I'm sure Alex would have been a real source of solace to the doofus on Nov 5.

Also, I think the week point of Rove's and the evangelicals' strategy is that it tends to make California, a state that voted for Republican presidential candidates for a generation until '92, more solidly Democratic in terms of the EC

Yes. California is #2 in Starbucks-to-Wal*Mart ratio!

Well now that he's not working full time, he has more resources to devote to that militia thing he's got going.

One way or another. It's either celebratory or consolatory.

I hope that doesn't backfire... He should be like, "I'm going to step aside, and give you a commercial-free episode of CSI!"

Not necessarily "not taking anything for granted":


"Obama's theme is not just change but unity, so he's appealing to the whole nation rather than a handful of tossup states," Sabato said. "He wants to win the popular vote by a good margin, which will enable him to govern."

And he's got the cash for it, Sabato said.

"This is another indication, if there needs to be any more, that Barack Obama's got more money than (available) television time to buy," said Evan Tracey, COO of the Campaign Media Analysis Group in Arlington, Va.

caek, Thursday, 9 October 2008 22:58 (fifteen years ago) link

lol drunk on campaign contributions - cant keep that money!

joseph sixpack (ice crӕm), Thursday, 9 October 2008 22:58 (fifteen years ago) link


The buy will push CBS comedy "The New Adventures of Old Christine" to 8:30 p.m. and pre-empt "Gary Unmarried." NBC typically airs the hourlong "Knight Rider" in the slot, and will likely throw in a comedy repeat at 8:30 p.m. The buy is being placed by Washington-based ad firm GMMB. Obama's ad will air on the night before the start of November sweep.

caek, Thursday, 9 October 2008 22:59 (fifteen years ago) link

ahahah

caek, Thursday, 9 October 2008 22:59 (fifteen years ago) link

Seriously, this is a way confident move from Obama

caek, Thursday, 9 October 2008 23:01 (fifteen years ago) link

joseph sixpack (ice crӕm), Thursday, 9 October 2008 23:02 (fifteen years ago) link

this'll serious piss off the new Knight Rider fan demographic! he's going to lose those three votes

"wow. news networks showing some angry ass fired up people at the mccain rally today."

Yeah, saw some older guy foaming at the mouth about "those hooligans". Also saw a brief snippet of a black McCain supporter that drove the 99% white crowd into joyous applause. My roommate said McCain gave him a hug, but I didn't see it.

lol these guys.

circa1916, Thursday, 9 October 2008 23:14 (fifteen years ago) link

"you know who supports me? That one!"

Shakey Mo Collier, Thursday, 9 October 2008 23:20 (fifteen years ago) link

well, mccain answered by saying "the man is right that people are angry" and then shifted uncomfortably to saying that he would work with anybody to fix the problems of the country, to very little applause.

i don't want to push the meme that it's not mccain's fault his campaign is so toxic or beyond his control. he's going all in. i think it's a number of things: i think he's had a dream of a huge centrist everybody-loves-me win for a long time, and that's out the window. i think he knows that this outpouring of base energy is due to loving palin and hating obama and nothing to do with him -- that's gotta sting. and, maybe somewhere, is the realization that even if he does pull this off he going to be very alone in washington in 09

goole, Thursday, 9 October 2008 23:24 (fifteen years ago) link

his "I'll work with anybody" schtick is getting increasingly funny/uncomfortable the more readily apparent it becomes that uh, no one wants to work with him. Including his own party.

Shakey Mo Collier, Thursday, 9 October 2008 23:26 (fifteen years ago) link

he going to be very alone in washington in 09

Welcome to Lieberman's world.
