Autism? or another McCain Problem with Language?

My son just called with a good point about McSame.

In the debate tonight McSame said Sarah Palin knows about autism better than most...Huh?

I was not aware that any of her children were diagnosed as autistic. Her newest, has been said to be a Downs Syndrome child...and that's not the same thing at all!

My son's point is that these are no longer McSame "gaffes" - instead they are signs of something very seriously wrong with the McSame brain..

I've mentioned before that he appears to be mixing up his words.. I am a psychologist, not a neurologist, but this mixing up and using the wrong words and not understanding the difference between Sunni and Shiite, or autism and Downs Syndrome, and not finding his way off a stage, saying my fellow prisoners, etc.... these are no longer stupid bush-like neologisms - these may be indicators of a more serious problem.

He won't release his medial records publicly, but it may be that the voting public has also picked up on these issues and figured it might just be what is making him so totally unable to stick to a point or a campaign course and/or speak correctly.

It's sad - but he has chosen to go this route for whatever his reason and I don't feel sorry for him at all!

Another good person

From Brad Avakian [a really nice guy]

Friends --

As you know, I am running to keep my position as state Labor Commissioner. This is a tricky race. I have two opponents and since this is a non-partisan position, like a judge, no party identification will appear on the ballot. Because I was appointed to this office and have never been on the statewide ballot, we have got to get the word out.

My campaign will be rolling out a new television spot this week and I want to make sure that you're one of the first to see it.



And he is doing the state of change tour...If you are in any of these areas - go and say hi to all these good people - and then vote for them...ballots are coming later this week!!!

The "new" DSCC

I am glad that the usually very boring DSCC has found ad makers who have a sense of humor - while pressing importnat points..

No one likes to watch dull campaign ads - well I don't - but do you like them?

Living in Oregon and having a great chance to unseat an R with a progressive D is neat - and so I smile at this ad!

It's time to laugh out loud!

This is funny - and even funnier is that the person who sent it to me probably has zero idea of the cable words used :-) - and he is younger than I.....

It's a break from politics - but how knows - McSame may be in this fix himself next year after he loses all his houses and money and can't afford cable!

Ah - more sad McSame

John McBush is now saying something along the lines of he's right where he wants to be - which from my perspective is way way down in the polls - and if he wants to be there - all the better. Usually I don't want to give repugs what they want but this time I'll make an exception.

Lets keep giving McSame what he wants - and like his "love" - he can sink further and further down in the polls. Think of it as a good-bye gift from us to all the nasty repugs...[especially the two in the photo :-)]

Let's go all out for such an overwhelming win for Obama that it carries down ballot and we give Congress and state houses and senates a super majority of democrats - and watch the repugs go away quietly never to return in my lifetime! Or yours - or your kids - or your grandkids...or ever!

Run up the score! Leave no vote behind! Etc....
