Predictions

We made it! It’s finally Election Day. With any luck, it won’t be Election Week.
Across the country, news sources are reporting massive voter turnout and everyone is waiting for the predictions to start. Early returns will be flying. For example, I have just received privileged information that Virginia will be tallied [...]

A Summary of the Ad Race

The New York Times offers a great tool to compare the advertising spending, by media market, of different 527s, the candidates, and their parties.  It even lets you view the individual ads they’ve released.  Now that’s cool.
Just think, I’d never have known what Barack thinks about Deuteronomy, Leviticus, and the Sermon on the Mount, if [...]

Desperation

My friends, let me tell you something.  Just like Joe the Plumber, John McCain is desperate.  I gotta tell ya, my friends, that John McCain can tell that he is losing the battle for the hearts and minds of Americans.  You betcha.  The hockey moms (and the pitbulls who are affronted by the notion that [...]

Rewarding the Rich; Rewarding the Poor

Today it seems no campaign can be complete without mention of lowering taxes. But we need to remember that America is so awesome not because it gives sweet tax breaks but rather because it rewards people proportionate to their work.

Duo Dos: Derisory Developments

Re: Will H.  I disagree.  I think McCain did better in the first debate…. err Obama did worse in the first debate.  When we first saw the two rivals on stage for the first time, McCain represented a safe choice, quite similar similar to GWB running for his second term.  Obama let McCain walk all over him by [...]

The Second Debate

I watched this debate through a combination of live webcast and internet radio (with significant streaming problems), so my understanding of it as a whole is a bit inadequate.  However, I was quite interested to see how little both candidates seem to say regarding the actual questions asked.  I was amazed and delighted when a [...]

Election ‘08 to decide enduring social policy

What concerns me most these days is the role a McCain/Palin presidency could play in creating a highly traditionalist supreme court panel.  Such a traditionalist court would greatly change American social policy, specifically those on abortion, stem cell research and gay marriage.  These changes are nearly certain, and a McCain succumbing to every GOP whim [...]

Definitely take a look, but the latter half is better than the first half. This is the Keating Economics video that the Obama camp released today.

Although conservative social policy is certainly perceived as a strength of the McCain/Palin ticket for conservative voters, it seems that one of the other pillars of [...]

Obama: Call Out Voter Suppression

I wrote this post a few days ago, sorry for the delay in posting.

This article came to my attention via one of my friends’ facebook pages the other day, so thanks to her for posting it.
If there is anything that proves that McCain is the enemy of the working class, it is the fact that [...]

You go girl.

Why aren’t the American people hearing more talk like this?
