Obama knocks on doors, surprises voters
Barack Obama jetted back to Ohio today to spend three days preparing for his final debate with John McCain. But before he holed up with his advisers, the candidate began knocking on doors in Holland, Ohio, making his way through a neighborhood of modest ranch and split-level homes. His move to the Toledo area comes as a new Ohio Newspaper poll puts the race at a dead heat, 48-46 for McCain. That's tightened considerably since the group's September survey had Obama down six points, 48-42. Sue Sekel, a 43

Obama Noose Poster New Low In Citizen Propaganda [The Internet]
Those people making Barack Obama monkeys and booing John McCain for saying Obama is a person "you do not have to be scared of?" Some of them have blogs! Which means they are free to put all sorts of terrible things on the Web, like the virtual poster at left, the one with Obama, a noose, and the headline, "Asphyxiation/The Fucking Solution." The gent who made that lovely thing, and posted it to his website Sunday night, said he did so in retaliation for comparably nasty images of Sarah Palin (also at left),

Gains for Obama among people of faith
A new survey on faith and American politics shows Democratic nominee Barack Obama making inroads among some believers and moving ahead of Republican John McCain among Roman Catholics, largely because of young Catholics’ support. In the biggest shift over the past four years, Senator Obama now wins the backing of 60 percent of voters who attend religious services once or twice a month, a jump from the 49 percent the Democratic nominee won in 2004. Senator McCain holds the advantage only among the highly

Obama, flush with cash, buys up primetime network TV
Well it looks like Barack Obama can have the stage all to himself after all — and he doesn’t need John McCain to suspend his campaign to do it. The Democratic nominee for President is going the route of Matthew Lesko, Miss Cleo and Richard Simmons. He’s doing an infomercial. Prime time The Obama campaign is buying up the equivalent of waterfront property on the airwaves, purchasing 30-minute blocks of prime time on CBS and NBC. Expensive? Very. Although campaigns receive discounte

McCain Advisor Dropped Over Racist 50/Ludacris/Obama Column
John McCain’s campaign has confirmed the removal of their Virginia leadership representative Bobby May, over the prominent GOP veteran’s penning of a racially charged column parodying the policies of Barack Obama.   The piece, entitled “The (clarified) Platform of Barack Hussein Obama,” appeared this week in The Voice newspaper.   Throughout the column, May lampooned Obama’s ethnically diverse background and how it would affect his presidential policies.   On the drug crisis,...(

Obama and McCain Seem to Understand the Importance of Renewable Energy
The good news from the presidential campaign is that even though Senator McCain and Governor Palin have resorted to swift-boat tactics, the fundamental issue of economic well-being has begun to dominate the race for the White House. In the past, that would be bad news for environmental protection and sustainable development, as we’d be hearing we can either have either economic growth or environmental protection. Fortunately, Senator Obama is connecting economic well-being with energy efficiency and renew

I don’t usually chat about politics
But this video really got under my skin. I have not talked about my particular vote in this election or who I believe or don’t believe. I post little random tidbits because quite frankly I feel everyone should be allowed to vote for who they think would do the best job possible. But then I see a video like this and it really disturbs me. No wonder our Country can not move forward because a lot of people are still living in the past. I feel very strongly that if we don’t learn from the past

Vera Barker: Vera Barker & Barack Obama
What is Vera Barker’s link with Barack Obama? Vera Barker was listed in the FEC Senate campaign records as “Finance Director.” Some people in Chicago alleged Vera Barker was Obama’s Finance Director for his 2004 Senate campaign. However, the researchers found that Claire Serdiuk was listed as the Finance Director for Obama’s 2004 campaign. Vera Barker was not listed online together with Claire Serdiuk. How can both women be Finance Directors? When there was buzz about Vera Barker, Barker was th

Obama: Coming Up For Ayers
Voters are cynical. Obama doesn’t want them to be, implores them not to be at almost every campaign stop, yet in this episode he benefits from their cynicism. If [he] weathers the Ayers controversy, it will be in part because voters judge his association with Ayers, and his weak answers about that association, to be nothing more than a politician’s garden-variety duplicity…  Obama has not been candid. When asked about Ayers in a debate, he said he was “a guy who lives in my neighbo

Palin drubs Obama on abortion during Pa. rally
Palin says a vote for Obama is, in her words, "a vote for activist courts that will continue to smother the open and democratic debate that we deserve and that we need on this issue of life." Palin made her remarks Saturday during a rally before about 5,000 people in Johnstown, about 60 miles east of Pittsburgh. On Saturday night, the self-described "hockey mom" is scheduled to drop the ceremonial first puck when the Flyers open their NHL season in Philadelphia against the New York Rangers. Share with

McCain campaigns for Obama at McCain event?
At this late stage in the election, Republican nominee for President John McCain would undoubtedly prefer not to promote rival Barack Obama at one of his own campaign rallies. That’s what he had to do yesterday. More than once. State of the campaign There’s plenty of criticism that McCain brought this on himself because of his campaign’s tenor over the last two weeks. Then there are others who believe that questions about Obama’s past dealings with questionable characters are l

Does McCain Really Expect Voters to Buy the Obama-Terrorist Line?
On Thursday, John McCain at last did away with all above-the-fray pretense and added his voice to the right-wing chorus now openly trying to portray Barack Obama as a fundamentally anti-American figure. McCain, whose running-mate previously accused the Democratic presidential nominee of “palling around with terrorists,” sought to frame Obama’s rather tenuous connection with Bill Ayers in the most sinister terms possible. “Senator Obama says he was just another guy in the neighborhood,” McCain sa

Angelina Jolie: Barack Obama Win Would Be 'Nice' For Family
BERLIN (AP) - Angelina Jolie isn't giving away who she's backing in the U.S. presidential election, but she does have good things to say about Barack Obama. The actress and activist tells the German edition of Vanity Fair that the Democratic contender for president comes down on the same side of several issues that she does. Asked if she finds Obama and his background an example to her family, she replies, "Naturally that's good, but it's not a sufficient reason to vote for him. "Obama fights for inte

Campaiging for Obama, Celebrating Hillary
For a while, the political rally that took place in Scranton, Pennsylvania on October 12 seemed to be taking place in a parallel universe in which Hillary Clinton is running a general election campaign. Scranton, of course, is Clinton Country. Older white women constituted the majority of the crowd inside the Astroturf carpeted sports complex, and many of them wore Hillary buttons on their shirts. Several of the men wore Hillary buttons on the suspenders they used to hold up their jeans. Bill delivering a

Sarah Palin Now Making Nice With Terrorist Pal Barack Obama
After a week of witty meditations on Barack Obama’s America-hating friends and asking, “Who is this guy who has been running for president for two years who everybody knows pretty well after seeing him in nearly 30 debates? Did you know some crook sold him a strip of lawn once?” Sarah Palin has BLINKED and decided to stop calling the Democratic nominee a terrorist. Why? Because no one in the McCain campaign can use the same argument for more than a week. It’s all right there in the M

ANGELINA JOLIE SUPPORTS BARACK OBAMA
The Changeling singer tells Vanity Fair which it’s a nominee’s positions upon tellurian issues, as well as not his skin tone or credentials, which many appeals to her. “Obama fights for general probity, he wants to militarily meddle in cases of violent death, as well as tighten Guantanamo Bay.” Jolie pronounced in a new talk . “These have been a things which could pierce me to opinion for him, not his roots.” Jolie, who has adopted clearly each kid in need abroad, com
