Yes, because Hillary Clinton isn't stumping around the country for Obama. Hell, she's been in Pennsylvania specifically at least a few times.

So Pennsylvanians don't believe the lyin' words that come out of Hillary's mouth, but rather our truth-tellin' mailer.

"Hello, Tuesday? This is Thursday. Can you switch places with Friday this week? Thanks."

Um, thanks, but I've got a root canal that I wanna undergo.

Boy that is reaching. McCain like Hillary ?? Not
even in drag !

C

I have no idea what purpose they think this mailer will have. Any real Hillary supporter who decided that they just can't support Obama for whatever reason has already chosen their side. They're either voting McCain or they're sitting sideline. I can't imagine any Clinton voters that are sitting on the fence right now that would be swayed by a mailer with McCain looking longingly into Hillary's eyes. Not after "No way, no how, no McCain". Not after airquotes around "women's health" at the debate. Not after Palin.

If anything, this seems more likely to annoy any actual Clinton supporters out there. To me, this mailer just screams out how bankrupt of ideas these guys are right now. If they were going to make a play for Clinton supporters that might be sitting on the fence or leaning Obama, you'd think they'd figure out what issues these voters care about. Not some vague platitudes about "18 million cracks" and a picture of someone who isn't qualified to intern under Clinton.

This reeks of desperation, and seems counterproductive. I hope they sent out thousands.

Man, if this and "Obama pals around with anti-semites, but I won't tell you who" are the only bullets they have left, McCain is in deep doo-doo.

Jumping over here...

CBS NEWS/NEW YORK TIMES POLL

OBAMA 51% MCCAIN 39%

Four day rolling poll, sampled 1439 people, and actually over weights republicans a bit....

That whole Joe the Plumber No Show today, when Joe was onstage at a rally with Palin yesterday is hitting me in the head to get my attention.

That was a deliberate Palin half of the ticket diss at the Old Man, I think.

You know that Obama sign today: Rednecks for Obama - Christ Matthews just showed a picture of a house in Ohio. It had a big flagpole in the front yard and they were flying the American flag and the Confederate flag.

And they had an Obama sign next to it. LMAO!!

hey, get a chance to take this video to watch: "McCain Voter Fraud" on youtube.com. Heres the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGF-HEd6XnA

I hope Palin does run in 2012. I really do. Because I can't stand any more likening of her to Hillary Clinton. Hillary earned those votes. Sarah winked her way onto the ticket. Sorry. That's not the same, in my book.

I hope she runs. And I hope she gets 23 votes. 23 cracks in the ceiling versus 18 million. That will quantify it real quick.

Having lived in the Pittsburgh area for several years and bowled in a league with lots of working class locals, I can say this much... The conservatives in PA hate Hillary almost as much as they hate Obama. Greg's right, this ain't the primary, and McCain ain't gonna win a whole lotta friends with this ad.

This mailer is going out in Minnesota too. I got one yesterday and could hardly believe McCain was using HILLARY to try and garner votes. I sent an e-mail to Hillary's site as well as Josh letting them know.

These people are beyond shameless. My god Tuesday can't get here soon enough.

check this out! McCain voter fraud... whoa.

hey check this video out, its really cool and you may be surprised. "McCain Voter Fraud" on youtube.com. Heres the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGF-HEd6XnA

I live in Pittsburgh and received this today in the mail. (It is currently in the round file next to my desk!)

It was sent in my husband's name and he received THREE of them. I didn't receive any. If this is how he runs his campaign, it's no wonder he's so far behind.

Hmm, I remember a criticism of DLC-style Democrats from several years ago. It went something like, "Why vote for a Republican wannabe when you can vote for a real Republican".

Oh, the irony.

I don't know how this can affect voters.... PUMAs are PUMAs, with or without this mailer. Most of other Hill supporters are behind Obama. And the "pretty word" line is goddamn old.

That said, it would be lovely if Hillary comes out with the mailer in her hand (and this time with Rendell behind her) and does that rant. "Shame on you John McScum, let's have a debate about your attitude in this campaign."

Obama makes pretty words. McCain makes ugly words.

