nominee was still strong.
“I don't know, I hope it's intact,” Biden said of the lawmakers’ relationship. “John and I haven't had a chance to speak.”
Noting that McCain’s latest ad was “positive,” Biden said he hopes, “John ends this campaign with his strength.”
“One of the things I've admired about John, and I've considered him, why I've considered him a friend, he does, he never gives up,” Biden said. “But so, and I just hope when it's over, win or lose, you walk up and you shake hands and say, 'John, we've got a lot of work to do.'”
"When this is over, win or lose, John and I are likely to be around, in one form or another, in one job or another," Biden predicted. "And I hope, uh, my hope is we can work together. Because folks, it sounds corny, you cannot do this stuff unless you start to get a little purple here. You can't make these big decisions. I mean, you need, you need cooperation, no matter how."
But before any post-election pleasantries are exchanged, Obama and Biden still have to defeat McCain and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin on Nov. 4. That’s why, Biden said, the Democratic team is campaigning in such a wide array of states.
"We’re going everywhere: Montana, Arizona,” he said, to name a few. “I mean, we’re everywhere we can be because … this election is going to be a lot closer than everybody thinks it is."
"We feel good, we look good, but it’s not over yet,” he cautioned, noting that he is “a politician who has run scared every single election.”
“The fact of the matter is that I have, I have done relatively well in my own elections,” Biden said. “But I have never, never, before the polls close, said, ‘Man, this is in the bag.'”
The Delaware lawmaker expressed confidence in Democrats’ chances in Pennsylvania and Virginia, but concern about their options in Florida, North Carolina, Missouri and Ohio.

Heard it a few hours ago and his explanation is sound but IMO ineffective...reason being that while our side will argue logically and in good faith, the left always argues in bad faith. They knew that the $400K charge was obfuscation but it doesn't matter to them as long as it blows smoke over the issue and the average, unengaged voter will call it a draw.

It sort of has in other ways.....mostly in the world of sports. I was in Tempe, Arizona 4 years ago when the Cardinals payed tribute to Pat Tillman in their home opener. Johnny Damon's redeemed himself as much as he possibly could while wearing a Yankees uniform by getting involved in the Wounded Warriors project and donating money and tickets. The Giants' Barry Zito started up a project called Strikeouts for Troops a few years back. The San Diego Chargers make it a point to have a meet & greet at Camp Pendleton each year while the Padres routinely host Marine recruits by the hundreds during Sunday home games (to the point where the Marine Corps Hymn plays on the stadium's PA system when they leave). I've heard of whole baseball teams visiting Walter Reed Medical center while in the area with little to no publicity....
But yes...a 10-minute block of time on national TV to honor fallen American soldiers would be decried as insipid and jingoistic by the people who's opinions somehow matter.

The de-Jesusing of Obama is underway:
Barack Obama’s senior advisers have drawn up plans to lower expectations for his presidency if he wins next week’s election, amid concerns that many of his euphoric supporters are harboring unrealistic hopes of what he can achieve.
They’ve been told to “believe”. And now it’s their fault?
The sudden financial crisis and the prospect of a deep and painful recession have increased the urgency inside the Obama team to bring people down to earth, after a campaign in which his soaring rhetoric and promises of “hope” and “change” are now confronted with the reality of a stricken economy.
Or “reality”, as it is otherwise known.
One senior adviser told The Times that the first few weeks of the transition, immediately after the election, were critical, “so there’s not a vast mood swing from exhilaration and euphoria to despair.”
Good call; you don’t want this lady turning up at the White House asking for free gas. Which wise advisor realised that Obama’s “heal the planet” nonsense may have gone too far?
The aide said that Obama himself was the first to realize that expectations risked being inflated.
Oh.

Heard it a few hours ago and his explanation is sound but IMO ineffective...reason being that while our side will argue logically and in good faith, the left always argues in bad faith. They knew that the $400K charge was obfuscation but it doesn't matter to them as long as it blows smoke over the issue and the average, unengaged voter will call it a draw. I know I'm stating the obvious but to these bastards all that counts is winning......
Oh sure, I completely agree, it matters not what kind of rational explanations we may give, they are all powerless against the teflon kid. I'm just glad that there is a logical explanation, for my own peace of mind.

On September 21, 2006, Berkeley Premium Nutraceuticals, its owner and president, Steven Warshak, and five other individuals were indicted by the United States, Southern District of Ohio, U.S. Attorney Greg Lockhart, on charges of conspiracy, money laundering, and mail, wire and bank fraud. The indictment alleged that the company defrauded consumers and banks of US$100 million. The United States Food and Drug Administration, Internal Revenue Service, United States Postal Inspection Service and other agencies participated in the investigation. The federal fraud trial began on January 8, 2008.In testimony during the trial, a former executive with Berkeley testified that the enhancements that the company claimed were given by use of Enzyte were fabricated, and the company defrauded customers by continuing to charge them for additional shipments of the supplement. He further testified that company employees were instructed to make it as difficult as possible for unhappy customers to receive refunds.
On February 22, 2008, Steven Warshak was found guilty of 93 counts of conspiracy, fraud and money laundering. On August 27, 2008 he was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Arthur Spiegel to 25 years in prison and ordered to pay $93,000 in fines. His company, Berkeley Premium Nutraceuticals, along with other defendants, was ordered to forfeit $500 million. His 75-year-old mother, Harriet Warshak, was sentenced to two years in prison.
No word whether it's a PMITA prison.

