Yes, the KJV is so old. Christians today want a *fresh* bible. With pictures (particularly of some of the old testament stuff, woo woo!)

But she looks to pretty to have to go through such a nasty vetting process. She could pull a trick from HRC's bag and squeeze out a few tears, let her voice quiver just a touch. Swoon. Big bump.

You said the second chart from the link you listed is "is the best way to monitor the "race" if not the real issues." However, it's just as flawed and just as fallable a snapshot. But it's interesting to consider, along with the issues.

Just as they did with every candidate. It's an equal-opportunity vendetta. 1) Build hero. 2) Tear hero down. 3) Resurrect hero. 4) Repeat. ... he may.

You can slice and dice numbers however you wish. Those iffy states in 2004 made the difference for Bush, when looking at the 2nd chart it showed Kerry had healthy leads that eroded about the same time. I would also assume the number and content of "iffy states" changes throughout the polling so today's solid states for Obama may be "iffy states" in two weeks. Currently, a great deal of the "iffy states" are leaning towards McCain. That can change. The only numbers that really count is how they finish. And if polling was an exact science, we wouldn't have to vote.

A recent Washington Post story pointed out what McCain is up against: "but nobody has ever been elected to a third term for the same party in bad economic times," Beckel noted. "No one's ever been elected to a third term when you have an unpopular war. And most importantly, no one has been elected to a third term with an unpopular incumbent president. . . . Yet McCain has all three of those problems." And despite all this he's running neck and neck with Obama. I would think Obama supporters would be pulling their hair out over this. The WP story was, ironically on the day before Bush spo

Looking at the recent results is like admiring a tree and ignoring the forest. The ground McCain has made up over the past few months is impressive, to say the least.

It doesn't have to even be the equipment. In 2004, they shorted a number of largely democratic precincts on ballots and number of machines, forcing voters to have to return, or stand in long lines, while more conservative precincts were flush with booths half of which weren't even used. There are all sorts of ways to not rig an election, but to make the process more ... err ... flaccid.

That's a shame. It sounds like you've already written the book jacket. I take offense at that term. I'm pro-vote.

Alright, what particular drug(s) is this person on?

You may have a chance. She doesn't appear to exude firm convictions about abstinence.

House 'o cards. The reason all states have laws legalizing abortion is that any laws to make it illegal have been struck down due to Row v Wade.

I don't argue the experience part -- in fact, that's why I thought Palin made a great strategic move for McCain because it knocks the stilts out of that argument. I just don't understand where it makes him sexist. If Republicans attack Obama for lack of experience, does that make them racist? Well put. And that's why I'm still largely on the fence between the two candidates.

I think there's a leap in logic in here somewhere ... In a Reuters story, "Obama told CNN on Monday that Palin's level of experience as a former mayor of tiny Wasilla, Alaska, did not match his own, citing the size of his campaign. " "My understanding is that Gov. Palin's town, Wasilla, has I think 50 employees. We've got 2,500 in this campaign. I think their budget is maybe $12 million dollars a year -- we have a budget of about three times that just for the month," Obama had said. "McCain adviser Carly Fiorina said she was appalled and accused him of sexism." Where did pointing out l

He looks like the singer in all those creditreport.com commercials. Is a new military base part of the "rebuilding" process?

Liberman needs courage. Bush needs a brain. Katherine Harris needs to be blown to Kansas. It's time to see the wizard ...

My first thought was someone was too stupid to remove the social security number from a record. However, when they said it was the last four numbers of her SSN (the most readily available for any person) that were omitted, that sounds awfully fishy. Like giving a license to hunt (public record) bear to bloggers. The best rationalization, regardless of party, is that this is the work of an asshole. Crap like this can't be undone. There's no excuse for this. At. All.

You're right, I propose we have a concert for her.

I think the government fucks things up because you have unqualified people trying to claw their way up beyond their incompetence into seats of authority. With big business, a handful of people will bribe the incompetent, bilk as much money from them as they can, give less than they promise, if anything; offer to fix it at twice the price, fuck over as many people as possible, then bribe the same incompetents to allow them to hide the money from having to pay their share of taxes on it.

Isn't that the Chuck Norris site with search and replace "Chuck Norris" for "Sarah Palin"? Oh, and Palin looks better in snow boots.

If you turn it over to the private sector, they'll fuck it up twice at fast -- but at a profit!

But he's still in a dead heat with Bill O'Reilly

I don't think it's amazing at all -- given that Republicans -- men and women alike -- found the easiest attacks on Hillary Clinton her looks, not anything about her politically.
