It turns out that Barack Obama has ancestors/relatives in Co. Offaly! My dad is thrilled! And check out what they're singing in pubs these days.

I'll be posting about more serious issues later on today -- in the meantime, enjoy!

PS I can't get the movie to play in this blog, so here's the link.

Sarah the Nieman Marxist is DEFINITELY a Socialist

Check it out everybody -- It's official! Sarah Palin has been in the habit of "spreading the wealth" all over Alaska.

Here's the article:

AP Article on Sarah the Socialist

Enjoy!

And to think she accuses our future president (I hope) of socialism! Scandalous!

More later -- have to run. I'll put up the article about Roe vs. Wade and the right to life after we're done with Halloween stuff.

Happy Halloween, everybody!

Why the Obama Campaign Can't Go Negative

John McCain's pledge to avoid negative campaigning lasted just as long, it seems, as it took him to raise the money for his first ad. His followers have gone almost entirely negative, blasting Obama for being popular, for vacationing in Hawaii, for not being a real American citizen (ignoring the fact that Hawaii was made a state several years before Obama was born there) and so on.

Which has led to a desire within the Obama campaign to retaliate in kind. Emails and stories are circulating about Cindi McCain, about his military record, about whether or not he actually gave information to the Viet Cong after all, and about his not being a real American citizen (the Canal Zone issue). Many Obama followers, especially long-time Democrats who have seen their candidates smeared unmercifully, want the campaign to unload on McCain the way McCain has been unloading on Obama.

This is standard political strategy: instead of wasting time playing defense and trying to parry the outrageous attacks of your opponent, go on the offensive and hit him with equally outrageous attacks of your own. That kind of negative exchange leads to elections like the last two: a bitter, divided electorate goes to the polls and one side – usually the one who went negative first and better - wins a Pyrrhic, razor-thin victory.

But there is a reason why doing so would be disastrous for the Obama campaign: the rules have changed. The new factor in this election is the huge number of young, idealistic (or not-so-young, formerly disaffected) voters. They've been dubbed "Generation Obama," though they don't all fit the under-25 stereotype. They don't care about the way elections have been run in the past. They're not interested in capturing the White House for the Democrats, or righting past wrongs committed by the Republicans. What they want to is to change the world. Read More »

No ReVote in Florida!

Woohoo! According to CNN this morning, lawmakers are stating that there will be no revote and the proposal that ws given by Karen Thurman was rejected. As a Floridian and a Obama supporter this makes me happy. The only way to deal with these delegates is to split them up evenly or don't use them at all. Hopefully they split them, that will make our candidate even closer to where he needs to be.

Mail-in Ballots!

I heard Oregon has been doing it or I should say trying to do it now for 15 years. According to CNN last night, they stated that it took 13 years to get it done right and we here in Florida who obviously has not had enough good judgement when it comes to politcs want to try and atttempt a "perfect" run on it's first try. I don't think so. I believe they have 2 choices.

1st choice: forget about Florida and Michigan delegates (as per the rules they broke)

2nd choice: split them up evenly if they really want to be represented in Colorado.
