For the record, the guy was speaking in mid-October, not post-election day.

Why should Joe the Senator conclude at that future time that we really mean it when we tell him that he has something to lose if he doesn't go along?

"It shows Obama as bipartisan and able to work with Republicans, and including his endorsement suggests Obama is respectable and trustworthy."

I had exactly the same reaction. I guess it is directed at the universe of voters that really want to vote for McCain if they could just get themselves comfortable with his global warming plans.

DancingBear Commented on Today's McCain Campaign Smear: Obama Called for Redistribution of Wealth in 2001 Radio Interview by astral66

2008-10-28T12:14:56Z

Listen to the whole program. Note that the first mention of the issue is discussing how the federal courts have been reluctant to get into redistribution in connection with school funding issues, but state courts have gotten into this. That's about whether taxation and funding systems that create wealthy school districts and poor school districts are truly providing equal opportunity. It's not a radical socialits concept, it's something that many states are having serious issues with, being dealt with both in the courts and in the legislatures. Yes, it's a form of redistribution of wealth, but well within the U.S. political mainstream.

Even the folks over at the Volokh Conspiracy, who haven't really been Obama fans in my experience, say Obama really shows his intellectual chops in this program. I listed to several of those old WEBZ programs and it was really interesting stuff.

Who the hell cast that commercial? Do any of those folks look like they sweat for their living? At least the "real" Joe the Plumber looks the part.

DancingBear Commented on Rudy Demands Press Probe Obama's Past Drug Use -- Which He Previously Dismissed As Irrelevant by Greg Sargent

2008-10-20T21:56:14Z

Anybody got any figures on what percentage of the voting population used drugs in their youth? I mean, come on, folks who were in their 20s during the Summer of Love are in their 60s now.

DancingBear Commented on McCain Adviser: McCain Likely To Confront Obama About Ayers At Debate by Greg Sargent

2008-10-13T22:38:07Z

One supposes that Obama and Biden wouldn't have challenged McCain's manhood on this point unless Obama has an answer teed up. It's one of those topics that Obama wouldn't want to raise but may want an opportunity to address.
