From popmodal.com: "L.A. Times under siege!" Citizens Demand Release of Obama Video <-- click here LIVE INTERVIEWS Runtime: 1m:51sFrom: JeffersDodge

Freepers - this was the most fun I've had with my clothes on in as long as I can remember. Big Shout out to RonDog -what a guy! Maybe he'll help with the next trick. Please ask him. One of the best parts was when the LA Times security guard came out and said, "It's cool. I'm voting McCain..." Vid is available several places. Jewishjournal.com is one. popmodal.com is working on theirs. Should be ready around 10PM PDT. There were LA Times employees in the windows giving us thumbs up! The best part is that we're doing this again Fri...

Over 100 Pumas are there already. . . . . . Today we are demanding that the LA Times release the videotape of Barack Obama at a Chicago dinner for Rashid Khalidi. Khalidi is a prominent pro-Palestine scholar and professor at Columbia University who has written extensively about Palestinian issues. Unsurprisingly, he is not popular in many pro-Israeli circles. This is irrelevant to our effort. Rashid Khalidi is not the point. What is at issue here is what Barack Obama said at the dinner, and more importantly, what on earth is a supposedly free press organization like the L.A. Times...

NOTE: The below comes from one of the smartest two blogs out there for insight on polls (the other being Wizbang). Things have been unraveling for Obama since early voting began — just like in the primaries, Obama’s alleged advantage amongst his “youth army”, blacks, and yuppies is not turning up in the early vote “tidal wave” he was supposed to have. Obama spent TENS OF MILLIONS of dollars trying to drive early votes to him, but it’s not happening. Practically every Democrat we know has early voted — and all of them have voted for John McCain and Sarah...

The L.A. Chapter has been asked to helpFReep the L.A. Timesdemanding that they release the video tape of Obama and Khalidi.So, we need YOUR ideas for protest signs - asap.What do YOU think?Please post your SIGN IDEAS here!

Tina Brown is a New Labour/Democrat limousine liberal but, unlike the Obots running the snore-sheet monodailies, she's an editor first. And so, after the Buckley endorsement of Obama, she now presents Wendy Button, an Obama-Edwards-Clinton speechwriter who's voting for McCain: Not only has this party belittled working people in this campaign from Joe the Plumber to the bitter comments, it has also been part of tearing down two female candidates. At first, certain Democrats and the press called Senator Clinton “dishonest.” They went after her cleavage. They said her experience as First Lady consisted of having tea parties. There was...

Imagine if a speechwriter for John McCain had switched sides and announced she was going to vote for Barack Obama. Would she not be featured bigtime in the mainstream media complete with new thrills running up Chris Matthews leg? Well, this did happen except that it was an Obama speechwriter, Wendy Button, who became disillusioned with The One and switched supporting McCain. Here are the highlights of Wendy Button's explanation of why she made the switch: Since I started writing speeches more than ten years ago, I have always believed in the Democratic Party. Not anymore. Not after the election...

Republicans, this is directed at you. Hillary’s Army remains strong, and committed to putting McCain/Palin in the White House. Do not listen to the media. Ignore the trolls. Corral your Eeyores and put them on the endangered species list. Because by our most conservative estimate, you’re going to get 4 million Hillocrats on your side next week, with roughly another 3 million Democrats who voted for Kerry staying home or throwing their votes to McKinney or Nader. That’s 7 million votes Obama has lost from lifelong Democrats — because we love this country more than Republicans have ever given us...

A prominent supporter of Hillary Clinton is in New Hampshire today to rally the troops for Republican John McCain, as Clinton herself is in the Granite State to support Democrat Barack Obama. Lynn Forester de Rothschild -- a personal friend of Clinton, a major fundraiser, and a member of the Democratic National Convention's platform committee -- plans press conferences in Dover and Manchester, the McCain campaign announced. The events are counterprogramming against Clinton, who is now enthusiastically backing Obama and who also plans events in Dover and Manchester. New Hampshire is among the most competitive states on Nov. 4. De...

With less than a week towards election day I am preparing for both the best and worst outcome. Part of me wants to believe that all the hype viewed on CNN and college campuses across the country are just that, hype. With the amount of undecided voters left at this point in time it seems like the decision isn't quite as clear as Camp Obama would like it to be (especially considering the margin of error in all of the polls which are showing Obama leading anywhere between 5% pts. and 7 %pts.). I was in my Public Policy class...

