Anyone been to this website today? I tried to load the page for the usual chuckle, but instead...well, go see for yourself.

An April Fool's joke, or the real deal? Has anyone heard of this "conservativepunk.com"?

If this has already been the subject of a diary, I will delete. Please let me know.

This is kind of old news cinsidering the speed of the Kosian world, but I checked the diaries and didn't see any thing...
Iowa Atty General Tom Miller has decided that provisional ballots cast outside of the voters precinct should be counted as long as they are within the right county, but they will only count for federal races, not local. Practically, this makes sense because the ballots in different precincts have different Iowa state house races, and if you live in one district you should not be able to vote for a state rep. who won't represent you. So, that's too bad, but it bodes well for Kerry's chances here, which I already think are pretty good. Naturally, the Republicans are super pissed.

We have all read a thousand times in the past month - or year - GOTV efforts will be the key for a Democratic win. As an employee for America Coming Together, I know how many people will be on the ground here (Iowa) this weekend, next weekend, and election day. I also know how many people will be on the ground in Ohio. I'm not going to divulge the exact numbers, but let me assure everyone that they are astounding.
I've been canvassing in Iowa for 4 months, I know the ACT system and how effective it has been. The number of HVT absentee ballot requests we collected has 5 digits. And while the deadline for requesting a ballot is approaching, we have more coming in everyday, and I'm sure the Dems have an equally impressive number.
The GOTV program will work, and it will increase turnout. That goes for every single battle ground state. Some of this has been said before, but for those of us who are a little anxious about Nov. 2, I am simply hoping to bolster your confidence.
