I heard about that. Using dead people to vote. How sad. Obama just might be our first black president, and our first president to go to jail. Woohoo!!!

It wouldn't shock me. I would be relieved. Biden may be your traditional crook, but I am not aware of any terrorist connections with him.
At some point, the Republican party is going to have to reinvent itself out of its current brand, consisting of little more than anti-intellectualism and easily disproven smears that it currently relies on.
The brand that you used to associate it with (small government/less deregulation/belicose militarism) is dead.
While the economy is collapsing, you are requesting the American people ignore all of that in order to focus on Obama's association with William Ayers - at a time that Ayers was so far beyond his past he was chosen to head a commission by a Republican who was a close friend of Ronald Reagan - despite supporting a Vice Presidential candidate with associations to a political party whose founder died in a "plastic explosives deal gone bad". This founder famously proclaimed, "I've got no use for America or her damned institutions." The association here is not that they worked together on a bipartisan board to improve education. No, the Vice Presidentail candidate attended their conventions, her husband was a member for years, and she gave a videotaped introduction the convention as governor.
Yet we are supposed to be upset that Obama sat on a bipartisan, Republican-sponsored board on education reform with Bill Ayers, decades after his crimes.
Meanwhile, the global economic panic is worsening, and McCain's flailing response has been all over the map.
First he chose the George Bush route, insisting on a bold-faced lie; "The fundamentals of our economy our strong". As that rather obvious falsehood fell flat, he went on to call for the firing of an entirely inconsequential figure (the chairmen of the SEC) that the president doesn't even have the capacity to fire. That didn't work, so then McCain told us the solution was a "9/11 style commission" to study the problem.
Again, for obvious reasons, that fell flat, and McCain has decided to abandon that idea. So then he "suspended his campaign" - 11 days after the start of the real financial crisis. The suspension didn't actually entail anything - campaign ads were run, fundraisers were held, speeches were given - and it ended a couple days after it "started", and the intended purpose, to rally Republican congressman around the bailout package, still largely failed.
Then McCain decided to announce a new bailout package at the debate that by initial wording was already included in the previously passed bailout. When pressed for further details the next day, it turns out McCain wants taxpayers to be held responsible for paying peak value on the absolute worst of home loans, essentially clearing banks and lending institutions from any responsibility.
Not surprisingly, that didn't get any traction.
So now we're back to focus on Obama's work with Bill Ayers, on a Republican created commission with bipartisan support. All while his Vice President is married to a guy who belonged to a political party founded on a hatred of America so strong, they wanted Alaska to secede from the nation.
The Dow Jones has lost a decade of growth in the past two weeks. This isn't 2000, where you're campaigning on surpluses and global stability. Things matter now.
So all that said, is this really how you want to win an election for the most powerful country in the world (for now?)
I really hope, for the sake of this country, that Obama wins in a landslide, and the conservative movement is forced to reaquaint itself with ideas and intellect. Because there are a lot of democrats I really don't like, and a lot of conservative writers I really admire. But the candidates they offer for national office are a joke. And today it's no longer a laughing matter.
Enough said. Wasn't a couple of his "pals" Rezco and Ayers?
Well, he's excluded of course.