[snip] Three Islamist militants convicted over the Bali nightclub bombings that killed 202 people awaited execution Saturday as Indonesia stood guard against a feared extremist backlash.
Sensitive areas like foreign embassies, tourist spots, shopping malls and ports were under close guard. On the mainly Hindu resort island of Bali, 3,500 police were on the streets, officials said.
All executions in Indonesia are carried by firing squad, usually in the dead of night at undisclosed locations.
I guess we'll be hearing violent more news from Indonesia next week.

Another Idiot Teacher Alert: Vampire Drawing Gets Kid Called 'Gang Member'
Remember when you were a young school kid and you drew a vampire during the week of Halloween? Remember how the blood was always dripping down from his menacing, pearly white teeth? Remember how it was all in good Halloween fun? Well, you can just forget THAT mister, at least if you are a 5th-Grader in the Savannah-Chatham school system in Georgia. In Georgia, if you draw a vampire you get called a gang member -- even when you were assigned to make the drawing -- and then you get sent to "psychological evaluation" as if you are some mentally disturbed monster. Then they kick you out of school... for a Halloween drawing. Really.
The Savannah Morning News gives us the gruesome story of another touchy-feelie teacher gone stupid and another poor little kid lost in "zero-tolerance" hell this Halloween week.
When Jordan Hood was assigned the task of drawing a "scary Halloween mask," he innocently drew a scary vampire. His art teacher even helped him out with a few of the details. But then came home-room teacher Melissa Pevey (amusingly, even her name sounds pent up) who decided that, far from Halloween fun, little 5th-grader Jordan was obviously a violence prone, mentally disturbed, gang member. So in a harrowing Halloween experience that had no fun in it at all, Pevey had him paraded down to the principal's office where he was confronted by the police and assigned "psychological evaluation" as a punishment for his artistry.
Naturally, the school explained it all away and backed up this fool of a teacher. They said she was primed to "watch for gang signs" and that teacher Pevey thought that the blood drops looked like the sort of gang signs that the L.A. gang The Bloods use to denote their presence.
Needless to say, Jordan's Mother was not amused.
Jordan's mother, LaKisha Hood, was shocked to find that her son's art lesson had evolved into a gang investigation.
"They told me the droplets could actually be a gang symbol for the number of people he killed," she said.
OK, let's not underestimate the infiltration of gangs into our kid's lives. But, come on. When are these people going to use a little common sense? A nail file or set of clippers are NOT "deadly weapons." A kid having an aspirin is not the same as having "illegal drugs." A drawing of a gun is NOT evidence of a "mass murderer." And a crude drawing of a Halloween vampire is NOT proof of "gang activity!"
Now, this story is bad enough without the Associated Press misreporting it and making it almost sound plausible that this overwrought teacher was right to be worried.
The most important aspect of this story, the part that pretty much proves that the kid is the innocent victim of an overweening feminism in our schools, is the part where the vampire drawing was actually assigned to poor Jordan Hood by his art teacher. Yet, for some reason, the AP decided to exclude that salient point of the story.
Instead, the AP gives full hearing to the school system's absurd act of invoking gang worries in this case, it fully fleshes out the teacher's fears, yet never once mentions that this 5th-grader was assigned to draw the picture by another teacher.
Perhaps teacher Pevey might have legitimately had something to worry about if this kid was drawing these blood "tears" unbidden. But he wasn't. It was a class room assignment, one that his art teacher helped him with.
So, why did the AP exclude the one aspect of the story that tends to prove that the school acted stupidly here? Your guess is as good as mine. It looks to me like an editorial decision to side with the school's untenable position and not the kid's logical grievance.

AP: Obama aunt from Kenya living in US illegally
WASHINGTON (AP) - Barack Obama's aunt, a Kenyan woman who has been quietly living in public housing in Boston, is in the United States illegally after an immigration judge rejected her request for asylum four years ago, The Associated Press has learned.
Zeituni Onyango, 56, referred to as "Aunti Zeituni" in Obama's memoir, was instructed to leave the United States by a U.S. immigration judge who denied her asylum request, a person familiar with the matter told the AP late Friday. This person spoke on condition of anonymity because no one was authorized to discuss Onyango's case.

