Oh, that was it, eh? Sandy Newman, founder of ACORN's voter registration affiliate, Project Vote, didn't tap Obama to run Project Vote in Illinois? Project Vote only sought to have the motor voter law implemented?

Come on, quit wasting our time and just link us to the DNC talking points, already.

One of Barack Obama's successes was to get at the grassroots of the country and engage people to get out to vote. Good on him!
Obama was successful at this? How so exactly? Using felons to register a single person 21 times in Miami or to register the Dallas Cowboys starting lineup in Nevada or registering untold numbers of dead, underage, imprisoned, imaginary, or otherwise ineligible voters in swing states?

Quite a success...

You do realize that polling numbers have absolutely nothing to do with voter registration, right?

Yes, I do. I'm talking about the success of Obama's grassroots efforts....including getting people to actually vote.

Again, what grassroots efforts?

Will you answer that question?

Your comment kinda, you know, rests on this point.

Why don't you people post actual arguments?

Sometimes it's just better to laugh.

You're so much like Obama...duck, dodge, dissemble, lie. No wonder he's so appealing to you.

Actually, Obama's appeal has not so much to do with his being a good candidate, and more to do with people like you, who prefer personal attacks over substantive debate. If not for people like you, McCain would have had a decent chance at winning this year. You are the albatross around McCain's neck.

Hey, I presented substance in my initial post.

Ironic that no one has dealt with it, yet.

Meanwhile, I properly called out missy's behavior. I'm not sorry if that offends you.

And speaking about personal attacks...attacking McCain's age, attacking Palin's son Trig and daughter, attacking McCain's fidelity to Cindy, ... yeah, no personal attacks from you clowns.

You do realize you quoted a conservative right?
