Gosh, that Matt Drudge. Many of us spoke kindly of him during the primaries. Was he an Obamican?

No, he decidedly never was. He's still the same old tool in the douchebag hat he ever was.

With two wars, a recession, less than 24 hours before polls open and only a little more than 24 hours after they close, Matt Drudge's topic du jour:

Obama "flipping off McCain"
(Caution: if you're one of those who doesn't go to the Drudge Report because you don't want to give him hits, stay away from that link.)

Saw this at FiveThirtyEight and figured I'd pass it along because it's something that we need to look into and stop. Three weeks ago we were up in the polls and we said it'd get ugly. It has.

This is something that could turn the election around. I was confident of a Barack Obama victory in November, until I learned this awful, awful information: Dan Quayle gave advice to Sarah Palin.

We're doomed, people, we're doomed!

Stop canvassing. Stop making phone calls. And for chissakes, do NOT DONATE because if you donate 15 dollars or more, you get a sweet-ass Obama-Biden bumper magnet. And you wouldn't want that, because OBAMA IS GOING TO LOSE NOW THAT DAN QUAYLE HAS ADVISED SARAH PALIN.

Here's the link to the WaPo article

The lead of the story:

The Bush administration issued a pair of secret memos to the CIA in 2003 and 2004 that explicitly endorsed the agency's use of interrogation techniques such as waterboarding against al-Qaeda suspects -- documents prompted by worries among intelligence officials about a possible backlash if details of the program became public.

Sarah Palin had been using, for quite some time, covert racial signals to smear Barack Obama. Her supporters have followed suit, shouting like "Kill him!" and calling Obama a terrorist. She isn't being so implicit now. This is the most disgusting attack I've heard her make yet, and you can't point to anything BUT racism to explain these comments:

The Alaska governor told Ingraham’s listeners that if those questions were being answered, voters would find Obama “out of the mainstream,” adding that the Illinois senator would diminish “the prestige of the United States presidency.”

I'm a journalism student. While I only have a few semesters under my belt, I know some of the basics of journalism. Dean Reynolds, a reporter following the John McCain and Barack Obama presidential campaigns, apparently does not. Follow me below the fold. You might learn something.

Here's Dean Reynolds's ridiculous "reporter notebook". along with the money quote that I"ll get to:

Maybe none of this means much. Maybe a front-running campaign like Obama's that is focused solely on victory doesn't have the time to do the mundane things like print up schedules or attend to the needs of reporters.

But in politics, everything that goes around comes around.

Joe Klein, author of the brilliant electoral opus "Politics Lost", recently penned an article "Embarracuda". He completely demolishes the McCain campaign for the exact reasons we are. And it's exciting to see that people, mainstream folks, people outside of the DKos and HuffPo, can see the nastiness that McCain has lowered himself to.

Here are some segments and some of my thoughts, but the whole article is a must-read, so see it here

Newsweek published an article about Joe Biden today. where Biden explains his emotional moment, his role in the Vice-Presidency, and other issues. I'd like to share some snipets as well as my thoughts. Here's the full article.

Also see Calexanderj's diary about the article.

I read somewhere recently that Karl Rove said of Howard Dean something along the lines of, "We've never had an angry president."

Karl Rove should be eating his words right now.

I've just been mind-f*cked by Douglas Holtz-Eakin, Senator John McCain's chief adviser on economics.

He blames "Barack Obama's Democrats" for the blow-up on the House bill.

I'll start this diary with a question. WHERE was this John Kerry in 2004?

Kerry has been a better "attack dog" surrogate for Obama than anyone else, in my opinion. Biden is great and I love him and he was who I supported in the primaries, but his tendency to go off the handle is bad. Kerry stays on message, is fierce, makes great points, and doesn't back down.

Watch the video of Kerry on Fox News.

I got a call from the Obama campaign. They need money. The guy on the other line, a paid staffer, was upbeat. He said "We're going to win." I believe him. But the Obama campaign needs money. They need it now. They need it quickly.

So I gave again.
