We're in an election where the number of Republicans is shrinking, the number of Democrats is growing and they cannot win on the base strategy alone. We can. For the first time, we can win on the base strategy. We're not running that, but we could. They're running a base strategy when Republicans are becoming an extinct species.<BR/><BR/>And you can't get rid of her. To take somebody who's been so warmly embraced by the Christian right and then to dump her for somebody who's more palatable to the center? Talk about open warfare. It would be worse than having picked Lieberman from the start. To me, it's fantastic, right? He's boxed himself in, he can't get out. So they're left having to defend somebody. And let's not forget another important point that I almost forgot because it's so obvious, is that they've completely negated the experience argument. That was probably the only argument against Obama that had any salience."<BR/><BR/>"Obviously, I'm not a woman, so it's tough for me to sort of understand the mind-set of many Clinton supporters. But I think it's telling that Gallup just released a poll today that showed Obama has done a fantastic job of solidifying his support among Hillary supporters. And my wife is a blogger, and at her site, she has definitely seen hardcore Hillary supporters so offended at the notion that McCain thought that putting a pair of breasts on the ticket was going to be enough to win their support, especially when Sarah Palin is so far removed ideologically from Hillary Clinton. Not just on choice, but she's a book burner. We just found out today, she was banning books at the Wasilla Public Library. She's virulently anti-choice. Go down the list, it's pretty crazy stuff. Clearly, if that was a ploy to lure Hillary supporters, it's not working. The data doesn't bear it out nor does the anecdotal evidence."<BR/><BR/>"<B>You think there was an understanding that he was going to lose within his own campaign?</B><BR/><BR/>Oh yeah, absolutely. The numbers have been terrible. As much as the press has talked about the tightening national numbers, the state-by-state looks bad for McCain. And the underlying dynamic, the anger of the electorate against the Republicans and the incumbents who have dragged this nation to where it is today, is palpable. Pretty much the only task left for Obama is to more closely tie McCain to George Bush and the failed Republican policies. And that really isn't a hard sell at the end of the day."</I><BR/><BR/>I don't know that I believe McCain is going to win this one. Although I was shocked when Bush got a second term, so I admit I don't know what I'm talking about.Puss In Bootshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14236191025319308375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949589573125647543.post-82553398682762699142008-09-05T08:09:00.000+10:002008-09-05T08:09:00.000+10:00The hurdle for the democrats is that the majority ...The hurdle for the democrats is that the majority of voting Americans are staunch Republicans, no matter who the candidate is.<BR/><BR/>I mean look at Bush.. major fuck ups all over his first term and yet he gets another.

I think Democrats pick up, it's easier to say four or five, but I'll go out on a limb and say they pick up eight seats, seven to eight seats in the Senate. And about 20 to 30 seats in the House.

Packed in the vestibule with 30 other people, I kept hearing this good awful harking sound. It was so packed I couldn’t see the source until I was almost home. The sound was coming from a mental looking woman with a very short haircut, in a dark baggy sloppy joe and matching pants. Once the vestibule cleared I got a front seat view of her hawking up and spitting onto the sleeve of her sloppy joe before rubbing both arms together to remove the evidence. Truly disgusting, I feel sick just remembering it.Stubbadubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05333188150383405691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949589573125647543.post-1930974329613710942008-09-04T10:13:00.000+10:002008-09-04T10:13:00.000+10:00Jamie,Perseus is trying to bulk up to impress teh ...Jamie,<BR/><BR/>Perseus is trying to bulk up to impress teh chicks.<BR/><BR/>Oh and welcome back.Ramon Insertnameherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07367002511826523517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949589573125647543.post-61162063134491624632008-09-04T10:06:00.000+10:002008-09-04T10:06:00.000+10:00Welcome back, Jamie.Perseus bet me a dollar that O...Welcome back, Jamie.<BR/><BR/>Perseus bet me a dollar that Obama wouldn't be the Democrat nominee this year.

I had a budgie with a vocabulary of about 20 words and a taste for red wine. He ended up in a large aviary with about 50 other budgies which is about as good as it gets for a domestic bird. We get the suburban birds here, I dont mind their singing but some of them built nests in the roof last spring and we all got bird lice bites which wasn't much fun.
