The audience is booing every time he mentions Obama. God they suck.
“America offers opportunities to all who have the industry and will to sieze it.”
“Let there be no reason now for any American to fail to cherish their citizenship in this the greatest nation on earth.”
“These are difficult times for our country and I [...]

Sorry, I couldn’t help it.

Let me be clear, I am going out on a limb here as I do not trust the Nazi Neocon machine.
Vote rigging (here, here, here) and voter intimidation (here, here), here is in full swing today. Anything can happen.
DO NOT EXHALE yet. Our national nightmare is not [...]

Finale. Must see

I’ll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around me
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I’ll get on my knees and pray
We don’t get fooled again
Don’t get fooled again
No, no!
–Pete Townshend, 1971

The MSNBC map shows McCain’s dilemma (click map to view large). To gain the electoral votes he needs, even if he wins EVERY toss-up state, he still needs to steal an Obama state.
Likely and Leaning McCain: 163
Toss Up States: 89
Total: 252
Needs: 18 more electoral votes to reach 270
For all the [...]

For the record because it is seriously funny.

…I know I am, but what are you?
Somebody tell me: if we think we “are intellectually superior”, than what does the right think about themselves? Remember Gayle Quinnell? Who is HER intellectual superior?….Hmmm?
If we are “closed-minded” and “hostile”, what are they?
Why is it that while there are so manyvideos of ignorant, [...]

From TPM:
. . . McCain’s campaign has devolved into something altogether different … what with its increasingly open appeals to racial conflict and aggressive invocations of blood hatred of Arabs and Muslims. As The New Republic phrases it, McCain’s “subtle incitements of racial warfare and underhanded implications of foreign nativity.” Over the months [...]

Polls would indicate Barack Obama has a comfortable lead in enough states that McCain has almost no chance of getting the 270 electoral votes needed to win the election. But it’s not an impossibility. The Obama campaign is taking no chances. In addition to the states already under intense focus, they have [...]

When I was a child, election night was a strange mystery. My parents disappeared soon after dinner and didn’t return until they done the arcane process of voting. It simply happened.
The first election of which I have any memories was 1976. I thought Jimmy Carter’s smile was too broad and [...]

Continuing the theme of several of my co-authors here, enjoy Obama’s newest TV ad:

I’ve criticized Andrew Sullivan’s commentary before; on issues of sexuality, he’s one of the best out there. But he seems to consistently misread American politics as Labor versus Tory, instead of Democrats versus Republicans or progressives versus conservatives. Every now and then, he hits one out of the ballpark so I keep reading. [...]
