Campaign strategies in a nutshell:
McCain: Obama is a BIG SCARY BLACK MAN! And I’m a WAR HERO!
Obama: I’m actually a cute, cuddly teddy bear with good judgment, and its safe for white people to vote for me. My opponent is a war hero, but he’s also JUST LIKE BUSH, and he’s a REPUBLICAN.
And that’s probably as much of a narrative as many uninformed, attention span limited Americans can handle. So, the election will come down to who is scarier: the Black Guy, or the Angry Old White Republican Dude.*
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
* Assuming always that enough of the black guy’s voters actually get to vote or have their votes counted.
here’s how you overcome the voter fraud game that the RATs are trying to run again.
the deadline for registering and being eligible to vote is friday OCT 3…register, or make sure you’re registered, and apply for an absentee ballot…recommended because of the paper trail, and as lD says: no i.d.-vote absentee…here at VOTE FOR CHANGE.
we’ve been out everyday here registering new voters, and last week signed up 14,000 just in my county alone.
the economic sitation has grabbed everyone’s attention, and response to our efforts have been overwhelming the county clerks office. additionally, these people haven’t been a part of any poll, and they’re finally interested in what’s going on. judging from my recent experience they’re damned pissed at the RATs, as well as government in general.
now that it’s coming down to the wire, the best way to negate any foul play that may be afoot is to get an overwhelming turnout.
Diebold™, etal, can’t cover more than a 2 or 3% deviation, so hit the phones, the street, your e/m lists, get’em registered and get’em to the polls…GOTV…that is how we’re going to win this one.
Which is why I found it odd that Obama brought up his “Kenyan” father the other night. . .
Not that I think he should run from his blackness . . .
I just found it odd.
Which was almost as odd as McCain’s use of the word “festoon”.
I loved it!
Another odd thing that’s on my mind today . . . because of McCain’s performance at the Des Moines Register . . . is that Iowa and Minnesota, two of the whitest states in the Union, are going for Obama.
I know the white vote is decidedly pro-McCain, but the upper Midwestern whites have to be the most pro Obama in the country.
Hello, Iowa has one of the highest – if not THE highest – literacy rates in the nation.
No wonder they’re turning blue.