In "Encounter at Farpoint", the very first episode of "Star Trek: The Next Generation", the Enterprise crew find themselves being tested by an omnipotent being named Q. They must solve the mystery of Farpoint Station, or Q will deem humanity worthless and wipe them all out.
At the end of the first half of this episode, Commander Riker is a little worried and asks, "What are we going to do, sir?" Captain Picard's reply works perfectly as a reply to all the Eeyores in this election:
"Do? We're going to do exactly what we'd do if this Q never existed. If we're going to be damned, let's be damned for what we really are!"

I won't forget how Ayer, Dohrn and the other Weather Underground fuckwits would've spit on McCain as soon as he stepped off the plane if they had the chance. I won't forget how Dave Gilbert and Kathy Boudin MURDERED TWO POLICEMEN AND AN ARMOURED TRUCK GUARD and when the law caught up to them, not only could they count on their Weather Underground buddies Ayes and Dohrn to raise their child in their upscale Hyde Park home, but the red diaper Boudin kid would somehow miraculously be awarded a Rhodes scholarship in 2002.

As a former 11M, I will not 'lighten up' when a Simpsons, Family Guy, Redacted, In the Valley of Elah Stoploss or some other piece of shit from Hollywood decides to go out of its way to slander out soldiers, sailors, Marines or airmen.

I read here yesterday that some of the pollsters were getting up to an 80% no-response rate. That's people who say "no, thank you", who hang up, or who - like me - don't even answer the phone.
If that is even close to being the truth, you can forget about looking at the weighting of Reps to Dems. None of that matters. The polls are essentially worthless.

Zombie, one thing you touched upon in your report is Obama’s Pakistani drug dealer. From your links this looks like a source of funding and possibly gun running.
[Riehlworldview]
"By 1980 at Occidental Obama ran partly with a circle of wealthy, drug using Pakistani friends. He traveled to Pakistan between Occidental and Columbia in 1981. That was during the Second Military Era (1977-1988) - Pakistan was under Sharia Law and not the most welcoming to foreign visitors, especially without some graft or connections."
Maybe Obama did not stop using cocaine and built up a habit and had to go into rehab.
Maybe Obama facilitated his expensive education with the help of drug money.
Or worse, maybe Obama facilitated the import of guns and explosives via his Pakistan drug friend.
Other than getting Obama medical records or his passport records, the only real way to find out is find this Paki drug guy and a get the information out of him.

I think in the end, it's going to be a plumber from Ohio that sinks The One. Not just because he caught him in an unguarded moment and caused him to admit that he's a socialist, but because of the overkill response of the Messiah's acolytes toward an innocent man. Except of course, in their eyes he's guilty- of asking a question no "right-thinking" news reporter would ever consider asking for a split-second.
Here in OH, it's become a statewide scandal, mostly carried by newspapers (because the TV news groups have apparently been told by their masters in NYC to stay away from it). A lot of resentment has been building up since the '06 election, not against Ted Strickland, the governor, but against his underlings. (The Mark Dann case was just the tip of the iceberg.) And now that Strickland is seen as covering for, first Brunner and her shady dealings and constant court fights, and now his ODJFS director and her "investigation", it's started to boomerang on him, and the entire Democratic party machine in the Buckeye State.
The gist being that they came into office claiming that they wanted to "clean up government", but have proven that their definition of "clean" is everyone else's definition of "corrupt" and even "dangerous".
I'm going out on a limb and predict that if everyone who is pissed off at this in Ohio votes Tuesday, Obama loses Ohio. And without Ohio, his chances of getting to 270 electoral votes are slim.
I'm also going to predict that one way or another, Ohio will have a new governor in 2010. Because Strickland will either be defeated- or will pull an LBJ and announce that he is not running for re-election.
Which means that Ohio could easily have its first African-American Governor in that year. Namely, conservative Republican J. Kenneth Blackwell, who barely lost to Strickland two years ago.
BTW, here in OH, the "If you don't support The One, you're a racist!" meme doesn't fly. Because the vast majority of McCain supporters, like me, simply respond with, "I voted for Blackwell for Governor last time. You were saying?"
Reality is a wonderful thing. Progressives should try it sometime.

Hiya Teacake! :-)
As if we don't have enough to worry about...
There’s a huge and much-overlooked reason for filling in those gaps in Barack Obama’s resume, and letting America’s voters see any and all tapes, transcripts and other documentation of his career and friendships — and fast. It’s called the potential for blackmail.
Actually, full daylight is the only way to be reasonably sure that Obama himself is safe from blackmail. If voters have seen the worst of it, and don’t mind — well, OK. But if there is damaging information still unknown to the public, but known to somebody out there, then Obama — if he wins the presidency — could make a tempting target.

