You can run, but you can’t hide *UPDATED*
Bookworm on Oct 11 2008 at 5:29 pm | Filed under: Barack Obama
In a video world, you can run but you can’t hide from your record. Here’s Obama promising to let ACORN and other Ailinsky style community organizers help shape his agenda:
Increasingly, as the election draws near, the problem isn’t Obama’s record, which is leaking out like oil from a bad engine, but making people care about that record. Next week, I’ll have at American Thinker (or here) an article about that problem.
Hat tip: Ace of Spades
UPDATE: Kim Priestap has more on the subject of ACORN, including a quotation from a retired Pennsylvania judge who fears that ACORN has irrevocably corrupted the system.
Incidentally, everyone talks about ACORN creating fraudulent registrations, but no one talks about the fact that they are all Democratic registrations. As someone said in a comment, that’s got to affect all the polling, because the polls are weighted in favor of Democrats now to reflect all these so-called registered Democrats. If these people don’t show up on election day (since even the most fervent fraudsters will have a hard time showing up in 72 places on one day), well, it may be a reprise of “Dewey beats Truman.”

Here’s a good spot of info (news?) on Iowa.

McCain Campaigns In Iowa– Internals Show a Tight Race
John McCain was campaigning in Davenport, Iowa this morning.
Iowa? Real Clear Politics has John McCain down by an average of 11.8 polling points to Obama. However, via FOX News, the McCain campaign says the numbers are much lower – in the low single digits.
Once again – It is good advice to be wary of the liberal polls.

Where there’s life, there’s hope!
And then Oz can wonder for the next four years about the election tampering that got Obama beaten!
Well, that’s ok…my MIL used to worry if there was nothing to worry about that she must have missed something she should be worrying about. Oz _needs_ to worry about conspiracy. I sure hope she gets the chance!

Oh, Book, make it count!
I’ll cool down soon, I promise. But the thing that has me going is that there’s no passion for conservatism out there. Go for it, Book!!
I’m upset with George Will, Peggy Noonan, Charles Krauthammer, and, most specifically right now, David Brooks.
When is the last time you heard any of these four offer a passionate defense of conservatism? Seriously: think back. I mean passionate, something that might make your average American sit up and take notice?
No, they’re all too busy with their oh-so refined and milquetoast verbage. Fancy words, spoken in a near monotone. Their cocktail crowd in Washington D.C. must nod so approvingly. Oh, how very urbane!
And David Brooks has the unmitigated gall to say this: that Sarah Palin is a “fatal cancer to the Republican party”. How dare that pipsqueak say such a thing!?!? He’s welcome to say it, of course, but he’s not welcome anywhere I am, not any longer.
Sarah Palin does need to start studying on a wide range of subjects. It does appear. But she has a solid, unmoveable core of conservative principles that, frankly, David Brooks appears to have urinated away some years ago with some glass of wine at some cocktail party. In what universe does a woman of sound conservative principles deserve to be called a “cancer” by a fellow conservative!?!?
She’s got the passion. They hate the passion. I am beginning to hate them. They are so thoroughly unreliable. I ask again: When is the last time you saw any of those four make a passionate defense/apologia of conservative principles? I grind my teeth.
Sarah Palin, who has the spine and the understanding, and the rhetoric and the passion, is worth a hundred of those who have lost their spine and their nerve. How dare David Brooks call her a “cancer”? How dare he! He needs to take a good hard look at himself in the mirror. “When is the last time I was passionate in defense of conservatism?” And then he should weep.
No, they’re all too busy with their oh-so refined and milquetoast verbage. Fancy words, spoken in a near monotone. Their cocktail crowd in Washington D.C. must nod so approvingly. Oh, how very urbane!
That’s why I said that my ideal VP pick is one that stacks the bodies of our enemies up to the sky like cord wood.
If these people don’t show up on election day (since even the most fervent fraudsters will have a hard time showing up in 72 places on one day), well, it may be a reprise of “Dewey beats Truman.”
They don’t have to show up at 72 places in one day. That’s what absentee ballots and early voting are for.
Completely totally off topic, but it’s Sunday, and with things still looking so bleak, everybody can use a laugh…so enjoy.

SueK,
Thanks for the “why moms drink” link!

Efraim Karsh has a great scholarly essay on 1948, Israel, and the Palestinians:
