DanF Commented on Tell Us Your Voting Stories, Part Two by Greg Sargent

Bloomington, IN - no lines through out the day in the city from everything I'm hearing. We had massive early voting here. Obama really got the IU student vote locked in early! Early voters here have the option of using paper absentee ballots - voters on election day can only use an electronic device, so there's a strong incentive to vote absentee.

I don't think he should be booted from the caucus for numerical reasons only. However I do want him stripped of his committee chairmanship. You don't get to speak at the GOP convention and get a plum Democratic committee seat.

Zogby isn't right-wing. I've seen several interviews with him and I think he personally leans left. His methodology just leans to "suck". Bad, albeit amusing, pollster.

Ward Churchill? William Ayers? HA AHAHAHAHA AHHHAHAAA!!!! Oh too funny. These guys have obviously been integral figures in the Democratic Party. That's all we ever talk about when we get together. "What's Chruchill gonna think about SB 129?" "Has the DNC cleared this with Ayers?"

Weak sauce Mr. Wallace.

I would add that in addition to trying to pick-up a few votes on the margin, this add does two things: 1) Suppress McCain voters who have no other reason to vote for McCain than a hatred/fear of Obama. Every McCain vote that stays home is one less vote to overcome. 2) Whitewater inoculation. The GOP will not let this go EVER. They will try to drag his administration down over little shit like this. The more Obama gets his side of the story out now, the better. The more he makes it obvious that he is up against a craven pack of liars, the more people are likely to believe him down the road. This isn't just about winning the election, it's about de-fanging the opposition.

DanF Commented on McCain: If I Bring Up Ayers At Debate, It Will Be Obama's Fault by Greg Sargent

I'm not saying McWorse didn't make his own bed; merely that Obama has expertly maneuvered him to lie in it. McCain can complain all he wants about how Obama made him go there. No one buys that framing. Sane people know McCain has a choice every moment he opens his mouth - but his base is not rational and McCain needs his base. It's like watching Bobby Fisher play Homer Simpson.

Yup. You just know Obama has a devastating, prepared response. Unfortunately for McWorse, he has no choice but to step into the trap. His base won't forgive him if he doesn't go there.
