AP: Obama keeps Dean on, bans lobbyist/PAC contributions.

This election has been interesting because it has changed my opinion on public financing.  I've been a big supporter of public financing for elections in order to keep corporate dollars from deciding elections, but Obama has provided an alternative: a campaign that gets so many contributions from individuals that it outweighs the big-money support his competitors have.

Now, this one example isn't enough to change the machinery of our political system, but it's a start.  If this really catches on, if Obama's grassroots power becomes the norm, that's going to bode well for the entire process.

Which reminds me of a puzzle story I read in The Atlantic a few nights ago, regarding Obama's vast fortune. I personally wish my.barackobama.com was smoother (my two donation groups have inexplicably disappeared), but it taps heavily into this interconnectivity boom all the same.

What a terribly boring man. And leeching off the goodwill of others is just pathetic.

I bet the Straight Talk Express is loaded with liquid cocaine, and quad breasted hookers. We missed out, guys.

My goal this election is not, at any point, to post a Lynn Minmay song.

That speech just made it about a thousand times harder.

It's nice to see a man who understands how success is truly and properly built for a change. I see that so seldom.

Quad breasted hookers whose breasts bulge with liquid cocaine instead of milk, you mean.

It begins.

Well, no.  It just continues.

Freakin' adorable. The Obama campaign should sell their own, higher quality version, in both monkey and donkey editions.

An interesting one on the white supremacist front: apparently some of them WANT Obama to win.  Their "reasoning" (for lack of a better term) goes that he will be so bad that everyone will realize the white supremacists were right all along.

They seem not to have been paying attention for the past seven and a half years.

Or, you know, the hundred and fifty prior to that.

 :wat:

That sounds like a clever trick.  Some influential people pretended to be white supremacists and convinced them that Obama's election would finally set off the Turner Diaries.

Little do they know, we don't give a fuck if whites aren't in control, because most people don't think like that!

Well, "the worse, the better" has been argued before.  Nader suggested at one point that if Bush were to be elected, it would galvanize the American public against the Republican Party.  And, not to say that it's worth the damage Bush has done to our country and to the world, but that certainly seems to be the case right now.

Of course, the reason Nader was right and the white supremacists are wrong is that they're making the same argument from opposite perspectives; he is suggesting that most people want civilization to move forward, whereas they are suggesting that most people actually want it to move backward and just don't realize it but will as soon as their reptile brains are stimulated by the horrifying image of a black man in the White House.

I sometimes wonder what it must be like to have a mind that works like that.  But I try not to think about it.  Whereas they simply try not to think about anything, at all, ever.

I suspect it just feels cool to be part of a gang of really tough guys who think they're right about everything.  If Hitler had hated muffins, they'd probably go around kicking the shit out of them.  The actual message has very little to do with the machismo.  Hate is just plain awesome.

It's nice to have a scapegoat. You don't ever have to actually, you know, confront the real causes of problems. Instead you can fight the Good Fight. Victory is as simple as a kill.

This kind of thinking extends far, far beyond just plain' ole white supremacists. It's as old as the hills.

Reaching out to evangelicals.

In a nutshell:

Quote
"For evangelicals, obviously this is an uphill battle. No one is proposing that we go and win a majority of them," McCurry said. But there are significant numbers of moderate Christians "and we need to reach them."

That said: I'm not a Christian but I'm pretty down with the whole "love thy neighbor" and "help the poor and oppressed" thing.  No, the 700 Club's not going to swing Democratic, but it's about damn time the left started trying to break up the right's self-proclaimed monopoly on Jesus.

James Dobson seems threatened by it.

Quote
"He's deliberately distorting the traditional understanding of the Bible to fit his own world view, his own confused theology," Dobson said.

Boy oh boy, Jimmy, project much?

But hey, he's telling his listeners not to vote for McCain either, so good for that.
