Except he isn't on our ballot.
They also added a wrinkle to write-in ballots, in that the person has to in effect declare their candidacy ahead of time so the votes are counted. Unfortunately, it means we can't elect Mickey Mouse.

For all the undecided voters out there. I just heard the only reason you need to vote for anyone other than McBush/Palin.
They have been endorsed by none other than gosh darn little Dickey Cheney.
As that wonderful former mayor of Chicago Bill Thompson once said: " Vote early and vote often"
Vote for Ron Paul!

I tend to like reading and listening to Bill Kristol, mainly because he represents so easily where President Bush failed by listening to people like him. However, he sums up tomorrow pretty easily....
Obama has many paths to victory, McCain only has probably one narrow path to victory. But you only need one narrow path. He wins every state in which he’s ahead or even, which gets him to 200 electoral votes. He then wins Ohio and Florida, where he’s now behind in most polls, but certainly within range. A lot of people on the ground think he has a pretty good chance of Ohio and Florida. That gets him to 247 electoral votes. He snatches Pennsylvania, that’s key, I think, which would get him to 268. One short. That would be a heartbreaker, to win Pennsylvania and lose the election 270 to 268. Pennsylvania, of course, it was the small town Pennsylvanians that are so bitter, according to Sen. Obama. I thin , I think seriously, he has a better chance in Pennsylvania that a Republican would normally have. Then he needs to pick up one state, Nevada, Colorado, Virginia—which a state poll showed closing to 3 points today—or conceivably, New Hampshire, which he’s way behind in the polls, but of course, McCain has won two primaries there. It would be a poetic ending for McCain to take Pennsylvania on the bitter, small town residents’ votes, take New Hampshire out of sort of loyalty to John McCain and win the 272 electoral votes. So that’s how he does it. I’ve got it worked out. I’m not sure the voters agree, but it’s not implausible. It’s not very likely, but…it’s possible.
I like my 24 points behind with 2 minutes left in the game and no time outs analogy better, but Kristol agrees that McCain HAS to take Pa. out of the Dem catagory to have any chance.

Ok, so now that the Fed is broken down to Mccain/Palin, exactly where do they stand regarding Illegal immigration. You said that it is first on their list from the perspective in which I initially put it. I have not heard either one of these two utter a word about it. Have you heard them discuss this policy and maybe...on the very, very small chance that i would have missed it, what did they say that you would defend them in these regards?

The fed has to be first. The problem lies in the fact that laws ARE written and ENFORCED through legislation that allows them to be turned into fringe benefits for certain special interests. That IS the way it is. Sure they will "raise the question" as they always do to keep it out of scope for argument...just take a serious look at who is paying for the questions to be raised..alternatively through whom are they being raised. All this talk about jobs but just ask yourself who raised what questions regarding to what? The drivers license issue is now being raised conveniently so it gives credence to how business and jobs are really relavent to the economy of special interests as opposed the the entirety of.

I don't doubt that McCain wants what is best for America, but I also believe that Obama want the same exact thing. It is bogus argument that is trotted out that means absolutely nothing.

John McCain's presidential campaign has discovered the remix-unfriendly aspects of American copyright law, after several of the candidate's campaign videos were pulled from YouTube.
McCain has now discovered the rights holder friendly nature of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which forces remixers to fight an uphill battle to prove that their work is a "fair use."However, instead of calling for an overhaul of the much hated law, McCain is calling for VIP treatment for the remixes made by political campaigns.
McCain's proposal: complaints about videos uploaded by a political campaign would be manually reviewed by a human YouTube employee before any possible removal of the remix. The process for complaints against videos uploaded by millions of other Americans would stay the same: instant removal by a computer program, and then possible reinstatement a week or two later after the video sharing site has received and manually processed a formal counter-notice.
With 11 homes and 13 cars, it's not terribly surprising that McCain is calling for special treatment for the YouTube videos of politicians. As for the "fair use" claims of the poor starving masses: Let them eat cake.
On Tuesday, the McCain campaign sent a formal letter to YouTube asking for this two-tier system for "fair use" complaints. Copyright-guru Larry Lessig called it a "fantastic letter", adding "bravo to the campaign" in a post to his blog. Since then, the technology press has been pretty supportive, although the focus of the coverage seems to mainly be along the lines of "McCain realizes that fair use claims are uphill battle." This is the wrong message to send, and as much as I respect Professor Lessig, I have to call him out here. He is wrong. McCain should be criticized for his attempt to get special treatment, and Google/YouTube need to treat all users the same way.
All claims of fair use are equal--yet some claims are more equal than others.
The only way we will get an effective overhaul of copyright laws will be by forcing politicians to suffer along with the masses. The minute a special set of rules are made for those in Congress, the incentive to fix the system will disappear. To drive this point home, consider the following:
During the confirmation hearings for Judge Robert Bork, the Washington City Paper obtained a copy of the Republican nominee's video rental records. Alarmed at the possibility that their own rental histories would be revealed by the press, members of Congress jumped to pass comprehensive privacy legislation for the video rental records of all Americans. Up until the Bork fiasco, there had been no real incentive to fix anything, but once the risk to their own records was made clear, Congress acted. As a result, we are now all protected by the 1988 Video Privacy Protection Act.
Compare this to the horrible situation at airports. Americans are routinely harassed, prodded, poked and humiliated by employees of the Transportation Security Administration. While we stand in line like sheep, congressmen get to skip through the security lines, avoiding the entire process. Given the fact that they don't have to suffer at the hands of TSA, it's not terribly surprising that they have little incentive to fix the problems faced by the rest of us.
These two examples should make it clear--we cannot allow politicians to receive special treatment in copyright and fair use disputes. If anything, campaign videos should receive substandard treatment. McCain's videos deserve to rot in purgatory at the back of the DMCA queue, behind videos of toddlers, skateboarding dogs, Starwars Kid remixes, and the hundreds of clips of the dramatic chipmunk. Perhaps then, the senator will throw his weight behind comprehensive copyright reform that'll result in real benefits for the rest of the remix-population.

McCain won't touch it because he doesn't want to be the one who pays for the repeated damning of America speech . Country first is his platform and it would be sacrilegious for him to bring up the very thing that hit's him in the gut
Obama knows it and he is holding fast to McCain slogan and promise of country first promise not to bring it in ( If Mccain brings it up there will be back lash ) is the thought .
The message of Obama and Wright will get out

You do realize that there are almost 200 ambassadors serving at any point in time, so even if there were a bipartisan group, those numbers don't mean a whole lot.

You missed my point. My point was that it's no big deal for Republican appointees to Ambassadorships to support the current Republican candidate for President.

You do know that Republican Presidents appoint Republicans as ambassadors and Democratic Presidents appoint Democrats.
I'm sure that all the current and former Republican appointees are supporting McCain and that all the current and former Democratic appointees are supporting Obama.
What's you next mind numbing revelation going to be? Perhaps, the majority of current and former Republican appointees to cabinet positions are going to support McCain?
