What not to wear to the polls on Election Day
From CNN Correspondent Dan Lothian
ARLINGTON, Virginia (CNN) — Campaign paraphernalia is everywhere nowadays. People are sporting T-shirts, hats and pins touting their candidate of choice. But wearing your political allegiances can cause a problem at the polls.
In some states, what you wear to the voting booth could determine whether you are allowed to vote or be sent home to change.
Anti-robocall robocall
Process and substance have basically merged in this race, with the biggest black mark on McCain's record apparently his political moves a few weeks ago.
And now Obama's out with a robocall attacking McCain's attack robocalls. TPM hasthe Wisconsin version (.wav):
"I live in Green Bay and, like you, I've been getting sleazy phone calls and mail from John McCain and his supporters viciously -- and falsely -- attacking Barack Obama," says the caller. "I used to support John McCain because he honorably served our country -- but this year he's running a dishonorable campaign. We know McCain will continue many of Bush's policies, and now he's using George Bush's divisive tactics. In fact, he hired the Bush strategists whose attacks even McCain once called hateful."
"Both parties can do the job, but if I had my pick, I'm definitely going with Joe and Barack"
By Shaheem Reid, with reporting by Jennifer VineyardThere's less than a month until Election Day, and Young Jeezy is still putting the word out for everyone to get to the polls this year. The Snowman is leaning heavily toward the Democratic side, especially since Republican presidential nominee John McCain chose Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate.
"I like Joe [Biden] a little bit better than Sarah," Jeezy said recently. "I understand she's the soccer mom and all that, and that's good. But if something happens to McCain, then what? Do you want a soccer mom to run the country? That's cool. I mean, she can run the house, though. I like Joe, though. Definitely. You got to be tough. I mean, I'm definitely not saying anything against what women do, but at the same time, Joe's firm, Barack [Obama]'s firm. They're straight to the point. They don't beat around the bush. Both parties can do the job, but if I had my pick, I'm definitely going with Joe and Barack. Too much more serious things going on."
One of those things is the nationwide economic crisis — Jeezy named his album to reflect the nation's current monetary difficulties.
Viewer Reactions to the VP Debate from politico.com
Deborah Tannen, Author and professor of linguistics:
It felt like two different shows playing side by side on a split screen. Biden was debating policy, talking specifics: of what was done wrong in the present administration, what an Obama adminstration would do differently. Palin relied on a small number of tactics: folksy speech (heck of a lot, darn right, John said That's where I wanchuh, dropped g's), references to her daily life, and repetition of a few mantras: government is bad (folksily phrased as dialogue: "Sayin' government, yknow you're not the solution"), John can win wars, Democrats will raise taxes, John is a maverick).
She was ready with a cover for not being able to answer questions: "I may not answer the way you want but I'm gonna talk straight." I'm wondering if commentators will pick up on any of her mis-speaks; one that sticks in my mind was: "John McCain is the man we need to leave. uh lead.
Biden shows experience, Palin pushes 'maverick' record
(CNN) -- Sen. Joe Biden gave a knowledgeable but restrained performance in Thursday night's debate, while Gov. Sarah Palin sought to show that her accomplishments as governor and mayor prove she is qualified to be vice president.
Biden slammed John McCain, saying that "he has been no maverick on the issues that matter to people lives," but his only challenge to Palin was asking her to articulate a policy on the Iraq war.
Palin pushed her "track record of reform" and said she and McCain are a " team of mavericks."
Biden called current Vice President Dick Cheney "one of the most dangerous vice presidents."
Biden said he would serve a different role than Cheney if Obama was elected president.
"I would not be the president," said Biden. "But I would be there to give advice."
WTF - Was Sarah Palin flirting with America? Is that how you play the sex card?
Palin Game Plan:
- Do not answer the questions asked
- Don't stray from the talking points
- Out talk Biden and restate everything
- Dance around the issues
- Talk about energy at every oppurtunity
- Look directly into the camera and smile
- Flirt your sweet Alaskan ass off
Is it cheating if you don't answer the questions from the moderator? Could someone explain this to me?
