Honestly, that was pretty funny. I've had the same thoughts about Obama myself. He's cool for a President, but he's definitely not cool when compared to every day Black men in real life. :)

Joe the Plumber " I once was on welfare, my parents twice!"

...So, Joe benefited from the goodwill, and taxes of others. I wonder what would have happened to Joe had he not had that "leg up" when he needed it. Maybe he'd be in the slammer.

Nice article but toward the end there is a link to a great website which provides stats on early voting. Interesting things I noticed included:

Goodness no wonder ppl think GA is in play, it appears they have already matched 60% of their total vote. FL is @ 54%, the variable w/FL is that wide ind voters margin. Given the fact Dems lead R's 59-28% in LA, I am surprised no one is discussing it. Perhaps it is because only 13% have voted. This could be a testament to enthusiasm. In NC, they have matched 73% and glad to see youth voters have done well. Finally here in TX, I wonder if this could reflect lack of interest by the Rs in red states, which might lead to a lower popular vote for McCain.

If there was a headline that said "Hate We Can Believe In" and the ad was sponsored by the 'GOP Trust', then that same ad aired during tonight's Cold Case on CBS.

It didn't work in the spring, why would they think it'd work now? It just makes the GOP looks pathetic and desperate...like they truly have been since the Palin 'bump' wore off and the economy took a nosedive.

Did anyone watch Sunday Night Football? According to TPM, the RNC or any group affiliated with the party had a Rev. Wright ad run during the program. These people are so stupid. I guess they didn't learn from the special elections of last spring that those kind ads galvanize more blacks to vote for the Democrats. Fools.

rikyrah: UNBELIEVABLE!! MUDFLATTERS IN CHICAGO!!

http://mudflats.wordpress.com/2008/11/02/mudsto...
Mudstock II in Chicago!

Today in Chicago, a group of dedicated Mudflatters gathered for the second, in hopefully a long line of Mudstock events! I was so thrilled to get the photos and great write-up of yet another real-life get-together of the Mudflats community! Here’s the writeup from ‘Bec Hussein of Illinois’ complete with pictures from Bec and Shikago!

To make things interesting, three of the Mudflatters’ screen names are “Chicago”, “Chicago” and “Shikago”! You can have fun figuring it out!

Well Chicagos, Shikago, and Chicagoans, the rest of us were with you in spirit! Thanks for sharing your wonderful afternoon with us.

SKIP

In closing, we send our very best Chicago greetings to all the other Mudflatters/Mudpuppies from Alaska and the other “49” states, Canada, Australia, and many places around the world. This has been a most welcoming, encouraging, and sanity-strengthening community during the election. Of course, we couldn’t be prouder to have the next president of the United States, Barack Obama, as a fellow-Chicagoan. We know the road ahead will still be rocky as the country pulls together. As Shikgao said in the special prayer/meditation he wrote and read to us before we ate — our country needs healing. Obama is the one to get this started.

Now that we found Mudflats, there is no way that we can stay away from those crazy Alaskan politics. We have to see a few other chapters of this story played out. Though we all need a little break from the all-consuming obsession that this election has become, we aren’t ready to leave Alaska on its own. So you are going to have Chicago, and all the rest of the Mudflats community, hanging in there to hear AKM report what happens next. We all know how we’d like the story to end! Let’s hope it includes a new Alaskan senator in Washington, an old one off to prison, a former state employee vindicated, and the brakes slammed on any notion that a particular Alaskan governor will be able to “rear her ugly head” in 2012!

Dutifully submitted by:

Bec Hussein of Illinois

This is EXCITING!! Alaskans are receiving SUPPORT RIGHT IN CHICAGO!! :>) :>)
