The final days of the 2008 election

[Sean]

Just thought that a good, all purpose election thread might be in order now that we're getting down to it, and now that the randomness of the kitchen sink strategy is in full play.

The first story I wanted to mention was one I'm pretty excited about. I finally get to personally be on the receiving end of Republican insinuations of being "un-American" or "dangerous". Elizabeth Dole, in her big final push to keep her spot in the Senate, has accused her Democratic rival, Kay Hagan, of palling around with atheists! Yay! That's me! I and some of you here are to be feared for our God killing ways!

Now I'll go ahead and take my seat with the Muslims, Arabs, socialists, communists, blacks, gays, members of the Trinity United Church of Christ, black liberation theologists, ex-terrorists, current terrorists, Europeans, pro-choic - I mean baby killers, Northern Virginians, the entire populations of big cities, the liberal elite media, Georgetown cocktail party conservatives, intellectuals, and everyone else that the McCain/Palin ticket has deemed worthy of their America's fear, hate, and ire. I'm sure I missed some...

Hey remember the whole Joe the Plumber bit? Now, the McCain campaign is getting alliterative!

“Whether you are Susie the Student or Nancy the Nurse, Tina the Teacher, or Carl the Construction Worker -- if my opponent is elected, you will be worse off four years from now than you are today,” [McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds] said.

EDIT: I read this wrong. It wasn't McCain's spokesman who said it, but Obama himself said it to mock the whole Name + Occupation gimmick.

What about Bob the Builder, Wilt the Window Washer, Phil the Phlembologist, Sally the Stripper, Harry the Homeless Person, Steve the Spelunker, Tom the Taxidermist, Pete the Pedicurist, Mary the Manicurist, Rick the Referee, Billy the Bartender, Pedro the Pet Groomer, Gary the Garbage Collector, Daryl the Delivery Man, Tim the Toy Collector, and Gloria the Grave Digger? What about them?????

Senator McCain's top economic adviser Douglas Holtz-Eakin takes truth serum about McCrazy's healthcare plan,



This came out yesterday by Douglas Holtz-Eakin.

His quote reads:
'What they are getting from their employer is way better than what they could get with the credit.'

And another thing....McCain launches robo-calls here in his home state of Arizona. Arizona's only gone Democrat once in 50 years (1996 for Clinton by a few points).

http://tpmelectioncentral.talkingpoi...obocalls_i.php

The last few polls to come out of Arizona show McCain up from anywhere from 2 to 6 points. So in the past few days, McCain and the RNC have had to pump money into Montana, Virginia West, and Arizona. Sweet jeebus.

Absolutely. And then McCain on Larry King.

Saw it. Very well done. Maybe a little too sentimental at times, but overall, it'll probably make some people feel better about Obama.
