Things I don’t understand

Why does it take an economic catastrophe to get people to vote Democratic?

According to Gallup:

Concern about the economy seems to be playing to Obama’s advantage; he overtook McCain when the financial crisis worsened in the middle of September, and his strong showing today coincides with the worst rating of the economy this year (59% of Americans describe current economic conditions as “poor”)

Does whatever was the matter with Kansas from 1964 til now cease to be matter when the stock market dips?

Please explain

Enough Already

I keep on expecting at some point the McCain campaign to just fold up shop. It makes a certain amount of sense: It’s a Democratic year,  Obama is a pathbreaking candidate, one who shows how far the country has come, better to leave with some semblance of integrity, rather  than mudwrestle for a losing cause, etc., etc.,,

Then I see shit like this, and I realize how off I am

One of the best debate moments I’ve ever seen
