Seems to be a lot of enthusiasm out there, even in districts thought to be impossible wins.
I hope the enthusiasm can be sustained. I hope Jimmuh Carter, aka Presidential Superstar, keeps talking.
Hell, I hope Barry keeps talking, even with the teleprompter, but preferrably without. That whole lame-ass comedy routine, juvenile metaphors and all the ahhhh... ummmm... ehhhhh... I think really turns people off.
People have already got the hint that Barry is 1) a freaking radical ideologue, 2) incompetent and 3) almost certainly - stupid. If he keeps talking, he'll just reinforce #3 imo.

Drudge has the links to articles from the new Woodward book
As for Mr. Obama himself, the book describes a professorial president who assigned “homework” to advisers but bristled at what he saw as military commanders’ attempts to force him into a decision he was not yet comfortable with. Even after he agreed to send another 30,000 troops last winter, the Pentagon asked for another 4,500 “enablers” to support them.
The president lost his poise, according to the book. “I’m done doing this!” he erupted.
Not only does the douche think he can run the country like a classroom this is more proof that he is an immature, spoiled child

Like the scorpion, he can't help himself. It's in his nature.
Reason #6: Obama
That's why the red flood has yet to crest. He will not be able to stop himself from lecturing us on how good we've got it, we just don't know it yet. I'm reminded of some of Kim Jong Il's speeches on the healthfulness of pine tree needle tea and bark soup. Don't you peasants get it? Obamacare is GOOD FOR YOU!

There's nothing wrong with Marxism, and as you can see, with the right people in charge, everything is proceeding along swimmingly well. Mao would be pleased with our progress, and after the reeducation period and purge, America can reach it's true potential. Only the current leadership could have accomplished this miracle.

Walter Mondale, Mr. Carter's vice president, told The New Yorker this week that anxious and angry voters in the late 1970s "just turned against us—same as with Obama." As the polls turned against his administration, Mr. Mondale recalled that Mr. Carter "began to lose confidence in his ability to move the public." Democrats on Capitol Hill are now saying this is happening to Mr. Obama.
Mr. Mondale says it's time for the president "to get rid of those teleprompters and connect" with voters.
Barry is going to get rid of the teleprompters? Ahahahahahahaha....good one Walley

"But it gets worse. Since reverse engineering chunks of Stuxnet's massive code, senior US cyber security experts confirm what Mr. Langner, the German researcher, told the Monitor: Stuxnet is essentially a precision, military-grade cyber missile deployed early last year to seek out and destroy one real-world target of high importance – a target still unknown."

Obama imagines himself a fighter pilot in his approach to both domestic and foreign policy, but when the time came to punch out of the flaming jet, he remained in the Martin-Baker seat convinced he could dead-stick to a successful landing. Only a fucking fool rides it into the ground, and his altimeter is currently reading 200' AGL.

Republican gubernatorial front-runner Nikki Haley took criticism from the left and right Tuesday, as her Democratic opponent ran a new, critical ad while a top Republican fundraiser questioned the legality of her consulting work for an engineering firm.
John Rainey, chairman of the Board of Economic Advisors and a member of Gov. Mark SanfordÂ’s inner circle during his first gubernatorial run, wrote a letter to U.S. Attorney William Nettles asking him to investigate HaleyÂ’s consulting work with Wilbur Smith Associates and her hiring by the Lexington Medical Center Foundation.
And of course it gets front page news form the PR rag in Columbia.

Sept. 22 (Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama is contending with widespread opposition at home and mostly approval abroad among investors in a global poll reflecting divergent perspectives on the business climate from the U.S. to Europe and Asia.
More than three-quarters of U.S. investors view Obama as anti-business and are pessimistic about his policies, while a majority outside the U.S. holds a more favorable view, a Bloomberg survey shows.
So most in the US can seem the damage Barry is creating while those outside the US are happy about it

67 - of course Nikki Haley is being fought tooth & nail by democrats and her fellow republicans, she's not on the elite team so they're going after her. This is why we will need to be vigilant, if the republicans are able to get out of their own way long enough to take control of either chamber of the congress and however many local seats. We need to hold the republicans feet to the fire and make them abide by the conservative platitudes they are currently mouthing in order to get elected.
And Miss Lindsay needs to go. Please, somebody in that state step up and primary her.

Yes, he has upped his "conservative rhetoric". First he went down to Myrtle Beach to attempt to mend fences with the Tea Party there after he had maligned the Tea party in general. Next he called for war with Iran.
Both of those actions were teh stupid. He isn't fooling anyone. Country boys here may have colorful skin on the back of their necks, but they are not stupid. They do know the difference between piss on their backs and rain.
The problem is he has 4 more years to give time for all to forget and he can trade votes with the asshole in AZ to try and get his ACU ratings up.

