Make no mistake about it, the White House WILL create some sort of foreign policy issue in October to try and give McCain a boost, and McCain will play the Rev. Wright card eventually.

Whoa the animal has a voice.

Having said that, I can see this preposterously early voting benefiting Obama. For one thing, he gets to start locking in votes while the financial crisis is topic A and has voters fleeing the GOP. Second, he gets to lock in votes before a possible October surprise–whether it’s a national security crisis ginned up by the White House or some below-the-belt ad from McCain (probably Wright or Ayers related). Third, mechanical changes like this tend to favor the better-organized campaign, since they’re in a better position to exploit any new opportunities. That’s almost certainly the Obama campaign in this case. I’d guess Obama will do a better job identifying potential early voters and getting them to the polls,* which, given the extremely long early-voting window, could result in a significant advantage.

The moron has spoken. Expect the opposite to happen

Has anyone besides me been receiving the e-mails the past few days about Biden stepping down as the VP nominee claiming to have health problems?

Ask your friend, does he know anybody, anywhere, that has succeeded in banning books in the last few decades? Or is the book banning thing the big red herring it has always been?

Early Voting

Early voting has already started in some states…

Early voting has already started in Virginia (started last week) and starts in several other states this week. This is a major advantage for Obama.

Remember the early voting advantage Hillary had during the primaries? She was the favorite for so long that many people voted early for her. Then, when they changed their minds and switched to Obama, it was too late to change their vote. We could see a bit of that here as well. The more people that vote early, the smaller the opportunity for McCain to make up ground gets. Make no mistake about it, the White House WILL create some sort of foreign policy issue in October to try and give McCain a boost, and McCain will play the Rev. Wright card eventually.

OUT: A balckboard, the blank slate of a young black mind, gets written on with white chalk, the lies of the white oppressors.

IN: A whiteboard, the blank slate of a young white mind, gets written on with multi-colored markers, the truth of the multi-cultural world.

Or maybe it is just Occams razor: they just easier to use and clean up easier.
