Former Senator Lincoln Chaffee won my respect when he voted against the illegal and immoral invasion of Iraq. His deep concern about the absurdity of John Bolton”s UN nomination was so clear during the nomination hearings. Lincoln Chaffee was clearly outraged.

The Obama teams in Ohio and in Colorado ( the two Obama teams I have participated with) are kicking ass.
Polite, friendly, inclusive and working incredibly hard.

I respect but often disagree with Bmaz. He may know about Arizona (I believe that is where he lives). But he obviously does not know about pockets in southeastern Ohio and other spots around the nation that have folks who vote against their own self interest. That Rove and his team understand these self destructive tendencies very well and manipulate them to their advantage. But to do the advantage of the majority of the American public.

But as Bmaz and William O have pointed out in Ohio and other states where this is happening the most constructive way to deal with this is to continue to focus on registering younger and African American voters.

Hillary, Bill and Biden will be coming to Ohio. Their collective efforts in Ohio will leave McCain and Palin in the pig trough. (sorry pigs)

This is just getting beyond disgusting.

The MSM needs to be admonished big time. We need to start a letter campaign and boycotting products advertised on the networks running the ads.

On a previous post in a Bmaz thread about Palin, Leen and I both asserted basically that Palin would infuse the McCain campaign with vigor and purpose.

For the most part, all Bmaz did (his thread) was fuss and cuss and deny that it would happen.

I wonder what he thinks now.

I saw it and thought it was GREAT. It was a great humorous answer to the whole matter. Obama is just super sharp. Really really bright.

I have to say, I’ve never seen such promise in a candidate. He’s really one in a million.

Interesting analysis on that site. I’m thinking that the Obama people are pretty bright at running campaigns, so I hope the internals look like that site thinks they do.

And here’s a link for the Chafee comment.

interesting you should ask that question, as it also occurred to me.

so i wrote the votemaster at electoral-vote.com about some of these things, just yesterday, and lo and behold, insta-response! his page today addresses many of those issues i raised, though he doesn’t post any of the partisan polls like i asked him to. some are available, but some are not.

my suspicion is, based on mccain’s extremely desperate behavior and obama’s cool behavior, is that they show us what my five arithmetical points would suggest; obama maintains a comfortable lead nationally, as well as electorally.

but you might also be interested to read votemaster’s analysis of what might happen if there is a tie in the electoral college! not so happy a situation as you might expect.

he’s a great resource; folks should check him out.
