Update: Fox news is reporting that Obama's pollster is confirming the results discussed here. In a memo sent to the Florida ground operation, he confirms that the polls are tightening up and that GOTV operations are critical and in need of resources in Florida, Ohio, North Carolina, and Virginia. He says that resources are less of a problem in Pennsylvania. When contacted by Fox, he confirmed the McCain release, "McCain is right".

Add to that the Hindenburg as well. So regal and yet???? We know that sad ending of that voyage as well.
One of the Leyte Gulf actions?
Suriyago Straits?
"One ping only, please."
The Battle of Surigao Strait
EXCELLENT!
I’ve only watched that movie 10 times and still missed it, lol.
If this early voting were working out as hypocrats had hoped, all we’d be hearing 24/7 is the landlside for bambi, since we’re not, it’s safe to say it’s very close or even all McCain thus far.
Logic that is difficult to argue with
Surigao Strait, part of the Battle of Leyte Gulf, is correct. And yes, John McCain’s grandfather commanded TF38.1, a potent carrier task group, during the Battle of Leyte Gulf. However, his force did not take an active part as Halsey detached it for replenishment a day or two before the main engagement.
Barack Obama: Even God couldn’t sink my ship!
He didn’t realize that his iceberg came from way up north (Sarah).
Measure the landlubber for his chains!
Avast ye bilge rat...smartly lads with the chain shot to the chase guns!
Sail ho!
Send her to the bottom, mateys, and we'll all splice the main brace!
I am leery of any reports that early voting is going one way or the other. As I understand, in Indiana the early votes and absentees are tallied on election day and not before. Can anyone direct me to any state sites where it states that early voting or absentee votes are counted before election day? I am not questing anyone's statements but would like some proof that some states count votes before election day.
I cannot get the link to work. Is it down? :(
The huge undecided vote this year is the Political Correctness effect, they’re McCain voters. You’ll see on election day that many who when polled said Obama really meant “McCain”.
Overloaded? I’ll try and find a new link.
The whole red state site is down now, Obamabots? LOL

post from the DUmpster
Again with my concern: the canvass flake rate was 30% last Saturday and our phone flake rate was more like 50% and even before that we were already short of the goals for knocks and dials that the head honchos had set for our county that day. (Flake rate means the percentage of people who signed up for a shift and then didn’t show up - we are trying to switch over to using “no show rate” but some terms just aren’t easy to change.) We’re hearing this all over.
Blame it on nice weather or blame it on sports or blame it where it belongs. This is good reason for concern. People are acting like this is a done deal.
Our field organizers are getting anxious and a bit cranky. These are people who actually get paid to do their jobs for Obama. Their bosses are getting irritated about the volunteers. They don’t want to hear about how far ahead we are in the polls. They always say “don’t talk about that - work like we’re down 20 points”.
Barack said, “Don’t get cocky!” meaning that we can’t get complacent; there’s still work to do.
This last weekend Barack himself asked a crowd, “Will you make calls for us? Will you knock on doors for us?” The crowd yelled, “Yes!” But I wonder how many people even made it over to their local office.
The people running this GOTV plan KNOW the plan, and they know EXACTLY how many knocks and dials we need in EXACTLY which precincts to get PRECISELY X number of votes turned out, and they JUST want us to WORK THE PLAN.
They don’t want us to worry and beat each other down. I sure as heck don’t want that. The people at the top of this campaign understand the meaning and value of HOPE more than any of us here. We can all see the light at the end of this eight-year (more like 20-year) tunnel.
But they also don’t want us to be doing the victory dance and champagne Jell-o shots quite yet.
Here is my main point. People aren’t volunteering at the levels we need.
