Comment in News (11 diggs, 7 replies) - on 08/31/2008
Don't you guys realize that by supporting this crap you are in the end going to elevate McCain/Palin to victory? This stuff is nonsense! Likely a Rovian plot to make the left look stoopid. (see comment)

McCain's Palin Pick: Manifestly Unserious

Comment in News (-6 diggs, 4 replies) - on 08/31/2008
When Palin was chosen as VP McCain won the election. Just watch the polls, and also remember that Obama would have to be up by probably 8 points to assure a victory on election day (Bradley effect). The polls will settle out a few weeks after the Republi … (see comment)
