My brother is a helicopter pilot down in the gulf. He ferries workers out to the oil rigs and back. He called me yesterday and I asked him what he has seen. It's very bad. Some journalists from Germany hired him to fly them over the oil slick. Currently there is a no-fly zone directly over this area and he could not take these photo journalists to the actual oil spill, which makes the scenario he told me about even worse.

The argument against the public option is the cost of funding this program. Why couldn't the federal government offer a national lottery with ALL proceeds going to funding public option healthcare for all Americans? See more below:

The republican party in Georgia mailed out thousands of requests for absentee ballots to republican voters here in Georgia. There was just one little problem...more after the fold--

I read this posted comment on another liberal blog site weeks ago. As I have watched the McCain campaign and the ignorance being yelled from the audience at some of the McCain/Palin rallies I know that this is true.

Republicans on my email list have bombarded me with the latest rumor trash about Barack Obama, you know the content there is no need to repeat this junk. The smell of desperation reeks from these emails.

I live in Georgia and much has been diaried about our long voting lines. I cannot work (drive others) to the polls on November 4th because I am legally blind in one eye, and I want something to do--I want to keep my fellow Americans in line to vote.

That's when I decided that I can bake cookies and take bottled water to those waiting in long lines.

A truly amazing thing is happening in Atlanta, GA right now. Yesterday's local news featured the loooong lines to vote in some voting places in Atlanta with voters waiting 7-8 hours to vote. Voters in line at 7:00 p.m. are allowed to stay and vote--often not leaving until midnight.

Assurances were made that today would be different. In some locations it isn't. Today, the local news cameras and reporters turned out and interviewed those who had just voted. Two voters they interviewed caused me to choke up.

As I have been thinking about the last presidential debate set for tonight, I have been wondering who will show up to argue the republican side. My question, as we await the debate tonight, is who will John McCain portray in tonights debate? Will he be a Jerry Springer guest, talking about Ayers, Acorn, Rev. Wright? Is he ready to throw out the time worn red meat comments to appease his base? He has been challanged by both Obama and Biden to, "say it to his face". He told his base in a recent event that he will do just that. But will he really go there when opinion polls show him losing more undecideds each time he does this? And if he does, what strategy, of the many Obama could use, will Obama respond with? I see this as a lose or lose for McCain.

As a long time resident of Georgia, I have watched the presidential race closely here. I am tired of voting for the loser. I was a Dean supporter, a Gore supporter, you get the picture. This year I have eagerly read other Georgia diaries and keep wondering why the effect of Bob Barr's libertarian run for president is not discussed more. I can understand how other states may downplay Barr's effect on the campaign since it will have little to no effect. However, Bob Barr is a former Georgia representative and is a known candidate. He is a definite X factor here in Georgia. More below the fold:

This is NOT a diary about Gov. Palin. I refuse to grant her that much of my time and energy. It is a diary that explores the fall-out for the average working woman due to widespread republican acceptance of Palin running as a VP.

As a 54 year old woman who has worked since I was 14, I have seen the small changes in the workplace to accept women as a colleage and equal to men. It has been sloooow and hard fought. More below the fold:

Less than 48 hours away, and the spin is already in the air about the upcoming VP debate. A quick search on Google has Gwen Ifill, being targeted for her having the audacity of being black. Ms. Ifill has never made a statement about her presidential preference, but apparently this gaffe on her part, of being black, is the only way the spinmeisters can hope to address the Palin factor. Is this pre-debate spin their way to address the issue of Palin's two flubbed mock debates?

Republican spin gurus are already beginning to lay the ground work for her failure as a moderator. They have missed the other obvious component... that she is a woman. Going purely by her gender and race she is the perfect moderator--she is both. However, there is one calculation that republican spinmeisters are missing. More below:

My daughter, a full time college student, has a great part time job! She rides around in a golf cart selling beer to golfers at a private golf course in a southern rural community an hour away from the bustle of Atlanta. She overhears many conversations of the golfers and these conversations are very telling about what is happening to conservative voters.

In the last month the conversations have changed significantly. Read more below.
