This is a short diary.

Anderson Cooper interviewed James Carville and Doug Brinkley regarding the damage caused by the Deep Horizon gusher.

Given the criticism of Obama in the Rolling Stone article I felt it necessary to post this link. It suggests some drastic and necessary moves by Obama in response to this disaster.

This interview describes a Gulf recovery Act.

Since when can a corporation trademark a culture?

The NFL is claiming ownership of the phrase "Who Dat." I am normally a laissez bon temps roule or laissez faire kind of guy, but I can not believe the audacity of the NFL.

From WWL

NEW ORLEANS - As the Saints' appearance in their first Super Bowl gets closer, the marketplace is being flooded with Saints merchandise and memorabilia as businesses are looking to cash in on the euphoria, but the NFL is cracking down on the use of their trademarks, including the iconic phrase "Who Dat."

This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard.

The time has come to purge Lieberman from the Democratic Caucus.

Call it our own purity test. The Democratic party including Obama is enabling this smug legislator in his own delusions of grandeur. We are partly responsible by raising him to candidacy to the second highest office in the land, and by giving him that opportunity we reduced the standards by which parties chose running mates.

I have never lived in a battleground state before. I moved to VA about 10 years ago, but it has not been a battle ground state during that time... Until Now!!!

As I understand it, McCain's current assessment is that without winning PA he has no hope to win.

PA is the linchpin, but even if he wins PA and sweeps all of the tossups on CNN's current map Obama will be president.

VA is leaning Obama, but has not gone Democratic in 40 years and the lines have been long throughout the in person absentee voting (early voting).

Today is the last day for early voting in Virginia. If the lines for early voting are a preview of tuesday, I encourage you to vote early.

I'd like to start by saying that I am not good at waiting in lines. I get frustrated with my 5 mile commute. In NOVA that is a rarity, but in my defense that 5 mile drive can take 20 minutes.

Since I posted this initial diary I have seen more McCain stickers, but I still see many more Obama stickers. Obama is still leading the NOVA bumper sticker poll by a margin of more than 4 to 1.

Original diary

I live in Northern VA, about 20 miles from the WH. My county is home to the Kennedy's DC house, the Saudi ambassador's official residence, Rummy had a house here, The NRO is here CIA, etc.

It is a political place. I still see W bumper stickers, and I still see Kerry/Edwards bumper stickers.

If you vote in the poll, please give a location in the comments.

I attended my first political rally yesterday in Leesburg, VA. I was amazed:

These photos were taken from my friend's front yard. He lives on about a mile or so down King street from the rally.

Here is a photo of the line going to the park:

I, having not always been the most upstanding of youths, have made up many stories to protect my hide. CYA is something learned at a very young age.

But I was taken aback when I read the lame excuse that was provided for the bear cub story.

The current bell curve of my poll places the Kossac opinion at between 58% and 99.5% with the median opinion placed at about 75%. I voted 60%.

This is in response to It's all about VIRGINIA........w/poll.

It may not be all about VA, but it damn well could be. From Forbes

Obama’s gain of 0.1 percentage point, coupled with a 0.2 percentage point slide for John McCain pushed Virginia just outside the 5-percentage-point threshold used to determine qualification as a "swing" state. Driving the increase of the latest poll average in Virginia is a poll conducted by Public Policy Polling on October 7, the date of the last debate, that gave Obama an 8-percentage point lead over McCain in the commonwealth, 51% to 43%.

51 to 43!!! I think I saw a SUSA poll that put it at 53-40. I'll have to look for that link. If you find the link before I do and post it I will update.

I live in VA and there is a wave of change going on here.

All,

I am asking for help from this community. Cheech93 posted this diary a week ago in a fund raising effort for Obama. It did not get a lot of traction and I think it should get more.

What does the community think of this idea? We painted 60 of these posters this summer. They are part of a collection , three of which, are going to become a permanant part of the Missouri Historical Societies collection after the election. The images are based on Shepard Fairey's posters , that were sometimes sold through the campaign. Many posters were also distributed at rally's and such in California.

I'll start with some background about me (It will make sense if you follow me below):
