EXCERPT: The Mandate So, after Sen. Obama dismantled Sen. McCain, and the Democratic Party swept up bigger majorities nationally in both chambers of congress, we can say clearly that Pres. Elect Obama has a clear mandate for his platform. What did this include? Getting US troops out of Iraq, in 16 months National Healthcare reform, getting universal coverage, and stronger regulation of HMO’s Alternative Energy Rebuilding America’s Infrastructure Jobs here, let...

EXCERPT: Here is how the polls are shaping up, and how I see the final numbers---
The polling is showing O - 51 Mc- 44
I think the national total will be more like O - 51 Mc - 47 with the rest going about 1% each to McKinney, Nader, and Barr.
The EV though is going to O - 353 vs Mc - 185
With McCain dropping all of PA, FL and OH - which he needs all 3 to win in any scenario. Among the swing states McCain will take IN, and MO, Obama will take VA, NC, and all 3 of PA, OH and FL.
The biggest...

EXCERPT: So Sen. John McCain made the centerpiece of his presidential campaign Joe the Plumber. I'm not sure how many central themes this is, 5 or 6, but anyhoo, problems began to scurry out immediately. McCain's meme was that regular guys like Joe would get hit with higher taxes, and not work as hard.
Joe owes back taxes, which means whatever Joe is charged, he ain't paying anyhow.
Joe isn't a licensed Plumber.
Joe makes less than $250,000 meaning he'll get a tax break under Obama's plan.
The...

EXCERPT: It turns out that Arizona's very own Straight Talker has chosen to try to link others they've served on community boards with as ideological life mate, which if McCain says it, it must be true.
But if that is true, then what are we to make of John McCain's involvement with the US Council for World Freedom, which was a part of an umbrella of anti- Semite hate groups, aimed at destabilizing and overthrowing communists, and as a gathering place for racist kooks, anti- Semites, and right...

EXCERPT: The Mortgage FUBAR Deregulation Credit Crisis, with solutions!
What is going on, and why?
· After the biggest expansion of easy money and credit in world history, we are experiencing the greatest contraction of credit.
· That contraction is the result of big banks and hedge funds not knowing who is holding mountains of bad loans, and if they extend credit to some bank that is in trouble, that could destroy both firms. That means that none of them are willing to lend to each other.
But...

EXCERPT: Here we can track all the McCain lies. When in American history has an entire campaign been so completely dishonest?
The Obama sex education / stranger danger ad from McLiar
Sarah Palin's "Bridge to Nowhere" evolving positions
The Surge tastic Iraqi Victory (TM), that is only just around the corner
McCain's POW interrogation story evolving from the Packers O-line to the Steelers, depending on whichcity he's in
The claims of McCain back last Nov, and Dec, against Rudy Ghouliani and the...

EXCERPT: Adam, I'll try again, to tell you you are right.
Yes, Bill Clinton, a Democratic president and a DLC centrist was a corporatist and free marketeer, along with Bob Rubin and Alan Greenspan.
Now, explain to me how you have a free market, with no regulations, and not have corporations take over everything. The corporations already have all the money (or lots of it), and with no regulations to limit them, what will happen?
And please, answer the question. I don't want 90 cut and paste...

EXCERPT: First night Michelle Obama.
Nice speech, good intro to who Barrack is
Not a forceful advocate, but she's the future First Lady, not a political hack
She killed the rumors of crazy BS the Fox News mouth breathers push
2nd night, Sen. Hillary's speech
What a great speech
forceful message, did everything to unify her party behind Barrack
The part on Underground Railroad, Keep Going was great
If this Hillary had been on the ground in Iowa and New Hampshire, running with nothing to lose,...

EXCERPT: To keep it simple, I'm just cut and pasting directly from Sen. Obama's website from his issue positions, with my comments between with a bullet.
Economy
As president, Barack Obama will implement a 21st century economic agenda to help ensure that America can compete in a global economy, and ensure the middle class is thriving and growing. He will increase investments in infrastructure, energy independence, education, and research and development; modernize and simplify our tax code so...

EXCERPT: For the Republicans
ex Gov. Romney
ex Gov Huckabee
Gov Jindall
ex Sen Fred Thompson - oh, please!?
Sen. Liebermann
Or who else?
For the Democratic side
Sen. Biden
Gov. Sebellius
Gov. Richardson
Gov. Kaine - VA
Gen. Clark
Sen. Reed - RI
Sen. Bayh
ex Sen Daschle

My guess for both are
Rep. Portmann, for McCain - former Budget manager, smart guy on economy, he actually warned Bush about the deficit and inflation and the $'s value, back in 2002. McCain likes him, and he has no...
