"Or half of him happy anyway since Obama on one ocassion said he was rooting for the Phillies and on another ocassion said he wanted the Rays to win it all."
Obama said he is a White Sox fan who was rooting for the Phillies because of his campaign manager. In a rally in FL he talked about some Rays players and a White Sox fan being able to show each other love.
Compare that to Palin who delivered a speech about being the underdogs and how the Rays, Sox, Phils fans all knew that. She only bothered to change the name of the team leaving the speech the same.
The lesson as always? Right wingers lie.
The lesson for the day? Right wingers are hypocrites too.

So, if every one is so confident that Obama's certificate is authentic, please explain why he refused to let the "COURT" not the "NEWSPAPERS" to determine the authenticity. Why did he refuse to release the record to the court, why did he refuse to release the original certificate, not the one generated by computer.
Can WaPo sign off on the authenticity issue? even the Hawaii Health Department has refused to do that. All the confirmation is "it appeared similar to other Hawaii birth certificates."
Ask this question to yourself. If some one ask you to proof your birth place, how difficult or what damage could do to you if you just simply showing your original birth certificate?

This news should make Chairman Obama very happy. Or half of him happy anyway since Obama on one ocassion said he was rooting for the Phillies and on another ocassion said he wanted the Rays to win it all.
Stll havent figured which half of the Chairman (black or white) pulled for which team. Perhaps it will come out in a therapy session. (I don't make this half stuff up. See Jake's story about Obama on Comedy Centra.)

"The most cringe-worthy political moment of the day, so far, came when Sen. John McCain called out for his new buddy Joe the Plumber to stand up at a rally in Ohio, only to be greeted with confused silence. Joe the Plumber wasn't there.
But that rally featured another embarrassing moment, one that illustrates a far more troubling dynamic for the Republican ticket.
The McCain campaign actually had to bus in school kids from the surrounding area in order to fill the event. "

Will the MSM do their job?

This has been debunked over and over again by the MSM. From the Washington Post:
“The truth: Sen. Barack Obama, born in Hawaii, is a Christian family man with a track record of public service.”

Just for grins - can you pro McCain smear and sleaze posters say anything POSITIVE about YOUR candidate or can you only spew debunked, irrational, radical conspiracy theroies about his opponent?
Gee...You wonder why YOUR candidate is losing!

Amy:
please, put on your life presever vest, Republican ship is sinking quickly and all you have is the old 'birth certificate' rumor to cling to.............. outreach and hospice programs will be available to you free of charge after Obama wins the election.
Obama doesn't even have to mention McCain & Palin in is info-mercial to get his points across, and he can do it without the negativity...
Rumor and innuendo are all Republicans have left to campaign with.

amy: it is the protection act. She can't give out any information at all, NONE, except to a judge who orders it, then he will get just a copy.
Give it up already.

"I have learned you are one sick dude! Are you planning on killing yourself when McCain loses on November 4th? So much hate in your heart baby I'm surprised you can do much of anything else"
I hope your parents can afford to hire those specialists who de-program people brainwashed by cults. I thought Obama the informercial king had it in the bag. Worried much?

Okay, here's some more good news for John McCain:
Oct. 30:
Arizona, NBC/Mason-Dixon McCain 48, Obama 44
Arizona, CNN/Time McCain 53, Obama 46
Oct. 29:
Texas, University of Texas McCain 51, Obama 40
Missouri, CNN/Time McCain 50, Obama 48
Georgia, CNN/Time McCain 52, Obama 47
Alaska, Rasmussen McCain 57, Obama 41
Of course, the bad news is that, of 47 state polls that RCP reported results for in the past 2 days, these were the only ones that McCain lead in.
And, of these polls, Missouri is the only one that Obama is really contesting McCain for.

Yes Dave I hope VA is blue too! Looking pretty good for the commonwealth of VA doesn't it?
----------------------
I'm in the Charlottesville area. It's certainly Obama territory. NOVA is absolutely turning out for Obama.
But we still have the Kentucky/Tennessee Virginians down south.
It will come down to numbers at the polls. My biggest fear is a collapse in the voting process. The state has already been sued for being unprepared for the turnout.
The only way McCain wins is if they can rig this election like they did in 2000.

Hey, Lettuce...you are right, but what else can we do?...if the tables were turned (had the economy not flipped out) you would be holding on to threads, too...and they do look like threads...
This is meant in good humor...We (McCain supporters) are stressin!
Posted by: Wade | Oct 30, 2008 2:30:15 PM
For me, there is no getting around the fact that the only way for Hillary to have any shot at running again in 2012 is for John McCain to win.
I'll probably take some flak, but this alone is reason enough why I plan to vote for him.
Posted by: Scott | Oct 30, 2008 2:29:41 PM
McCain is so far behind. The only way he can win this thing is if he wins Pennsylvania and that is not look good for him. You never know. If McCain wins I am moving to where the jobs are...Canada.
Posted by: becky | Oct 30, 2008 2:26:35 PM
What's McCain going to do?
He already tried Parah Salin. The chute worked for awhile, but it covered him up so that his message was muffled.
He already tried bringing in the plumber to fix the plumbing. When the plumber realized the campaign's was in the toilet, he skipped out.

their map looks like it hasnt been updated in like 3 months... as oregon isnt declared, michigan, wisconsin
** And for some reason, there are actually people out there that tell me Fox News isn't biased! lol Thats the only reason why McCain and Palin keep doing interviews with that network.. because it's conservative.. we all know what happens if anyone else asks them a question...
