My bad, but the reason is still valid, bombing civilian targets when your intelligence isn't very good would make him a "terrorist" in the eyes of more than a few people Maybe the November surprise will be the finding of the mythical WMDs ? Although personally I think he has a bigger chance of finding a colony of Unicorns.... |

Perhaps Sen. O is facing the "rope a dope" from San Mac but hasn't figured it out yet.

interesting thoughts from one, Mark Penn:
Quote:
this is really the story here. it's not the economic crisis, as the Republican apologists/sympathizers will try to explain on November 5th. it was how each man reacted to the economic crisis. Obama was cool, calm, collected, and didn't panic. McCain lapsed into hysterics, like he did in the Russia/Georgia crisis, and this is now exactly what voters don't want in a president. no one wants a drama queen. no one wants a Chicken Little. as many predicted over a year ago, especially when HRC seemed inevitable, after 8 years of overreactions and incompetence, the overriding qualification for the presidency is going to be who is the adult in the room. who can handle a crisis. who can deal. overwhelmingly, we have our answer. no one wants a hysteric. good bye, Grandpa Walnuts. and nice CYA, Mr. Penn. |

I have to hand it to Hitchens for calling Palin a "proud ignoramus" because hell that's exactly what she is.

that's what Bush has always been. lucky for him, he had the blue-blood credentials that made the economic conservatives think that he was being all wink-wink, nudge-nudge about the Christian thing. that held the tenuous GOP coalition together enough to eek out two electoral victories (well, only one, really, and we were in the midst of a war). Palin, however, actually is authentically proud to be ignorant. |

She is, but from what I gather they don’t see it as ignorance at all, proud of it or otherwise, but a kind of enlightenment. She clearly has the same black/white, good guys/bad guys view of everything as Bush (“there are good guys and bad guys and I know who they are and what to do about them” seemingly being the extent of her personal policy beliefs), and there seem to be plenty out there who think that sort of simplification is all that’s necessary, and not a proud step below an ‘elitist’ intellectual response, but a higher more enlightened response above it. Ignorance truly is bliss, right?
Hitchens is good, and if you think it’s a blind bias, you’d be wrong – he’s spend plenty of time and ink ranting and raving about how ridiculously overhyped he thinks Obama is. He is certainly not enamored with Obama at all, to say the least. But as he says, it’s increasingly been shown to be about personality. Obama is calm and sensible, McCain is erratic and knee jerk, and Palin is dangerously stupid and that choice is in itself the best sign that McCain isn’t up to it. |

I find any sort of shenanigans regarding voting - on either side - to be reprehensible, and they all make me both angry and sad.
Whether it's phony registrations or any sort of disenfranchisement (?), like telling people they won't be able to vote if x, y, or z, it's inexcusable. |

I'm sure the far left is just as outraged as the far right were over possible improprietaries in voting stations and with diebold in the last election

^But not every single left poster called that person out, so they are clearly simpathizers.
