I refer to a lot of people as kids, many of them are older than me. It wasn't meant in a condescending way. |

Not to interrupt the Rush Lovefest here, but I thought this was interesting.

The other night I was talking about the election with a former Republican US Senator from Virginia. I was expecting to teasingly smacktalk about the election, as I have done with him the past several election cycles. The first thing he said to me was "You [the Democrats] are going to win. You deserve to win. You need to kick the rascals out. The Republicans have done a poor job of governing the last 8 years. It's up to you to change that."
He was completely genuine and serious. My jaw was on the floor. So there's some inside info for you, and it's not good for the Republican Party. |

Not sure I buy it, but I wouldn't want to be the one to have to clean up this mess either. |

Updated: Today at 10:14 AM Secret Service says "Kill him" allegation unfounded By Andrew M. Seder aseder@timesleader.com Staff Writer SCRANTON – The agent in charge of the Secret Service field office in Scranton said allegations that someone yelled “kill him” when presidential hopeful Barack Obama’s name was mentioned during Tuesday’s Sarah Palin rally are unfounded. The Scranton Times-Tribune first reported the alleged incident on its Web site Tuesday and then again in its print edition Wednesday. The first story, written by reporter David Singleton, appeared with allegations that while congressional candidate Chris Hackett was addressing the crowd and mentioned Obama’s name a man in the audience shouted “kill him." News organizations including ABC, The Associated Press, The Washington Monthly and MSNBC’s Countdown with Keith Olbermann reported the claim, with most attributing the allegations to the Times-Tribune story. Agent Bill Slavoski said he was in the audience, along with an undisclosed number of additional secret service agents and other law enforcement officers and not one heard the comment. “I was baffled,” he said after reading the report in Wednesday’s Times-Tribune. He said the agency conducted an investigation Wednesday, after seeing the story, and could not find one person to corroborate the allegation other than Singleton. Slavoski said more than 20 non-security agents were interviewed Wednesday, from news media to ordinary citizens in attendance at the rally for the Republican vice presidential candidate held at the Riverfront Sports Complex. He said Singleton was the only one to say he heard someone yell “kill him.” “We have yet to find someone to back up the story,” Slavoski said. “We had people all over and we have yet to find anyone who said they heard it.” Hackett said he did not hear the remark. Slavoski said Singleton was interviewed Wednesday and stood by his story but couldn’t give a description of the man because he didn’t see him he only heard him. When contacted Wednesday afternoon, Singleton referred questions to Times-Tribune Metro Editor Jeff Sonderman. Sonderman said, “We stand by the story. The facts reported are true and that’s really all there is.” Slavoski said the agents take such threats or comments seriously and immediately opened an investigation but after due diligence “as far as we’re concerned it’s closed unless someone comes forward.” He urged anyone with knowledge of the alleged incident to call him at 346-5781. “We’ll run at all leads,” he said. This story also appears on the following websites... |

For example, the growth of the 1990's was great, but a good percentage of that growth is credited to George H.W. Bush's policies, (aka him breaking his "no new taxes" line...watch "The Presidents" or whatever it's called on PBS and it explains this well). Bush and Clinton were both responsible for that growth. The economic mess right now is a combination of multiple Presidents--deregulation under Reagan and Bush, the push of the Clinton Administration to give sub-prime loans to increase the number of homeowners in the U.S., then the continued deregulation under the Bush Administration. |

Everytime someone quotes a super lengthy post just to reply with one sentence, God kicks a puppy.

![]() You'd think that if it were coincidence, the numbers would be all over the place, rather than the consistent stats shown. Btw, you can bet that if those numbers were reversed, the repubs would be rubbing our noses in that graphic morning, noon, and night. ![]() |

I think they're talking about a different rally. (one in PA this week vs. one in FL last week)

"Who is this Barack Obama?"
"Terrorist!" "Kill him!" Strange look "You ask those questions, and all you get is a barrage of insults." With a lot of goodwill, one could think he indirectly criticised his audience... with a lot of goodwill. |

Here are the latest Gallup results as McCain and Obama went into the final debate. These results just came out this afternoon and involve polling done in the two days before and the day of the debate.
Obama 49% McCain 43% So, Obama's lead is down to just 6 points among registered voters, plus this is the first time Obama has been below 50% in over two weeks. A poll among what gallup calls likely voters offers some hope for McCain. Here are the results of that poll: Obama 49% McCain 47% This result is within the margin of error for the poll. But, the electoral college is still looking grim at the moment for McCain. If the election were held today, realclearpolitics predicts and electoral victory for Obama: Obama 364 McCain 174 RealClearPolitics - Electoral Map That electoral college result is very similar to Clinton VS. Dole in 1996. |
