Lounge of Tomorrow - Yes, we can.

Channel 73 on the Dish Network is now The Obama Channel.

Three readers from different parts of the country email that Channel 073-00 on the Dish Network is now labeled OBAMA... The channel plays his two-minute ad laying out his economic plan on a loop, over and over.

...a Dish Network executive emailed to reassure the user that it "is paid advertising by the Obama campaign and is not an endorsement of Senator Obama by DISH Network" and will broadcast through November 4.

Gary was watching the Obama channel last night and it is actually more than a two minute loop. I caught a mini biography of him and also him explaining the new bailout. Although then they go to the loop in between other short stories.

I commented that he must have paid a fortune for that privelege and also asked if there was a McCain one too. There is not.

God! I wish Jed Bartlett was running for President! He'd make short work of McCain and Palin. (And with his Nobel Prize in economics, he could easily solve the economic chrisis as well!)

Thought I'd post some positive news. That's a lot of blue.

We'll see what the debate does, though reports are currently saying that it will do nothing.

"We're going to get a little tougher," a senior Republican operative said, indicating that a fresh batch of television ads is coming. "We've got to question this guy's associations. Very soon. There's no question that we have to change the subject here," said the operative, who was not authorized to discuss strategy and spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Hopefully if Wright's name resurfaces, the name Kalnins pops up right behind it. Not that I give a crap what Kalnins has said, but if they're going to bring up irrelevant views of someone other than the candidate, then it's fair game to fight fire with fire.

I got some sh!t from a frat boy and friends in an Expedition in the Angels' parking lot last night for having an Obama sticker on my car.
"NObama!" He kept chanting as he drove next to me all the way out to Gene Autry Way. I just smiled and ignored his ass.
I hope Obama wins. It'll wipe that smile off of that f*cker's self-righteous face.

btw - I'm going to get an official Obama sticker for my car instead of the free MoveOn.org one I got in the mail...

You know Obama's going to stay above all that, and appear (and likely be) calm and collected. Maybe that didn't work for Kerry, but it seems to be working very well for Obama as a cool head in a time of crisis, and frantic mudslinging by the McCain camp will likely look like more flailing around.

Pfft, i also think it's going to be very hard to "change the subject" from American financial collapse in the next four weeks.
