It's a Helluva Nail-biter
The day has finally dawned. The US Presidential Election. Oh me, oh my. My stomach is in knots, I have a caffeine induced headache, and I'm prowling the flat virtually glued to the internet for any news.

Tonight I dream... of Freedom and Democracy... of Flag and Flame... >> of a million strangers casting their die >> Of baby-boomers... Wall-Street-predators... Welfare freaks... Submissive housewives... College kids botoxed-on-daddy's-dreams... Felons-on-a-bum-rap... Crack-addicts... Prozac-Sorority-Row-Sisters... Of a Destructive Man Holding Our Future...

ZOGBY JUMPS
It's two-hour-old news by now, but here it is anyway: John Kerry will be the next president of the United States, according to daredevil pollster John Zogby. He had it right the last time when everybody else had it wrong,...

You think American Political Culture Has Degenerated?
I have news for you my friends--the "golden age" of enlightened democratic participation has never existed. It's just been one damned "log cabin and hard cider campaign" after another. So get out there and support your team! After all--the only...

election day blues, from a non U.S. citizen
As a non U.S. citizen without any legal right to vote, it's been interesting these days to watch as the election unfolds all around me and I hear opposing sides, and yes, have opinions but not a damn thing I...

Chief Justice Mario M. Cuomo?
Last Wednesday I said in no uncertain terms that U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist would not be back on the bench when the Court returned yesterday. He wasn't. And he will probably never return. It it almost...

ZOGBY: Virginia tied, NC within 3%
At 11:43 am this morning John Zogby posted the following message on Zogby International's site: "Watch Colorado, Florida, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. There may be some big surprises!" Everyone knew Florida, Pennsylvania, and Colorado were going to be pretty close, but...

JOKING MATTERS
Voting was a snap in my election district. So I'm back earlier than I expected, and happy to see a joke called "The Balloonist" about Republicans and Democrats, which is making the email rounds. It's being attributed to Garrison Keillor....

thanks Jason! It's a good way to follow along in chronological order, and with it all in one place you can spot trends and relationships between stories and themes you might not have otherwise noticed
Eric- I'll second the note of thanks, with a special appreciation for a pic of Badnarik that is standard fare rather than one of him blowing his nose or the like. The Nader image is his own, so nobody could get too riled about it, but it looks like a Gary Numan album cover to me.
we strive to be ecumenical!
Great set of info re the US election. The Australian elections are on soon too - I still think it's more a plague on both their houses type of thing in both countries!
thanks gg2, I am certain Australians are doing a much better job of following our elections than we are of yours
Eric:
I just added a link to this page onto my site, like you requested. EVERYONE SHOULD DO THIS!
Thanks, and that would be great. Certainly everyone who has written posts linked from this master post would benefit greatly from as much traffic going to it as possible.
Who are we to believe on the conditions in Iraq? A man who is risking his life every minute of the day who lives there (Allawi) and is the Prime Minister, or a man running for president that would benefit by worsening conditions(JFK)?
everyone has an angle, including Allawi, but that is not an unresonable question
Have any of you guys seen the new Bushisms DVD? I just bought it from www.bushism.net. It looks pretty funny. Al Franken and Brian Unger are it. Any comments?
thanks Helmut, I'll add it to the Amazon list above
I just linked to this page again in another post to my site. EVERYONE SHOULD DO THIS!
thanks RJ, I agree
and by everyone, we mean everyone who owns a computer
it is most definately a good source, thanks for the compilation Eric!
This is, in fact, a wonderful source for issues, personalities and the important things we need to consider at this time. It has been wonderfully put together and should serve as a model for the future.
Claire
thanks Claire, much appreciated!
You suck