Tonight we spoke with a friend from Hillary Clinton’s campaign who is now working for McCain/Palin — and is specifically working with Democrats for McCain in Pennsylvania. We worked with her in Texas, Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania for Hillary and have spent many LONG hours with her in the trenches in all of those states. She’s smart, doesn’t BS, and never lies. She says the same thing we do: John McCain will win Pennsylvania. On November 4th, the news networks are going to be spinning and sputtering and playing catchup, but everything we see on the ground in PA is...

Through Sunday, it appears absentee and early votes have Democrats up by 80,287 votes. Of the 1,010,046 people who voted early, 53.7 percent were Democrats, 30.19 percent Republicans and 16.02 percent other. Of the 1,059,518 absentee ballots returned so far, 35.31 percent were from Democrats, 50.23 percent Republicans, and 14.46 percent other. All told, 2,069,564 people have voted already -- 44.33 percent of them Democrats, 40.45 percent Republicans, and 15.22 percent other.

With accusations of voter registration fraud swirling as early voting begins in many states, some Hillary Clinton supporters are saying: “I told you so.” Already in Iowa, the Obama campaign was breaking the rules, busing in supporters from neighboring states to vote illegally in the first contest in the primaries and physically intimidating Hillary supporters, they say. Obama’s surprisingly strong win in Iowa, which defied all the polls, propelled his upstart candidacy to front-runner status. But Dr. Lynette Long, a Hillary supporter from Bethesda, Md, who has a long and respected academic career, believes Obama’s victory in Iowa and in...

Six Reasons Why McCain will win the Election 2008 Near universal agreement exists among pundits that Senator Barack Obama will defeat Senator John McCain for the presidential race of 2008. A variety of polls suggest that Obama will win by roughly six points. Trading polls online give John McCain less than a 15% of winning. Electoral projection hold Obama at near 250 solid votes. So why should anyone believe that John McCain is going to win the election. There are several reasons: 1. Operation Chaos and polling assumptions: Almost all polls providing a lead for Obama work upon a shared...

PUMA Power: One-Fourth of Democrat Party Used to Being Ignored by Maintream Media PUMAs are the One Group Who Has Already Gone Head-to-Head Against “The Obama Experience” * The Mainstream Media Bias * ACORN Voter Fraud * The Blog Shutdowns and Intimidation Tactics * The “Fix is In” Frustration PUMAs: Been There, Done That These days, the most energetic investigations, the loudest warnings and the people most experienced with unpleasant Obama campaign tactics come not from the Republican Party, but from a segment of the Democrat Party: the PUMAs. They represent a significant proportion of the Democratic Party–a portion the...

A federal judge in Philadelphia last night threw out a complaint by a Montgomery County lawyer who claimed that Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama was not qualified to be president and that his name should be removed from the Nov. 4 ballot.[snip] In a 34-page memorandum and opinion, the judge said Berg's allegations of harm were "too vague and too attenuated" to confer standing on him or any other voters. Surrick ruled that Berg's attempts to use certain laws to gain standing to pursue his claim that Obama was not a natural-born citizen were "frivolous and not worthy of discussion."...

By Christopher Cook I talk to them every day. To call them "disgruntled Hillary supporters" is to drastically underestimate who they are and what has happened to their thinking. To call them "disgruntled Hillary supporters" suggests that they're only upset at Hillary's loss in the primary, and that they'll be back after the anger settles.Wrong.Okay, that will undoubtedly be true of some of them—but not the ones I've been talking to. The ones with whom I (and a few fellow conservatives) have been speaking will NOT be back under the Democrats' tent any time soon, and possibly ever.You see, they...

During a discussion of just how dangerous for America is Barack Obama, someone asked: "I want to know where is Hillary. How come she hasn't derailed this runaway train." Funny they should ask; Hillary was also an admirer of Saul Alinsky methodology, as shown with her thesis uncovered nearly a decade ago and written about in Barbara K. Olson’s Hell To Pay. Hillary Clinton is campaigning for the little Marxist squirrel. What one ought to ask is, 'What has the Marxist Obama promised to Hillary so that she is helping him ascend to ultimate power?' One of the interesting little...
