Ok creative people, care to help me stick it to McCain?

Submitted by persondem on Sat, 06/14/2008 - 3:21pm.

So who is feeling creative? I would ike to have signs printed sometime in the coming couple of months that would hopefully enhance McCain's negatives. They wouild be stark, like newsprint, black and white. The wording would need to be brief and easily understandable like:

"Make it a 100 years [in Iraq]."
John McCain

Why we must Unite - the real danger

Submitted by wade norris on Sun, 06/08/2008 - 2:20pm.

Now that we have a nominee in Barack Obama, it would seem that nothing can stop him from sweeping into the Oval office this fall. Curiously, however, some people seemed to be concerned that Obama can't win because he can't get white voters or can't keep the dissapointed Clinton supporters in his camp.
While some stories like this NPR story are fairly benign,
there are other stories documenting the growing number of Clinton for McCain supporters
and even a website boasting of 15,000 supporters and threatening the following

It is our mission to raise money, promote John McCain. We will set up a "527" to raise money, run TV and radio ads against Obama. The Democrat party has left us out in the cold, so we are going to build a fire that they cannot put out

.

Really? how did the "democrat" party leave anyone out in the cold? More on these McCan'ts...

We need to get back to the politics of ideas and get away from the politics of personalities.

For Your Election Results Fix...

Submitted by boilergirl on Mon, 05/05/2008 - 7:30pm.

I can't wait until 7:30 pm on May 6th when the polls close and the votes start coming in... the anticipation is seriously about to kill me.

The NC Board of Elections has an awesome web page dedicated to reporting election results from across the state in this historical primary. It includes a summary of every race statewide and by county. Plus it has voter turn out numbers, and a map of the state to see results by county. There is even a tab where you can download CSV and XLS reports, and filter by CD, county or vote type.

TrueMeckDem on Myers Park Pat

"My opinion of Pat has changed over the years. I used to think he was truly a man of the people but the longer he has been mayor, the less I think of him.

As with most cities, Charlotte has three political parties: Dem, Rep, and Chamber of Commerce. Pat is definitely the puppet of the COC here. What is good for business is good for Charlotte and Pat ... very personable guy, he has gotten a bunch of Dems in these parts to vote for him but I don't trust him."
