saf, I heard Clinton on WTOP this morning and she also said she would fight for DC voting rights. I hope if elected she’d do more than her husband did…

Nestor,

Have you checked out either of the democrats websites to read about their stands on immigration? I guess not…

I saw some of them through Mount Pleasant and they came with a big smile and tried to sweet talk me about Obama, nevertheless, as soon as I saw them I asked them: why do you hate me so much? why do you let the corporate media brainwash you into thinking that illegal immigrants (undocumented workers) are the main issue in this country? There is a war in Irak, completely unjustified and a failure in every sense of the word, healthcare in this country is a disaster, and I could go on and on, but no, you blame us for all the ills of this society, or at least – and I think this is worse – you let yourselves be manipulated by the media into making anti-immigration your main issue. That goes for all the candidates out there and their supporters, we are now your scapegoats,that’s cool, but not for much longer.

If McCain wins, we’re doomed.

GforGood: nah, I’m just an economist. It really concerns me when McCain says things like “I wish interest rates could be zero,” when he doesn’t actually know what that entails, or when he says that decreasing government spending is the best way to achieve short-term economic stimulus. Even if your average voter isn’t going to understand many of the mechanics at work in the economy, I think they’re smart enough not to put too much faith in someone who has publicly stated and demonstrated his ignorance.

reuben: I’ll be more than happy to take you up on that cup of coffee bet.

G, I don’t want to be right… I really don’t… I hope someone can throw some crow on my porch after Election Day. I’ll sautee it to my heart’s content….

Lee, bit a few sound bites, did you?

Reuben, I am afraid (?) you might well be right.

I think Mc Cain is going to win because he is about as much “change” as I think this country wants to invest in now. In other words, how can we ( or they, I should say) elect someone who is somewhat different than the current -ah-leader-but who is (how do they say it?) defense-oriented, and most importantly-not going to turn this nation into one with a Bolshevik-based health care system (yes, I am being sarcastic here). And- sorry
folks who have proclaimed race issues dead as Julius Caesar-he allows folks to be “different” while not having to deal with those sticky gender and or color issues..
I’ll bet anyone of you a coffee or whatever it is you drink this happens…

Complete sidenote: I’ve become obsessed with watching live videostreams of Democrat campaign appearances, including today’s Obama appearance at American.

Well, they usually pipe in music to the live feed while you wait for the candidate to make their appearance (before they switch to the mic). Today, Obama is playing the entire Graceland album by Paul Simon. So not only do I get to see Ted Kennedy and Obama on the same stage, but I get to hear You can call me Al. I’m counting today as one of the good ones.
