I don't have one of those awesome Obama-I voted graphics to put here, but yay, darthblitzkrieg and I voted! The line was about an hour long, so not too bad. Will probably be insane for anyone who waits till after work to vote ( Read more... )

And a debate recap. Not as good as the SNL skits, but pretty damn funny nonetheless!

Everyone else has been posting about the debate, figured I'd join in. I'm with most of the CNN and Fox News panelists: it was a draw. Honestly, I haven't seen anyone saying it wasn't, other than the most staunchly partisan people and spinmeisters. Even Krauthammer said "yup, draw". Krauthammer summed it up best by saying that each side got ( Read more... )

This was a comment made by Mara Liasson from NPR (who I'm a big fan of-- I watch "Special Report" mainly for her and the snarky comments made by conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer, who I don't always agree with, but who has gravitas aplenty) on tonight's Fox News Special Report with Brit Hume, speaking about McCain's decision to involve ( Read more... )

This isn't going to thrill some of you. I've decided to back Obama this year-- Palin is simply too big a threat for me to not vote for the person most able to counter that influence. I signed up on the website to volunteer and located my local office (which is in Falls Church, so it's nice and close). I also signed up w/the Gilmore people, because ( Read more... )

dogemperor has dug up even more, even scarier stuff on Palin.

I don't have the stomach to summarize it for you, just go and read it if you're of a mind to do so ( Read more... )

From dogemperor out of dark_christian. Post is here at DailyKos and mirrored at two other blogging services.

Basically, McCain's spokesman twists and turns and spins and lies about Palin's inexperience. The reporter tries to ask, over and over, how she's qualified to be VP based on the standard of experience that the McCain campaign itself set given her ( Read more... )

Is a very serious problem.

I have to think long and hard about this, because the one and only thing that could make me stay home in November is McCain picking a Dominionist for VP. This makes Palin look as bad as Fuckabee, and with McCain's age, it's a worry and then some.

Dammit.

She's a Hillary delegate, now supporting John McCain. I really like this ad!

(Except that I don't know how to embed a YouTube video on LJ! Help? I can't find a thing for LJ, just (ugh) CrapSpace and Facebook and such.)

Anyway, it's here.
