AK-Sen: No surprise to anyone, but Mark Begich is going to win this. Post-conviction Rasmussen:
Rasmussen. 10/27. Likely voters. MoE ±4.4%. (10/06 numbers)
Begich (D) 52 (48)
Stevens (R-inc) 44 (49)Not looking good for the senior Senator, is it? But guess what...he still has one critical ally.
Rep. Don Young (R-Alaska), who is also under investigation by federal officials, offered a whole-hearted, but odd endorsement of Stevens, equating his pursuit of justice with that of disgraced former President Richard Nixon.
"I can remember Richard Nixon, you know, his years of service, what he's done, and everybody [was] ridiculing him, and he ended up being the greatest president in the history of our century. ... The Senator will be re-elected. He will appeal it. When he does go, he will win it because there's no way this is a jury of his peers," Young told the Anchorage Daily News.

You mean that Obama spent a few years of his childhood in Indonesia, which happens to be predominantly Muslim? That he was once on a committee where there was a former, exonerated, left-wing militant in the midst? that he went to a church run by the firebrand reverand Wright?
That's the "skeletons"? are you fucking serious...?
I'm speculating here.
Maybe he raped a 5 year old boy whilst taking kick backs from oil companies????
- or that he had a drug and alcohol problem like Bush and went AWOL on conscription duty? Like BUSHKhurram
- Wasn't Obama hooked on cocaine in the 80's? I could have sworn he said so.********
- Yeah, he said he did drugs openly in his autobiography. Is that skeletons he's ashamed of? Unlike Bush who denies his coke habitKhurram
- coke habitKhurram
- Well, I can respect someone that admits it and got help for it.********
- Obama was also top of his class at Harvard Law and he's an incorrigible wonk. Bush is neither.waterhouse

maybe we can make a list of his skeletons... one by one so we're all clear?
1.
2.
3.???
- Khurram0
Or how about the slander going his way:
1) He's Muslim - no he's not, he's a devout Christian, born and raised
2) He associates with terrorists - no he doesn't, he met one in a professional context on a committee he was on
3) He is influenced by a racist pastor - no he isn't. He fully denounced Wright's views, whilst acknowledging the Black Liberation Theology that is socio-culturally important to that part of Chicago. That makes him even more American that he can bridge that narrative...
4) He's an elitist out of touch with people - Dude worked as a volunteer living amongst Chicago's poorest slums.Are these skeletons??? Is there anything else I'm missing??
- Khurram0
Wait, i got some:
1) Dude is a devout Christian - fuck that shit!
2) His speach at AIPAC - cunt-face wont wear an American flag pin but will wear an Israeli one
3) He's in the pay of the same corporate groups, and represents the same neo-liberal agenda of the upper 20% as the Clinton'sUmmm, i can prolly think of more. But these aren't exactly "skeletons".

Yes Alex Lau aka JazX, he mentioned the committee he was on regarding a school that was set up by an organisation that was co-founded by Educationalist William Ayers.
What is your point exactly?
- Stumbled upon it, but no need to use real names, that's the point of a username.********
- you call Bill Ayers an "Educationalist?"********
- Sorry Alex, but i was wondering what the point of that dumb article you posted was?Khurram
- Yes Jaz. That's his job. He builds schools in Chicago and in a University ProfessorKhurram
- Oh, and it was in reference to JK's comment.********

Sowell: Obama Win Would Be Historic Tragedy
http://www.newsmax.com/insidecov…Some elections are routine, some are important, and some are historic. If Sen. John McCain wins this election, it probably will go down in history as routine. But if Sen. Barack Obama wins, it is more likely to be historic — and catastrophic.
Once the election is over, the glittering generalities of rhetoric and style will mean nothing. Everything will depend on performance in facing huge challenges, domestic and foreign.
Performance is where Obama has nothing to show for his political career, either in Illinois or in Washington.

- catastrophic. big words.
Boo! Be Afraid. - I'm John McCain and I approve this message.monkeyshine - This guy Sowell is talking out the top of his ass.robotron3k

I can be just as militant abuot McCain, i don't see his skeletons either.
As far as i'm concerned, their politics and what they represent is all there is up out there in the open. Judge it freely, here i am, rock you like a hurricaine.
What's with the muck raking? That's just partisan shit, and NOTHING more.
- McCain has a lot as well. I mean the guy was born in 1936.********
