No, if he loses, it will be because his 'brand' (e.g., maverick within his own party, POW, very old man) has nothing to do with the economy, and barring ugly infusions of racism and more culture wars, the economy will be what decides the election. His speech, apart from revealing to all...

Sorry, was hard to keep my focus there, blinded as I was by the racial diversity in the hall lol ...

After defending McCain-Palin, you might turn to the 'earth is flat' debate ... :D

I for one am not "furious with her" for "existing," considering that her brand of Republican politics is as common as dirt to anyone who has lived in the US for, oh, say, the past two decades. Same old story, hardly surprising.

this statement is almost as funny as the stewart video. ROFL @ "proved" and "a more varied and experienced life and career than" ...ho ho hee hee, still chuckling at that one

old dissensus thread: http://www.dissensus.com/showthread.php?t=2035

If you were to say this in the context of a serious discussion concerning race relations in the US, your statement would be not only ignorant but appalling, and you would be laughed out of the room, frankly. Where even to begin in response to this nonsense? If all of the emo folks here want...

So true! Heard Bayh himself say today in an interview that he'd take the VP job if offered, and he basically admitted that he was on the short list, without saying as much explicitly. I'm telling you, he's going to be the pick. :D Obama up in all of the national polls mid-week, not that...

My money for Obama's VP is still on Evan Bayh. The fact that he was a Clinton supporter means nothing in terms of accepting a VP slot - I can guarantee you that he admires Obama enormously and would be thrilled to be on the ticket. He almost ran for pres but turned it down, supposedly for...

I've already forgotten the link, but there was an impressive story at the end of last week about Obama restricting press access. The tenor was "on the one hand he is a change candidate, so the press should have full access" etc etc, while the other half said, "he's the nominee, he's earned the...

It's a good question, and something of an imponderable, to be sure. But for the non-US readers out there, it might be interesting to know that 'the Bradley effect' has penetrated the mass media and is discussed constantly. It comes up even on CNN quite frequently, and usually without any...

I was optimistic at first, but it's pretty clear that things are going to get very ugly. Let's just hope that the percentage of people participating and receptive remains low. But yeah, the Washington Post on the rise of hate groups focusing on Obama, it's basically the evil horseshit you'd...

lol what an unbearable band ... 'alcohol will be forbidden to be served at the bar during our show b/c the clinking interferes with our delicate sounds and bowed guitars' ... my god what a laff

The appointment today of Patty Solis Doyle to be chief of staff for the VP pick is a pretty good sign that the VP choice won't be Clinton, lol. My guess? No idea, really, but if I had to guess today I'd say Evan Bayh, a very bright fellow from Indiana who was a Clinton supporter and who as...

Mr. Eden to thread, plz ;)
