I am an enthusiastic Warren supporter and I hope she can pull it off. She is battling entrenched sexism but I hope she can carry the day in MA. The Naked Senator needs to put on his barn coat, get in his truck and drive off into the sunset--he's a do-nothing idiot.
I very much liked Gore, but I thought he should have stuck to the blue suit and the red tie and not tried to get all "Donna Brazille Earth Tones" on us. His particular strong suit was that he was a Highly Competent Dork, and I mean that in the nicest way possible. He was the "adult" in the room--I wish he'd followed his instincts and stuck with that, instead of fretting with a comparison over this very likability thing with a dry drunk who liked to dance naked on bars in his youth... but no matter, really--the Supreme Court was pre-ordained to shove Bush in that job, no matter what, I think. Who counts the votes, that's how it works when an election is close--if you can cheat within the margins of the major polls, people will buy the result, even if it's BS.
Obama needs a blow-out, or at least he needs to win enough states DECISIVELY so that there's no question or opportunity to cheat within those margins. I plan on helping in that regard--MA will be "contested" because of RMoney's weak association with the state (even though we know in our hearts that he hates us as much as we hate him, by and large--notice how the bastard cannot even articulate the word "Massachusetts" -- he always says "my state" like he's talking about Utah or Michigan!).