Tell me about it. I've had "progressives" go off in my face, calling Blackwell all the worst epithets- "U. T.", "Cookie", etc.
The majority of them never see the hypocrisy in their own rhetoric. To me, this is just more evidence that the reason many "progressives" seem incapable of rational, coherent thought- is because they are genuinely incapable of anything even resembling it.
All they know is how they "feel" about things.

for McCain supporters: It's not over! We CAN win if we get out there and vote to support McCain, or at least to oppose the Chosen One.
For Obama supporters: Don't worry about it. It's in the bag. You can safely stay home and relax. The Chosen One will take care of everything for you. Heck, he'll even go out and vote for you.

re: #424 littleoldlady
I love you, eon! You're so smart! :-)
Yes, countrywide Joe the Plumber definitely turned the tide.
But look at the states, too. In Iowa, they're mad about the caucuses. In Florida it was the delegate mess. Here in PA, we have so many wonderful adjectives to live up to! (Being maligned by our own elected officials is such a treat, donja know!) OHIO? Lordy, lordy! So much to choose from!
Either way, all of us citizens have a big mess to clean up after this election. It would be nice to be able to do it out in the open - under McCain.
Aww, shucks.
(blushes)
Seriously, the sheer number of scandals in various states is causing a groundswell of resentment against the "political class" in general. And due to their being the ones largely responsible for the policies that caused the resentment, it is the Democrats that are most likely to feel the heat.
There is also their "attitude" problem. Here in my home district, the Dem candidate for the House seat of David Hobson (a well known and little-respected RINO who is retiring because the GOP told him he didn't have a hope in Hell of getting nominated again) isn't even running ads- because after one debate with her opponent, Steven Austria (A Hobson protege' who is distancing himself from Hobson's "policies"), her favorables dropped so low they were only detectable with a tricorder.
In the debate, she lost the audience when, on energy, she parroted San Fran Nan's shibboleths of "we can't drill our way out of this" and "we're trying to save the planet". Austria, by comparison, broke with Hobson over capping oil wells in Ohio (Hobson wants them capped, Austria uncapped) and nuclear power (Austria for, Hobson wants to "study it"- forever), as well as Second Amendment rights.
In 1993, I had a personal interview with Hobson on this subject. He told me that he would not vote for the Assault Weapon Ban, and that anyway, the Dems really didn't want to "ban all guns". This was the Tuesday after Dianne Feinstein's infamous Meet The Press appearance in which she said "I want people to turn them all in, right now, but I'll settle for getting the assault guns now, and the rest of them later."
After he voted for the ban, he sent me a letter stating that, in return for his vote, the Dems promised that some things he wanted would get passed. "Surely you see" he wrote, "that this agreement is reasonable?"
I wrote back, "I see that you lied to me. I voted for you once. Never again. In every election you run in after this, I will vote for your opponent in the primary. And in the general election, I will vote for neither you or your opponent. I will also tell everyone else I know to do the same- and why. Have a nice career."
He lasted 8 terms with decreasing voter approval every term. His predecessor, Clarence Miller, a hardcore 2nd Amendment fundamentalist, was there for 22 years after three terms as Mayor of Lancaster. And finally only retired due to age. Hobson ain't that old.
The point of this being that politicians notice when you tell them off. Or at least, the non-"progressive" ones do.
Austria has already noticed, and he isn't even in office yet. His opponent has been told by her party, officially, "fugeddaboutit". Even Miss Brunner can't put her in the Capitol Building, and they know it.
This is power. Never be afraid to use it.
cheers

re: #458 eon
In 1993, I had a personal interview with Hobson on this subject. He told me that he would not vote for the Assault Weapon Ban, and that anyway, the Dems really didn't want to "ban all guns". This was the Tuesday after Dianne Feinstein's infamous Meet The Press appearance in which she said "I want people to turn them all in, right now, but I'll settle for getting the assault guns now, and the rest of them later."
---
The exact quote (which I think I have on videotape somewhere in my archives) is from "60 Minutes," February 5, 1995:
If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States for an out right ban, picking up every one of them... 'Mr. and Mrs. America, turn 'em all in,' I would have done it. I could not do that. The votes weren't here.
--U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein
If she said something similar in 1993 on Meet The Press, I'm not aware of it. That would have been rather early in the Clinton Administration, and the "assault weapons" ban was passed in 1994. I don't think she would have been that up front with her intentions that early...

Morning, everyone. I'm awake much earlier than I want to be, but I can't stop coughing.
Went to the doctor yesterday finally and he gave me three meds to help get rid of the end of this cold. Lucky me. Thankfully, one of them is a pretty strong cough suppressant, as that's been the thing wearing me out.

