Here's my prediction of the election results.

With some exceptions (e.g. Florida, Kansas), I think it will break down approximately like this:
Confederate states = McCain
Union states = Obama
Union territories = McCain

Then we are decided.

I just had a thought: Perhaps we could shorten Obama/Biden to O'Biden and McCain/Palin to McPalin. Wouldn't that simplify things?

McPalin ... the new shish-kebab snack from MacDonalds!

Recipes anyone?

I find this interesting. This is the first time in recent history that the first name of a VP candidate appears as the lead on a campaign sign.

Does anyone remember ever seeing "Al!" signs for Clinton/Gore or "George!" signs for Reagan/Bush?

I find it funny that the Republicans were bitching about Obama the celebrity and then went out and found one of their own.

BTW, I think this sign design is new because the neighbor had a McCain/Palin sign up until a few days ago.

Technically, these yard signs are illegal according to our homeowners association bylaws. I argued the case in one of our committees years ago that they should be allowed and there was a verbal decision made to allow them. Unfortunately, it may still be technically a violation and my wife is the President of the association, so I feel I need things to be clearer in order to respond with my own Obama sign.:(

I think it is great. They are comparing the two canidates with the least experience on par.

I'm sorry, don't you mean your Joe! sign?

Lefty bloggers fall for fake Palin SAT

http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/...or_fake_p.html

Oh God this is rich, The Daily Kos at the forefront again. :D

The forgery appears to have originated with a purported "Background Report" on Palin that was posted anonymously to a Web site. It was swiftly swallowed blogs such as Daily Kos ("it sure seems credible"), and Wonkette ("a 425 verbal sounds about right"). None of them apparently noticed or cared that the front page of the "report" revealed it to be an obvious fake: The document, which features purported DMV records from 2006, bears a "RECEIVED" stamp dated "6-24-03."

Is the received stamp supposed to be for the whole thing or just the first page?

There is DMV entries in December 2004, for 2005 and 2006 ATV vehicles.

It also contains a bit about Bristol Palin's baby daddy, making statements on his MySpace page.

I read DailyKos regularly - multiple times a day, usually.
Not once did anything about Palin's SATs appear on the front page NOR within the top-recommended diaries.

judging dailykos for some of the way-down-the-ladder shit-slinging is like judging the Cellar on the basis of Radar, tw, UG, and your homophobic drivel, merc, and ignoring the whole rest of the forum.

dailykos is great if you simply want to get the most extreme liberal slant on anything. Just the exact opposite of the Rush Limbaugh types. Try to find something that isn't so completely biased so that you can make your own decisions based on facts, something those of that ilk are severely lacking. Lemme guess, you read moveon.org too.

It seems like Obama is winning so I wonder why all the 'will race effect the election'? type of talk. If he is winning isn't it a moot point?

Sarah who?

Sarah who?

Not if you count the "Bradley effect" theory that states that actual votes for minority candidates running against Caucasian candidates are lower than polled.

No different.
She did not demand that books be banned from the Wasilla library. Some of the books on a widely circulated list were not even in print at the time. The librarian has said Palin asked a "What if?" question, but the librarian continued in her job through most of Palin's first term.

She was fired, and rehired after public outrage. She eventually quit.

Quote:

She was never a member of the Alaskan Independence Party, a group that wants Alaskans to vote on whether they wish to secede from the United States. She’s been registered as a Republican since May 1982.

They say she was, and she did address their convention. She could have just been humoring them, though.

Quote:

Palin has not pushed for teaching creationism in Alaska's schools. She has said that students should be allowed to "debate both sides" of the evolution question, but she also said creationism "doesn't have to be part of the curriculum."

"has not pushed" was probably the best way you could have phrased that, as she both called for teaching creationism, and promised not to push it during her campaign. Of course, even the idea of "both sides" is problematic in itself, as "both" implies "two", and once magic is allowed, there are infinite possible "sides" to the "debate".

Quote:

Did Sarah Palin make rape victims pay for their own rape kits? No.

During her term, under her chosen police chief, the bills for rape kits, and no other police activity, were sent to the victims' insurance. So, Yes.

As for Kos, on a site where anyone can post anything I wouldn't have mentioned anything if you'd restricted your original comment to posters. But you included bloggers, implying some level of support from the Daily Kos iteslf.

So we have an example of "The Daily Kos at the forefront again." That diary entry has five reccommendations, and is full of comments debunking the story. To show up outside of the archives for more than a few minutes, you need hundreds of reccommendations. So not only did this forefront issue not come from Kos bloggers, it didn't even attract much support from the posters.

And none of your examples rise to the level of "terrorist", which was what your original "no different" was a response to.
