So Politifact.com went after McCain's ridiculous smear campaign about Ayers and tore it to shreds. At the same time, we find out that Sarah Palin abused her authority in the troopergate scandal. Take into account the way she refused to testify and had her staff stonwalling the courts, you get the building blocks of Cheney junior.
Anyway, about Ayers Politifact wrote:
| | Not a radical group, and Ayers didn't run it
Pants on fire!
For most of the election, Sen. John McCain's campaign has been somewhat subtle about trying to tie Sen. Barack Obama to the former '60s radical William Ayers.
No longer. A 90-second Web ad released Oct. 8, 2008, features sinister music, side-by-side photographs of Obama and Ayers, and a series of dubious allegations about their past connections, including this one:
"Ayers and Obama ran a radical education foundation together."
Ayers was a founding member of the militant Vietnam-era anti-war group the Weathermen. He was investigated for his role in a series of domestic bombings, but the charges were dropped in 1974 due to prosecutorial misconduct. He is now an education professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and actively engaged in the city's civic life.
The McCain campaign said the "radical education foundation" to which they were referring is the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, a charity endowed by publishing magnate Walter Annenberg that funded public-school programs in Chicago from 1995 to 2001.
We'll look at whether the foundation was radical. But first we have to grapple with whether Obama and Ayers ran it. |
More here.
Of course, when you look at the polls it's no surprise that they're in "all smear all the time" mode, inciting their supporters to call Obama a "terrorist" and say "kill him!" at McPalin rallies.
Latest Gallup: Notice McCain started to recover on Saturday and then took a nose dive on Sunday, lolz
Last 2 days from Real Clear Politics.com.... not seeing any red in there!
And here are the projections from 538.com, with Obama at landslide figures in the electoral college and a huge win %
Last we have the electoral map and projection from pollster.com which is more reserved than 538.com yet still with 320 EV's for Obama
We're in the final sprint. This week is the last debate (Wed). Then it's 2 weeks till election day. The last 3 weeks of an election are the most important time. Many campaigns have come into this point with a lead and lost it. The challenge ahead of McCain is huge, but it's not impossible. If you're an Obama supporter like me, then get off your ass and go volunteer. Even if you're super lazy, at least sign up to volunteer over the last 4 days which are the most crucial of them all. And if you're uber crazy super lazy, sign up to volunteer on election day to help turn out the vote. Obv you should already have voted early. I have =)
Think about it - would you rather sit at home and just hope that this lead holds and we win, or take action to make sure it happens? Imagine how you'd feel if on Nov 4th you saw McCain win and you realized that if you'd gotten off your ass you could have helped make a difference. As reassuring as these polls are, I am even more eager to get out there and work on this campaign, to make sure that if we do lose I know I did all I could. And honestly, my goal is to try and create a huge landslide. Biggest in history. Let's do it!
Go to http://my.barackobama.com/page/content/statepages and find your state and on the right hand side of your state page, find your local office. Get involved. It's actually pretty fun, the people are nice and they usually have good food and conversation. Remember, Obama is all about 'hope' but he doesn't want Americans to sit around 'hoping' things get better. He wants to inspire the hope so that we will take action, because when you lose hope you don't bother to try and make a change. There are lots of us taking action right now but we need more help, so come join us! Get out of your house for a bit, you're a poker player, you need to see sunlight on occasion!

BTW. read this
http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/0,1518,583918,00.html
Noting that spiegel is the Europe's largest weekly magazines. Its pretty clear that what the rest of the world will think of US if McCain gets elected. How can a respectful man like him get soooo much out of way. By picking such a unqualified moron as his VP. How can he think that she is of ANY help to him in the office? Specially considering his health condition he is such a .......(I really want to say traitor here!)
I personally just hope Obama gets elected mainly because I want the economy to boom and bombs not to fly over my homeland 
But Palin is REALLY REALLYretarded choice as a VP imo.

nice read. I've been reading articles like that all weekend. haven't blogged about that stuff so much though - guess I'm lazy, hehe. Overall it's disgusting the way McPalin are campaigning, and the way their crowds are reacting is not only despicable but scary.
Palin was a huge gamble that turned into utter fail. |
