Win.

If not, go vote. Even if you’re an Obama supporter. Just remember, Obama folks, the polls close at 10:00PM. Better show up at 9:00 just to be safe.

Another reason to vote McCain ‘08.

Wow. This guy is gonna be fun to watch.

When Texas senator Kirk Watson appeared on MSNBC a while back endorsing Barack Obama, he couldn’t name one Obama legislative accomplishment, instead emphasizing how “inspiring” the man was.

How convenient. Since Obama’s “change you can believe in” has turned into lots of dollar bills he can believe in, he’s opting out of public financing. I picked a good day to wear my Obama shirt.

This article was a really interesting read. I have no doubt that people might debate the usefulness of the sources cited in some cases, but even if someone were to discount half of the issues here, there are still a mountain of questions that need answering.

Here’s McCain’s recent address to AIPAC, which deals in part with Iran. A choice quote from it is as follows:

The Iranians have spent years working toward a nuclear program. And the idea that they now seek nuclear weapons because we refuse to engage in presidential-level talks is a serious misreading of history. In reality, a series of administrations have tried to talk to Iran, and none tried harder than the Clinton administration. In 1998, the secretary of state made a public overture to the Iranians, laid out a roadmap to normal relations, and for two years tried to engage. The Clinton administration even lifted some sanctions, and Secretary Albright apologized for American actions going back to the 1950s. But even under President Khatami – a man by all accounts less radical than the current president – Iran rejected these overtures.

Even so, we hear talk of a meeting with the Iranian leadership offered up as if it were some sudden inspiration, a bold new idea that somehow nobody has ever thought of before. Yet it’s hard to see what such a summit with President Ahmadinejad would actually gain, except an earful of anti-Semitic rants, and a worldwide audience for a man who denies one Holocaust and talks before frenzied crowds about starting another. Such a spectacle would harm Iranian moderates and dissidents, as the radicals and hardliners strengthen their position and suddenly acquire the appearance of respectability.

This is the guy that Barack Obama would agree to meet with, without preconditions. A quote from Ahmadinejad in the article:

I must announce that the Zionist regime (Israel), with a 60-year record of genocide, plunder, invasion and betrayal is about to die and will soon be erased from the geographical scene. Today, the time for the fall of the satanic power of the United States has come and the countdown to the annihilation of the emperor of power and wealth has started.

Sounds like a great idea, B.O.
