and he has a couple of great articles, first here, then here.

Not mine — I won’t make one, although tomorrow, during my break from working the polls (I work 6-10, then 4-6), I will be here and will tell you about the voter turnout, and any fun stuff — uh, what was I saying?
Oh yes. Bob Krumm’s prediction.
I do think, however, that the media and the […]

Sarah’s a natural. This is the whole speech from a rally in Las Vegas, so it’s long (25 minutes), but this is very, very good. And this speech is largely about women in America.

Both McCain headquarters in town are literally packed with volunteers.

Errands. Then to the rink for the Penn State - Ohio game. While I’m at the game, the microwave will get installed, and I can actually defrost something for dinner from the deep freeze!
And here’s a couple of things to lift your spirits.
Obama fading in Pennsylvania. And that Zogby poll: McCain 1 point ahead.

Palin at PSU.

It’s on the Hillary Forum, but it seems to be down. It’s also been posted at Red State: Hillary staffer comes clean. The author isn’t identified, and I’m inclined to doubt these sorts of things, but this makes me suspect this may be genuine.
Obama’s radical connections. Standards operating procedure has been to cry “racism” whenever […]

and shake his (or her) hand: Huge Democrat Turn Out In Florida Turns Into Huge McCain-Palin Gains - UPDATED!
Democrats have an almost 2 to 1 advantage in numbers, yet McCain leads in the vote totals. RCP has Obama up 3.5% in Florida - totally opposite this massive wave of early voting.  According to a GMU […]

The Review Journal:
With the election still a week away, nearly a quarter of the Nevada electorate has already cast ballots, according to the secretary of state.
Through the end of voting Sunday, about 300,000 people had voted early statewide, a turnout of 24.9 percent of the state’s 1.2 million active voters. In Clark County, 211,000 had […]

The local rag a couple of weeks ago announced that The First Dude would be at the Homecoming tailgate, but didn’t bother to write a story afterward. They did cover last night’s Palin rally. And Mitch, who was just going to go, got lassoed into working the rally.

And I may not go to the rally tonight. I know, I know, but remember: I’ve been to three so far. Look, it’s cold as hell. Well, it’s technically 41, but it’s very windy. I looked at the temp, threw on a T-shirt and a windbreaker, and went to headquarters. I was way underdressed. And […]

I’m not big on identity politics, but this woman has a point.
I cannot predict who will win the presidential campaign, but I already know who will lose big: all women.
I realized this when I saw a 20-something male student who attends a class in the community college where I teach, wearing a T-shirt that […]

Why bother, when Jim Treacher says it all?

I expected them to come out with this earlier. However, now that I think about it, closer to the election is probably better.

Just a few days ago, the McCain campaign started soliciting videos from voters. Here they are, edited into an ad: I Am Joe.

Joe the Plumber:

Sweat Equity:

Still 1-1.
Paco has a great roundup of links. And the arthritis is acting up — think it could be the cold?

now meet Tito the Builder.
False alarm, by the way. But the commercials will be over any minute now, and the game’s 1-1 in the second.

Scroll down for updates. Iowahawk’s post.

Dr. Joy encapsulates the campaign:
This week we had Joe the Plumber in front of his modest home with an old rusty basketball hoop for his kids, burdened with tax debts but uplifted by his aspirations, and we had Sarah Palin stopping the campaign bus to get diapers at WalMart for her baby.
By way of contrast, […]

From PA Water Cooler (I assume it’s somewhere here in the state).

Once again, I got the email message just now, but it’s not up on the site yet, so no URL.

Nobody shouted “Kill him!” at the Palin rally. Secret Service confirms.
The best part? Only one person at the rally heard it — the reporter.
Sure.

Sarah Palin is calling Rush today at 1:30.

Bocephus jumps on the campaign trail.

This is the closest to complete video I’ve been able to find. This was the rally we attended Saturday.
We believe in the forward movement of freedom, and not the constant expansion of government.
We believe that the best of America is not all gathered in Washington DC. It’s found in the kindness and the courage of […]

Looks like we could have just stayed here yesterday. Right after the rally, she drove from here from Johnstown, and made a surprise stop at Way Farms just down the road before she flew from here to Philly to drop the puck at the Rangers-Flyers game.

The Washington rally was all day. After the entertainment, there was some local politician, then Diana Irey, then Lynn Swann, then Tom Ridge, and only then, McCain and Palin. It was also the first rally after McCain announced Palin in Dayton, only two days later (that will be relevant in a moment).
Before I go on, […]

Sarah Palin is a Joooooooooooo! That’s no doubt supposed to get the liberals and the Ron Paul Bots scared.
You have to wonder. If Obama has the election sewed up, as the Democrats claim, then why all of this idiotic last minute Palin bashing?

The ObamaMorons are claiming it was “abuse of power.” Here’s the conclusion.
I find that, although Walt Monegan’s refusal to fire Trooper Michael Wooten was not the sole reason he was fired by Gov. Sarah Palin, it was likely a contributing factor to his termination as a commissioner of public safety. In spite of that, Governor […]

So you’re wondering why I’m up at this hour. Well, there’s that Palin rally. The doors open at 8, and it’s about an hour and a half from here. I have to pick up the Mystery Blogger who’s going, but after I hit Wal-Mart (thank God they’re open 24/7).
That’s after I shower and get ready, […]

First, the context. Here’s the picture.

Here’s the professional journalist’s or gateway keeper’s or urban idiot’s (take your pick) statement.
Hey, is that even the right way to hold a rifle? Can’t you shoot your foot off like that?
Tim Blair posted about this yesterday. Great comments.

It takes a really special kind of stupid to unite an entire […]

This has been going around for a couple of days. It’s actually really good.
This guy’s voting McCain-Palin, and he tells you why. The analogy to crabs in a bucket is genius.
“Matt Damon, I think you should be more gracious toward Sarah Palin because if she would have known you back in the day and have […]

The tickets to Saturday’s rally, that is. Palin only at this one, but I suspect there will be a full contingent of local and state GOP celebs. I’m positive the Russell Brigade will be out in full force — Bill may even be speaking at the rally (just guessing here).

Team McCain rolls out John Murtaugh:
“When I was 9 years-old the Weather Underground, the terrorist group founded by Barack Obama’s friend William Ayers, firebombed my house. Barack Obama has dismissed concerns about his relationship with Ayers by noting that he was only a child when Ayers was planting bombs at the Pentagon and the U.S. […]

Okay, I’ve already been to one — the first rally after the Palin announcement, in Washington PA, about thirty miles south of Pittsburgh — but this is an hour away — and I can pick up tickets at headquarters here in town.

Now, that is the John McCain I know!
I don’t need lessons about telling the truth to American people. And were I ever to need any improvement in that regard, I probably wouldn’t seek advice from a Chicago politician.
Zing! Oh, but there’s more. The gloves are off.
Senator Obama has accused me of opposing regulation to avert […]

The campaign responds to the “I didn’t know!” defense.

When I first saw this this morning, I decided to hold back until there was confirmation — not because of IUSB Vision, but because it was an unconfirmed email message from Greta van Mymouthisallscrewedupononeside.
Well, the proof is in the video. The President of the L.A. chapter of NOW (as in National Organization of Women) introduced […]
