2008 Presidential Election News

In the last few elections, much has been made about election fraud, most of it by people denied the right to vote, or who used electronic voting machines and saw their vote flipped from one candidate to another. But what if you could video tape your experience?

Well, actually, you could then, though not as easily as now, and certainly in 2000 you wouldn't have had a place to share it. On Wednesday PBS, YouTube and a host of others teamed to announce "Video Your Vote."

The American Civil Liberties Union is trumpeting a judge's decision in Michigan which brings to a halt the practice of eliminating voters from rolls if their mailing address is found to be invalid.

WASHINGTON - Too busy playing video games to watch presidential ads on television? Barack Obama has found you, too, by becoming the first presidential candidate to buy ad space inside a game.

Barack Obama and John McCain both will pursue the image of a strong leader in troublesome economic times as they meet Wednesday night for their third and final presidential debate.

Their face-off comes as Obama widens his lead in typically Democratic states and campaigns with an air of optimism about his prospects, while McCain seeks a way to gain ground and finds himself defending traditionally Republican states with less than three weeks left in the race.

Barack Obama is not a Muslim, and John McCain did not tell the television show "60 Minutes" he was a war criminal who intentionally bombed women and children in Vietnam.

Try the online Obama/Biden Tax Calculator (not for itemizers though, sorry!). Barack Obama and Joe Biden will cut taxes for 95% of working families, and provide at least three times as much tax relief for middle class families as John McCain and Sarah Palin.

Golly, for a group that's committed so much "voter fraud" for so long (if you're gullible enough to believe the lies that RNC/FNC has been telling you) it's mighty strange that, as News One notes, "McCain attended an ACORN convention just two years ago."

"The older demographic particularly were being hit with tons and tons of Obama smear e-mails," Wallach said. "If you really want to talk to them in a way that will bring them over to the Obama side, you want to do it one to one, ideally with people they love. And grandparents love no one more than their grandkids."

Barack Obama focuses on his energy plan in a video message to supporters gathered at house parties to watch the fall campaign's final presidential debate Wednesday night.

She claims the report "vindicates" her. She said that the investigation found "no unlawful or unethical activity on my part." Her response is either astoundingly ignorant or downright Orwellian.

A new investigation at Salon.com sheds light on how Governor Palin’s ties to the radical right are far deeper than previously thought. Journalists Max Blumenthal and David Neiwert detail how Palin was elected Mayor of Wasilla over a decade ago with the help of activists from the Alaska Independence Party and the John Birch Society. They allege she tried to return the favor later by attempting to appoint one of them to an empty city council seat.

It's amazing how much real news is revealed on a faux news comedy show like The Colbert Report. Last month Kathleen Parker, conservative columist, blasted Sarah Palin in a column, saying "she's out of her league." She said Palin should drop out.

Democrats are thought typically to lose arguments about taxes, as Republicans paint themselves as tax cutters and Democrats get lost in the weeds of explaining that on net, or for the middle class, they're tax cutters too.

It is no secret that many, including conservatives, feel that Sarah Palin is uniquely unqualified to be Vice-President, whether it be on economic issues, social issues, or global issues. And now the former chief strategist for Bush's re-election campaign has come out still stronger, saying McCain "put the country at risk" with his pick of Palin.

William Timmons, the Washington lobbyist who John McCain has named to head his presidential transition team, aided an influence effort on behalf of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein to ease international sanctions against his regime.

In an interview with CNN this afternoon, Sen. John McCain responded to conservative critics who say he should not be proposing so much government spending to lift the troubled economy.

The scariest thing about John McCain's running mate isn't how unqualified she is - it's what her candidacy says about America.

Now, I commend Sen. McCain for correcting that woman, for setting the record straight. But I do have one question -- so what if he was?

So what if Obama was Arab or Muslim? So what if John McCain was Arab or Muslim? Would it matter?

From thirty-five years of clinical experience, we can tell you a lot about Sarah Palin's real personality and why it makes many people even more nervous than John McCain's.

John McCain: If your campaign does not stop equating Sen. Barack Obama with terrorism, questioning his patriotism and portraying Mr. Obama as "not one of us," I accuse you of deliberately feeding the most unhinged elements of our society the red meat of hate, and therefore of potentially instigating violence.
