The world would be a much better place if everyone read more Kropotkin.

me too

I was reading a thread last night, somewhere or other, that was running commentary on the DNC thing and everyone was very enthused and inspired about the Democrats. today I watched short clips of it on the news and it came of as absolute idiocy - total pandering soundbyte morontopia. and Obama is considered a great candidate

politics everywhere are such a candy mess and democracy's to blame =P

hahaha having McCain pass on from old age leaving this nobody in charge of Failland should be quite funny

About that woman McCain chose for whatever:

"She's exactly who this country needs to help me fight the same old Washington politics of me first and country second," the presumptive Republican nominee said at a Dayton, Ohio, rally of about 15,000 supporters, who welcomed the surprise pick of the relatively unknown politician with cheers and flags.


  R---R----R----RAGE!!!!!!

f**k you so much, McCain.

I hate you for that.

Eh, I'm probably just projecting and she's an easy target.
Point is, my confidence in the Dems = not very high

I really don't see how Barack can lose the election, it's true. I just hope they don't find a way to blow it

At this point, if the Dems lose it's their own fault, not Hillary's (even though I don't like her much at all).

I was listening on the radio this morning to an interview with someone who worked on the Bush campaigns and some notable Democratic election expert and both agreed that polls indicate that most democrats will vote democrat, and that most republicans will vote republican (and that the number of each likely to vote against their party are pretty small and pretty close to equal).  And when you consider that Obama is more exciting than McCain, it's likely more democrats will vote than republicans, which means that if independents don't swing massively towards McCain, Obama should still win.

I hope that made sense.

What did she do?  And you talk as if the Dems had already lost...Obama is still the favorite to win the election by most polling data I've seen.
