It seems to me, McCain would be doing a lot better if his campaign wasn't just pandering only to the Republican base. Am I right? When ever I see footage of McCain rallies, its not a very diverse group, now is it?

I should mention that I'm from Canada, so I'm not totally versed in American politics.

He has a tiny portion of black voters who are Republicans, and he's got a chunk of Hispanics and somehow...
Native Americans.
He's also courted some Hillary supporters and we know Indies and some Dems voted for him in the primaries. Also, with all the talk about racism, the most disturbing thing is
the KKK want Obama to win. They think it will help start a race war.

I saw a black guy asking McCain when he was going to hit up Obama on Wright in one of Maddow's clips. He was the only one in the entire frame. He was in a suit. I was wondering if he was paid a handsome sum to be there :lol

By himself, in the front row. Of course it was a plant.

Wait, was it really 841? How did she even get into school with that?

Watching some of these McCain/Palin rallies, I almost believe it...

Did he actually say "hit up"? Cause that would be awesome.

So when do we get the polls which prove none of the negative tactics Mccain will ever try can be effective?

Tomorrow? Next week?

Asian markets have dropped 7-10% so far for Friday already. I think we may be seeing a global market crash, and soon a global depression.

I'm generally not concerned about market drops, as I'm a long term investor. Hell, I'm investing much more than usual right now. But the magnitude of this crash could end up leaving me unemployed.

We as a country cannot afford to have someone like McCain as President, especially considering the type of economists that he surrounds himself with. Obama on the other hand surrounds himself with Warren Buffet, Paul Volcker, etc.

Technically it is 1600, at least for most college admissions. A lot of schools don't take the new portion into account apparently, at least according to my brother who just went into college.

Not to generalize, but McCain is very pro-gambling, and for better or worse, that has a huge effect on the mobilization of the Native American vote in a lot of states. Again, that's not universal but it's a HUGE factor.

This should be surprising to no one who has heard this woman speak.

Many people could take a shit on one of the sections of the test and still score better than 841.

I got a 1250 (on a 1600 scale) on my first try without any studying... I got a much better verbal score than she did, despite being a foreigner living in US for six years when I took the test.

If I recall correctly, he is/was against betting on college sports, which has hurt him in Las Vegas.

Most of the Native American tribes seem to be pretty pro-Obama.

It's irrelevant - McCain is up to his armpits in it. His Vegas connections alone are ridiculous.


Anyway, Native American gambling is a SHITTY issue. Forcing reliance of a race on a single industry, run by "alien" lawyers is obviously a bunch of shit and bad for nearby communities. But you commit genocide on a people and steal all their shit, you owe those motherfuckers.

It just sickens me that the money lines the pockets of corporations, and then secondly, the tribes. Not to mention gambling is kind of unsustainable.

Remember when Palin ordered a separate Troopergate investigation by her own people, after the real one was already in motion after she became the veep nominee? And everyone said she would release it right before the official one to preempt the bad news?

She did.

To be fair, she went to a couple junior colleges first, I assume that's why she had five colleges for a bachelors.

You can't compare scores from then and now. The SAT's are a far greater deal now than they used to be. My parents didn't do well and my dad ended up with a Ph. D.
