Seems kind of odd that the McCain camp keeps going back to Pennsylvania. They really can't seem to let that one go.

Hillary Clinton will be spending the week campaigning across the country for Barack Obama.

During the primaries, I felt strongly that the type of campaign Hillary ran was beneath contempt. But now I have to admit two things: 1) McShame has made her primary campaign seem like a model of high-mindedness by comparison; and 2) She is going above and beyond the call in the amount of campaigning she is doing for Obama. I can't recall a defeated primary candidate doing this much for a nominee (though this may be reflection of a bad memory). But credit where credit is due.

[Palin] did stand by her statements that Barack Obama "pals around with terrorists." . . . "Friends, now is no time to experiment with socialism."

Terrorists! Socialists! Muslims! Oh my!

Name calling: the last refuge of those with no ideas, no principles, no honor.

McCain yesterday was saying his polling shows a McCain surge. The fact he's still going to PA doesn't surprise me a bit. I'm sure Schmidt is "sending" "emails" to John with "new polling info" showing a McCain "surge." I won't be surprised if, like Derick Zoolander, McCain is giving an acceptance speech on Nov. 4 even when he loses.

Hillary would make a great president.
Will have to wait and see about McCain.
Obama is a future Jeopardy question.

Hillary is visiting Utah on Saturday... Utah !

My favorite moment of the weekend, as listed in today's Philadelphia Inquirer (http://www.philly.com/philly/news/homepage/31267979.html) was Tucker Bounds claiming that Powell's endorsement proves that Obama's so weak that he needs endorsements... at the same time as McCain responds by saying "I have endorsements from Secretaries of State too!"

I posted this on another (apparently dead) thread this morning but I thought Family Guy was so funny last night I have to re-post it here.

I said:

"Hey did anyone see Family Guy last night? 2 REALLY funny bits. Brian and Stewie go back in time to pre-WWII Warsaw and end up needing uranium. Stewie makes the comment "Hey Brian, the Germans are making weapons of mass destruction how come the United States doesn't invade them, kill all the Nazis and restore Democracy?" To which Brian says "Because there's no oil here?"

A bit later, they shanghai some Nazi soldiers and commandeer the uniforms. Stewie puts the jacket on and says "That's odd there seems to be something stuck on here" he turns the lapel over to reveal (wait for it) a McCain/Palin pin!

Bwahahaha!!!"

So Sarah the Unready is going to the wingnuttiest parts of Colorado, there to guarantee a nice angry crowd whipped up into a nice froth. Note that she's not going to Denver, where she might be heckled, or even worse, ignored.

if only we could have an honest debate in this country about which economic policies work and which economic policies don't work and about about what the actual effects of various economic policies are... that we can't seem to have that conversation is the primary problem with the economy.

instead we have to go through this false dilemma between socialism (which we already have in this country and it works quite well) and free enterprise (which we will always have in this country because it too works quite well).

the truth is everyone who isn't completely batshit knows we have a mixed economy and that a mixed economy works perfectly well when managed properly.

mccain-palin and the rnc want voters to believe that warren buffet and colin powell are marxists. the news media ought to be lambasting this nonsense. bachman's tweety tirade is the red flag here (pardon the pun). take heed.

She doesn't know what socialism is.

She's talking trash - she's too dumb to know what it is.

The income tax is first last and always a wealth and resource redistribution scheme,,,, likewise social security, et al. As FDR jolly well knew, without same the red flag would have long ago been set to flying over the Capitol.

We have now socialized the financial industry for similar reality based reasons.

Next,,,,, the health care industry for similar reality based reasons.

FDR was called a traitor to his class for what he did,,,,,, when will the wingers call Barack a traitor to his class as well.

WTF. Biden states that Obama presidency will mean nuclear confrontation:

Notice he didn't say "the next president" as if it were inevitable. He said Obama.

Great.

Chicago’s Leading Citizens ‘Bear’ Witness for Ayers

Biden was speaking to the body politic as if we were adults. As for me and my house, such talk is welcomed and appreciated.

Yesterday might have well been one of the best days in the entire campaign. Time to ride that wave until the end of the week.

Contemplating on the imminent defeat on Nov. 4, McCain said yesterday on Wallace, "If the world turns an unfortunate way on November 4th, don't feel sorry for John McCain and John McCain will be concentrating on not feeling sorry for himself. I have to go back and live in Arizona, be in the United States Senate representing them, [or, I might retire from politics and attend to my] wonderful family [though, my wife is a total clithead]."

So nearly 40% Americans think Ayers is a legitimate issue and the choice of Palin makes them more confident in McCain's judgment? America is SO screwed.

Palin Strays Further Off the Slowly Sliding Glacier

Palin further plans her future beyond the current campaign. As you could see on Saturday night, where she could barely restrain herself from objecting to the "pageant walk" segment (Watch carefully; Biography, "Sarah": Sarah was always a stubborn girl), she ultimately can't prevent herself from going her own way.

From WaPo:

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin last night criticized the automated calls the Republican National Committee and her own campaign have put out linking Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama to former Weather Underground member William Ayers, even though she did not call for a halt the controversial practice.

"If I called all the shots, and if I could wave a magic wand," Palin told her traveling press corps as she stood on the tarmac here, "I would be sitting at a kitchen table with more and more Americans, talking to them about our plan to get the economy back on track and winning the war and not having to rely on the old conventional ways of campaigning that includes those robocalls and includes spending so much money on the television ads that, I think, is kind of draining out there in terms of Americans' attention span."

"They get a bit irritated with just being inundated, and you're seeing a lot of that of course with the huge amounts of money that Barack Obama is able to spend on his ads and his robocalls also," she added, though she did not say if she had discussed her concerns with campaign officials.
