Anyone in favor of a 6 year term for President?

Is it just me or does their campaign focus on something completely different every other day? Ayers, ACORN, socialism, taxes, national security, the LA Times, etc. I've never seem such awful message discipline for a presidential campaign.

My favorite new blog. About the blogger:

I figured this would happen.

Kudos to the Onion. Hilarious!

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 29, 2008 -> 01:54 PM) Funny offshoot story. When I was traveling almost 200k miles a year, I burned and watched alot of movies on my laptop. Usually i am in my own world zoned out because I hate flying, but I packed American Psycho for one of my flights, and as I am watching the chainsaw scene, a lady behind me taps on my shoulder and tells me to turn off the movie because its making her sick. 1. I never realized other people watch the movies I was watching 2. How can you not like that scene? Weird. Needless to say, I put a little more thought into the movies I packed on flights from then on. Heh. I've got a funnier story. A few years back I was doing a lot of traveling for work and on one instance (who am I kidding it was quite often) I brought an adult DVD with me on the trip. A couple of days into my trip I asked the I.T. administrator at the work site to provide some files to me as part of my work. She came back to the office I was working in and handed me a disk and said "go ahead and put this into your laptop and copy the files over". I paused thinking "did I pull that DVD out of the laptop last night????". The DVD had images on the cover that were, needless to say, inappropriate for work. I was flustered and I told her to just go ahead and email the files to me. She replied "Why? They're right here on this disk. Just copy them over." I kept saying that it would just be easier if she emailed them and made up some excuse that I had issues with my disk drive. She looked at me like I was crazy and after a few minutes finally left the room. I'm glad she went for it 'cuz as soon as she left I checked the drive and sure enough the DVD was in there. Phew!

I think Jindal is the future of the party.

They might want to switch naming rights and call it Lego Park after all the changes we've seen over the years.

I don't understand how a felon can remain on a ticket.

Spot on Jenksy.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Oct 29, 2008 -> 11:29 AM) Should we do an early voting thread? or leave it to the gen election thread? just a thought. You mean a thread like this?

I believe they are building the Juan Uribe buffet.

1 min 13 seconds. Must be because of my height.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 29, 2008 -> 09:48 AM) That is 20 states, plus part of NE. So its more or less 20.5 to 13.5 in terms of solidly held states. How many "big" states does McCain have? 1
