The intro paragraph  -- quoted below and bolded by me -- is one of the most accurate descriptions of the real \"language\" of the McCain-Palin campaign that I have seen.<br><br><i><b>The reason why the McCain-Palin campaign has appeared erratic throughout the election season is that their strategic communications have been conceived and crafted according to the language of implicit cultural code rather than explicit thematic cohesion. On the surface, their messages appear scattershot, misaligned, contradictory and confusing; but that's because these messages are designed to appeal not to crisp logical consistency, but rather to murky socio-cultural undercurrents and subterranean sentiments which have fueled, informed, and warped white identity politics since the birth of this nation.<br><br>What's extraordinary is that this time around \u2014 at this particular crossroads, against this particular candidate \u2014 it's not working.</b><br><br>The beauty of US history is that years, decades, centuries of persistent popular struggle have resulted in dramatic social, political, and cultural changes in the continuing quest for greater common good. The ugliness of US history is that at every step, reactionaries have undertaken \u2014 and many others have tolerated \u2014 all manner of inner and outer violence in a greed- and fear-based desire to impose and maintain exclusionary power schemes. I view the 2008 presidential election as some sort of forward step along this trajectory. I hesitate to either overstate or understate the historical significance of what we're witnessing.

The intro paragraph  -- quoted below and bolded by me -- is one of the most accurate descriptions of the real "language" of the McCain-Palin campaign that I have seen.<br><br><i><b>The reason why the McCain-Palin campaign has appeared erratic throughout the election season is that their strategic communications have been conceived and crafted according to the language of implicit cultural code rather than explicit thematic cohesion. On the surface, their messages appear scattershot, misaligned, contradictory and confusing; but that\'s because these messages are designed to appeal not to crisp logical consistency, but rather to murky socio-cultural undercurrents and subterranean sentiments which have fueled, informed, and warped white identity politics since the birth of this nation.<br><br>What\'s extraordinary is that this time around — at this particular crossroads, against this particular candidate — it\'s not working.</b><br><br>The beauty of US history is that years, decades, centuries of persistent popular struggle have resulted in dramatic social, political, and cultural changes in the continuing quest for greater common good. The ugliness of US history is that at every step, reactionaries have undertaken — and many others have tolerated — all manner of inner and outer violence in a greed- and fear-based desire to impose and maintain exclusionary power schemes. I view the 2008 presidential election as some sort of forward step along this trajectory. I hesitate to either overstate or understate the historical significance of what we\'re witnessing. We\'re way too close to the moment\'s clamor to know just what it means in a larger scope.<br><br>Not that this is about to stop me from sounding off now.</i> <br><br>Read the rest here: <br><br><a href="http://www.kaichang.net/2008/11/the-palin-identity.html" rel="nofollow">The Palin’ Identity</a></div>\

I live in a red, RED, RED, district where I can look out my bedroom window and be treated to the sight of a Confederate flag, and the line is out the door and around the corner.  This district has NO CHANCE of ever being close for Obama but these people are determined to keep him out.  So lets get everyone out to the polls.  It\'s raining here in VA -- don\'t worry about messing up your hair on account of standing in the rain because if McCain-Palin get in there you won\'t have any money to get your hair done, that is if you have any hair on your head at all from Bush deregulating everything.</div>\

The election predictor that really matters is in and it points to victory for Barack Obama.<br><br>The only thing Washington cares about as much as its politics is its football team, the Washington Redskins, and so it should come as no surprise that the fortunes of the capital’s gridiron greats closely track those of its political stars.<br><br>In 16 of the 17 presidential elections since the Redskins moved to Washington in 1937, the incumbent party has kept the White House if the team won its last home game before the election while the out-of-power party has taken over if the Redskins lost. (The only exception came four years ago, when the Redskins lost to the Green Bay Packers but President Bush won reelection.)<br><br><br>So how did the Redskins do in its Monday Night Football appearance at FedEx Field here in Landover on Election Eve this year? Crushed, ignominiously, 23-6. And in another bad omen for John McCain, the authors of the team’s undoing were the Pittsburgh Steelers, a team from the battleground state of Pennsylvania, where Mr. McCain has placed so much of his hope for victory in these waning days.<br><br>The Redskins, at least, still have playoff hopes with a 6-3 record.</div>\

So he said well I don\'t have your name so you have to fill out a provisional ballot and I said no I\'m filling out a real ballot so you figure it out.  We stare at each other because we are at an obvious impasse.  So other people come over to see what the problem is and the guy says I\'m not on the list.  Then he looks again and ta-dah, I was there.  He said the list wasn\'t in alphabetical order (it was).  Anyway, I voted and the old guy manning the table was rotated out of his position.</div>\

	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-3488663" class="dsq-comment-message">This morning, there was a caller to The Lionel Show who talked about his voting experience this morning, but he mostly called to tell a story about his appreciation for the Air America network.  The caller  mentioned that he had been a listener since the network signed on for the first time in March 2004, enjoying various shows, and remembering their election night coverage that November.  <br><br>He specifically remembered the optimism that one of the hosts (still with Air America) had that night, and how that optimism gradually devolved into sadness and frustration.   Later election returns came in for the state of Ohio, which we now know was stolen from John Kerry.  And the particular host the caller referred to knew it.  Paraphrasing: "I know first hand of her disappointment watching them steal Ohio, she\'s my daughter and she wouldn\'t let it go for a long time."<br><br>The caller was Rachel Maddow\'s dad.  If we were still wondering what had been eating at her the last few days and causing her optimism for today to be decidedly measured, perhaps we know now.</div>\
