Honestly, if everyone just watched the Daily Show and Colbert Report every night, the GOP couldn’t get away with half of the ridiculous garbage the MSM is afraid to call them out on.

Which is why you go back day after day for over two years? Because Josh Marshall has about as much journalistic integrity as Rush Limbaugh? Is that why you listen to Rush daily, too, lack of journalistic integrity?

You’re so full of shit, it’s coming out of holes most humans don’t have.

Also, great post from a local Alaska blogger on the Women Reject Palin rally in Anchorage.

yea

Speaking of fund raising, people saying Obama won’t have a huge financial advantage going forward are missing the point. First, he has already spent a TON of money on the ground operation, something McCain is way behind in — Obama has far more offices, campaign workers, etc. busy registering and getting voters out in swing states. Also, in recent elections, because the RNC has had a huge fundraising advantage over the DNC, the dems have been at an enormous DISadvantage. Because Obama will raise far more money than McCain, the total expenditures going forward will be fairly even, something that would have been impossible had Obama took public financing (the system is of course a total joke when people can given far MORE money to the parties and 527′s than they can to individual candidates in all events). And while Obama and Biden are busy at fundraisers, they have a lot more energy than McCain, so they still pack in just as many public campaign events as McCain does (compare the schedules). And McCain, w/out Palin, does not draw people or attention, meaning Obama and Biden can split up more effectively on the trail.

Dick could have a hay-day with that.

clearly, this isn’t dissuading him (which is funny. He should, as a proponent of “strategic voting” living in MA, realize that across the four or five of us in this competition he’s been the cause of a total donation of roughly $1000. Considering that Kerry’s cost per vote was $5.52, that’s not very strategic of hwc…)

I just (5 minutes ago) emailed $50.00 to Obama. It was an irresistible ‘matched donation’ drive. But since I’m not counting that as part of my HWC BS OBAMA FUND, consider your balance taken care of; a token of appreciation from me for handling such a dour job.

I told Rory to keep going with the tally. I have set an amount to donate when I pay bills in about a week and it more than covers the Fund so far.

That is, if he can stand to keep count. It’s a rather unpleasant responsibility, IMO.

i technically owe $10 more towards the campaign (and probably another $50 since, but i can’t keep this up). then again I got a shirt, and that’s technically a donation…lol.

$50 that hwc doesn’t respond to McCain’s lying, Palin’s being worse about earmarks than Obama despite the fact that she’s running on it and he is not, McCain’s being a sexist, or the internals show Palin’s approval rating being less than Biden’s. – ce

What fool would take that bet?

$210. I donated on-line here, http://www.donate.barackobama.com. Who won the pool? Soph Mom?

and why would an alaskan governor get contributions from freddie and fannie mac? lmao. then again, this is the problem with trying to defend a dishonorable campaign…eventually, you really do have to try to make 2+2 = 5.

and what in gods name does dick durbin have to do with anything? nevermind…i don’t want to know.

And why is Obama late to the party? I believe that Senator McCain has NEVER requested an earmark. So, yeah…let’s make that a campaign issue.

It’s nice to know someone is keeping track.

It will bet money, that after some time passes, there will be a plethora of McCain campaign insiders stepping forth to expose the ugliness of the strategy. Whatever decent folk are involved in it will eventually feel the need to fess up.

Normally I wouldn’t bother with such a correction, but since I got in trouble for citing the Anchorage paper publishing an AP story, I figured tit-for-tat was necessary. Also, since I generally detest Kaus, I figued others might view the advice differently coming from Halperin, for what it’s worth.

“But now suddenly, John McCain says he is about change, too. He even started using some of my lines. Suddenly he says he wants ‘to turn the page.’ He had an ad today that he started running that he and Gov. Palin would bring the change that we need. He had this in an advertisement. Sound familiar? Let me tell you something, instead of borrowing my lines he needs to borrow our ideas,” Obama said.

He followed up with [a] dig on lobbyists, saying “if you think those lobbyists are working day and night for John McCain just to put themselves out of business, well then I’ve got a bridge to sell you up in Alaska.”

Also, according to Daily Kos, over the last five days (again, Daily Kos is on the far left, BUT, presumably it uses a consistent methodology in its own daily tracking polls) Palin’s approval rating has from plus 17 to plus 4 — a fairly dramatic drop. Her approval rating is now about 12 points below Biden’s. Basically, the more people see of Palin and the more they learn about her, the less they like her.

please, i dare you, give me one example of Josh Marshall being anywhere near as ridiculous as limbaugh. i beg you.

and if you know more smears, congrats. that doesn’t make the smears you do post (see the latest from the NY Post lie department) any less pathetic.

During an appearance Friday on ABC’s “The View,” Sen. McCain said Gov. Palin shared his views, and hasn’t sought congressional earmarks. “Not as governor she hasn’t,” he said.

The point of the WSJ providing the Palin earmark info was to contradict the BALD FACED LIE from your chosen candidate. Which question covers lying to the American people in your personal “commander in chief” test? If they were touting her reduction of earmarks, that would be a FACT on which individuals can place whatever value they choose. But no, instead they just lie. Lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie.

More than ‘sounds like’….
