Woops! I will go get the kids!

Grandpa says: no ferriner tells me how to vote…

Hi Swopa!!

Isn’t it great to get out of the house for a while and meet new people and discover new sights? Make new friends?

Meanwhile back at the Sunshine Happy House for the Socially Maladjusted, the inmates are dangerously agitated.

Then again, the prospect of a president whose foreign policy, for the first time in eight years, isn’t based on pandering to that fringe probably is exactly why Obama is so popular overseas.

Or, simply an appreciation of someone who speaks in complete coherent sentences.

If there were any confidence on the part of the McCane campaign, they’d plunk him down somewhere in Europe. Problem is, only protestors would show up.

I’m sorry I can’t stop. It’s been bottled up for so long after watching Bush belch and fart his way through diplomatic dinners. Why is anyone surprised that Obama hasn’t started a food fight with Angela Merkel or lit the table cloth with one of the candles just to see if the sprinklers worked?

Obama isn’t socialist, he’s socialized.

Or he might get lost and no one will give him directions.

Wisconsin, Michigan, Colorado and Minnesota have come closer to McCane since last month.

Latinos support Obama 3 to 1.

New Mexico shifted toward Obama.

CNN-tv.

Isn’t he already lost

If Obama loses the election, I hope he’ll spend the rest of his life going around the world making speeches.

McSame has been running a lot of television in Michigan. Started about 3 weeks before Obama had his first ads. With Michigan in a full fledged depression it’s hard to believe that McCain is competitive here but then all one has to remember is “What’s Wrong With Kansas” and of course a corporate media that both loves and fears Republicans.

I found him.

Difficult to know what the polls mean. From the looks of the McCain campaign (sausage anyone?) their internals can’t be very good anywhere. My current campaign fantasy is that he continues to implode to the point where the rethugs simply get discouraged and don’t turn out in November. Obama has played McCain like a fiddle on this trip. For someone who watched in horror as Dukakis’s campaign fell apart before our very eyes, his campaign so far is the balm of Gilead.

We’ll see how that goes closer to the election itself. Obama isn’t very visible campaign wise yet in MI. Especially in my part of West Michigan. But i’ve seen 3 Obama bumper stickers compared to just ONE lousy Mccain ‘08 one so far the in last month. That’s just without the campaign in full swing, at that.

Once the ground game kicks in, i sincerely doubt McCain will be able to catch up or stay ahead.

hey Ms Loo Hoo,

but wait, there’s more
Obama reported $432,000 in donations from Arizonans in June, compared with McCain’s $313,000

In total Arizona fundraising, BO is only $66k less than Mayor McCheese

Everytime McSame falls down and whines he “can’t get up” you can always count on a complicit and corrupted and banal corporate media to pick him up, dust him off and push his poll numbers.

cbl2! I love it. I don’t believe these polls. Something’s wrong. Anyway…the debates…

They have to keep the polls close so that when the election is stolen by the voting machines, it won’t look so bad. Our country is run by Corporations, not government. McCain is the corporate candidate.

What if Romney is the VP pick

Loo Hoo, Kerry destroyed Bush in the debates and it did not matter. As a previous commenter mentioned, some voters will not vote for a black man. Obama’s speech was great today and hopefully they play the part where he says that he loves America on the evening news. It might open some eyes.

Everybody see EW’s post about Porter Goss being appointed by Pelosi and Boner to the friggin’ Ethics Committee????? That just tells the whole story right there about what’s going on in our country. We are in deep shizzola.

The polls are close because most people know who McBush is- few know much about Obama- and there are still a large proportion of americans who won’t vote for an African American- they’re looking for an excuse not to.

ding.

Don’t count on the corporate media doing any favors for Obama.

Popular overseas, and oh so popular here between the seas, eh, Swopa?

Lessee, Obama delivers speech to cheering crowd nearing [over?] a quarter million in Germany, stressing tearing down walls, working together for great goals and challenges…whether native born or immigrant….

McCain gnashes teeth in front of German restaurant in Ohio, stressing more division and hate.

Prairie contemplates going to the German restaurant down the road in the Minnesota tall timber this weekend to celebrate her German roots…immigrant-based blended with her native-born American-ness…and the power of “Yes, we can.”

Fired up for the sauerbraten and spaetzels.

We are all the children of immigrants…and the parents of our destiny.

Saw that. Help us.

just a coincidence? it would probably be unseemly and ill-advised to point out that McCranky had light-in-house-loafers Lindsay Graham join him at the Fudge Haus.

