Landslide watch

I just heard through the grapevine, that my racist grandfather, who hasn't voted for a Democrat since Truman, is planning on voting for Obama.

There are other factors, but I think this illustrates the sheer stupidity of the Palin pick. The Edwards voters in Kentucky and West Virginia (long after he exited the race, and in a democratic primary election) should've pointed out that the bigot vote doesn't like African Americans or Women. By picking Palin, McCain really neutralized his natural demographic advantage with those voters.

Break their backs

Man, winning makes Kos a psychopath.

Dean Reynolds

What a gigantic crybaby.

I just finished read The Boys on the Bus, which is a pretty vicious account of the press corp. during the 1976 campaign. If anything, it appears that things have gotten worse.

He's losing it

I'd be terrified if I wasn't so sure we're going to win.

It's Over

We're going to win this election. It won't even be close. Obama's field organization is so good that we'll probably win every state currently within the margin of error.

Today is the last day to register to vote in Missouri, and we've already registered more voters in this state than the margin between Bush and Kerry in 2004. And the polls have us beating McCain among voters who voted in 2004. We're going to win Missouri.

I would invite you all to start thinking along the same lines at Tim Noah.

Kick Ass

I've long argued that political reform in this country is made a lot easier by the fact that the world currently has a bunch of fairly well functioning Democracies. Instead of theorizing about political systems, like the 76ers did, we can simply observe other political systems and pick and choose what works best.

With that in mind, I heartily endorse South Korea's decision making process.

Ladies against Women Unite!

Well, isn't this precious.
