Is Palin a good debater? You betcha!

Lost in America as metaphor for Wall St meltdown

This is brilliant, but I won't post it here because it will be lifting the entire post from Boing Boing.

Go and watch and read.

I got this!

As Dr Mike has just alerted me, Possum's latest post (on the NEW BLOG) suggests that the post-GOP Convention polls were just that - the standard post-convention bounce. The polls seem to be settling back down.

I have a feeling the outrageous Republican attack ads of the last two weeks might just come back to bite them. They've been too ludicrous, too sleazy, too unbelievable to actually help the Republicans. And if Sarah Palin's first interview is anything to go by, she'll continue to show herself to be the political novice she is.

But ultimately, it's this image from Punditkitchen.com that's making me feel better and has reminded me of the actual situation. As Possum has said, it's still Obama's to lose.

Two reasons why America needs to not let us down

Jon Stewart on the differences between McCain and Bush.

And Think Progress notes the nasty tone taken towards 'Community Organisers' at the Republican Convention. Clever editing sure, but disturbing nonetheless.

McCain Palin. Do Not Want!

Possum gets serious

Possumcommitatus was THE indispensable Australian (statistical) politics blog last year. Looks like things are stepping up a notch. Hoorays!



Gosh there's been a lot of video posts here lately...

This piece of Genius from The Onion was brought to my attention by Peter of the now defunct Glutbusters.

I'm proud to say that on our recent trip to the States we shared a lunch table with the Onion's appropriately hip, young, spunky marketing manager. So, you know, I am essentially responsible for this (leave credit card details in the comments kthx).
