John McCain says Barack Obama is the reason you're paying over $4.00 for a gallon a gas. It couldn't have something to do with that war in the Middle East you supported, eh, John?

Nah; didn't think so.  

Found this over at Political Wire:

Here's a timely book that came in the mail today: The Almanac of Political Corruption, Scandals & Dirty Politics by Kim Long.

From the book cover: "American history is marked by era-defining misdeeds, indiscretions, and the kind of tabloid-ready scandals that politicians seem to do better than anyone else. Now, for the first time, one volume brings together 300 years of political wrongdoing in an illustrated history of politicians gone wild -- proving that today's scoundrels aren't the first, worst, and surely won't be the last."

I have a feeling this will become a useful book in my library.

Three centuries worth in 368 pages, too: Kim Long must be either admirably terse or interested only in listing the highlights (or lowlifes, as the case may be).

Pretty cool, Geoff.  And I still don't think neither of these two "bozos" would make a decent president.  But who can we choose from????  The pickings are slim to none.

^There have been worse years; both candidates this year are noticeably better than say, Bush and Gore in 2000.

This is Pollster.com's take on where we are right now. As usual, watch Florida, Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania above all others. Virginia and Colorado are two more that are going to be interesting because, demographically, parts of those states have been trending Democratic in recent years.

Very interesting Geoff.  November is going to be a very, very "electrified" month during Election Day.

You thought the gas ad was too much? How about an ad equating Barack Obama with Paris Hilton and Britney Spears?

I think Obama has as much of what it takes to be a decent president as anyone, and more than everybody else running this season. Going back: Bush, Clinton, Bush, Reagan, and so forth ... which one of those guys looked like Lincoln when they were running? Can't think of anyone else who would do a better job than Obama off the top of my head.

I liked McCain a lot better before I got a close up of him this election season, now I see that he would definitely preside over Bush's 3rd term (or maybe more accurately, the 3rd term of those who want to continue Bush's policies).

...but we've already had one swine for president; just ask Gennifer Flowers, Kathleen Willy, Paula Jones, or any other member of the cast of dozens (if not thousands).

Hey, just because many have been loved doesn't make one a swine!

Where is THE Swine when we need him? Oink!!  

The truth is that B. Obama will never be the next US president. Decent politicians never rise to the top. All the fuss about him is just political games, a show to demonstrate how democratic society is if one candidate is from an ethnic group. Answer the question honestly and sincerely: do you believe that B. Obama will become president? No, no one will let him. The outcome is obvious. That is why the drive against Obama is being unleashed now. It is like it was with Kerry: they waited for some time and then struck hard at his Vietnam records.
Nevertheless, if Obama becomes president (0.5% possibility), I will be the first to say that all is not lost for this world and democracy...

I think O'bama will be the next president, but I am sick with the thought that he might not be.

If I were old enough to vote, I think I'd vote for Obama, though I don't really enjoy either Obama or McCain too much just for my own little reasons. I was a major Kucinich supporter, but even in the beginning of that, I had little hopes for him to become president. And besides, I think I am a little too young to decide whether I'm a democrat or a republican. Way too many people just follow what their parent's beliefs were (for obvious reasons), but I'd rather think for myself when I'm not so confused with the world. Which'll be never haha, politics confuse me too much.

i am a little young to vote but i would vote for obama
