Virginia Trying to Suppress Student Votes


The Really: A new twist on voter suppression techniques?

Trying to keep track of the voter purges, suppression and casual attempts (flyers in Virginia using the old "Democrats vote on Nov. 5th" ruse) to hold down the vote are going to be coming in fast and furious. Some early voting places in Indiana are under attack by Republicans; Colorado was forced to reinstate thousands who had been purged on a technicality.

Students who used their dorm address as their residence have been booted from Virginia rolls. I will bet their thinking is also that cellphones are not "real" phones because they are NOT ATTACHED TO ANYTHING. And the internet is made out of tubes.

Ashley Todd: Poster Girl Of McCain Campaign Desperation


The Really: A McCain campaign worker in Pittsburgh made up a racially based robbery story when saying her mugger was an Obama supporter.

Now admits it isn't true.

Any of it.

Levels of desperation are seen all over the McCain campaign. Campaign heads are warring, workers are making up incredible stories (and getting arrested for it); all that seems to be left is voter supression. The Obama campaign and the DNC seem very, very ready to deal with Republican dirty tricks. You want to know why? Because people want a change.

McCain Spams Phones


The Really: People like to receive disembodied calls from machines talking about terrorists?

Perhaps in a campaign rife with hypocrisy, it is the ultimate hypocrisy that the McCain campaign is using the same robocall company that smeared McCain in election year 2000?