Cross posting here because the JtP thread is old...
Regadring JtP I sent this to my state senators on their contact page, and to the Ohio senators as well.
Go Joe! Illegitimi non carborundum!
Senator [],
I am writing to you because I want you to see the email I have sent my own State senators, [blank] and [blank]. I urge you to further stand for the cause of justice and civil rights by acting on this disgusting abuse that has occurred in *your* state.
Senator [],
I urge you to stand up for the cause of freedom and civil rights
that your party purports themselves to be the champions of. The
investigation and subsequent trashing of Joe Wurzelbacher (Joe
the plumber) after the incident of him questioning Barack Obama
is something I find disgusting and un-American in every way.
Not only was he hounded and his private life intruded upon by the
media in a very distasteful manner, but it is also coming to
light that in the form of a police state he has been unlawfully
investigated by officials of the state of Ohio. Please refer to this article:
[Link: www.columbusdispatch.com...]
A quote:
"Vanessa Niekamp said that when she was asked to run a
child-support check on Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher on Oct. 16, she
thought it routine. A supervisor told her the man had contacted
the state agency about his case.
Niekamp didn’t know she just had checked on “Joe the Plumber,”
who was elevated the night before to presidential politics
prominence as Republican John McCain’s example in a debate of an
average American.
The senior manager would not learn about “Joe” for another
week, when she said her boss informed her and directed her to
write an e-mail stating her computer check was a legitimate
inquiry.
The reason Niekamp said she was given for checking if there was a
child-support case on Wurzelbacher does not match the reason
given by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services."
Quite frankly Senator [] this stinks to high heaven.
You and your party have always said that you stand for the little
guy, this is your chance to prove it so. I demand that an
official investigation of the abuse of state and official power be
undertaken and that those found responsible for this gross and
outrageous abuse of power be appropriately punished. Please do
the right thing here!
America is not a third world police state, the constitution is a
document that protects the rights of the citizen against
unchecked abuse by our government, and that is the root of
what is happening to Joe Wurzelbacher! This cannot stand and I
call upon you to do whatever you can to bring this matter to
justice.
Thank you for your service,
ht

Otto the Octopus got pissed off
A octopus has caused havoc in his aquarium by performing juggling tricks using his fellow occupants, smashing rocks against the glass and turning off the power by shortcircuiting a lamp.
Staff believe that the octopus called Otto had been annoyed by the bright light shining into his aquarium and had discovered he could extinguish it by climbing onto the rim of his tank and squirting a jet of water in its direction.
The short-circuit had baffled electricians as well as staff at the Sea Star Aquarium in Coburg, Germany, who decided to take shifts sleeping on the floor to find out what caused the mysterious blackouts.
A spokesman said: "It was a serious matter because it shorted the electricity supply to the whole aquarium that threatened the lives of the other animals when water pumps ceased to work.
"It was on the third night that we found out that the octopus Otto was responsible for the chaos.
"We knew that he was bored as the aquarium is closed for winter, and at two feet, seven inches Otto had discovered he was big enough to swing onto the edge of his tank and shoot out a the 2000 Watt spot light above him with a carefully directed jet of water."
Director Elfriede Kummer who witnessed the act said: "We've put the light a bit higher now so he shouldn't be able to reach it. But Otto is constantly craving for attention and always comes up with new stunts so we have realised we will have to keep more careful eye on him - and also perhaps give him a few more toys to play with.
"Once we saw him juggling the hermit crabs in his tank, another time he threw stones against the glass damaging it. And from time to time he completely re-arranges his tank to make it suit his own taste better - much to the distress of his fellow tank inhabitants."
Can. Not. Make. This. Stuff. Up.

Obama's lottery to win backstage passes for election night revival illegal?
There is a lot of stuff breaking with illegal campaign appeals Michelle Obama made today that we’re in the middle of — basically, the Obama campaign violated state law by offering a backstage seat with Obama on election night for $25 donations. Remember, Obama has been charging press thousands and thousands of dollars for backstage access — so that $25 you contribute is an entry into a lottery that could win you a prize worth thousands. State law around the country bars a political campaign from holding a lottery like this. Why can’t a news outlet enter this and hopefully win a pass for $25 instead of ponying up the thousands Obama is charging to be back there? Shockingly, Chicago media is asking this question — since it was BURNED big time by those Obama demands for large payouts for access to the Election Night event.
Obama believs no one can touch him on things like this — but others in Chicago believe he may have stepped too far.

This just in, an email from our adopted soldier - he's at Camp Bucca, a detainee facility that houses approx 18,000 detainees.
It seems as thetime goes by, the leadership comes up with more dumb stuff for us to do.
I don't always see the big picture but the small ones are killing me. I
think the plans call for all the detainees to be released and I
understand that. What I don't get is, they keep giving us compounds
(Detention Facilities) to run, then move the detainees and close the
compounds. This happens once a month. Every time, we make improvements
and beautify the damn compounds, then we close them and go to another
broken down compound.
Hmmm. So we're closing down detainee compounds.

I have a question. (I love asking questions.)
So we've all heard about ACORN and registration and what appears to be a serious attempt at voter fraud in the election on Tuesday. But I haven't heard of anyone complaining about voter fraud during the primaries, and I just stopped to realize it. Yes, there were allegations by Hillary's camp that certain improprieties took place in the caucus meetings, but I know of no voting issues in the primaries.
Am I blissfully forgetting some important news, or was there little the way of vote tampering during the primaries? I should know, but the drugs are making me sleepy, and I can't recall.