Maybe McCain thinks he's campaigning in Maryland, whose state motto is, "Manly Deeds, Womanly Words."

Just another sx of MPD, folie a' deux:

Maverick Personality Disorder

Palin may reject complicated scientific definitions.

Despite this, McCain and Palin have managed to make a contribution to the scientific literature.

Before this campaign, the term "maverick" was used loosely, imprecisely.

Now, on the basis of extensive behavioral observations and study, we can firmly say what a "maverick" actually is.

It's a personality disorder:

Maverick Personality Disorder 400.00 (Cluster B)

Maverick Personality Disorder is defined by a tendency to make rash, impulsive decisions that are regarded as both bold and correct--even if the decision directly contradicts another "bold" and "correct" decision that has been made only moments before. This impulsivity is to be distinguished from that seen in Borderline Personality Disorder in that in the latter disorder, self-destructive behavior is overt and intentional, whereas in Maverick Personality Disorder, the impulsive behavior is largely self-destructive, but the individual is rarely aware of it, instead thinking that they are acting "from their gut" in a reasonable fashion.

Sharp mood swings, dramatic gestures, and statements that reflect poor judgment and at times reduced perception of reality (e.g. "the fundamentals of the economy are sound") often occur in the disorder.

A. Three of the following symptoms, displayed in a persistent fashion over a period of 1 year, are necessary for the disorder:

a) Impulsive, rash thoughts and decision-making, often on matters of considerable long-term importance, the impact of which may have major deterimental effects on the individual or others. The impulsive decisions are often justified by such statements as being a "courageous thinker", and by disavowing thought and deliberation as negative characteristics. Notably, despite repeated negative outcomes of this impulsive decision making, the individual still maintains that this behavioral style is correct, and will become testy and irritable when challenged, or when reminded of previous negative outcomes. Ideas that are entirely at odds with each other may be seen concurrently, and such contradictions may be presented by the individual as entirely rational.

2) Dramatic, sweeping, impulsive and grandiose gestures that are meant to change a situation in its entirety, yet are often poorly thought through. The individual may present these acts as gallant and heroic, yet the individual often appears desperate, and provides only a paper-thin rationale for the efficacy of the actions.

3)Extreme mood swings or changes in affect, from apparently happy, to extreme anger and rage. Often these emotions will occur simultaneously, as in the "angry grimacing smile."

4)Binges, sprees or reckless/dangerous behavior without recognizing the potential consequences of such behavior, such as shopping sprees, entering interviews without knowledge of the subject at hand, or naming Vice Presidential candidates without sufficient vetting.

5) "Going Rogue": The tendency to stray from previous professional, social and personal commitments in an effort to protect the self.

6) Dissociative Speech Disturbances: The marked tendency to speak for extensive period of time without any apparent linkage between speech centers and centers of actual thought. The individual may appear entirely confident in what they are saying, speaking at length without pause, without displaying any deliberation, cerebration, contemplation or any other forms of thought whatsoever. With these speech disturbances may occur various accompanying behaviors, such as winking, thumb-raising, etc.

7) Dissociative Changes in Ideation: The individual may disavow major aspects of what they claimed to be the center of their beliefs--e.g., the viability of major tax cuts for the wealthy.

8) Verbal Echolalia: The seemingly uncontrollable repetition of certain words and phrases, even when they appear to have ritualistic meaning or have little or no purpose, remaining utility, or underlying truth. E.g., "My friends", "Socialist", "Joe the Plumber".

B. These behaviors must cause marked impairment in one's professional activities or campaign, and are obsessively maintained even when their destructive impact is clear.

C. These behaviors cannot occur exclusively during a period of Bipolar/Manic Depressive Illness, Major Depression, or political inactivity.

Codes for severity:

MPD Mild 400.01: Mutters to self and wanders grumpily during debate; threatens to attack Russia because it is in view;

MPD Moderate 400.02: Races to "save economy" that he claims is fundamentally sound; Appeals to others as "Average Mom", then wears $150,000 in wardrobe and makeup;

MPD Severe 400.03: Invokes "Joe the Plumber" despite long past sell-by date; Sits down in interview with Katie Couric.
