EXCERPT: According to the NYT:
An energized McCain, rallying supporters in Downingtown, Pa., reiterated his debate themes: He is independent of President Bush, he said, and Obama is a big-spending liberal who would harm small businesses.
"We can't spend the next four years as we've spent much of the last eight, waiting for our luck to change," McCain said. "As I mentioned last night to Sen. Obama, I'm not George Bush, and if he wanted to run against George Bush, he should have run four years...

EXCERPT: This started as a comment to my article Tuppence - READ THIS.  There, I challenged My 2 Cents and Postman to describe the process by which a fraudulent voter registration could be parlayed into a fraudulent vote.  Their lame responses led to the comment below.
Because this is about to break as front page news, it's time to leave that dialogue with the low-info GOPhers and start afresh.
My 2 Cents & Postman -   Your silence is most...

EXCERPT: Sure, anything can happen during the three weeks preceding an election - but don’t bet the farm that tonight’s debate will even begin to reverse John McCain’s plunge toward political oblivion! Can you think of anything that would restore voter confidence in John’s judgment? In a time of war and unprecedented economic screw-ups, McCain and Palin continue to unapologetically stoke hatred and prejudice among their low-info supporters instead of appealing to...

EXCERPT: Just so we're operating from the same ACORN knowledge base,please read this, My 2 Cents:
CNN Leads Media Failure on ACORN Story
By Zachary Roth - October 14, 2008, 6:26PM
Another day, another effort by the McCain camp to seize the political advantage over the bogus issue of ACORN and voter fraud.
This morning, the campaign trotted out former Missouri Republican senator John Danforth -- playing on his reputation for bipartisanship -- to call on Barack Obama to "rein in ACORN."
Said...

EXCERPT: What debate? McCain’s crotchety, inarticulate, outta-touch Grampy performance sure looked like it was geared to holding his low-info base together rather than appealing to undecided voters -- where I come from, that’s called desperation! Joe, the plumber? That Ohio dude with the tax lien on his house?  Can he be located in any Toledo it coincidental that his surname is the same as that of Charles Keating’s son-in-law who was busted for fraud along...

EXCERPT: a political cliffhanger! Sarah Palin's political skin is riding on today's Alaska Supreme Court ruling about the constitutionality of the Alaska Legislature's ethics investigation - and, by extension, so is John McCain's. Should the Supreme's block the investigation on the day before the investigator's report is due, everyone's home free - free to continue their desperate, meandering smear campaign in an attempt to salvage a...

EXCERPT: Yesterday, this exchange took place during the Q&A of a McSame Town Hall Meeting: Questioner: I'm mad. I'm really mad. And what's gonna surprise you, it's not the economy. It's the socialists taking over our country. [applause] Sit down, I'm not done! Thank you. Let me finish, please. [laughter]
McCain: Excuse me. [laughter]
Questioner: Thank you. I think its so important in today's country to see what we are missing and what's...

EXCERPT: The first question outta the chute at last night's presidential debate had to do with the candidates' selection of Hank Paulson's successor at Treasury and McSame's choice was stellar - Meg Whitman, late of eBay, now Co-Chair of the When Meg joined eBay as CEO, it was a dinky auction site with 30 employees and $4 million in annual revenues.  By the time she left, the company had 15,000 employees and was worth roughly $39 billion. Let's...

EXCERPT: expert on energy: "Let me speak specifically about a credential that I do bring to this table, Charlie, and that's with the energy independence that I've been working on for these years as the governor of this state that produces nearly 20 percent of the U.S. domestic supply of energy." 9/11/08  Never mind that the actual amount of energy produced by Alaska is only 3.5 percent! "Oil and coal? Of course, it's a fungible commodity and they...

EXCERPT: Like BAA Boy shows us in his rant against the print media, it’s easy to lose sight of the big picture when one focuses on the day to day coverage of the presidential race - but the Wall Street collapse and bailout was a seminal event in the nation’s history and in our politics. Americans have lost 1 trillion dollars in net worth in the last month alone! And, just as Bush's failures in Iraq have undermined his party's advantage on national security issues, this...
