When it’s 8:10PM and I am trying to put my kids to sleep and I get one of these calls, guess what? I am going to hang up on you. Moreover, I am going to vote for the other guy because some douche bag called my house and disturbed me.

Do us all a favor and stop calling. You are only hurting cause.

Also from Raw, something obvious that is now confirmed. Explains a lot:

Former Ambassador to Croatia Peter Galbraith is claiming President George W. Bush was unaware that there were two major sects of Islam just two months before the President ordered troops to invade Iraq, RAW STORY has learned.

RawStory should listen to Al Franken’s show. He’s been telling that anecdote for years. :)

Franken heard it way back when and passed it on then. He refers back to it all the time, and he mentions it every day now that it’s shown up in Galbraith’s book.

Gore won Florida — he was less than a 1,000 votes away from winning on the first tabulation. No way he should have blown off the state.

But I agree, he should not have abandoned Ohio and Missouri; that’s why Howard Dean’s 50 State Strategy is so important. Fight the bastards everywhere — concede nothing.

My take on it is that Gore wansn’t going to get FL no matter how many votes. Jeb was not going to let it happen. We should have written off the state, put our money in TN or DL or anywhere else and we’d have gotten the White House. It was overconfidence in the Lieberman effect that caused the miscalculation.
