Still though do we have any reliable numbers about who will vote and how many will make it past the GOP’s tricks to vote?
Or are all numbers on this election going to be hazy?
Will we need to take into account the vote suppression abilities of a strong local GOP machine next to a minority area when making voting predictions?
Are places with high numbers of GOP voter suppression going to be the place to watch this election?
Is the Ghost of Kathrine Harris McCain’s last hope?

You may feel free to begin the “relentless” mockery that I understand is now mandatory for trolls of the “troofer” bent such as myself. I confess all in shame, for I have, subversive and idiotic, as I yesterday learned it is, formed doubts as to the official explanation, something that years of training and observation led me do. Research has reinforced these questions. What I have regarded as logic, I have learned is merely rightwing militia like behavior, but I hope you folks tolerate my presence nonetheless. I promise, as in the past, to keep my positions on these matters to myself, unless directly questioned. I do not, however, appreciate direct personal attacks such as took place yesterday. btw, Matt will never make a scab on Hunter’s ass.</p> <p>I’m also sorry I devoted any effort at all to defending Amanda.</p> Good morning everyone!

Something is up thought the Saudi’s are asking oil consuming nations to send people to the meeting, are the Saudi’s really concerned abut what they think or what they have to offer?
Bush gave me a Nuclear Reactor and Uranium what will the rest of you countries give me for cheap oil?
With Friends like these Israel doesn’t need enemies.
After all friends don’t give your enemies Nukes!

It’s Dowd, Friedman, Kristof and Rich today. MoDo says that “W Regrets Almost Nothing,” and that during his farewell European tour, President Bush was still pushing, but more softly, the same refrain that turned Europe so virulently anti-American. Mr. Friedman writes a “Letter From Cairo,” and says if prices keep soaring, food and fuel could reshape politics around the developing world as much as nationalism or Communism did in their days. Mr. Kristof talks about “The Weapon of Rape,” and says The United Nations and its member states seem to finally be recognizing that systematic mass rape is at least as much an international outrage as, say, pirated DVDs. Mr. Rich asks “Angry Clinton Women Heart McCain?” He states that the same Republican operatives who gleefully insulted Hillary Clinton are now peddling the fable that her female supporters will desert their own party en masse.</p> <p><a href="http://mgpaquin.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow">http://mgpaquin.wordpress.com/</a></p> <p>The coffee and tea are ready, and I’ve got French toast waffles this morning.
