Just saw this on MSNBC (appx. 2:33pm) is it just me, or did MSNBC try to slip one by?

Maybe that's the state flag of Illinois behind Obama, but I doubt it. It looks strikingly...Arabic to me. Oh, I guess I should stop whining, at least they didn't put an American Flag behind John McAmeriCain.

Is a mild sense of outrage an appropriate reaction?

The story goes, that in 1952 Democratic Presidential hopeful Adlai E. Stevenson was approached by a journalist (or supporter) who said, "Governor! All thinking people are voting for you!" to which the Illinois Statesman replied, "That's not enough -- I need a majority."

And as you know, shortly after national healthcare and world peace became realities, President Stevenson's visage was carved alongside Messrs. Washinton, Jefferson, Lincoln and Roosevelt at Mt. Rushmore.

Oops.

But that was 56 years ago...The Dodgers were still in Brooklyn, Ronald Reagan was still a democrat, soda cost a nickel and a nickel only cost 3¢.

Sincerely,

Forgive me father for I have sinned. It has been four years since my last political mea culpa. I turned onto John Kerry because of the scenes of a young, privelaged, educated, sincere man challenging the forces of power, vengence and stagnation crisply invoking Ghengis Khan to indict the war machine (NOT the soldiers themselves) that was us, our government...our America...our people. There was a critical honesty, a saving gentle but firm integrity that would gamble its own future viability in a quest to awaken the consciousness of a sleeping nation with the pithy and stinging phrase, "How do you ask a man to be the last to die for a mistake?" Such a man would surely possess the strength and nobility to guide our party and our nation back to greatness and respect. What a putz I was. John Kerry in 2004 was a wuss, plain and simple. Any courage he'd had in the past had been surgically removed on the senate floor, slowly and methodically over the past 20 years. Not in an expedient search for power, but in a cautious, reluctant, descending pseudo-maturity reminiscent of the Warren Beatty character in "Bullworth". Man that hurt, but I woke up, and I felt better.

BOO!

Did that scare you? Turn around now. Please. Spare your delicate constitution the following SATIRICAL analysis...

I have determined through fool (proof?) study exactly what type of personality every person on the planet has based on the politician they support. In the spirit of ~~pissing you all off by calling you names~~ the season of giving*, I offer the following analysis guaranteed to generalize (to the MAX!) but be absolutely on target in every conceivable detail. Plus, before you ask, NO, I am not interested in YOUR opinion, but how thoughtful of you. Cough.

^{*-I am not referring to THANKSGIVING, which is the season of thanks...that for some reason comes 11 months AFTER the season of giving...(well, it's the thought that counts...actually, it's the accountant that counts, it's the thinker that thinks...well, anyway...on with the show.)}

In an effort to understand the foremost political phenomenon of our age, I contacted the presidential campaigns and asked the only relevant question this election season:

What's the best reason to hate Hillary?

Following are the responses I recieved in order of my personal bias.

IP (and so do you) -- An influential force in presidential politics, D. N. Galbuery of Iowa's Chamber of Corn Kernel Syndicate has been following the campaigns around the state for the past year. At each opportunity he has put the candidates on the spot by asking the same pointed, direct question of each:

Senato-Governa-Congressman...Your Highness: Given that 66% of the American People© feel we're in a recession, 72% think we made a mistake invading Iraq, 79% think the country is on the wrong track and 84.326% think that all statistics are lies, simply made up on the spot: If you could be a tree -- any kind of tree -- what would you be?

Many Political Insiders© feel the following answers which the candidates gave could make or break their various campaigns:

[UPDATE And, please, people -- can we finally bury the ghost of Karl Rove which has been living rent-free inside our heads? Amen.] This has NEVER happened. There has never been a national election where one party lost 0 seats in the house, 0 senate seats and 0 governorships.

YOU JUST CAN'T WIN ANY BIGGER THAN THIS.

Right now the house is a lock with probably 33 seat gain.

The senate is trending our way with MT in the bag, VA closer than a latex diaper and MO -- back, but with only dem counties left to tally -- and the freepers have abandoned it...

7, maybe 8 new governorships.

WE WIN. Go to RedState, resist the urge to gloat, but feed your weary ego on their sadness -- it's like mother's milk. Freepers are jumping out of windows people...it's fantastic. Read More

I did it! My polls opened at 6:00am, and there I was at 5:59 signing in...I was the first one to use my precincts brand new, fresh from the factory -- same old lever machines that have been in use since 1952. It was like seeing an old friend. I was worried about the confusion putting new machines in would have, but I guess our county was passed over in the Diebold revolution... Read More

Now we know.

Anyone who's ever read (or seen) A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy knows that pan-dimensional aliens created a machine called, "Deep Thought" in order to come up with the Ultimate Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything. After 7,500,000 years, the hypercomputer posits the answer: 42.

"Forty-two!" yelled Loonquawl. "Is that all you've got to show for seven and a half million years' work?"
"I checked it very thoroughly," said the computer, "and that quite definitely is the answer. I think the problem, to be quite honest with you, is that you've never actually known what the question is."

Remember that? I'm pretty sure it was the campaign slogan here at Dkossers for Kerry in 2004. Every ~~week~~ ~~day~~ hour in the closing weeks of the campaign, there were about 20 diaries an hour posting about the latest polls. About half of them contained a variation of the following:

O.K., so with the exception of that last one, most of these posts (from 2004) turned out to be, in hindsight, well -- an obvious case of "living in denial"...and I don't mean owning a house boat on a river in Egypt. Read More

I volunteered for a nationwide phone bank for GOTV for a democratic organization. They're using the "microtargeting" model that the GOP so ferociously perfected to deliver their base vote the last election. Or, I should say -- they're trying. It will probably be another cycle or two until they have it down, and it may never quite measure up to the clinical, sinister original.

But my experience drew the distinction between the two parties adherents for me, and it isn't pretty. Read More

Charlie Cook dishes his latest analysis of the state of the midterm election. His take is Good news, with a grain of salt and a shot of reality.

The democrats are headed for a wave. We'll take the house and come within a hair of the senate. Start measuring the endzone and dancing on the drapes! This election (barring any dramatic changes btw. now and Nov. 7) is NOT like the "politics is local" elections of 1996, 98, 00, 02 and 04. This is a "Wave" election like 1994, 1974, 1966 and 1958 -- years when the party opposite the president made tremendous gains. (* - in all four elections, the party controlling congress going into the election was the DEMOCRATS, 1994 was the only year the presidency was held by democrats) Read More
