Palin’s ‘going rogue,’ McCain aide says
From Dana Bash, Peter Hamby and John King
CNN
ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico (CNN) — With 10 days until Election Day, long-brewing tensions between GOP vice presidential candidate Gov. Sarah Palin and key aides to Sen. John McCain have become so intense, they are spilling out in public, sources say. Several McCain advisers have suggested to CNN that they have become increasingly frustrated with what one aide described as Palin “going rogue.”A Palin associate, however, said the candidate is simply trying to “bust free” of what she believes was a damaging and mismanaged roll-out.McCain sources say Palin has gone off-message several times, and they privately wonder whether the incidents were deliberate. They cited an instance in which she labeled robocalls — recorded messages often used to attack a candidate’s opponent — “irritating” even as the campaign defended their use. Also, they pointed to her telling reporters she disagreed with the campaign’s decision to pull out of Michigan. 
Watch why the campaign is fighting »
A second McCain source says she appears to be looking out for herself more than the McCain campaign.
“She is a diva. She takes no advice from anyone,” said this McCain adviser. “She does not have any relationships of trust with any of us, her family or anyone else.

AND THEIR ‘RULERS OF MASS DESTRUCTION’!
Anti-war nuns branded as ‘terrorists.’
THE ELDERLY ONES ARE THE MOST DANGEROUS OF THE LOT!
Sisters Carol Gilbert and Ardeth Platte have been “secretly branded by Maryland State Police as terrorists and placed on a national watch list” due to their participation in anti-war protest activities. They were added to the list after Maryland state police spied on them: “This term terrorist is a really serious accusation,” Sister Ardeth, a nun for 54 years, told The Washington Times on Thursday in the first interview that the women have given since being informed they were among 53 people added to a terrorist watch list in conjunction with an extensive Maryland surveillance effort of antiwar activists.

McCAIN’S MOOSEMAMA BARBIE!!!
Palin Outfits Cost RNC* $150K
McCain opted for public financing. Now all the poor Republicans can see where their tax dollars are going.
* Public financing means that all tax payers Democrats and Republicans contributed to Sarah Palin’s wardrobe, jewelry, hair and makeup as well as for Mr. Mom Dude and baby!
By Juliet Eilperin
The Republican National Committee has spent more than $150,000 on clothing, accessories and makeup for GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin and her relatives since John McCain selected her as his running mate, according to federal election records.

Poll Junkie
I will fully admit that at this point in any campaign I follow I am a complete junkie for daily polling numbers. Given the real or imagined fluctuations in polls, our current presidential run between Obama and McCain has been particularly hard on a poll addict like myself.
To begin with there are far too many polls tracking the elections. To make it a little more digestible, but no less addictive, some Internet sites have begun compiling daily poll results and posting a daily average. Real Clear Politics is a site that for one has done a good job of keeping me completely hooked on polls by keeping the partisan ones out so as not to skew the polls and therefore pissing me off. I check daily to see the spread and each day its just a little bit different.
Another issue is the averages. If you check the polls used to compile averages there always seems to be one that doesn’t seem to fit and skews the numbers. One such poll right now is today’s Associated Press-GfK poll that shows Obama and McCain running basically even. Problem with the AP poll is no one else on the planet shows the race that way. Today’s Washington Post-ABC News poll showed Obama up by 9 percentage points, while a poll by the nonpartisan Pew Research Center had Obama leading by 14. Many others show Obama up by at least four points.
So what gives? Why does the AP poll show something completely different. My junkie mind cant rap around it and it causes me a day of anxiety until the next polls numbers show up. What gives me comfort is the fact that most of the polls I have digested that have come after the last debate show McCain gained a tiny bit of ground then promptly lost it.
Wait….wait… a new poll is out. Sorry got to go.

Get a Life!! It’s over, man!
Subject: are you still pissed?
If you’re still pissed off about the 2000 elections, GET A LIFE!!!!!!!!!
Its over man.
Sharon
Sharon, you say, “It’s over?”
I’ll tell you what’s over.
The World Trade Centers are over, because Bush ignored the warnings.
The lives of 4128 soldiers are over because Bush lied.
The health of 60,000 soldiers is over because Bush lied.
The Fourth Amendment is over, and the Sixth Amendment, and Bush set up
“Free Speech Zones” so I guess the First Amendment is over, too.
The integrity of the Justice Department is ancient history.
Diplomacy died an early death with this president.
Valerie Plame’s career as a CIA spy is over and we don’t know how many
CIA contacts died because Bush-Cheney wanted to punish the truth tellers.
North Korea’s estrangement from making nukes is over.
New Orleans as a livable city – that’s probably over.
The meters on Iraq’s oil pumps – gone – so Halliburton can steal at will.
Our right to privacy is over – Bush can read our mail, read our e-mails, bug our
phones, check into our bank accounts and the library books we check out.
Bidding on government contracts is over – it all goes to Bush’s friends and
they can now sell the military millions of gallons of gasoline for $10 a pop.
Non-partisan Supreme Court judges – that’s a thing of the past.
The 911 Commission? That’s over and they didn’t blame anybody for anything.
How about our friendships with other countries – that’s over
Science is over with this religiously-insane president.
He says God told him “Science is bad,” so we avoid science at all costs.
The Rule of Law is over – Bush says no laws apply to him since he bungled 9-11.
A ready-to-fight military? That’s definitely over.
The health of the 9-11 first responders – gone – thanks to Bush.
A stable economy? Bush destroyed that, too – it’s gone for a long time.
Of course, Clinton’s surpluses are loooong gone.
Mining safety laws? They were gone soon after Bush took office.
Stem cell research is gone – who needs their health when God is Risen?
Clear skies and healthy forests? Gone, and gone.
Pat Tillman, his life is over – I wonder why Bush covered up his death?
The dream that things will be better for our kids – that’s over, too.
Your home being the best retirement plan? That’s certainly over.
The Bush name in American politics? That’s deader than Francisco Franco.
100,000 White House e-mails? Illegally destroyed – to cover up what?
The separation of Church & State – that’s over.
Bush is taking MY TAXES and giving it to superstitious
handjobs who support him.
Congressional oversight is dead – (but you can blame the Democrats for that.)
Medal of Freedom integrity is gone, too. Bush gave medals to Tommy Franks,
George Tenet, and Paul Bremer “for all their great work in Iraq.”
Our votes being counted – that’s gone, too
Oil companies paying taxes? That’s gone like T-Rex.
Bush’s attendence records in the Nat Guard – over or never existed?
Statue of Liberty? Still there, but meaningless in a torture-is-fun America.
Of course, some things are NOT over, like Bush’s war in Iraq, Bush’s war
in Afghanistan and the hostility from soon-to-be nuke-happy Iran.
And the torture – that’s not over – the torture never stops under
this president. Borrowing from the Saudis to finance tax cuts for
the super rich – that’s not over.
As you can tell, this list could go on for a few more hours.
But you were right – “IT” is over, for most Americans.
Canadians Blow It, Big Time
from breadwithcircus.com
Last Tuyesday, Canadians gave Stephen Harper’s Conservatives a second minority government. After all of the bluster, 40 days of noise and millions of dollars spent, the election’s result was that the Conservatives took twenty seats or so from the Liberals.
This was certainly a boost for Stephen Harper, but in reality, the outcome was essentially meaningless as they still don’t have enough seats to control the house of commons.
The election proved to be all for nothing. Canadians missed a historic opportunity. (more…)
