I, personally, have noticed a lot of tension lately in the online community.

Although Obama’s camp left the decision open as to whether or not they wanted to swiftboat in this campaign season, those on the far left have made up their minds.
They have criticized McCain’s service in the air force by claiming that pilots don’t have to take responsibilty for or think about the people that […]

I’m Voting Republican
First it was Obama Girl: the saucy, young dancer endorsing Barack Obama with a very catchy music video. Now the Democratic party has developed a new internet video as part of their program to get people registered to vote (for Obama). Behold!
If McCain can’t realize that utilizing the internet to its fullest would put his […]

McCain’s Economic Team
Recently McCain and Hillary stunned many in the field of economists by defying all of their detailed and unanimous advice and embracing the ridiculous gas tax vacation plan. Barack Obama used this issue to prove himself well versed in economics and prepared to accept advice when it came along.

Hillary’s Ship Is Sinking
So says Chadwick Matlin of Slate. He sees her now with a 2.5% chance to win.
Start with George McGovern pulling his support of Hillary. McGovern says she waged a valiant campaign, but now is the time for her to say good-bye.

Gas Tax “Vacation” is Absurd
As Jeff Miller on A Dash of Insight notes, Hillary and McCain are in favor of a plan that would make gas taxes go away for a while - just to help out the little people. How nice of them. Right? Not really.

McCain’s “Service To America” Tour
McCain is going cross-country from Maryland (Annapolis, of course) to Arizona bringing his message to the American people and letting the voters get to know him. Here’s his ad:

Why Fight Tooth and Nail?
Because it works. Many elections have been decided in the back room, as opposed to the popular vote.
Witness Dubya in 2000, who was lagging a half million votes behind in the national vote tally.
Says Andrew Gumbel of the LA Times, and author of the book, “Steal This Vote: Dirty Elections and the Rotten […]
