2. According to the current polls, Obama can beat McCain decisively, but McCain can still beat Clinton.
3. If [...]

In a discussion about feminism today, pompe, who lives in Sweden, wrote:
A migrant-descended Swede woman argued that the reason why we (here) focus a lot on ethnicity (and I suppose that’d be what goes for “race” in your country) instead of class is that class issues we actually _can_ do something about. Ethnicity is a [...]

This may be my last post about the 2008 election. I was going to title it “Everybody knows,” but everybody doesn’t. People get hopeful—it’s not a coincidence that politicians ask us to get hopeful—and we forget what we know.

Via Philocrites, I found this:
The Pew Research Center polled 1,209 voters who said they cast ballots in the 2004 presidential election. When those voters were given a list, ”moral values” was the most popular choice at 27 percent, followed by Iraq at 22 percent and the economy at 21 percent.

I had thought Election Day should be a national holiday. I now think the day after should be a holiday, too. It’s more important than New Year’s Day: It’s four times as important as New Year’s Day.
I’m thinking about my future, my country’s future, and the world’s future. I’m thinking that God (however you understand [...]

Blog reduction has begun. I may be keeping The Secret Academy separate, but I’ve posted a notice at the Electoral College blog that it’s on hiatus.
Information from there that might interest people here:
