No, I’m not talking about flip-flops. Flip-flops, schmip-flops. I’m talking about how he feels about Barack Obama. First he spends pretty much the entire campaign saying Obama hasn’t had any significant impact in the Senate so far, that he voted “present” all the time. Okay, I’m with you, John. It’s true that Barack has not spent anywhere near the time […]

Seems like Barack Obama has started to find the whole McPalin campaign a little pathetic. I love this passive-aggressive slam: This morning Senator McCain gave a speech in which his big solution to this worldwide economic crisis was to blame me for it. This is a guy who’s spent nearly three decades in Washington, and after spending the entire campaign […]

Holy shit. John Neffinger brings up a VERY good point. Hello? If McCain Had His Way, That’d Be Our Social Security Money Wall St. is Losing. Eep. I’m just sayin’…

I was raised by a single mother and an ardent feminist. She dragged my brother and I to Equal Rights Amendment rallies and to hear prominent feminist women speak. Our house was papered with posters which said things like “Women are Not Chicks” and “Men of Quality are Not Threatened by Women for Equality”. I even sported a button that […]

Governor Palin took a break from using her “Theenks, But New Theenks” line in her stump speeches last week. You know, when she was actually in Alaska. Where they know more than they probably care to about bridges to nowhere and stuff. This week she’s back in the lower 48 and guess what? Yup. She’s back to theenking but new […]

Another night of phone banking last night and another full house. Our township leadership team and their volunteers have had to move our twice-weekly phone bank to a new location in Ann Arbor due to an overwhelming response and, last night, we ran out of phones at the new location! People are just showing up to say, “what can I […]

As I have been phonebanking and canvassing for Senator Obama’s Campaign for Change for the past two months, one of the focuses has been on “undecided” voters – voters identified by the campaign as on the fence. I have talked to a great deal of people who say they haven’t decided yet. In many of these conversations, by the end […]

I walked into the local Democratic Party offices last night, on a day of disappointing national poll numbers for the Obama campaign, prepared to see a team of sullen phone-bankers. Boy, was I wrong. Rather than being dejected about McCain’s poll bump, our volunteers were more excited than ever to talk to undecided voters. Because mixed in with the news […]

…You call it more of the same. Awesome ad from the Obama campaign. My wife and I have decided to make up new bumperstickers that say: Being Out of Touch Doesn’t Make You a Maverick. Absolutely stunning editorial by Frank Rich of the New York Times this week. Lots and lots of money quotes. Here’s a choice selection. We still […]

Are they just too stupid to realize the irony in so much of what they do? Does the McPalin campaign not understand the concept or are they simply too Goddamn dumb? I don’t get it. Ms. Palin was speaking at an airport rally that drew thousands of wildly enthusiastic people in Colorado Springs, rock solid Republican territory, where the crowd […]

“I mean, c’mon! They must think you’re stupid!” Actually, I’m pretty sure they do… He also said of Sarah Palin: “Don’t be fooled,” Obama told the crowd surrounding him in a large barn. “John McCain’s party, with the help of John McCain, has been in charge” for nearly eight years. “I know the governor of Alaska has been saying she’s […]
