As a long-time blogger for a more liberal America, I’m tempted to sign-off this blog and say mission accomplished.
But, I don’t think I will. For one thing, I think Obama’s going to need some help as he takes steps toward an America that lives up to the promise of America. In that journey, I am [...]
No posts since November 2. What happened? I think I’ve been going through the 3 stages of political grief (in reverse).
At first it was Fear that despite polls, Obama wouldn’t win. Then, Disbelief that he actually won. Then Relief that someone with brains, maturity, and a coherent value system is actually going to be running [...]
This could be interesting. The (British) Economist magazine is asking its readers to vote in the American presidential election (no, this is not real balloting—and ACORN is nowhere to be found). So far readers are solid for Obama with most of Obama’s votes coming from India and China. McCain is strong in Cuba and Iraq.
Of [...]
In a dispatch from the far reaches of right-wing punditry, Kathleen Parker tells us that she has been scratching her chin and wondering how McCain could possibly have chosen Palin. Her conclusion: his mind was clouded by “sexual attraction”:
One does not have to be a psychoanalyst to reckon that McCain was smitten. By no means [...]
From the NY Times political blog:
Who was the highest paid individual in Senator John McCain’s presidential campaign during the first half of October as it headed down the homestretch?
… It was Amy Strozzi, Gov. Sarah Palin’s traveling makeup artist, according to a new filing with the Federal Election Commission on Thursday night.
Ms. Strozzi, who was [...]
Apparently the GOP spent $150,000 on a makeover for Sarah Palin and her family in September. C’mon! The regular folks who appear on What Not to Wear buy “a whole new wardrobe” for $5,000.
In a case you missed it I highly recommend that you watch Colin Powell’s endorsement of Obama on Meet the Press. It’s a very powerful, detailed statement that hits McCain slimy campaign tactics hard (he even brings up and takes down the Bill Ayers issue). I particularly like Powell’s “correct” answer to the charge that [...]
All indicators point to a GOP bloodbath this November. GOPers are asking themselves how something like that could possibly happen? It couldn’t be that the GOP led the country into avoidable economic catastrophe and avoidable senseless war. No, it must be VOTER FRAUD (see WSJ, RNC, etc., etc.)
Sorry Karl & Co—there are almost no instances [...]
….you might want to ask an economist what to do. If you do, you’ll likely be advised to vote for Obama. According to the Economist magazine, professional economist overwhelmingly favor Barack Obama.
Kind of stunning, when you think about it. There’s even an economists4obama website.
