Oh, and it occurs to me that the last time Republicans had a big emphasis on plumbers it had to do with breaking and entering and grand theft. - juan cole
timesline of endorsements.
first nate silver, now this.sabermetrics invades the body politic. moneyball for the masses. just dont tell anyone that billy beane has been as successful at capturing the crown as his two co-conspirators.
goldwater family endorses disses mccain. and little scotty mcclellan which is not really a surprise. so hes got the goldwaters and the eisenhowers. the balls in your court, nancy reagan!
Finally, the endorsement we've been waiting for--Al-Qaeda supports McCain.
"Al-Qaeda will have to support McCain in the coming election," said a commentary posted Monday on the extremist Web site al-Hesbah, which is closely linked to the terrorist group. It said the Arizona Republican would continue the "failing march of his predecessor..."
Five times a day I'll still say to someone, "I don't know what I'm going to do if McCain wins." Of course, the reality is I'm probably not going to do anything. What can I do? I'm not going to kill myself. If I didn't kill myself when I became impotent for two months in 1979, I'm certainly not going to do it if McCain and Palin are elected, even if it's by nefarious means. If Obama loses, it would be easier to live with it if it's due to racism rather than if it's stolen. If it's racism, I can say, "Okay, we lost, but at least it's a democracy. Sure, it's a democracy inhabited by a majority of disgusting, reprehensible turds, but at least it's a democracy." If he loses because it's stolen, that will be much worse. Call me crazy, but I'd rather live in a democratic racist country than a non-democratic non-racist one. (It's not exactly a Hobson's choice, but it's close, and I think Hobson would compliment me on how close I've actually come to giving him no choice. He'd love that!)
While her script hasn't changed much it does seem to me that Palin has been coached to sound less perky and more presidential. And a new hairstyle.