This is really quite simple. To be respected in the world, we must be hated. If foreigners like Obama, it’s clear he’s not doing his job. Vote for John McCain, an American the world can really hate!

This message paid for by Antipodeans for McCain.

The original meat and potatoes! I love aebleskivers too (I think they’re Danish, though). My ancestors were on the cheap boat from Prussia to NY up the Erie canal to Buffalo…1846. back then you didn’t have to be brown to be considered an unwanted immigrant…we’re doing OK now.

Obama has played McCain like a fiddle on this trip. For someone who watched in horror as Dukakis’s campaign fell apart before our very eyes, his campaign so far is the balm of Gilead.

Can you sing Balm, balm, balm, balm Gilead to the Beach Boys?

All rational people will vote the Obama. No accounting for how the rest will vote.

Ew. Did you catch the way he was sucking on his teeth whenever a question was asked? Sickening.

OMG he didn’t start talking about the Packers line up again did he? not in front of the fudge haus…

Not too long ago the presidential campaigns got started on Labor Day and the American people made up their minds after the World Series.

Now, the presidential contenders have moved their campaigning schedules up, but I am not sure the average American voter has. As such, I suspect most of this is much to do about very little. Sure, the pundits and partisans, like us, are paying very close  attention, but not the folks that will decide this election.

Hi Hugh!

Everybody see EW’s post about Porter Goss being appointed by Pelosi and Boner to the friggin’ Ethics Committee????? That just tells the whole story right there about what’s going on in our country. We are in deep shizzola.

Goss probably found the tapes of Pelosi giggling over torture when he headed the CIA and kept a copy.

Hi back at you. What’s up at the Lake today?

McCane called Iraq the first major conflict since 9/11!

What a freaking doofus.

Dang Dentu cream

this I don’t like: McCain is saying all kinds of stupid shit, nasty shit while Obama is drilling 3 point shots, being mobbed by troops, speaking to 200k people in Berlin, yet the polls are close. i don’t like national polls anyway, but still……. I’d like to see Barack further ahead

I don;t think 200,000 people – in total – are going to come out and see McCain between now and November.

That’s why he didn’t think we needed more troops in Afghanistan, I guess.

McCane called Iraq the first major conflict since 9/11!

This is unfair. It was just after his nap and he was still confused and cranky. Everyone knows that the first major conflict after 9/11 for John McCain was Vietnam.

There will probably be lots of loud, xenophobic remarks from the Republics now. Those weren’t 200k ‘mericans, after all.

I’m actually thinking that McCain is having trouble with facts. He seems okay if he repeats the same three lines over and over again but after that his bus starts to go wobbly. CBS probably just felt bad for the old geezer and that’s why they cleaned up his answers. (yeah, right)

McCane called Iraq the first major conflict since 9/11!

and all this time I thought it was Sauce vs. Rub

It’s no wonder that Powell hasn’t endorsed him. Powell is probably being leaned on not to endorse anyone since his silence on McCain is apparent.

Condi refused to say who she’d vote for too.

I’m actually thinking that McCain is having trouble with facts.

He’s a Republican. All Republicans have trouble with facts.

He’s waiting for the next guy, once McCain quits: “I will not accept, the nomination of my party for a term as your president.”

BO’s campaign is getting close to rolling out endorsements from a lot of high profile repubs.

OT Froomkin discusses the annual list of salaries of those working in the White House. My favorite is:

Staci A. Wheeler, the White House’s director of fact checking, is — at $60,000 — either being paid way too little or way too much, depending on how you want to look at it.

Republicans go with dogma

sometimes a sports headline captures the eye:

Lieberman returning to action in WNBA

As Vice President?

Please welcome John Gorenfeld to FDL, upstairs.

I’m actually thinking that McCain is having trouble with facts. He seems okay if he repeats the same three lines over and over again but after that his bus starts to go wobbly.

He’s having trouble with fiction too. He can’t remember in the afternoon the shit he made up in the morning.

I can’t see McCain dropping out. Even if CBS stopped cleaning up his gaffes, and his polling plummented, he still wouldn’t. IMO He’d just tell the higher ups to f**k off.

Scary!!!!

How do you know this?

Aren’t you the Pollyanna. Could have said the same thing in 2000 & 2004. Have to keep in mind that America is populated with ignorance, racism, xenophobia and just plain dipshitism.

Why would Obama want the endorsement of someone who tried to cover up the My Lai massacre? Why would Obama want the endorsement of someone who peddle Republican propaganda at the United Nations? Oh, that’s right, Americans have the memory of gnats. Bring on the endorsement. The rubes will be impressed.

A vote for McCain is a death-wish.
