Obama -- American Badass

well not as forceful as Biden's speech, but same message about all the bull the mccain camp has been dishing out:

I don't care if it's a blowout, or if it's close, as long as Obama wins. If he wins, then I'll breath a sigh of relief and get past my rabid addiction to the minute to minute news updates. If he loses, I'll get past my addiction, but I'll be more upset than I've ever been by any election in my life.

looks like they're regrouping. though he did lay it a bit thick with the "i love america too much for that to happen"

yeah, okay.

but ol fudders can say bye to his 4 point lead forever if they keep it together. obama team seem to be going down refuting the basic fundamentals of mccains campaign rather than playing the tit for tat. if obama is serious about discussing the economy in debates it could fill that gap of "just what the fuck are you planning to do here" that's slowly bugging and bugging me, and could finally solidify that win.
ol fudders' campaign hasnt seemed to think thoroughly enough as to what to do about palin that isnt recycling her rnc speech. and they also seem to be running on old tactics left over from 2000 and 04.. umbrage and huff and distraction. as savvy as they've been obama just has to try a smidge to look like he's seeing right through them and is ahead of their game. i thought the his sppech stood a better chance than usual at successfully ridiculing the distractive element
if it was deliberate it'd be pretty smart to have lain low while fudders had his time in the sun. the media needed 5 years with their love affair with bush to finally get the picture and release the floodgate of awful, and now he's a joke. you let the opposing candidate get away with pumping their message for a few days and then it makes tearing it down for everyone to see that much more effective it seems.

Agree with this and the tit(yeah, nipples work with me too) for tat(could you define this one dubman?).

Quid Pro Quo Clarice.

*dubman's words.

oh and *cured*, you need to get someone make one with McCain, Palin, and might as well make one for me too and everyone else. Could you do one with a kitten too?

I think it's a smart strategy, given how only junkies and people of questionable judgment are going to be paying any attention to the meat of the campaigns before the debates start. Obama's team is doing a good job at not turning over their hand yet until the debates and I hope they aren't bluffing in this regard. They're going to have to go after him on national TV and, unfortunately, the discussion right now seems to be focused on how "respectful" Joe Biden is going to treat Sarah Palin in their debate.

And that's just the candidates.

there is uproar in the blogosphere over Obama's new ad where it says that John McCain doesnt even know how to use a computer (not entirely true of course)

the main uproar though is *cue POW card again* McCain's injuries prevent him from really being able to use a computer. this will probably make it back into the real news outlets (even those that pretend to be real news) with screams of low blow/gutterball/apologize/show deference etc.

on a few of the posts, couldn't help it, i just started to reply with stuff like : Well Stephen Hawking still reads and sends emails / even blind people are capable of going on the web.

am i out of line in this thought?
