It’s been said about Biden. It’s part of the basic right-wing playbook."</i> I completely agree. As I've said before, Joe Lieberman could have been the Dem nominee and McCain would be calling him a socialist, "defeatocrat" who would lead to Israel's destruction. I would also tend to agree that Obama has run as a centrist without really touting a lot of really progressive ideas, if any. “It’s the exact, exact, same thing said about Kerry.

He clearly outspent McCain. That usually makes you a winner in most American elections. It was a gutsy move not to make public financing. ON the other hand, 150 million really? There's a chance that that money could be coming from illegal sources. Too late to do anything about that though. Cry me a river. After the election, though, we'll be back to Law and Order, especially for a black guy. That will be fun. 2. He actually has run as GOP lite. There's nothing radically progressive that he's supported as far as I can see. Then again, maybe that's a winner. Hasn't hurt his poll numbers. 3. I hope that he fights for recounts if he needs them. Don't pull a Kerry and take a dive. Fight fight and fight. That's what McCain probably plans to do post election with all those imaginary never were ACORN fraudsters. Don't take a dive. Fight for my vote, please. (I voted early already and I voted for "that one".) Philip Shropshire www.threeriversonline.com PS: One thing we learned from the election integrity movement and Jeffrey Toobin's supreme court book: he had the votes to win and Sandra Day O conner would have flipped her 2000 vote. He would have won 5 to 4. But he had to fight. I hope Obama fights for my vote. Boy I wish it was that simple.
