John McCain and Sarah Palin thought that they had found the secret to winning Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania.
The Amish.
Unfortunately, a few missteps and the whole thing back fired.
Someone noticed the Donna Karan tag on Sarah Palin’s bonnet.
McCain’s brother, Joe, told the crowd that they could all go &^%$ themselves.
And everyone was completely confused by
“Ezekial the Electrician.”
is the title of a piece in the Guardian.uk by James Ridgeway.
Fourteen Words that spell racism
The prospect of an African-American president is bringing white supremacist subculture in the US out of the shadows
It was written in response to the arrests of the 2 young skinheads arrested for plotting to decapitate black Americans and kill Barack Obama.
I wish that American news sources would address this arrest in context, as does this piece.

One week from now, we will decide the thing for once and for all. Word came yesterday that the the RNC has bought advertising time in Montana in an effort to win its three electoral votes for John McCain. The last Democrat to win in Montana was Bill Clinton in 1992 when Ross Perot was on the ballot. This year, Ron Paul is on Montana’s ballot.
Blask!!! WTF??
Has been crackin’ me up all night.
Check out the Jerome version on MYDD. 😉
Enjoy.
GOTV
Ok Spaceman, spark one up and enjoy.
Over the last few days we have heard about some extravagant spending by the Republicans. The $150,000 for clothes for Ms. Palin and Fam, and now expenditures for art restoration, elephant-shaped shrubbery, baseball tickets, a yacht rental, lunches for Karl Rove, 250 wine glasses adorned with elephant designs, elephant shaped chocolates, jewelry and political paraphernalia, more clothes from Lands End…
In all of this what I want to know is, how much of all this was spent using public financing? Yeah some came from private donations via the RNC, but did any of it come from McCain’s budget? If so…
Senator Ted Stevens was convicted today on all 7 counts of lying on his financial disclosure forms. Details from the Alaska Daily News:
Jurors found Stevens, 84, guilty of willfully filing false financial-disclosure forms that hid such gifts as a $2,695 massage chair, a stained glass window, a sled dog and renovations that doubled the size of his Girdwood home. Those gifts, valued at as much as $250,000 over seven years, came mostly from his former friend Bill Allen, the star prosecution witness in Stevens’ trial and the former owner of Veco Corp.
Nervous yet? I know I am. It’s crazy enough having to follow the Presidential Election 24/7. But for me and my friends & family here in California, we have even more on our minds!
We have a Congressional race to win. We have an evil, discriminatory
ballot initiative to defeat. And of course, we have a community, a county, and a country to take back!
Let me tell you about what I did last weekend to make all of this happen.
This needs to be framed on you tube and in the media for what it is. A republican operative trying to play gotcha.

Electoral Vote.com today compares trends in the Electoral College during the 2004 cycle to trends in the Electoral College during the 2008 cycle. The comparison suggests that neither Bush nor Kerry dominated the Electoral College projections in 2004 the way that Obama has dominated them this year.
