I am all for Obama.  I will do all I can to help elect him.
Door-to-Door
Make Calls
Give Money
Give my Time
Promote him to people I know.

But Self Mutilation?
I don't think I would go that far.  
- Maybe a tattoo but not black eyes and facial scars-

But Self Mutilation?  geez.
The right seems to be full of such people.  They openly discuss making donations to Obama under nefarious names, they happily lie and repeat those lies and the openly attempt to suppress votes.  
What is wrong with those people?  Perhaps I am not a "real American" but I just don't get it.

"PITTSBURGH (KDKA) ― Police sources tell KDKA that a campaign worker has now confessed to making up a story that a mugger attacked her and cut the letter "B" in her face after seeing her McCain bumper sticker.

Ashley Todd, 20, of Texas, initially told police that she was robbed at an ATM in Bloomfield and that the suspect became enraged and started beating her after seeing her GOP sticker on her car.

Police investigating the alleged attack, however, began to notice some inconsistencies in her story and administered a polygraph test.

Authorities, however, declined to release the results of that test.

Investigators did say that they received photos from the ATM machine and "the photographs were verified as not being the victim making the transaction.""

So much for that story.  I guess I shouldn't have gotten all worked up.

Any bets as to whether or not Drudge splashes this in huge red font.  The prick.

Drudge of course is a hard nosed GOP'er so anything he presents on his website is suspect as in twisted words to convey what he wants to convey

The 2pt spread is referred to by Drudge as a 'shocker'

I'm a strong white msle Obama supporter but I have always thought that there are enough racists around who would likely lie to pollsters that Barack likely needs at least +4 minimum to win the overall popular vote--when some white men get into the booth, some will go mccain instead just for racist reasons--and no one ever wants to openly admit that he is racist-psst it's a secret.

Given that, I must say admit that the Gallup number is quite troubling----EV's alos have a way of shifting and we have never had a black running for president before

Quick diary to alert everyone that McCain might well take another impetuous maverick move before the debate on Wednesday.

The balloon has been hoisted up by Bill Kristol in today's New York Times:

It's time for John McCain to fire his campaign.

He has nothing to lose. His campaign is totally overmatched by Obama's. The Obama team is well organized, flush with resources, and the candidate and the campaign are in sync. The McCain campaign, once merely problematic, is now close to being out-and-out dysfunctional. Its combination of strategic incoherence and operational incompetence has become toxic. If the race continues over the next three weeks to be a conventional one, McCain is doomed.

Over at Fivethirtyeight Nate Silver has been reading the runes...