They tore the sign down, took it out of the metal framework and left the sign on the lawn while stealing the framework.

I just learned that a neighbor of my parents got so sick of his signs being ruined during the last election cycle that he fought back with a sense of humor. He rigged a motion detector to play a recording "welcome to my property, if you care to leave your name and fingerprint there is a book on the porch and ink for your convenience, but if you don't it's ok as your picture and voice print are really all we need to know who you are" His property has remained remarkably untouched since. this year it is littered with palladino and digiograurdi signs.

The agency was approved by congress during W's admin, and can never be defunded because it's operating $$ comes from the Fed. We need to oust all the anti-American malcontents if we're going to get back to any semblance of normal and elect a conservative president.

After all, a lot of his prisoners are either members of Protected Minorities or illegals, all of whom have more rights than law-abiding American citizens according to Osama Obama and his thugs.

"Voter caging is a method of challenging the registration status of voters to potentially prevent them from voting in an election. It refers to the practice of sending direct mail to addressees on the voter rolls, compiling a list of addressees from which the mail is returned undelivered, and using that list to purge or challenge votersÂ’ registrations on the grounds that the voters do not legally reside at registered addresses. This typically results in the voters' having their votes discarded or submitted through the use of provisional ballots requiring further registration confirmation."

183 And just what the fuck does "misspent" mean?
It was in an AZ paper yesterday and it's already on Wiki:
Misspending of $50 million
An analysis by the Maricopa County Office of Management and Budget, completed in September, 2010, found Arpaio has misspent at least $50 million in taxpayer dollars over the previous 4 years.
The analysis showed that money from a restricted detention fund which could only legally be used to pay for jail items, such as food, detention officers' salaries and equipment, was used to pay employees to patrol Maricopa County. The analysis also showed that many Sheriff's Office employees, whose salaries were paid from the restricted detention fund, were working job assignments different than those recorded in their personnel records. Arpaio used the detention fund to pay for investigations of political rivals, and activities involving his human-smuggling unit.
The analysis also showed a number of inappropriate spending items, including a trip to Alaska where deputies stayed at a fishing resort, and trips to Disneyland.
Separate investigations by The Arizona Republic uncovered widespread abuse of public funds and county policies by Arpaio's office, including high-ranking employees routinely charging expensive meals and stays at luxury hotels on their county credit cards. The Repulic also found that a restricted jail enhancement fund was improperly used to pay for out-of-state training, a staff party at a local amusement park, and a $456,000 bus, which was purchased by Arpaio in violation of county procurement rules.

There are 3 types of irony. Verbal irony, dramatic irony, and cosmic irony. Cosmic irony suggests that some unknown force brings about dire and dreadful events. This is a common theme in literature, e.g. Greek dramas and Shakespearean tragedies.
I said that I found the accident ironic because it is obviously an example of cosmic irony.
Polynikes, I did not use it incorrectly, I just assumed that there was a better understanding of irony. However, if you still disagree, I can write the professors who approved my master's english thesis and oral boards and let them know that I don't know the definition of irony.

More about the "non-partisan organization" CREW:
But a look at FEC campaign contribution records suggests that CREW's top leadership does have predominantly Democratic roots. Board member Craig Kaplan, for example, is a New York attorney who contributed more than $96,000 to Democratic candidates between Jan. 1, 2007, and Aug. 1, 2010.
Another CREW board member, Al Dwoskin is a Fairfax-based investor who is a director of Democracy Alliance, a gathering of 80 prominent high-dollar Democrat funders begun in 2005 to create a new liberal infrastructure to compete with the think tanks, media and activist groups on the Right. Since 2007, Dwoskin has contributed more than $217,000 to Democratic candidates.
Another board member, Louis Mayberg of Silver Spring, contributed $3,900 to Democratic candidates.
Other CREW board members include liberal legal scholar and author Erwin Chemerinsky, Salon.com columnist Glenn Greenwald, venture capitalist John Luongo, and Sloan.
Sloan was appointed by President Clinton in 1998 as an assistant U.S. attorney in the District of Columbia.
Prior to that position, Sloan was a Democratic congressional staffer working for Sen. Charles Schumer, D-NY, Sen. Joe Biden, D-DE, and Rep. John Conyers, D-MI.
As executive director of CREW, Sloan received total compensation in
2008 of $194,625, according to the organization's 2008 IRS Form 990 tax
return. Deputy director Naomi Seligman received $124,947, while Chantell
Taylor, who directs CREW's Denver office, received $111,852. Chief
counsel Anne Weisman was paid $140,258.