Thanks for the link. Even more interesting is this one Eeyore Free Zone
The National Center for Public Polling says to ALWAYS ask the following questions about any poll:
1. Who did the poll?
2. Who paid for the poll and why was it done?
3. How many people were interviewed for the survey?
4. How were those people chosen?
5. What area (nation, state, or region) or what group (teachers,lawyers, Democratic voters, etc.) were these people chosen from?
6. Are the results based on the answers of all the people interviewed?
7. Who should have been interviewed and was not? Or do response rates matter?
8. When was the poll done?
9. How were the interviews conducted?
10. What about polls on the Internet or World Wide Web?
11. What is the sampling error for the poll results?
12. Who’s on first?
13. What other kinds of factors can skew poll results?
14. What questions were asked?
15. In what order were the questions asked?
16. What about “push polls?”
17. What other polls have been done on this topic? Do they say the same thing? If they are different, why are they different?
18. What about exit polls?
19. What else needs to be included in the report of the poll?
20. So I’ve asked all the questions. The answers sound good. Should we report the results?

this digger will be recommended for a bravery award
DESPITE being shot twice during an ambush in Afghanistan, an SAS soldier lashed himself to the front of his patrol vehicle so he wouldn't be left behind if he passed out from loss of blood and kept on fighting.
The Digger is expected to be recommended for a high-level bravery award.
Suffering from serious upper-body wounds, the soldier struggled on to the front of his SAS long range patrol vehicle and, under heavy fire, used a rope to attach himself firmly between the vehicle's bull bar and radiator.
Once he was secured, and there was no chance he would fall off if he fainted, he picked up his DM-4 assault rifle and resumed firing at the enemy during a two-hour fighting withdrawal.
Special Air Service troops and their comrades from the Commando Regiment are well aware of the slow and painful death that awaits those captured by the Taliban.
The Digger, who cannot be identified, faded in and out of consciousness, emptying several magazines as volleys of enemy rounds from high-powered AK-47 assault rifles and rocket- propelled grenades rained down around him.
He was finally evacuated from the battlefield at high speed still lashed to the front of the LRPV.
I'm in awe at this man's bravery - thanks so much akak for posting about this!

I suspect that a number of former associates are hoping that McCain wins. Marxists in power tend to disappear former associates that know too much. If McCain wins they can deal for witness protection programs.
That might well work for disenchanted party workers as well. The crap is going to float to the top of the cesspool and I think a lot of people are going to bail as soon as they can.
If they are thuggish on people they don't know (JOE), imagine what they would do to someone they thought disloyal on the inside. IfWhen he loses on Tuesday, it is going to be horrible to watch.

re: #609 little blessing
There may be rioting in other states as well.
My mum (lives in CO) told a "pollster" from an environmental group that she voted McCain in early voting. Later she told me that she regretted saying it as "now they know were I live".
your mother's statement "now they know where i live", just shows what kind of fear the obama dem machine has inspired in american citizens. it is frightening to think that such coercion and intimidation is the under current of politics today.
people are looking around and seeing what libs do to those who disagree w/ them and it is not a pretty picture. we have seen this before in history.

re: #594 gregg
Chicago Mayor Daley thinks up to 1 million people will be at Obama's election night rally in Grant Park. What if Obama loses the election? A million angry people gathered in downtown Chicago. I guess we're lucky that Chicago is such a peaceful city, otherwise things could get out of hand.
This could be awful, a cataclysm.
99% of them will arrive convinced that the Messiah has already won and the election is just a formality. If anything to the contrary comes in, all hell will break loose. All the security forces who could arrive before dawn on the 5th could not control a mob one quarter that size. If you're in Chicago, be somewhere else that night. If you're in the suburbs, where people are allowed to have guns, well, you know what to do.
Even so, do not be deterred from voting your conscience.
The combined armies and police forces of Eurabia, reinforced by howling hordes of entitlement hounds and hosts of moonbats, could be bearing down on my hometown as the polls open, and I would still defy them by voting for a real American, John S. McCain.

What we need now, I suppose, is a November Cataclysm.

Leftist threats of violence are building toward a crescendo. Moonbat literary poseur Erica Jong has declared that blood will run in the streets if McCain wins.
The universal response among loyal Americans seems to be "bring it!" A lot of people are fed up with half a century of leftist lies, treason, and theft, and itching for a showdown.
Advice:
Obey the law.
Arm yourself and have a plan prepared.
Protect yourself, your family, and your rights.
Protect your property and your neighbors.
Support the lawfully constituted authorities in any manner they ask.
Make sure you know what the law is and OBEY IT.

