I was led to believe that I knew a bunch of stuff that would totally loose Obama the election in Ohio. They made their entire plan ’secret’ and ‘private’ and on a ‘need to know’ basis

Then they announced most of it to the press.

The one passage that is most noteworthy is this:
“To reach out to rural and suburban areas, the Obama campaign is recruiting “neighborhood team leaders” to build networks of local volunteers to persuade voters on face-to-face, instead of relying on television advertisements alone. There is one leader for each of the designated 1,200 neighborhoods in Ohio, which contains 5 to 10 precincts, according to Pickrell.”

Hell, they are advertising the Ohio Neighborhood Team Leader program on the Barack Obama website

I’m not going to take any chances of saying anything that has not been mentioned to the press, so if I don’t have a URL to link to I won’t say anything. But know this one thing- We are going to win Ohio.

I keep watching the Sarah Palin coverage and I have to admit the shitshow is becoming is more and more entertaining as the days go by.

And I have come to one conclusion: I really want to go to Alaska

I mean, Alaska. Where you can shoot guns (hell yeah!) and eat moose (less hell yeah, unless you can kill em with big guns, then hell yeah!)

The weather sucks, and it costs a bit to go there, but where else can you go where the governor of a state with one of the highest incidences of race and incest wanting to charge women who are raped for the rape kits. A governor who is running for vice president and will have Air Force Two on constant alert to go back to Alaska in the event of the rapture.

I don’t know, but I know Alaska is that state. And Palin is that governor.

Now I’m not going to wish John McCain doom and gloom. But this is a 73 72 year old cancer survivor. Do you really want Sarah Palin being a heartbeat away from being president? Seriously?

I mean, I’ll come out and say it. This is NOT a threat or prediction about the future. I am not wishing anything, nor do I have any plans. I hope it NEVER becomes an issue, but really: There is a small but very real chance that McCain will DIE in office, be it by assassination or health issues. I’m not saying that he is going to get assassinated, god I hope that is not true, but a good amount of presidents have had very real attempts against their lives, including George W Bush. And I’m not saying he is sick, because there is no proof of that.

Lets not forget the chance that he will be removed from office or resigns, a la Nixon.

Pure numbers state that there is a small but very real chance that this lady will become president.

During a time of 2 wars and an economic downturn.

That is VERY scary to me.

Now McCain is qualified to be president. He is the wrong choice, but he is qualified. This lady is not.

I was in Denver this previous weekend and decided to leave on Tuesday… I had school and didn’t want to pay too much on housing. I had an HDTV, and thought watching Obama’s speech in HD would be just as good if not better than just being there in person.

Now I’ve fucked up BIG many, many, MANY times in my life. Hell, if you just Google “Nick4753“, “NickCatal” or “Nick Catalano” you will find more than enough evidence of my screwups.

Oh, I’ve made big mistakes in my 21 years on earth.

But coming back on Tuesday is by far the biggest one. Staying away from this convention, from that stadium last Thursday, when I had an easy way to stay longer and people who would support me if I wanted to, was a horrible idea.

An absolutely horrible idea.

And I’ll regret it for quite awhile.

Go Obama!

I am pretty pissed that I am not getting paid for work right now.

You know that whole thing about not working for Obama in Ohio, well… the interesting somewhat-dirty side note is that I was actually expecting to pocket some cash from the deal.

My bank account should be a few grand heavier than it currently is.

So I am sitting here without a job, running low on funds, and bored out of my fucking mind. And now I have a few more weeks of absolutely nothing planned until school starts. Beautiful!

Thank god the parents are here to help out a bit, at least to give me enough money to go to the College Democrats of America convention in Denver in a few weeks. Those conventions are always fun.
