It’s not easy keeping your campaign on the good side of decent. But I have been amazed by how the Campaign for Change has gone out of their way to keep their message positive. As Matt Damon said in an interview yesterday regarding his decision not to criticize the McCain/Palin ticket, “The Obama campaign has decided to focus on the […]

Happy National Chemistry Week. We chemists are a crazy bunch, I tell ya. “Chemists Cause Reactions”“Polymer Chemists Do It In Chains”“Experiment With a Chemist”“If You’re Not Part of the Solution, You’re Part of the Precipitate”“Chemists do it in an excited state.”“Chemists do it periodically on the table.” Bonus chemist joke:A chemist walks into a pharmacy and asks the pharmacist, “Do […]

Great graphic, nicked from The Daily Kos. (Data from BigTenPoll.org.) Me likes. Me likes a LOT. I’m just smilin’…

THIS is perfect. I look at these people and can’t quite believe that they exist. Are they professional actors? I wonder. Or are they simply laymen who want a lot of attention? To put them in perspective, I think of being on an airplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and, eventually, parks it beside […]

There’s an artist in Ann Arbor. She loves Senator Obama but she hates knocking on doors, making phone calls and entering data. So she took it upon herself to raise several hundred dollars in donations and then made dozens of LARGE yard signs for the Obama Campaign for Change. For free. We were lucky enough to score one of these […]

There’s no reasonable path to a McCain presidency that doesn’t include a win in both Pennsylvania and Florida. Here’s what Pennsylvania looks like today: Good luck with that, d00d… I’m just sayin’…

I commend your attention to this piece at the Huffington Post: Escape to Europe, Our Election Follows. I know the guy that wrote it ;) I’m just sayin’…

In Washtenaw county, home of Ann Arbor, Michigan, one of the most active community leaders in Senator Obama’s Campaign for Change voted for John McCain in the Michigan primary. He soon became disenchanted by a man who seemed not to care how long our young men and women remain in Iraq and this life-long Republican jumped ship and began working […]

Bit of a hiatus this week as I traveled to Belgium, Germany, and Italy for work. Interesting to see how focused on the US election Europeans are, mostly holding their breath, waiting for us to do the right thing and elect Barack Obama. Nobody over there that I spoke has anything but the highest admiration for him and complete puzzlement […]

Republicans in Michigan are freaking out. With the McCain campaign all but abandoning Michigan to the Democrats they are resorting to desperate measures. Tim Walberg is running an ad linking his opponent, Mark Schauer, to Michael Moore. Former Republican governor, William Milliken is backing away from McCain. And now the Republicans are petitioning the McPalin campaign to bring Palin back […]

It’s bad enough that someone did this in the first place but to then to just brush it off like it’s nothing really takes the cake. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama’s last name is spelled “Osama” on some 300 absentee ballots mailed out this week to voters in Rensselaer County hilltowns. Is it a Freudian slip, intentional gaffe or a […]
