I still don't see how mentioning Obama's middle name, as that sticker does, adds anything to the discussion. As soon as I see or hear that, it discredits whatever other point is being made.

I didn't even notice it. I just looked for it based on the counter.

My middle name is Robert.

When I run for President in a few decades I hope the Republicans don't make a big deal about it being the same name as the ringleader of the military branch of a famous secessionist/domestic terrorist group.

I called him that to serve a point...that point that his quote on using it was going to be a good thing. That's my issue with it...and many other stupid things he usually has to retract after people smarter than him tell him to do so.

You think you've got it bad, mine's Luther. You seen some of the things Martin Luther wrote about the Jews? I can kiss Florida goodbye.

A Hayes Research poll just came out giving McCain just a 3 point lead in Alaska. Definitely an outlier, but funny to look at none the less.

EDIT: by the way, the supposed Pennsylvania tightening? It tightened to a 6 or 7 point Obama lead. Moderate Republicans came home to roost for McCain and he gained independents. It's still bluer than the nation by 3 or 4%.

Obama will not win Pennsylvania by 6 points. Put it on the board.
