And there in a nutshell you start to see why it is ILLEGAL for a candidate to offer appointed positions to people before the election. Sure, we have lots of fun speculating about cabinet positions. But the reason Obama hasn’t announced his preferences for those cabinet positions, and won’t before the election, is that it’s illegal and he knows it.

Here in Ohio, McCain is running a nasty TV ad that accuses Obama of being friends with a former Weather Underground member. The person in question apparently lives in Chicago near Obama, and the Republican Party decided to resurrect insinuations made by Sen. Clinton during the primary campaign.

Maybe my memory is faulty, but I recall that a couple Weather operatives blew themselves up with their own bomb. The McCain attack ad claims that Obama has a longstanding friendship with people “who blew up the US Capitol.” But, isn’t the Capitol still there?

Obviously, Ohio is important to McCain. There are no Obama ads here as invidious and paranoid as this recent attack ad from the Republicans.

John McCain has said that he has never been able to forgive a fellow prisoner of war for lying on tape for the North Vietnamese in exchange for better treatment. Yet nearly 40 years later McCain is willing to place lies before the camera in exchange for votes.

McCain responds to what the Vietnamese might call “fire in the lake” with paranoia-mongering and rewritten history. I’m voting for Obama.

That’s right — it’s practically impossible for McSame to lose Ohio and win the election.

but without us being pro-active insuring all voters get to vote and all precincts have ACCURATE machines, AND there is a paper trail, then mcccain WILL win ohio

we have laid back allowing these machines to still be in place, allowing their caging and their tactics to continue

ohio will not be ours unless we are pro-active and even then they might have the system gamed too much

remember, voting officials are for the most part, republican appointees

IIRC, Greg Palast’s Armed Madhouse had some really terrifying stories about election fraud in New Mexico in 2004, and noted that that system for stealing the vote in N.M. is still in place.

If you go to Greg Palast’s website, he has current information what is happening in New Mexico AND ELSEWHERE!

ego trumps smarts every time with some unfortunate souls.

Well, in Bill’s case, it wasn’t just his ego but his mini-me as well.

Planned parenthood is handing out “John McCain condoms”. Apparently they’re now for abstinence only.

A couple years back I was talking to a woman who told me that she planned to send her daughter to a private non-secular school because the local public high school taught students how to use condoms by unrolling them on bananas. She said, “I just don’t think that’s necessary.”
“Certainly not every time you eat a banana,” I replied.
