Hey Sarge, Alaska's top newspaper, The Anchorage Daily News, on Sunday endorsed Democrat Barack Obama for the White House, saying it would be too risky to put their Republican state governor Sarah Palin just "one 72-year-old heartbeat from the leadership of the free world."

Obama on a roll: Barack Obama drew a crowd of over 100,000 at a rally in Denver on Sunday, the AP reports: The Obama campaign released an initial crowd estimate of 75,000 people. That was later upgraded to "well over" 100,00 people, a tally confirmed by a Denver police spokesman.

Palin has no compassion. She should be taking care of her down syndrome baby and her unmarried preganant daughter, instead of strutting around in an expensive wardrobe with a highly paid make-up artist at her side. She is so tacky and shallow.

If Palin's $150,000 shopping spree had Republicans disgusted, then the report that her makeup stylist cost $22,800 for the first two weeks of October should have them livid. The stylist, Amy Strozzi, was apparently paid more than any other McCain staffer during that period.

I feel sorry for Sarah. Her boss announced that she will have to give away her new wardrobe when she returns to being an Alaskan hockey mom. Poor Sarah.

McCain ain't got much left. I guess he realizes picking Sarah 'winkywinky' Palin, has backfired. Now all he seems to have left are robocalls: 'The McCain campaign has launched a second robocall campaign painting Barack Obama as terrorist sympathizer and a potential threat to national security.'How low can it go?

She will probably go down as the most expensive, best dressed loser in Presidential history. 150,000 dollars shopping spree on a hockey mom. Wow! Things aren't all that bad on main street after all.

It's quite odd really. Powell is supporting a candidate who, unlike himself, did not support and promote the invasion of Iraq. Does it mean that Powell is now admitting the whole invasion thing was a huge mistake, and he does not want a President McCain to continue with the failed policies of the Bush regime?

'What does Watergate have to do with the very valid questions an American voter.'
I was just pointing out how low and dirty Republicans are prepared to go in using plumbers to help them cling onto power. The last time they used plumbers was during the Watergated brake-in. A REPUBLICAN president hd to resign in disgrace over it. And some Republicans were flung into jail over it. The republicans have a track record of dirty, illegal politics. Let's not forget that. From brake-ins to swiftboating, the Republicans have no equals.

The Republicans have had a long love affair with 'plumbers.' It goes back to the days of Watergate. The Watergate scandal revealed the existence of a White House dirty tricks squad under the Presidency of the Republican President Richard Nixon (tricky Dicky), which was behind an orchestrated campaign of political sabotage, and a "plumbers" unit to plug political leaks and a secret campaign slush fund. It brought into the open the involvement of Attorney General John N. Mitchell in the dirty tricks, funds and cover-up, as well as key White House advisers, all of whom went to prison for these crimes, for sentences of one to four years. The scandals began with the arrest of five men for breaking and entering into the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate Office complex in Washington, D.C. on June 17, 1972. Investigations conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and later by the Senate Watergate Committee, House Judiciary Committee and the press revealed that this burglary was one of many illegal activities authorized and carried out by Nixon's staff and loyalists. They also revealed the immense scope of crimes and abuses, which included campaign fraud, political espionage and sabotage, illegal break-ins, improper tax audits, illegal wiretapping on a massive scale, and a secret slush fund laundered in Mexico to pay those who conducted these operations.[1] This secret fund was also used as hush money to buy silence of the seven men who were indicted for the June 17 break-in.

Actually, Sarge, the present financial meltdown is a direct consequence of dregulation and the trickle down economic philsophy of Reagan and Thatcher, and which, unfortunately, people like Tony Blair and George Bush endorced and continued, blindly. Now, back to the simple question: Are you better off under Bush or President Clinton? Better off meaning, for the most part, financially.

Judging George Bush and trying to decide whether to elect another Republican is a no-brainer. One simple question is enough. Are you better off under George Bush or under the previous Democratic President William Clinton? From Iraq to the present econmic meltdown, the Republican President, Bush, has been a complete disaster. If you want more of the same, with a dash of eye candy, then McCain is your man.

I'm sure if there is a leak in the White House, Joe will be called in to fix it. Wait a moment, weren't the Nixon/Republican gang who broke into the Watergate complex, which ended in Richard Nixon resigning in disgrace, called the Plumbers? So, I think the Republican Party have quite an affinity, affection for plumbers. Some things never change.

McCain and Palin are plumbing the depths. Thier latest scummy tactic is to send automated phone calls attempting to link Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama with one-time radical William Ayers. The robo-calls, sent Thursday in several states, said Obama "worked closely with domestic terrorist" Ayers. Obama, a child when Ayers was active in the Weather Underground in the late 1960s and early 1970s, has denounced Ayers' radical views and activities.

First off, Samuel Joeseph Wurzelbacher is not a plumber. Wurzelbacher said yesterday that he isn't a licensed plumber but works with a plumber. "It is utterly bizarre that McCain chose this guy as the poster child, because this guy would get a tax cut under Obama, and wouldn't under McCain," says William Gale, co-director of the Tax Policy Center, which has analyzed both Obama's and McCain's tax plans.

The Irish online bookmaker, Paddypower, has already paid out over 1,000,000 Euro to those who bet on Obama being the next President of America. I think all one can bet on now is the margin of the victory. Visiting red states may increase that margin.
