    "How about those Tampa Bay Rays?" Gov. Sarah Palin shouted in Jacksonville last week.

    "You know what that tells me, it tells me that the people in this area know a little something about turning an underdog into a victor," she said. "And we're counting on you to help us do that Nov. 4." Palin, who said essentially the same thing in Clearwater, might as well have pulled on a Rays jersey and sprayed the crowd with champagne and beer.

    But yesterday in Salem, N.H., John McCain's running mate was saying something remarkably similar about the other guys. “We’re just 20 days out from the election and it’s gonna come right down to the wire, and we’re counting on you because Red Sox fans know how to turn an underdog into a victor, and that’s exactly what you can help us do on Nov. 4!"

    It'll be a while before anyone panders to Orioles fans. :(

    Buck up tiger, I live in washington state, we never get politicians to show up and campaign and no one likes our teams (hell we just lost one).

    For his part, Obama waited until the White Sox were knocked out to throw in with the Phillies.

    It still just seems to me like they're suffering from the same problem that afflicts a lot of politicians nowadays.

    They don't realize that people can talk to and communicate with people a thousand miles away almost instantaneously. They don't get that people who see them in Ohio and people who see them in Florida can compare notes immediately afterward.

    Either that, or they don't realize they're being recorded whenever they do or say anything. To anyone. Anywhere.

    They totally do; I just know that it is very likely many of them will not vote if it isn't made easy. Frustrating, but thats the way it is.

    Some of them would though, and I think they will help me make this happen.

    Pedantic PSA for Other Pedants:

    'Federalist' no longer denotes support for a strong central government. The term has moved, and now for a long time means, in modern American politics, "one who supports a system of the government in which sovereignty is constitutionally divided between a central governing authority and constituent political units." Cope. :P

    I can't get over the sheer awesomeness of Obama's ground operations.

    http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2008/10/on-road-toledo-ohio.html
    Now that Debrah has settled into her role as one of Obama's Toledo Community Directors, she's amazed at the sophistication of the Obama structure. As a Community Director, she oversees three Neighborhood Team Leaders, volunteers who comprise the heart of Obama's volunteering infrastructure. Each neighborhood team, in turn, has up to five different coordinators: (1) the canvass coordinator; (2) the phonebank coordinator; (3) the volunteer coordinator; (4) the data coordinator; and (5) where applicable, the faith coordinator.

    In Ohio, Campaign for Change State Director Jeremy Bird told us, there are 1,231 defined neighborhoods, as of August 25 there were about 800 in place, and as of Saturday approximately 1,100 NTLs had been tested and were up in operation. By "tested," Bird said, each NTL had undergone and met a series of specific challenges the field organizers had presented.

    First, can the potential NTL organize a group of people? Whether by hosting a house party, a faith forum with a church group, or some other type of organizational meeting, the potential NTL needs to show they can lead the organization of their neighbors.

    Second, can the potential NTL pass the voter contact test? Can he or she lead a canvass, can he or she build a group phonebanking night? It's a leadership test, built around voter contact.

    Third, are they willing to make the final commitment by attending specific training for their role? Debrah Harleston smiled as she told us about the imminent blooming of satellite offices throughout the Toledo area so that neighborhood teams can begin running right in the neighborhoods autonomously. They've been trained, they've registered their voters, and now it's time to see how this baby runs.

    It was Standard Operating Procedure at Deval Patrick rallies in 06 and the Obama campaign used that campaign as a dry run in many ways I think.

    I can completely buy the Secret Service needing a tower as long as McCain is in the running, and do not begrudge AT&T or Verizon or whoever for complying with a great deal of haste.

    In short, it sounds bad as a headline, but I personally see nothing wrong with it.

    Nearly 48 years ago, a young woman, not yet 18, became pregnant in her freshman year of college. Living in a time and place in which abortion was generally illegal, she proceeded to marry the father of her child and gave birth to a son. Perhaps she would have done so irrespective of the abortion laws at the time, even if, say, she lived in a legal culture that celebrated abortion as a fundamental right. Very possibly not. (I haven’t found any statistics on the percentage of pregnant college freshmen who abort their pregnancies, but indirect indications suggest that it’s very high.)

    Barack Obama may actually believe, as he stated yesterday, that Roe v. Wade “was rightly decided.” But it may be very lucky for him, as the son born of that woman, that it hadn’t been decided a dozen or so years earlier.

    That Obama may owe his very life to a pre-Roe legal regime that banned abortion is, to be sure, not necessarily a reason that he should favor that regime (though I can’t help noting that Justice Thomas’s critics recklessly accuse him of hypocrisy for opposing racial-preference plans that they say he benefited from). But it ought to lead Obama and others to think more carefully about the valuable role that protective abortion laws play.

    Dude, you're as easy to see through as a sheet of Saran Wrap.

    When local field organizer Christian Lund took the stage just prior to Joe Biden's appearance on Tuesday night in Marietta, he asked those in the attendant crowd of about 4,000 to look at the sheets in their hands. Each sheet held four names, and each name had a phone number and a bar code for later data scanning. Lund asked the people in the crowd to make four phone calls to this targeted group, and then he demonstrated.

    Is this standard at this point? If it's not, it should be.

    That is so fucking cool

    It's getting harder and harder to not take this thing for granted.

    I saw that one the site, but I just now noticed the guy on the right reading a book.

    What the hell is that "Democrat McCain" sign in the window? It's not "Democrats for McCain", there's no s. If it's "Democrat for McCain", then it's hilarious. You couldn't find one other person to pluralize it?

    Well its the kind of sign a single person would put up, I mean if you were advertising you were for mccain you wouldn't really call yourself a democrats.

    Its democrats, the angle of the sign + a fold in it is giving the illusion.
