Now, Nelly, I may be wrong again, but I'd say this a real good argument as to why I'm not this time.

A very logical conclusion, Pea. Now, to get some of those Blue states to change color...

Not. IMO, at this point I think the only way for that to happen would be for Obama to jettison Biden and pick Hillary.

Too bad he didn't think about the issues. That's one tree-hugger who won't vote for Palin if he finds out what she really stands for.

So do you think the selection of Russel Brand as the MC for the MTV VMA was a Karl Rovian plot to motivate the AWM/W vote?
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

sirge, I was going to post last week that everyone seemed to be overlooking the "Angry White Male" voting bloc, which is a huge portion of the electorate.

The Kansas City Star had an interview with Gary Hubbell, and he did a great job explaining the "psyche" of people like him.
