More seriously, he was asking how could Pennsylvanians could "trust" Specter. Well, they can certainly trust Specter to kick the living shit out of Toomey in the general next year. I'd bet a thousand dollars Specter will increase his victory margin from 2004 against any Republican. Agains...

I think it's kind of weird that the media called Pennsylvania for Obama so quickly, especially since they've spent the last couple weeks acting as if McCain had a chance there. Also, I'm watching the results for Virginia coming in, and Obama is behind by double digits. I know it's probably just beca...

Georgia's not been called yet because the big cities aren't in, I'm pretty sure. Also, the exit polls and election day voting results should be skewed toward McCain because a disproportionate amount of Democrats voted early. Speaking of early voting, when will votes be counted and added to the tota...

I'm not sure what effect the endorsement itself will have on voters, but I'm thinking that it will open the door for more moderate Republicans to break ranks and endorse Obama if that's what they believe. Eventally, the far-right won't be able to write off those that do so as being motivated by race...

The last X-factor in the race is the media's obsession with Samuel Wurzerbacher. The Democrats have pulled ahead when the issues are at the forefront and people are made to look at facts and figures, but the Republicans excel when the political discourse becomes vapid and the focus is on personaliti...

How much good does it do FOX or even the GOP to act like its an even race? Who does it work for? I mean, I'm not saying they're above it, I am convinced of their own sided assmuggery, I just don't get what good it does them to predict it well for McCain in comparison to other networks? To keep Repu...

I would wait until after the debates before coming to any conclusions. Debates are only game-changers in extraordinarily close elections like 1960 and 2000, but if expectations for McCain are low enough where he can be considered the winner of the last two debates by virtue of not having a "hey...

I could actually see it backfiring on the McCain campaign. Even if Obama declared attacks on Bristol Palin off-limits, he could still condemn the Republicans for exploiting her condition for political gain and trying to distract the country from the issues. If people could see through McCain's "...

And he's back in Flip flop time Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain will participate in Friday night's debate with his Democratic rival, Sen. Barack Obama, McCain campaign staff said. McCain said earlier this week he would not attend the debate if an agreement had not been reached on a...

I think the male support for Palin is normal, it's just that the pick backfired among women. They might have seen McCain picking a half-term governor from one of the least-populated states with no apparent interest in national politics until recently in a perceived attempt to get their vote as conde...

Given the GOP's knack for taking the strengths of opposing candidates and turning it against them, I'm expecting them to try and turn Palin's lack of experience around and say "But she's not that much less experienced than Obama, and he's running for president! It's hypocritical for Democrats t...

It makes me wonder that the negative spin would be if Obama rescued 50 children from a burning orphanage.

Eight of nine projects derived from pre-existing comics, manga or movies. At least the risk of originality has been kept to a safe minimum, this year. It's still a step up from last year, when all the big movies were either "threequels" or based on a Saturday morning cartoon from the 80's.

The media goes on a lot about how Obama supposedly is weak for Hispanic voters, and Richardson might be able to help with that if it's true. Though I wouldn't bank on that as a main reason; I'd go for him for his energy and environmental policies and knowledge, and if he pulls in Hispanic voters wh...

Is it too soon to say that it's almost as perfectly round as Tim Russert's head?

If voting for the bill is part of an attempt to move to the center for the general election, I don't see it working. The right is going to be trotting out their "He's the Most Liberal Senator!" line no matter what, so all it will serve to do is alienate his base.

My earliest memories are from when I was about five, and involve my family going to see Bill Clinton when he was in our town and getting a cat. There are some other bits and pieces I remember, but those are the only two events I can put a date on.

I feel that we've only scratched the surface of attacks on Obama, and the GOP is going to spawn more memes than 4chan this election season in an attempt to find something they can stick to him.

Does this mean that Puerto Rico is one of the states that matters?

I think Crystal Skull was a passable flick, but they should have cut out some plot to give screen time to long shots of character interaction of dialogue-less drama. Except for some bits that were slowed down such as the diner they were in, the movie kept going at 100 mph which was just plain awful...

I can't say I liked it entirely. It felt like there too many plot points and shifts in tone, as if the script was pieced together from several early drafts. Irina was too one-note and didn't have enough screen time to be an effective villain, and the comic relief moments felt out of place (A student...

I do some things with either hand, but I can only write with my left hand and I consider myself left-handed accordingly.

I think Hillary's shameless, cynical pandering to blue-collar voters over the gas tax and Obama's "elitism" warrant a nickname for her. "Hillary the Cable Guy", perhaps?

Never, though I do seem to recall getting detention a couple of times for too many tardies. Edit: Tardies . Tardies, not absences. The same thing happened to me once. Except in my case, "tardy" meant "one minute late for homeroom, and only because the bus kept getting in late". ...

Now that voters have largely forgiven Obama for being friends with an angry black man and not being able to bowl, it's time for something else...
