OT: Seems Sarah palin's got a Ted Steven's problem. It's obvious that Todd didn't built the house by himself. It appears that she is as corrupt as Stevens.
MSNBC is reporting the big push now by the McCain campaign accusing leftists of voter fraud.....
I am so tired of this crap......ACORN just registers names....they are required by law to turn in all forms and it is up to the Board of Elections to determine which ones are valid...
Morning Joe was going on and on about ACORN too....big headlines at Drudge.....they are really pushing this.

There is video of McCain at ACORN meetings. He was engaged with ACORN as recently as 2006. I don't see the fraud anyway. They never explain exactly what the fraud is. Either you are registered, or you are not registered.

Actually blackwolf, I was thinking about you when I wrote that in anger and thought maybe it was way too over the top. But the thought is in a lot of people's minds right now...especially in Dallas. We are famous for that shit here. I think a whole lot of us are very nervous about what lies ahead. And also elated with such hope that we CAN elect a skinny black guy with a funny name. That we HAVE come that far since the mid sixties. I don't know. I am just scared. For the first time in my long 58 years I am actually scared.

"William Ayers: Funded by Republicans
The Annenbergs-- Republicans. Bankrolled William Ayers with $50 million
But Walter and Leonore weren't just giving money to educational foundations started by William Ayers. They were also giving hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Republican National Committee and various other Republican groups, as well as to a whole host of Republican candidates, including the following:
George W. Bush $4000 Mitt Romney $5000 Strom Thurmond $1000 Fred Thompson $500 Rick Santorum $3000 Rick Santorum-- former Republican Senator. Received $3000 from Ayers' backers.
Why would billionaire Republican philanthropists give millions of dollars to a program that was working with William Ayers? Why would George W., Mitt Romney, Fred Thompson and all those other Republicans accept money from the people who were funding this William Ayers-associated group? Why won't McCain discuss these connections between the Republican Party and Ayers?
Here's the icing on the cake: just yesterday, the McCain campaign put out a press release bragging about the fact that Leonore Annenberg has endorsed him for president. Yes, you heard it-- a McCain backer bankrolled William Ayers with millions of dollars.
More icing: You know that Republican Arnold Weber I mentioned earlier? The one that served on the board of the CAC with Barack? Not only did he work with William Ayers in the 90's, he has also donated at least $1000 to the McCain campaign. That's right-- McCain is accepting money from associates of William Ayers, and so far has not given the money back.
I'm feeling a little cheated. Months ago I was promised an October surprise. It's already October 9th, and all I've heard is that Barack knows a guy who's been working with McCain supporters and Republicans since the mid 90's."
I just heard something that surprised me. A Republican mouthpiece was just on and reminded us that Mitt Romney was leading in the primaries 3 WEEKS before the vote and McCain came from behind to beat Romney.
If Obama keeps holding steady and makes no mistakes I think he will win but still McCain, for all his campaign follies, makes me nervous. Actually it is not McCain as much as the American voter that makes me nervous.

The dynamics in a primary are far different than in the GE. I'm not ruling anything out, but your comparison is apples and oranges. You'd need to look at a GE where a candidate make a 10-point swing in the last three weeks. Also, the dynamic is totally different this year, where 33 percent of people will have voted before election day. (I have)

You can tell that the McCain campaign is in trouble when they decide to send Palin to our small city in the heart of Republican territory in Central New Hampshire. Dear Sarah will be campaigning here on Wednesday, and Barack will be down the road on Thursday. http://www.laconiademocrats.org

Arriana Huffington says today: In Newsweek's new poll, McCain has a 10-point lead on national security -- the only remaining issue voters trust him more on. As the one arrow left in McCain's quiver -- other than appealing to racists -- national security becomes the likeliest playing field for an October Surprise. So Obama and Biden need to make a concerted effort to neutralize the issue by going directly at McCain's supposed strong suit. The best line of attack would be drawing attention to McCain's actual record. His national security rep in 2008 is as over-inflated as the housing bubble was in 2005.

I can't imagine what surprise Chimpy could manufacture for his friend. Perhaps provoke Iran. But Iran might not bite. A foreign policy surprise is the only remaining worry I have about the election. Otherwise, it's in the bag for Obama if we all do as much as we can to help get out the vote.

Y'know, they get newspapers in Iran, too. It's almost a given that they wouldn't bite -- they know that would give the election to the one man most likely to kill lots of Iranians. Bin Laden wants war in the Middle East, which is why he backs Republicans. Governments mostly don't.

I saw that video of McCain saying "We've got them right where we want them," and I was on the floor. It was like a silly comedy where the skinny kid is pinned down by the big bully and saying, "Now I've got him right where I want him." Does McAmbien realize how ridiculous that line sounds at this point?

With the shape Bush is leaving this country in, I'm not sure why Obama even wants the gig. Obama will be spending his first term just trying to get the derailed train back on its tracks.

Just a thought, and probably wrong, but... I'm not sure Obama does want to be President, at least not to the degree that Hillary did. Does anyone else remember the "Draft Obama" movement that started up in -- what -- 2005? I think, perhaps, he is responding to the people's call to serve, but on his own, he might not have sought the Presidency -- not this soon, anyway.
He will have a tough job, but I am confident he will surround himself with smart, capable, and ethical people, so he will be able to delegate a lot. At least, that is my hope.

"He will have a tough job, but I am confident he will surround himself with smart, capable, and ethical people, so he will be able to delegate a lot." He has done so with his campaign which may be an even more arduous feat than actually serving in the White House. I think he's going to be a wonderful president.

This was my thought the day he picked Palin. I think he remembers South Carolina in 2000 all too clearly, he knows he's going to die, and his last maverick act is to f***'em beyond recognition. At least I'd like to think this. I used to like McCain (better than other Republicans, anyway).

Its the last game of the world series. Its the bottom of the ninth with two outs. The home team is down by 8 runs. "Yep (they must be thinking), we have the visiting team right where we want them, you betcha."

I think you misunderstood him, McCain has Obama where he wants him because McCain wants to lose this election badly. Couldn't you all tell by the way he ran his campaign? The lack of integrity and honesty were dead giveaways.
Whooo hoooo!!! Indiana, CROWN POINT | Lake Circuit Court Judge Lorenzo Arredondo on Tuesday morning ordered election officials immediately to open early voting centers in Gary, Hammond and East Chicago, giving Democrats, the NAACP and the United Steelworkers union at least a short-term victory.
The last time McCain said he had someone right where he wanted them, he was flying too low and had a close encounter with a SAM missile.

538 is now calling Indiana for Obama. !!! I'm 42, and I'm a (displaced) Hoosier, and never in my lifetime have we gone Democratic... my dad is voting for Obama and ... it's just plain weird. I have to say, though, that if McCain wanted to make Obama a giftwrapped present of the Hoosier State, blowing off Letterman was the best possible way to get the ball rolling.
