What do you think? I think the dude has too much money to spend in the next few weeks, lol.
Strategy: Scare the College Kids.
Election officials and watchdog groups are bracing for the wave of sneaky or suspicious phone calls, leaflets and emails that typically hit battleground states in the final 30 days of the presidential campaign.
Young voters at Drexel University in Philadelphia, Penn. have already been targeted, with students reporting that flyers have been posted around campus warning that undercover police will be at the polls on Election Day looking to make arrests.
The flyer reads like a friendly letter to fellow students relaying a warning from an "Obama supporter": "He informed me that on the day of the election there will be undercover officers to execute warrants on those who come to vote based on the anticipated turnout," writes the anonymous student in the letter which was later posted on the Drexel College Democrats website. "He advised me if I had any outstanding warrants or traffic offenses I should clear them up prior to voting." [thanks abcnews.com]

Buppie Blog Roundup - 10/11/08
I'm about to take off today so I won't be back until tomorrow, but in my absence, here are a few blog posts I had to share this week. Enjoy and *smooches.*
Shabooty finds the most moronic mob of McCain/Palin supporters I've seen (since yesterday). Must see.
Raw Dawg Buffalo writes a humorous interpretation of the first 10 weeks following November 4th.
Stuff White People Do pinpoints the different euphemisms that have been used by the McCain/Palin ticket for identifying their base - white people...great posts bloggers.
What are some of your favs from this week?
Governor Palin Abused Authority - Ethics Violation?
So, I'm a little confused by this recent report from the state of Alaska. Here's what I've read:
"A long-awaited Alaska legislative report concluded that Republican Sen. John McCain's vice-presidential running mate, Gov. Sarah Palin, abused her authority and broke state ethics law by trying to remove her former brother-in-law from his job as a state trooper.
But the report also concluded that the Republican governor did not unlawfully fire her public-safety commissioner, Walt Monegan, who said he had been pressured to oust the trooper, Mike Wooten. The report said other factors were involved in Mr. Monegan's controversial dismissal."
Is it just me or do those two statements sound contradictory? I guess unethical does not equal illegal. [Blackstar, I need your legal expertise here - what are the repercussions here?] Oh and to add to my confusion, the McCain campaign released the following statement:
"...the investigation "vindicated the governor by finding that she acted within her constitutional authority to remove 'at-will' employees," referring to her commissioner. He added that the findings of ethics-law violations "required speculation and assumptions" that "could not be supported solely on the basis of the evidence."
The McCain campaign went on to say that this case against Palin was an inquiry led by Obama supporters based on little merit. Sounds like this 1300 page report has quite a bit of merit to me. While their campaign continues to question the character and judgment of the Obama campaign, they just continue to crash and burn.
However, what's the real story here? I'm NOT about to read this long ass report, give me the short and sweet version. And how do you think the McCain campaign and the media will spin this one?

LOVE this Video!!! Must See!
This video is a little lengthy for the ADD generation (about 15 minutes) but SO worth watching. It's an inside look into the Obama campaign - particularly on the days leading up to and through the DNC. I almost cried (okay I did at a couple parts).
My co-worker said that she wants to be both his wife and children at the same time. I thought that was hilarious it at first until I watched it. Now I completely understand where she's coming from.
His family is so blessed - and they deserve everything they have, because they've worked hard for it. Obama 2008!!!
Response from Oliver Clark
Remember the black guy from the town hall debate who asked a pointed question about the $700 BILLION dollar government bailout? Well, if you do, you'll also remember McCain's condescending response - stating that he'd probably never heard of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac prior to current events.
Turn's out the gentleman's name is Oliver Clark, and he's posted his reaction on his facebook page. Check it:
Well Senator, I actually did. I like to think of myself as a fairly intelligent person. I have a bachelor degree in Political Science from Tennessee State, so I try to keep myself up to date with current affairs. I have a Master degree in Legal Studies from Southern Illinois University, a few years in law school, and I am currently pursuing a Master in Public Administration from the University of Memphis. In defense of the Senator from Arizona I would say he is an older guy, and may have made an underestimation of my age. Honest mistake. However, it could be because I am a young African-American male. Whatever the case may be it was somewhat condescending regardless of my age to make an assumption regarding whether I was knowledgeable about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Ouch! Loved it!
