the McCain camp purposely threw the story out there the day that Americans began dying from another hurricane in the gulf. What better cover? I just hope that the media brings this shit out into the open again once the storm issues are resolved, because we’re voting on who will be the most powerful person in the world, and if they knowingly try to cover his running-mate’s shortcomings by using a natural disaster as cover, who knows what else they might be hiding?
They had to address it somehow. There was an even nastier rumor rolling all over the Internet on various blogs.

Obama. After having a president who’s touted as the worst president in history, and having a party incumbent who thus far has not rejected any of Bush’s main policies, I could use a little hope and change.
I’m too lazy to vote, it won’t make one bit of difference(I live in NJ so the state will go Democrat no matter what). If I do become bothered to go throw my vote away, I’ll throw it to Barr. But right now 9/10 I won’t bother doing it.

The candidate has been criticized by opponents for appearing elitist or out of touch with average Americans. A Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll conducted in July shows Sen. Obama still lags behind Republican John McCain among white men and suburban women who say they can’t relate to his background or perceived values. “He’s too new … and he needs to put some meat on his bones,” says Diana Koenig, 42, a housewife in Corpus Christi, Texas, who says she voted for Sen.
