Update: Same problem in Georgia, a million missing votes.
From Mud-Flats, Crunching the Numbers in Alaska
In 2004, 66% of registered voters turned out to vote in the presidential election between George Bush and John Kerry.
In 2008, including the votes still outstanding, only 54% of registered voters turned out.

Huh? Lower turnout in the biggest election Alaska [...]

On Chris Matthews’ Hardball today, he lists the year’s biggest losers after this campaign. I, for one, am glad to see that the Rovian method of gaming politics has been exposed and has failed miserably in the end. All that’s left now is to require him to testify before congress (and maybe the [...]

Finale. Must see

Via TPM Election Central… In a speech today in Missouri, Governor Sarah Palin strongly implied that Democrats think the “terrorists” are the “good guys.”
I’ve been disciplined up to now, letting others bash Sarah Palin because I prefer to hammer away at Senator McCain, who made the mistake of picking her. When you run [...]

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?

All politics is local, and when Lisa Johnson came to my door asking for help in her campaign for the Utah House of Representatives I resolved to do my due diligence this year. Today I walked a precinct in Sandy for Lisa, who is just the kind of representative you want in the state [...]

There’s been a great deal of talk about corruption in politics. The last 8 years have seen a truly shocking level of corruption in government - from the Republicans K Street Project, to the Bushies’ endless politicizing of every aspect of government starting with no bid contracts for any firm connected to the Administration [...]

‘There are strange things done in the midnight sun . . .’
The New York Times reports that Alaskan Senator Ted Stevens returned home to a hero’s welcome. Hundreds of supporters cheered while Stevens vowed to appeal his felony convictions and asked voters to re-elect him.
Top Republicans including John McCain and Sarah Palin have called [...]

The Wall Street Journal published a press release from the Republican National Committee, providing a run-down and bio information about Khalidi. The intent is clearly to make Obama look anti-Israel by his association with Khalidi.
However, to quote Rachel Maddow, this is the old ‘I’m rubber and you’re glue . . .’ dilemma. Turns [...]

I heard a bit of Biden’s speech today. He said (to paraphrase) we can no longer be a red country and a blue country. We are one nation, under God, indivisible. Get up and take back this country we love. This summarizes the final message from Obama/Biden. The desire is to [...]

It kills me the way people are throwing around the ‘S’ word. Socialism is a well defined system, and we are no where close to it. One could also study a bit about tax policy, unless one prefers to make it up as they go along.
Being Stupid is a Choice

In the final 15 [...]
