This was sent in by a reader: apparently, the Republicans couldn’t find very many African American supporters to show on the Big Screen Of Triumph, when introducing McCain (see 6:45, 7:02)… so they simply put up stock photos of black people. You know, riding bicycles and appreciating their moms and stuff. Both these images appeared in McCain’s introduction, but you can also buy them for a buck or two from iStockphoto.com :
They’re fickle people. For a few bucks, they’ll support your candidate too. Or your company newsletter.
I actually think this is great news for McCain. If he can win the “people from stock photos found on the internet” demographic, it could boost his candidacy significantly — especially in swing states. I hear Ohio, for example, is almost entirely populated by stock photos.
As an aside, this is after CBS News pointed out that the solemn pictures of a military funeral that accompanied their ...

Water Reed is where all the seriously wounded troops are sent for repair, So since about 92-93 I started going to a warehouse and getting Levi/Lee jeans and Beffy T shirts and taking them over and giving them to them. I was buying them out of my pocket because it was where I was born and the Hosp had saved my dads’ life more than once.
I used my dads parking pass (retired 07) and parked in their reserved circle, then went right into the front door up to the wards.

2 voted but there was no campaign: MI and FL
5 haven’t voted yet: TX, OH, PA, IN, and NC
5 have voted for Obama: IL, WA, MO, VA, and GA
and 5 have voted for Clinton: CA, NY, NJ, MA, and TN
The whole “Big State” thing is a myth.
Yeah, there’s some stupid spin floating around (from all sides) this cycle, but this is probably the dumbest. And it’s compounded by people wh... more
Yesterday, I noted an AP story on the recent contempt of Congress vote that, well… had a few problems.
In the least troubling of the errors, the reporter — Laurie Kellman — misidentified Rep. Jon Porter (R-NV) as a Democrat.
OK, not such an awful mistake. At least, not by itself. And the AP’s Director of Media Relations, Paul Colford, e-mailed to point out that the AP had in fact already put out a corrected version of the article.
But Kellman didn’t... more

Tonight’s schedule, with pledged delegates in parenthesis):
Vermont (15), 7 p.m. ET
Ohio (141), 7:30 p.m. ET
Rhode Island (21) 9 p.m. ET
Texas (193) 9 p.m. ET, but El Paso is in a different time zone, so closes an hour later. And, to make things extra complicated, the caucuses begin after the polls close.
Vermont will get called quickly for Obama. The rest should take a while to report winners. And Texas, sheesh, that one will be conf... more
The Obama campaign may be planning ahead (something the Clinton campaign never thought of, apparently), but it’s clear that they’re also paving the way for a serious push to knock Clinton out of the race this week.
First off is the developing CW , from the very astute Charlie Cook:
NBC political analyst Charlie Cook writes in his CongressDaily column, “[W]inning by slight percentages in Texas and Ohio aren’t real wins for Clinton. A ‘win’ would... more
