Slog - Comments on For Those Seeking More Discrediting of Last Night's Speeches... http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/09/for_those_seeking_more_discrediting_of_l ... Sullivan has a bunch of posts about what they got wrong: Listening to [Obama] speak, it's easy to forget that this is a man who has authored two memoirs but not a single major law or even a reform, not even in the state senate. I guess we should thank Matt Scully for inserting the word "major." You can go look at Obama's State Senate legislative record here. And his US Senate record here. At last count, sponsorship of 820 laws in Illinois, and authorship of 152 bills and co-sponsorship of 427 in Washington. The 2007 Ethics Reform...

Way to shake things up in Washington, guy.

Palin shouldn't be the focus of anything.

It's his first executive decision, and not only did he blow it, he blew it in a very familiar way: by pandering instead of paying attention, shooting from the hip, just waving his hands and saying "whatever, I'll take that one". We've had eight years of that crap from Bush, we don't need a minute more.

McCain is going to be the worst president in history. Maybe that's his job; making people forget how godawful Bush was.

Rove's talent for obfuscation is all over this shit, and everyone needs to ignore her.
She's almost exactly like my mother so it's easy for me already.

Facts are strange things to Republican separatists ...

Also, we should never underestimate the American people's willingness to out an unqualified dumbass in the White House (um...we have been living it for the last 8 years)

I'd only add that we need to get Rove on camera and on record much more between now and November. He's great at smokescreens but terrible at being a mascot. Which is fantastic.
