You can use that link to work the online phonebank for McCain/Palin if you have unlimited long distance or a very generous plan. They'll give you numbers in battleground states.
Stay home or vote third party. Don't be surprised with what you get.

Pretty good column, fair assessment of the situation.
Great thread. Thanks for posting. We always enjoy Krauthammer’s on-target columns!

In an Obama administration, Krauthammer would pay DEARLY for writing this.
“This is not socialism. This is not the end of the world. It would, however, be a decidedly leftward move on the order of Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society. The alternative is a McCain administration with a moderate conservative presiding over a divided government and generally inclined to resist a European social-democratic model of economic and social regulation featuring, for example, wealth-distributing growth-killing marginal tax rates.”
Not socialism? Too close for comfort, Charles. I want my world back.
One thing is clear. John McCain better not assume he has a mandate to do as he wishes once he’s in the white house. He’ll find out in a big hurry that conservatives are still angry and have long memories.
Personally I think the GOP is just as responsible for the rise of the far left as the democrats are. The GOP has provided no anchor in conservative thought in recent years.
Final paragraph:
“Mr. McCain is the quintessential center-right candidate. Yet the quintessential center-right country is poised to reject him. The hunger for anti-Republican catharsis and the blinding promise of Obamian hope are simply too strong. The reckoning comes in the morning.”
Too strong? I love CK, but he has been a defeatist for weeks now. Despite some glowing pro-McCain columns in the past week or two, he has seemed curiously resigned to M/P going down to defeat.
Conservatives respect his opinion, but he has been demoralizing and he should know better. Write honestly, but some opinions should be witheld, because they only help the enemy and become self-fulfilling.
Hey Charles, you went ‘wobbly’ on this election a couple months ago, at a time we really didn’t need that. Good to see you’re back in the fold, but your ‘wobble’ was really bad timing.
Over their dead body, not mine.
Mr. Krauthmammer why would you of alllll people be claiming regrets to a leftward movement by 'center-right America? You were not fond of or thrilled with the right ever? I think you just met yourself on the backside.
Is bullsh!t. It doesn't exist. It was a made up crisis of epic proportions.
