On Nov. 4, Gary, Ind., could end up as ground zero of the political universe. Indiana was the firewall state in the 2008 Democratic primary season. Hillary Clinton won that battle, but lost the war.

Palin's words may come back to haunt her--and hurt McCain
By claiming that Democrat Barack Obama is "palling around with terrorists" and doesn't see the U.S. like other Americans, vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin targeted key goals for a faltering campaign. And though she may have scored a political hit each time, her attack was unsubstantiated and carried a racially tinged subtext that John McCain may come to regret.
"How low can McCain go? He's already lower than snake's belly.
McCain has been playing the race card through the whole campaign; so far it hasn't worked. HRC tried to play the race card, it didn't work for her either. Now that there is no doubt in anybody's mind that the US economy is in the toilet, teetering on the brink of a, gasp, DEPRESSION, most voters want to hear about solutions and not smears and lies.
Unfortunately for McCain (and the rest of us), McCain is running out of room to land his pathetic campaign that he has piloted without a flight plan. And, now he's running out of room to land it and fuel - quickly! I am predicting Mr. '894/899' will crash this one like he's crashed so many other expensive tax payer financed machines before. On the flight deck are all those rethugs running for Congress that are not smart enough to clear the deck. They will get burned. Fuck 'em!" --"Best comment ever!" by dBass 23 minutes ago on Digg.

GOP found purging thousands of eligible Democratic voters in 19 states
It is normal for states to periodically review lists of voters and remove any who have moved, died, or been convicted of felonies. However, with no national standards to control this process, it has become "chaotic," "riddled with inaccuracies," and "vulnerable to manipulation" for partisan purposes.
"So CBS News has noticed. Where the hell are the Democrats, and why aren't they raising holy hell about all of this stuff everywhere & seem to have no clue that they are in a War on Democracy being waged by their GOP opponents." "Best comment ever!" by Brad Friedman.
