How do you win a streetfight with sociopaths? This is the question Democrats have to answer. Even with all of the accommodating and compromising, only 3 Republicans are even considering voting for the stimulus and they aren't guaranteed until the vote is actually cast. The vast majority of the Republican party has the character of Dick Cheney and Rush Limbaugh. The rest are just too ignorant or hateful and bigoted to see that they are supporting the very people who aim to do them the most damage. I just saw the 'new most important person on the planet and loving every minute of it' Susan Collins say if the plan goes over 800 billion, she would not vote for it. At least she admitted the majority of the rest of her colleagues would not vote for it basically no matter what.

And I ask what might seem to be a stupid question because there are plenty of reasons that a voter could give to a pollster to justify voting for or against either candidate without having to admit to some bias or prejudice. For example...

...there would be sirens flashing and BREAKING NEWS alerts on every network and cable new channel. They managed to accuse Rev. Wright of anti-semitism because of a few pro-Palestinian comments and writings in a church bulletin.

Please see below.

Turn about is fair play...McCain's whole 'Country First' theme is meant to imply that Obama does not put America first. Well...

we need to start readjusting the expectations for her debate against Joe Biden. By keeping her under wraps they can make it appear she's not ready to go head to head against him and then when she 'does better than expected', she wins. She clearly is not some airhead who lucked into the Governor's seat. Obama and Biden have been smart and correct in emphasizing that she is a 'skilled politician' with a real record of accomplishment. She comes across as smart, poised and confident and that might be enough for folks who have been hearing nothing but how she's not qualified.

Barack Obama chooses Kathleen Sebelius for Vice President

Excerpt from article:

We have a credible lead that Barack Obama will be announcing Kathleen Sebelius for Vice President / VP.

Our sources work within an ad agency that is hired by the Obama campaign, and have noted that the vast majority of the discussions there are regarding material logistics in terms of Kathleen on the vice president ticket. Now until this is verified please file it as rumor, however our sources on this are not bad.. and have yet to be proven wrong.

Our source noted "It will get a women on the ticket that shares the same views as Obama" a reference to many of the Hillary supporters..

Then of course we had to do some research.

Link to very interesting speculatory rumormongering

maybe this and the Olympics will suck up all the oxygen so that Obama will be able to vacation without losing a lot of ground. Also, maybe this will help him with women voters. He's already getting most of them, but maybe there are some holdout Hillary supporters (and even some Republican women) who will be reminded of McCain's adulterous history, esp. with Miss Buffalo Chip. Some may even remember their irritation at Bill Clinton for his pecadillos.

I know this isn't much of a diary, but this is what we're dealing with and it needs to be called out and put in peoples faces as much as possible. Read the entire thing and spread it around.

...HE probably thought that the left would be sophisticated enough to realize that he is an African American man with an Arab name trying to get a predominantly White European ancestried country to elect him to the highest office in the land, THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD (or what's left of it), and that no matter how good it looks right now, he WILL BE THE UNDERDOG until the moment he's sitting in the oval office...

on how much Obama caters to the left? I have been dismayed at how quickly so many of us are to pronounce our disgust with our nominee. It's as if he has no other obligation but to satisfy our netroots community and damn the consequences among the greater electorate that is not in any way as informed on the issues as most of us are.

This latest dust up over Gen. Clark is amazing to me. Does anyone realize that to the vast majority of the country, it will appear that the guy who never served is criticizing the service of the guy who did and nearly died doing so? The nuance of arguing that he's not criticizing his service, just whether that qualifies him to be CIC will never penetrate the megaphone of the MSM who ALWAYS have the Republican candidate's back.

In 2004, a few days before the election, Osama bin Laden released a videotape in which he basically endorsed John Kerry. Now, obviously, those of us paying attention realized that GWB was the best thing that ever happened to Al Queda, and that they knew by saying they wanted Kerry to win, a certain number of uninformed voters would be influenced to vote for the candidate NOT endorsed by the perpertrators of 9-11.

Who knows how many thousands of votes that well-timed 'surprise' cost Kerry? Perhaps enough to have made the difference in a couple of swing states? Throw in the BlackBox voting and it's entirely possible.
