COMMENT DELETED: Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam!
We'd rather not moderate your comments, but off-topic, gratuitously inflammatory, threatening, or otherwise inappropriate remarks may be removed, and repeat offenders may be banned from commenting. We never censor comments based on ideology. Thanks to all who add to the conversation on Slog. Especially Christopher Frizzelle's Enormous Whozeewhatsis!
Great to hear the fine character actor Edward Binns (Patton, It Takes a Thief, etc.) in the Biden ad.
@3 - heh, the first thought I had when I saw about the Zogby poll was "PC's ten-page rant about how Obama is DOOMED! DOOOOOOOOMED! must be coming any minute now."
I'm sure the rant will arrive shortly, followed by more deleted comments. Is it war on trolls week or something?
