A Cry for Help

There’s lots of endorsements flying around out there. Some are surprising, some not so much. Very much in the latter category, here’s the editorial position of this group blog: John Kerry for President.
I do want to add, though, that I’m not in the camp of those who don’t like Kerry but really don’t like Bush. [...]

My entire world is in a cloud of disbelief. After all this waiting, the Sox are in the World Series? After over a year’s worth of closely following the presidential election, there’s only seven days til we know who wins (I hope. Please.) Since I did it for the playoffs, I figure I should make [...]

Once again, if you expected me to miss the Sox-Yanks game last night to give my undivided attention to Bush and Kerry, well then you don’t know me very well. That said, I did flip back and forth, and caught a lot of the debate. I guess it’s good that neither New York nor the [...]

Uh, sorry, I missed this debate. Too busy jumping around and celebrating David Ortiz’s BOMB with some Union Station Brews. Mmmm.
I actually tried to tape it, but I screwed up setting the VCR. MSNBC says Bush won, which I think makes it a tie. I’m seeing lots of stuff about Bush yelling. I’m interested in [...]

Some people will vote for their party, no matter who the candidate is. Some people vote for who they agree with on the issues. Some people vote against the person they like least. Some people vote for the candidate with better hair.
If you’re still undecided, here’s a couple ways you can figure out who to [...]

You may have heard (and certainly will hear) that it’s good that all those terrorists are killing people in Iraq because that means they aren’t killing American children (and puppies!) in suburban elementary schools. It’s known as the flypaper theory. We attract terrorists to Iraq and we pick them off. If you share the Bush [...]

You had to know this was coming: You forgot Poland!
Now, there’s some question as to who, indeed, forgot Poland…

Reading around the net today, John Edwards did better than I thought. And apparently MSNBC, which I generally watch more than the other news channels, was alone in strongly declaring Cheney the runaway winner.
Last night, Em and I took turns yelling “liar!” at the TV screen, but the more I see today, I can’t believe [...]

And only 38 minutes into it!
Sen. Edwards: [some stuff, Bush bad, some numbers, blah blah]
VP Cheney: That’s false.
…
VP Cheney: [Some stuff, John Kerry bad, blah blah]
Sen. Edwards: No, that’s untrue
…
This is pretty boring so far. Go Twins.
UPDATE: OK, it got better after I posted this. It still seemed to me that not much happened. I [...]

From the left, Aces Full of Links
From the (pro-Bush) right, Dust in the Light
From the (anti-Bush) right, Absit Invidia
And from Em, in the angry middle: “I can’t deal with COMMENTARY. eff all you people, I don’t care what you think” (note, this was directed at the TV, not the above linked “group of folks”)
Anyone else?

After about 45 minutes of generally positive reviews of Kerry, I had a fairly cynical thought. There better not be an Orange Alert in the next 7 days.

Before the media gives me my opinion, here are my first reactions (slanted as they may be).
Kerry did slightly better than I expected. I expected him to do well, and I think he did.
Bush did not do as well as I expected. I was surprised, actually.
There were no major flubs at all. Bush was halting [...]
