I know. And even if we don't really elect him, the powers that be can't let Obama win and will, I'm afraid, do what they need to to make McCain the president.
Stupid, really. And spineless. My favorite is that he distorted the analysis of factcheck.org...which makes factcheck.org really mad.
The trick is that, ultimately, McCain has no record to stand on. And when it comes to the debate, he will have big problems. Right now, Palin is all hot in the press because she is new and she surprised everyone because she gave a good speech - but with every (limited) exchange where she steps away from the pre-vetted party speech written by Bush's speechwriter, she has sounded extremely uninformed.
Wait for the debate. Just wait for it. And when you are feeling depressed by polling numbers, check out the electoral college vote stands.
A nice factcheck extra on the rape kit thing -- Joe Biden is the primary sponsor of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) in the U.S. Senate, and one of the key provisions of VAWA when it was last renewed was a nationwide ban on any police agency requiring victims of sex crimes to pay for the collection/storage of forensic evidence.

Matt and I go back and forth talking about the elections, and I refuse to vote for McCain and his nut-job partner.
