This is perfect: Have you ever wondered about the inner-workings of a big time, presidential campaign? Asked yourself, how do they do it? How do they craft a message and get it out to the American people? Well, if you’re John McCain and are 7 days away from seeing your lifelong ambition go down the toilet, it’s simple. You join […]

I don’t believe it’s a certainty (yet) but this does put a smile on my face. From Election-Projection.net: Ouch. I’m just sayin’…

Christopher Hitchens nails it: This is what the Republican Party has done to us this year: It has placed within reach of the Oval Office a woman who is a religious fanatic and a proud, boastful ignoramus. Those who despise science and learning are not anti-elitist. They are morally and intellectually slothful people who are secretly envious of the educated […]

48 states plus Washington, D.C. are winner take all. So, you could have all of them by winning each one by one vote. That’s 49 votes. Maine and Nebraska have two and three Congressional districts, respectively. Their system is that there’s one electoral vote for each district and two more for the overall winner of the state so you’d need […]

I heard this today at our canvass headquarters but I couldn’t believe it until I actually read it. But yes, it’s true: FOR PRESIDENT: FLAWED CANDIDATES, NO ENDORSEMENTby the Ann Arbor News. That’s right. The Ann Arbor News. For the past week the News has been endorsing Democrats of all kinds. Carl Levin for U.S. Senate. Mark Schauer for the […]

It all started with Sarah Palin’s first declaration that Senator Obama was “paling around with terrorists”. But wait. May he was “palling around with terrorists.” No, that doesn’t look right. Dang it. She’s gone and taken a noun and made a verb out of it and now nobody knows how to spell it. The AP says it’s “palling”. So does […]

This is the coolest Obama YouTube yet. He stopped by a Campaign for Change office in Missouri and spent time talking to voters on the phone. Amazing. I’m just sayin’…

Okay, going-out-on-a-limb time. Here’s the electoral map that I believe we’ll see on Wednesday, November 5th, 2008. Yes, I believe that Indiana and Missouri are going blue this year. It’s unbelievable but true. Uhh…I think. Bonus prediction: Senate will be 59:41 Democrats:Republicans. They may actually get their filibuster-proof 60 but I am having a hard time being that optimistic. I’m […]

It’s not easy keeping your campaign on the good side of decent. But I have been amazed by how the Campaign for Change has gone out of their way to keep their message positive. As Matt Damon said in an interview yesterday regarding his decision not to criticize the McCain/Palin ticket, “The Obama campaign has decided to focus on the […]

Great graphic, nicked from The Daily Kos. (Data from BigTenPoll.org.) Me likes. Me likes a LOT. I’m just smilin’…

THIS is perfect. I look at these people and can’t quite believe that they exist. Are they professional actors? I wonder. Or are they simply laymen who want a lot of attention? To put them in perspective, I think of being on an airplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and, eventually, parks it beside […]
