Wow, when this is over, it's going to take a book to discuss all of the innovative ways the Obama Campaign has used web technology.

It's an interactive map of the U.S. using geo-positioning to map out all the robo-call smears that the McCain campaign is currently inflicting on the country.

Thought Processes of a Conservative Who Supports Obama

Oct
25

Ken Adelman explains why he's voting for Obama:

Granted, McCain's views are closer to mine than Obama's. But I've learned over this Bush era to value competence along with ideology. Otherwise, our ideology gets discredited, as it has so disastrously over the past eight years.

Too Pathetic Even for 'Famous Last Words'

Oct

McCain: "My friends, We've got them just where we want them'".

Crunch Time

Oct
21

Election Day is only two weeks away.

It's important to set aside some time from now until Nov. 4 and devote it to helping get our candidates elected both here in Illinois and around the country.

On the weekends there's carpooling and canvassing. On weekday nights, there's phone-banking and postcard-writing. Taking the day off and helping out on Monday (11/3) or election-day Tuesday (11/4) is also an extremely important way of making a contribution.

For the rest of us, it's 'you're on your own'.

Hats off to the Volunteers for Daniel Biss for State Rep (distr. 17). As I was walking to the Niles Township Meetup, there were Daniel Biss lawnsigns on both sides of the street. It really seemed like I was walking through Daniel Biss Country.
