All I can hope is that if there is an Obama landslide (I can dream can't I?), that it isn't known until the polls close in CA, so that the younger voters still come out and vote.

I just don't believe the under 30 crowd has the same fear of gay marriage that so many people my age and older do. But that's just based on people I know, not polls.

I was at a Dem rally last Sunday and some of the cars had "Yes on 8" stickers. It's sad. I do know a few people (not Dems) that are voting "no" on 8 just to annoy the religous Right, because they are sick of them.

Finally, I think that the racist and anti Arab claptrap the McCain camp keeps trotting out, though poisonous and appealing to the Republican "base," will continue to backfire....

I think it already has. I think that's part of the reason the Jewish vote and Hispanic vote is going more towards the Dems than it had in the past.

It's kind of amazing to see McCain actually undo progress Bush had made...to the cheers of the clueless from the Right.

They might as well start yelling Smaller tent! Smaller tent! at the Repub rallies.

You do realize this is called "War Room" and is commentary, don't you?

Or are you one of those that thinks that fair is always saying one side is equal to the other. A "some say the earth is flat, others differ, kind of of thing".

And if you are a Dem that thinks that Koppelman isn't gushing enough, come on, the reason the Repubs are in the predicament they're in is because of the echo chamber. We don't need to repeat that mistake.

Professor Rashid Khalidi was discussed in the War Room yesterday and is currently being discussed by Glenn Greenwald's latest post.

The National Review guys really are tools for pushing that story.

Like everything else they've tried to slam Obama with, the Repubs are forgetting that it can be quickly researched and the counter argument about Professor Rashid Khalidi is out there....like the fact McCain's group funded him and obviously even McCain (like Obama) sees value in his views, even if he doens't agree with all of them.

McCain's "base" might not hear it, but they're not listening anyway, at least the ones that think Obama is a Marxist, Muslim, born in Kenya with a forged HI birth certificate who is for the destruction of Israel.

I did expect better from the National Review, but just like the Wall Street Journal Op. Ed pages, we're seeing who the "thinkers" in the conservative movement really are....

What I find amusing is that people on the rise in the Democratic ranks are going out to speak on behalf of Obama. Somehow, it looks like Repubs are in a different position, doesn't it? DeLay might be the only Repub willing to spew the worst of the McCain smears, what's he got to lose, he's not like Bachmann who was too dumb to know that she could be held accountable.

p.s. I didn't want to see the infomercial last night and my husband insisted and I'm glad I did. I also cried when the 72 year old left for work for his wife.

If you put $200 a month in your 401K and accumulate $200 a month on your credit cards, I'd say you are not saving anything...let alone if you have a negative amoratized home loan, etc.

BTW, I know more than one person that has 5 figure credit card debt and still contributes monthly to their 401K.

Hillary called and doesn't want your support...she'd rather you reregister as a Lou Dobbs Independent and not hurt her or the Democratic party's name further.

I don't think Palin would even want your vocal support.

So far, from all that I've read, is Obama's very cautious, guarded in his dealings with reporters and so is his wife. They will probably follow many of the traditions of the Bush administration in their dealings the press.

But then there's Biden....

for McCain to be attacking the press in general.

The press in general had sucked up, they did feel part of the team. They did defend McCain when he would single out transgressors, or worse, mourn when he shuns them like Reston does.

But for McCain to follow the RW playbook of demonizing all of them has changed the dynamic somewhat. Joe Klein (and his removal from the plane) is a perfect example.

I have a friend that forwards me Morris's articles and I'm always amazed at the convolutions Morris has to go through to get to his predetermined outcome.

Wow, what a clever man. Obama might win, if Mccain doesn't get all the votes he wants.

It's hard to have your ideology compete with facts.

And it may even have been a bit of a push poll, since it asked me if I knew Prop. 8 was opposed by both the League of Women Voters and the Calif. Teacher's Assoc.

For her to get the Repub nod, she'd have to go through a grueling primary with a number of debates where the rules will not be dictated by McCain's staff.

I think Romney, Huckabee and any other number of Repubs would be able to clean her clock.

I agree with the Guiliani analogy, she would be popular in national polls, but they don't matter.

It's funny, over at Huff, they have an article that says the the anti-Sarah "leaks" are coming from the Romney guys that now work for McCain. I guess it's a preemptive strike for 2012.

I sent in my absentee ballot, too. I also walked a pretty red district with Teamsters yesterday in red tinted Orange County, CA yesterday.

It was funny, people were cautious with me until I said I was canvassing for Dems, then a number of them were relieved and really nice.

There is alot of fear out there on both sides.