In the last few admins I've just heard about the attys at the Justice Department being asked to give their resignations since it used to be understood -- until the Bush Admin and Alberto Gonzales -- that these folks serve at the pleasure of the president.
Since the country's broker than broke, I'd imagine the next prez could easily make the case that we can't afford all these idiotic agencies and depts that were never covered in the Constitution, annihilate them, and do some major housecleaning. When Palin became gov, she asked for for mass resignation since all the people left were part of the "good 'ole boy" network and made no secret of their dislike for her. If they wanted to work for her, they had to resubmit their resumes.

I was rear ended by a non-english speaking man with a guatemalan drivers license, no US ID and was told by the police that he could not arrest the man. I have to have a license to drive but an illegal immigrant doesn't. What a great state we have here.

Oh yeah he definitely could have. But the minute her status as illegal became known she became a liability for him and thus dead to him. People are nothing more than tools for him, just like his religion. If she were here legally you can damn well bet he'd have talked to her and appeared with her as a way to show how he is connected to his father's side of the family. But illegal, and under the bus she goes.

I think that ever since Nixon the left is under the idea that Woodward is on "their side" I figure he probably is on their side politically, but as a writer he's more of a "write what people are saying and limit spin" So they're all pissy that he didn't do anything to help make the president sound better in his book.

"In addition to Feingold, those Mrs. Obama will be campaigning for include Sens. Michael Bennet of Colorado, Patty Murray of Washington, Barbara Boxer of California and Senate hopeful Alexi Giannoulias of Illinois, who is trying to hold the Senate seat once held by Barack Obama.
The first lady also will attend Democratic National Committee fundraisers in Los Angeles and New York for the party‘s Women’s Leadership Forum, and appear at events for Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Illinois House contenders Debbie Halvorson, Bill Foster and Dan Seals.
So far, it all adds up to nine events over a 12-day span, Oct. 13-27, and aides said more political events are sure to be added, especially in the final week before the Nov. 2 elections."

If NY has the same problems on Election Day that they did on Primary Day with the new system and machines, I think the Democrats will pay the biggest price. It's was a gigantic clusterfuck here in NYC, and any Democrat in NY running for statewide office NEEDS about two thirds of the vote from the 5 boros. If Democrats have to stand in long lines and deal with big delays, that could suppress eventual turnout.

More important, how many generals in WWII would have said "I don't think you win this war" and how long would they have lasted after saying it?
We need generals who understand what war is, and how to win it. Petraeus is beginning to sound more and more like a loser.
Plus, of course, we need a C-in-C who wants to win. Our current mess is the equivalent of FDR secretly rooting for Hitler.

If someone runs against Obama in 2012, it will be someone to his political left.
Obama beat Hillary because he was perceived to be to her left.
Keep in mind it is the die hards that vote in primaires(see Castle v O'Donnell).
The moderates aren't going to turn up in big numbers to vote for a more moderate candidate.

Sorry to anyone who commented on this previously:
Very interesting post at HotAir with incredibly profound implications:
If dems remain in control, the govt will be competing against you for generations. They will have no choice.
They will not be able to sustain this without laying claim to everything you have.
Everything.

Look at all the goodwill Colin Powell has earned from the Left.
Powell's been a good stooge and useful idiot for the Left for, what, five years, now?
And here's Clinton taking a big dump on him. Ha ha ha ha ha, Colin, you suckah!

Fair points. But the Dem primary picture may be different in 2012. That includes the possibility that it may go even farther left. if so, then Bayh wouldn't even make a sound. or a dark horse enters late after much of the blood has been spilled.

It's free! Never mind the slight rate increase and the upcoming expired tax rates that are set to increase. Never mind! Never mind the fact that the evil rich are really going to have to pay and so they won't be hiring anytime soon.

Ace: No matter. Time to continue that winning streak from yesterday. What campaign ad can I ridicule and/or become a stalker for today?
Drew: Probably all of them.
Gabe: it's about time you guys showed. I posted headline comments and had nothing since. it's getting ugly. Gator showed up. In Daylight!
Ace: yeah, yeah, I got gold here. Just let me into the blog.
Gabe: Uh, sure...
Drew: Wait one. If you're out here, and Ace and I are here, who's in the blog?
Gabe: Well.....
Drew: Dude, did you use Laura's hump to keep the door open?
Gabe: She wasn't around yet this morning. Maybe if we jimmy the lock....
Drew: Ace, you have to get us keys to the blog; this is crap.

Paladino was one of the first voices to object to the GZM mosque, and the left, particularly mayor Bloomberg villified him for it. That totally backfired, because that gave Paladino's name recognition a big boost. Until then, even I didn't know who he was.

I wondered what happened to the people who signed their name that they voted and took the paper to fill out in pencil and insert into the machine to register their vote and then had to leave or be fired. did the board of elections folks tell them "not to worry, we'll put your vote through the machine for you later" cause you know pencils have erasers.