MA State Senator Dianne Wilkerson has ended her write-in campaign.
You know you're screwed when the city's black ministers are ready to throw her under the bus.
Hell to pay
Ministers turn up heat on Dianne Wilkerson to step down
Disgraced state Sen. Dianne Wilkerson must relinquish her seat by Wednesday or face the wrath of the city’s most powerful black ministers, the Herald has learned.
One of the ministers who helped broker the career-ending deal during an “emotional” meeting yesterday said Wilkerson agreed to end her write-in campaign immediately and quit her Senate seat next week - or face an uprising by city ministers.

As in music? We're blues fans but I pretty much like most kinds of music except pop, rap, and the current rash of insipid girl singers
Love AccaDacca, and other Aussie rockers.....
I love the blues also..But when you raise 2 girls and 3 boys you had better be able to listen to 50 cent coming from the bedroom..
Our oldest girl is a led head...God I love that girl..When she would drive and pop in a hard rock CD and ask..Is that too loud for you daddy-o?
Nope..You go girl..

The case gets even murkier. The Dispatch, which has done yeoman work on this story, got the public records surrounding the Wurzelbacher inquiry — but Niekamp’s e-mail wasn’t included. Nor did the records indicate any redaction or gap, as required by law. Afterwards, a spokesperson for Governor Ted Strickland acknowledged the omission, saying that Niekamp’s status as a child-welfare agent exempted them from providing her e-mail.
What’s becoming apparent is that Ohio officials have something to hide. The records-check request came from an assistant deputy director for child support. When the story went public, the deputy director “literally demanded” Niekamp write the e-mail that would get them off the hook. The agency’s leadership engaged in a cover-up — and that strongly implies that a crime got committed.
Niekamp told the Dispatch that she’s seen people get fired for unauthorized records checks, and that she herself fired one employee for the violation of public trust. This has gone beyond just a mere firing. It now looks as though Helen Jones-Kelley’s staff engaged in an attempt to obstruct justice, and Jones-Kelley’s lie about the Famous People Records Check appears to be part of it

This article is astounding. Basically Daley makes the Secret Service responsible for everything?
And the Ego of the 0bamanation tells him that instead of going to a hotel for a victory/concession speech, he goes to an outdoor arena with no real crowd control to stand as the annointed one or as the detanator if he looses.
And if all Hell does break loose, it will be recorded in the media that they warned us about racial tension and another Civil War caused by white people who voted against the best canidate simply because he was BLACK.
The trampling will be just the poor victims of racism and once again American Imperialism rejected the poor and middle class...

I wouldn't bet on that. Even the EU is rethinking their carbon goals. Altho' the Brits met yesterday to set their goals for the next 50 years - they did it in the earliest snowfall they've had since 1922. And France/24 TV reported that 60% of Brits no longer give credence to the idea that global warming is man made - if it exists at all.
Yes the evidence is there but our Dear Leader wants to be the FIRST in the world to impose this tax and he's not going to be deterred

Obambi's aunt has been donating $$ to his campaign
[Link: www.boston.com...]
South Boston has had a lot of famous political names over the years: John Joseph Moakley, William M. Bulger, Louise Day Hicks.
Now, Americans can add another one to the neighborhood roster: Zeituni Onyango.
Barack Obama's campaign confirmed yesterday that Onyango, who lives in a brick public housing complex on a side street not far from the headquarters of the Iron Workers, Local 7, is the senator's aunt.
Ben LaBolt, a campaign spokesman, declined to comment further on the Democratic presidential nominee's relationship with Onyango, who has lived in the complex for five years.
In a neighborhood known for producing generations of legendary Irish-American politicians, news that the town is home to the Kenyan relative of a presidential candidate was a shock.
State Representative Brian P. Wallace, a Democrat who lives a few blocks from Onyango, said he had heard rumors over the summer that Obama had an aunt living in the neighborhood.
"Obama's aunt living in Southie?" he said. "I thought somebody was putting me on."
Yesterday, as word spread that Onyango was Obama's aunt, Wallace was bursting with pride.
"I think it's great to have her," he said. "Maybe her nephew will visit."
Onyango is Obama's paternal aunt, one of several children of the senator's grandfather, Hussein Onyango Obama. In his memoir, "Dreams From My Father," Obama refers to Onyango affectionately as Aunt Zeituni and recalls that she was the first person to greet him when he stepped off a plane for the first time in Kenya.
" 'Welcome home,' Zeituni said, kissing me on both cheeks," Obama wrote.
Onyango, who is paid a small stipend for working as a health advocate in her housing complex, has shunned attention. Yesterday morning, she ignored a television camera, saying nothing to several reporters as she walked out of her first-floor apartment, handed a duffle bag to the driver of a taxicab, and was driven off.
For three years, she was a volunteer with Experience Corps, a nonprofit that trains adults over 55 to work with children in public schools, said Mary Gunn, the group's executive director.
In a profile on the Experience Corps website, Onyango is described as a "former computer systems coordinator" who says she wanted to volunteer in the schools because "I felt that I should help the children in my community."
"I love people and enjoy interacting with them," Onyango said. "Also, I was idle, and this was a chance to get involved."
Gunn said Onyango is a wonderful person, but said, "Zeituni wishes for me not to comment, and I want to honor her wish."
During visits to her building Wednesday morning and afternoon, and in a phone conversation Wednesday night, Onyango made clear her desire to stay out of the way of her nephew's campaign. "We'll talk after the election," she said. "Come talk to me after the fifth."
A city housing official who visited Onyango this week found the walls of her apartment adorned with photographs of Obama, including some that appeared to be more than two decades old.
"She's been a model resident," said William McGonagle, deputy director of the Boston Housing Authority. "She did a remarkable job as a resident health advocate."
Federal Election Commission records show that Onyango donated at least five times to her nephew's campaign in July and September. Three of the donations were for $5 each, and two of the donations were for $25. Records compiled by The Huffington Post show she gave a total of $260 to the campaign.

