  • Detroit, Barack City

    user posted image

    Wow. I just got back from the Joe Louis Arena in Downtown Detroit, where a rally in front of 22,000+ took place, and where our last Democratically elected President, Al Gore, endorsed Barack Obama.

    It was awesome. And I've got pictures! Enjoy!

  • Returning The Kitchen Sink

    So we learned yesterday that going negative works in certain states.

    Over the past 2 weeks, the Clinton campaign went extremely negative on Barack Obama, almost completely abandoning reasons why people should vote for Hillary Clinton, but rather going after the "Anti-Obama" vote.

    Well, I think it's time [...]
