i so want to be optimistic about Ohio and Indiana, I truly do. But this concerns me a LOT:

2008-10-09T16:17:00.000-04:00

Today a co-worker, who is from MN, (I live in WI), asked me if which way Minnesota was going in the polls. I showed her the Projection map from this site as of yesterday. I then asked told her that her home state had only went Red once in the last 40 years. She was immediately dismayed and said" well you should be happy, you like Obama." Everyone knows I do as I wear Obama shirts to work. She then said, "Well, I think Obama is a terrorist-in-disguise." I was shocked. I didn't want to say anything to get myself fired, all I could come up with was "That is a horrible thing to say."

But you know, the worst part about it is that she is hot, and now, I cannot even be attracted to her anymore. Very sad.

John Peterson said "I've decided that liberals are morally incapable of separating wrong from right. Marion County's eligible voter population is registered at 105%, and that's OK because you know, they're just combating those evil Republican tactics. And of course, what they call 'voter fraud' is when election boards rightly purge the voter rolls of obvious frauds."

John,

I've decided that, as a conservative, you cannot help but cherry-pick one fact to prove your point, when in fact what you cite (more registered voters than voting age population) is true in twenty-one other Indiana counties.

I took the 2007 Indiana estimate of population by county, available here, and multiplied the population by 0.75 to arrive at voting age population (except for Marion County, where I used 0.73, the official percentage from the US Census Bureau 2006 population estimate for Marion County).

I then took the Indiana voter registration figures as of April 30, 2008, available here, and I compared the figures. Here is the list of Indiana counties with more registered voters than voting age population:

Brown
Crawford
Delaware
Floyd
Franklin
Grant
Harrison
Howard
Jennings
Marion
Newton
Ohio
Orange
Perry
Pike
Ripley
Starke
Tipton
Union
Vanderburg
Warren
Warrick

Your argument that the rolls showing more registered voters in Marion county is evidence of Democratic voter fraud is false, unless you are going to assert that it also is evidence of fraud in twenty-one other counties (most of which are strongly Republican).

Voter rolls should be struck, but it is illegal under federal law to strike voter rolls now, as it is within 90 days of a general election for Federal office, 42 USC § 1973gg-6(c)(2)(A).

Go peddle your cherry-picked results somewhere else.

I started reading this post thinking you'd finally give us some details on what the Republicans are up to. We KNOW the Obama ground game is first-rate. But what is McCain up to? Can we get some firsthand reporting, please? There's an information vacuum on the McCain grassroots!

2008-10-09T15:10:00.000-04:00

Dmitry has all the style and bling of a Bob Hope and Emeril Lagasse bastard child. I guess the next meme from the leper colony will be that Obama's a socialist. Interesting that the articles that Dmitry has linked to suggest that "New Party members and supported candidates won 16 of 23 races, including an at-large race for the Little Rock, Ark. City Council...."

Evidently, (a) the party isn't all that far out of the mainstream (since there are already a good number of 'members and supported candidates' in political office); (b) the endorsement of a political party doesn't imply or suggest that the candidate in question is a supporter of the views by the endorsing party.

Put differently, one cannot doubt that McCain has many reactionary parties supporting and endorsing him, including Focus on the Family and the Alaska Independence Party. That's just a part of politics. Baptists and bootleggers sometimes make good bedfellows. The issue boils down to the kind of commitment that one has to those parties.

Palin, by contrast, has endorsed and encouraged the AIP in their good work. She made a video encouraging them to keep pushing for succession.

That's fucking crazy. And she's almost as big a kozyol as Dim-itry.

John- PUOSU. Thank you.

@Aturi,

What part of the Keystone state are you canvassing in? I'm originally from the Pittsburgh suburbs and my family tells me that Allegheny County has new offices popping up everywhere. Do you know how the other counties around Pittsburgh are looking, specifically Beaver, Butler, Fayette, and Washington?

Thanks.

Actually, it's ok because people move in and out of cities and states, go off for college, etc and their names generally aren't removed from the rolls.

QFT. I moved away from a medium-sized CA county and was listed on their voter rolls and jury records for three years after I had left. In that time, I had legally registered twice in other jurisdictions, paid no taxes to CA, registered two cars in two jurisdictions and bought a house. Nevertheless, the county kept sending Jury summonses to me at my parents house. At one ponit when my mother tried to call to tell them I didn't live there any more, they didn't believe her and threatened to send the sheriff to arrest me for contempt of court! When they finally got around to removing me from the rolls, they screwed up yet again and removed my father instead (same first and last name, but I have a middle name).

Way to go Joe Biden!!!

“John McCain could not bring himself to look Barack Obama in the eye and say the same things to him,” he added. “Well in my neighborhood, when you've got something to say to a guy, you look him in the eye and you say it to him!”

2008-10-09T14:57:00.000-04:00

real joe--there is, minimally, a big defection of conservative Dems; but ARG only had a D+20 as opposed to a D+27 according to the state office.

Whether this defection is actual "hate" is hard to say; a third of the Dems in the state voted against Kerry, so it might not just be Robert-Byrd-before-he-was-reformed (if he was--he said "white n-word" on tv recently) types.

Actually, it's ok because people move in and out of cities and states, go off for college, etc and their names generally aren't removed from the rolls.

What's not ok is purging a voter because he registers as William and his DMV info says Bill. Which is what's going on in several states: cross-referencing all government databases and deleting anyone with even a single letter different in any field.

I've decided that liberals are morally incapable of separating wrong from right. Marion County's eligible voter population is registered at 105%, and that's OK because you know, they're just combating those evil Republican tactics. And of course, what they call "voter fraud" is when election boards rightly purge the voter rolls of obvious frauds.

2008-10-09T14:51:00.001-04:00

Dimity: "Hope none of you Dimocrats have any assets, cause they'll get confiscated." --Grammatically incorrect sentence.

Dimity: "The guy's not only a socailist follower of Karl Marx, but grew up being trained in the jihadi arts while in an Indonesian madrassa. Any moron knows that."

Yes, morons do know that; however, smarter people who look into things before they believe them know these "facts" to be untrue. I guess the only moron here that believes that is you.

Jack-be-repetitive, why not just say that women shouldn't vote either, or non-whites; hell, why not come out and say only slave owners should be allowed to vote.

It is nice to be watching the implosion of the Republican Party and conservatism, and it is sure to get worse. The only problem is the violence and ignorant vitriol that goes along with its disintegration, and the fact that debating with right wingers like the morons above has become so much more boring. Where have all the smart conservatives gone? Jumped ship, I guess.

Say good bye to the sinking ship of conservatism.
