That is all, he holds Obama to such a high standard vis-a-vis his "new kind of politics" that he can't even use a little sarcasm to get his political point out - it's too mean.

Seriously do these slate writers have anything better to do? Because they should try to find something.

Including John Dickerson.

Frankly, I think he'd earn his money more honestly if he sold drugs.

Well, he can't very well JUST take McCain to task for abandoning straight-talk and cutting off media access!

He needs to paint Obama as being equally bad, or they take away his media card.

By the way, about the electoral map looking similar? 538 has the chances of a repeat of the 2004 map at 0.01%, and a 2000 map repeat at 0.85%-- less likely, combined, than the chance of an Electoral College tie. The Dems have a good chance for pick ups in Colorado, Iowa, New Mexico and Ohio. The map right now looks a lot less like "places with water" versus "everyone else."

How is it that I got two positive comments and a -1 rating? :)?

I guess I should try for more civil discourse, but increasingly I just want to tell people (especially opinion writers and "journalists") to shut the F#$%# up. I should be employed to do this it can't be hard to be stupid weekly I know people who do it daily (although I'd probably miss my deadline every week).