Did you see that story the other day where the Japanese Air Force chief said Japan was not the agressor in WWII but was trapped into it by the U.S.?
Japan's defence minister said today he will sack the air force chief of staff for saying that Japan was ensnared into World War Two by the United States and was not an aggressor in the conflict in Asia.
General Toshio Tamogami's essay, posted on the website of a Japanese hotel and apartment developer, was expected to rouse anger in China and South Korea, where memories of Japan's wartime acts and colonisation run deep.

"In Congress, we have a red button, a green button and a yellow button, alright?" he said. "Green means 'yes,' red means 'no,' and yellow means you're a chickens***. And the last thing we need in the White House, in the oval office, behind that big desk, is some chicken who wants to push this yellow button."

Greets and saluts from the NYC metro area. It's cool and crisp here, kind of like the way I like my scandals. Ohio has one hell of a scandal breaking with the way that the state's bigwigs are covering up a major breach with how they investigated Joe the Plumber using computer database searches in violation of state law.
As bad as the criminal acts were - the accessing of the databases illegally, the coverup is invariably worse.
We're talking about politicians lying to cover their asses and heads of major departments lying to cover up their intentions as to why the searches were conducted in the first place. One paper has been on top of this, the Columbus Dispatch, while the rest of the media is pretty much taking a powder on this. It's unforgivable, and it's good to see that someone in the media takes their job and obligations seriously.
Jones-Kelley must pay for her criminal acts, and lying to subordinates to get them to run computer searches is the least of her problems now. She's now lying about her own actions and those of her subordinates to try and somehow claim that this is routine. That's utter nonsense and she knows it. Ohio's Governor must take action, or else he too faces questions about his motives.

Good morning/afternoon/evening/night, Lizard Nation!
We're into the last few minutes of the match, figuratively speaking, and as the end is in sight, this is the time to give everything, spare nothing. Or so the best coaches will tell their players ...
There is a definite change in the wind - even the cartoonist for the TIMES (London) seems to feel it. He came up with this beauty today!
Enjoy - and for those who don't know what 'Allmouthus notrousus' means - its the kitchen Latin/spoof zoology translation for the good old British derogatory remark 'he's all mouth and no trousers!'

"In Congress, we have a red button, a green button and a yellow button, alright?" he said. "Green means 'yes,' red means 'no,' and yellow means you're a chickens***. And the last thing we need in the White House, in the oval office, behind that big desk, is some chicken who wants to push this yellow button."
All that "present" voting is not the act of idealistic leader, chomping at the bit to make a difference. It is the act of a viper, coiling and getting ready to strike.

A particularly fascinating topic to me is Obama's concept of "fairness". When we think of board games, card games, any sport whatsoever - basketball, baseball, football, soccer, boxing - fairness consists of having an equal chance to win, or as equal as we can make it. We do NOT administer "fairness" by dividing up the score or whatever the assets involved are after the game. Yet this seems to be exactly what Obama's idea of "fairness" is - at least as far as everybody else is concerned.
His discussion of the capital gains tax with Charlie Gibson was particularly interesting. It starts in the 2nd paragraph of this text.
And here is the video. It makes it clear that he doesn't necessarily want to help the less rich - he simply resents success and wants to take money from the successful and as a result, have less money for the poor. Like -"It's not fair if you win the game, so we'll take some of your points and give it to the losing team." Fair? Weird.

I'm doing well... the Marathon is tomorrow morning, but the weather is supposed to be pretty good - sunny and not too warm, but there's a bit of wind in the forecast that might hinder the top runners from breaking any records.
The media is ignoring the story. The NYT doesn't even have anything on it. MSNBC? Nada.
They simply aren't interested in a scandal of what's growing into epic proportions - because of the coverup no less. It's sad.

yes, he certainly didn't want to show himself. he has been very good at sitting on the fence, thinking that he is not committing himself to a view point.
however, fence sitting is a view point.
he is either masking who he is or he actually has no opinions.
his rhetoric in his speeches is also just voting "present". he seldom says anything concrete when he speaks unless he makes a mistake and answers honestly, like to joe the plumber.
