This map looks familiar…

2008 election map county

The University of Michigan has once again released some interesting maps that reflect, county by county, how we all voted a couple of days ago. After looking at the above map, I though it seemed vaguely familiar to another map I saw recently…

"We can see a future of hope and of pride and faith in democracy, not the blind, jingoistic kind, but a clear-eyed faith in the hard work of democracy and the good that government can do because it is ours; it is us. Out of many, we are one. The dream of our founding fathers is alive."

"What’s been astounding about the Republicans during this whole campaign is the ludicrous sense of entitlement they have toward the office of the presidency. It’s like they were born on third base and forgot that the Supreme Court waved them home."

kittykittybangbang found a very partisan, but well written summary of how the Republicans are going to lose today.

Kick-ass. For everyone who was disappointed by the debates, this video is for you.

Do we need to re-think the debates? Would people even watch a 2 hour discussion, a back and forth over the minutia of policy? I actually think that a series of talking points mixed with the occasional “Harumph” is exactly what  most Americans can handle during primetime.

"There are many of us from there and still there (my mother, for one) who think Sarah Palin is anything BUT American. Real Americans don’t scapegoat other Americans; we don’t blame working people who want to own a home and reward Wall Street suits who make up risky investments so they can buy that house in the Hamptons. They don’t send young men and women from those small towns to fight and kill and die on a lie and then vote against a new GI Bill. Real Americans care about their neighbor who can’t afford medical treatment. They just want to send their kids to college and keep their decent jobs and raise their families in peace. Sadly, too many people who live in those small towns think like Palin and McCain and their lot, my mother excepted."

"Why do these groups still exist?"

Its not about getting their people to vote for your guy, its about ensuring your people get out and vote for your guy. Why do theyexist? Because it works. There is a low cost (free) so every person who signs-up or promises is a 100% win. It works. Shut Up Internet!: Political Persuasion Group
