Is there any reason why I should care about this Wes Clark dust up that is all over everywhere right now? So far I haven’t really seen anything that makes me want to care or think it is in any way relevant to anything. Am I missing something?

Another Seymour Hersh piece. They are always somewhat controversial, and many people always dispute the facts. Personally, I don’t have any idea how much of his pieces are really true, what is exaggeration, what is someone feeding Hersh what they want him to say to push one agenda or another, etc… But regardless, these articles are always very interesting. And if even 10% of it is true… shudder. Well… 204 days, 16 hours left to go. Regardless who wins in November, they can’t be worse than this bunch. Preparing the Battlefield
It is long, but worth reading in full. Sam and Ivan talk about:
I’ve made the timelapse “previous day” video on the AbulCam larger than it used to be. I also upped the compression and moved the actual timelapse files off my iMac and up to the server, so actual download times should be less. Now, it still takes multiple minutes (it took me just under 5 minutes when I just tried) for the timelapse to fully download and start playing, but that is actually better than it sometimes used to be. Anyway, improved timelapse. That is all.
Still just good news for Obama and bad news for McCain. This time around Minnesota moves from “Weak Obama” to “Strong Obama” while Kansas moves from “Strong McCain” to “Weak McCain”. This may tempt Obama to try to make McCain defend Kansas. And it means McCain shouldn’t even bother with Minnesota. The summary doesn’t change though, as none of this effects the inventory of swing states. Current Summary: McCain Best Case – McCain 303, Obama 235 If everybody gets their leans (and Obama gets DC) – Obama 293, McCain 245 7 Famous Executioners

Obama’s bounce continues as Michigan moves from Leaning McCain to Leaning Obama. Obama’s lead is less than 5% of course, so it is still a swing state. Current Summary: McCain Best Case – McCain 303, Obama 235 If everybody gets their leans (and Obama gets DC) – Obama 293, McCain 245 That “if everybody gets their leans” set of numbers is getting more unbalanced. Obama now leads in that metric by more than he ever has since March 8th when we first had polling in all 50 states. His lead is however still not as big as the lead McCain had in that metric in mid-May, and that evaporated after only a couple of weeks. The polls are very fickle things. OK, I was all excited about Firefox 3 when it first came out. I’ve been using it for a bit. There are a bunch of features that I really like. But I am getting frustrated by a handful of things Safari does better. And I am feeling like it is slower. Dunno. I’m wavering. I may try going back for a bit and see if I then miss Firefox… |
