Clinton's speech was amazing.
I think it was ToxicAdam who said that Clinton is at his best when he's defending his own record or speaking about his own accomplishments (if he didn't say that, I'm attributing it to him), which I completely agree with. He managed to parlay some ego worship into a great endorsement for Obama tonight, and he packaged it in a great way.

Maybe I'm just a political novice, here, but I really see attacks like these as completely ineffectual. Let's assume that McCain had more of a chance than he does (or at least appears to based on any reliable poll). Don't attacks like these work better when they're more subtle and hinted at? Usually, it's better to just say something like "Now, I'm not saying that Obama is a socialist, but you have to admit that this does vaguely resemble what Russia was doing back in the day." There, you have more plausible deniability, and you're giving the viewers more of an opportunity to connect the dots and perhaps come to their own nagging suspicions that the observation may not be entirely unfair.Red Scarlet said:
Simply saying that he's a radical socialist just seems entirely desperate, though.

They are adding polling stations constantly, so it keeps going up.mckmas8808 said:
I missed a few days grabbing NC, so I don't have the steady day by day. But this is the daily vote trend in Georgia:
The more polling stations they add, the more demand there is for them. In Georgia, over 42% of 2004's vote is already in.

Hmm, is the fact that only you and a few are volunteering to do that an admission that Obama's going to kick ass?

I can't imagine how many Gaffers would still be around if they had such labels. The mod hammer cares not for rhetoric.AniHawk said:
Oh, not even a label is bringing him back. Perma'd, I think.ToxicAdam said:
Would've posted earlier, but I was carving a pumpkin. 
Regarding the infomercial, I thought it was really well done. My wife put it best... when it was over, she said, "Wow, he's *got it*," referring to his ability to convey emotion and connect. I thought it was commendable that he didn't stoop to the level of mudslinging, and his only reference to McCain was really just showing him briefly a couple times from the debates. I found myself actually getting pretty emotional watching it, which was surprising, since I went in with my doubts. I thought it might be overkill at this point, but he brought up points that I hadn't thought about, and there was definitely a more human element at play here.
After watching it, it seems unfathomable to me how conservatives continue to paint him as the destroyer of the country, a leftist who represents everything bad and who is unconstitutional, and a much worse choice than the McCain-Palin ticket. What he represents is a very tangible beacon of hope and new direction. Sounds cheesy, but based on how I reacted to this, I've never believed it more than I do now.
Oh, and Joe the Plumber? Enjoy your 14:59, you sell out.

Sadly I think it was perma-ban. I still talk to him via Xbox Live. You can imagine his general state of mind at the moment.
I'll help you out man. I mean I voted for Obamarama already but back in school when we played football there were times when I'd be all-time QB, so I can easily play for the other side. Plus, I'm already a liberal so being traitorous isn't anything really new to me.ToxicAdam said:

LOL... seriously. Didn't he already say that he plans to quit the plumbing business to try out the whole entertainment/music/celeb angle? He himself has basically taken all the air out of this point that they have been harping on for like two weeks now. If they keep on this, they're going to look like even bigger idiots.SpeedingUptoStop said:

haha... At least he has his love of Matt Ryan to soothe his soul.
Cool.
What do you think about Kwame only having to do 120 days? Did you hear his speech before he went into jail? Didn't sound too repentant.
