Like I said, no problem. Have fun.

Seriously - thanks for looking out for me.

Sigh. Politics has gotten boring at this point. We've talked about all we have to talk about. Either one of the candidates needs to do something shocking soon or I'd just as well we have at the vote now.

Perhaps "Mad" passion could imply, like, crazy passion, but I seriously didn't mean it that way. I was just using hyperbole to up the already enthusiastic quality of the word "passion."

I stand by the latter quoted statement, and I don't see how by any stretch of the English language it impunes Jen's enthusiasm for her candidate.

For the record, I Heart Cadaverous Pallor. I may not believe in her candidate as much as she, but I admire her passion greatly.

Have fun in Scotland, CP. What are they saying about our election over there???

I heart CP, too. I admire her positivity. I admire her starting a fund raising campaign for Obama. CP is a great friend.

I feel my posts are me being realistic and not negative. I want to see Obama win as well. I just don't think he's going to if his campaign continues on the track it is on. I, too, hope that after the convention bumps settle that Obama will be in the lead still.

Where is Obama's commercial showing McCain using the phrase "lipstick on a pig" in his 2000 campaign? That's the kind of rapid and pointed response needed to the likes of McCain's assertion that Obama's recent use of the phrase is sexism directed at Sarah Palin.

Take no f'ing prisoners, Obama. Don't be the next John Kerry.

I think it is feigned outrage as it is a widely used phrase from both sides. However, I do think there is a logical tie between the comment and Palin because of her widely criticized pit bull lip stick comment. Do I think Obama meant that? No. Is it logical to make the connection? Yes. Also, based on the reaction of the crowd where he was speaking, I think they took it as a direct linkage to Palin....I don't see that phrase getting the crowd riled up without them taking it that way.

McCain using the term in regards to a Hillary Clinton health care plan.
