I haven't seen this poll posted here and have been waiting for it all day. Finally found it. Click here for the poll.

McCain 46%
Obama 44%
Undecided 9%
Sample Size 1,019

I don't blog much and don't have the time to follow the thread. So, someone else can certainly start another thread on this.

We will be canvassing all week and into election day here in Arizona!

This past Friday, before the Presidential Debate, citizens gathered in front of City Hall in Flagstaff, Arizona. And just as we have seen in Anchorage with Alaskans not entirely behind Palin, in Arizona, not all Arizonans support McCain.

I just finished watching Bill Richardson give his speech at Mile Hile Stadium. Wow, was that a firey speech! I have never seen him speak so passionately.

He hit all the right chords. He even invoked Cheny and it's about time we heard that at the convention. He talked about the constitution and really set the tone for the evening. I expect we will hear more like this from Gore but man was that great. Biden will be an excellent VP but I hope Richardson is out there campaigning hard for Obama.

OK, I suspect this will get shot down pretty quickly. But, let’s say we get through all the states and Puerto Rico and we still don’t have a Democratic candidate with enough delegates.

How about if after that, the Democratic Party allows Florida and Michigan to hold their primaries? That way, both candidates could compete and you could get the Democrats from those states back in the process. Maybe the primaries could be held as winner takes all states. Or even better, whomever gets more votes across both states wins the nomination. Wow, that would be an exciting night!

A couple of years ago, members of the local chapter of DFA in Flagstaff formed a 527 called DFA-Flagstaff. They have become an influential activist group in Northern Arizona. The group has had success with numerous events like screenings, festivals, voter registration drives, GOTV and radio ads. This group has now created and produced a series of voter education TV ads. You can view these three ads through YouTube.com: ad 1, ad 2 and ad 3 (or go to the group's web site to view higher resolution versions of the ad).

(I Tivo'd the Monday Night Football game and it is currently half time. So, these impressions are based on the half time and don't include any of the pre-game festivities.)

I'm being driven crazy by the NFL and ESPN's attempt to portray New Orleans as a city that is once again shining. They keep talking about how happy everyone is that the team is back and how important the game is to the city. They keep talking about all the great things the NFL has done for New Orleans. It's a freaking stroke-fest! (More Inside) Read More

Embattled Republican Representative Rick Renzi from Arizona CD-1 has already made the 13 Most Corrupt Members of Congress list. Now, he has shown us exactly how much his vote costs, $26,000. Renzi is the only member of Arizona's congressional delegation not to back Arizonan John Shadegg for majority leader in favor of Roy Blunt.

Mike Caccioppoli is running for congress in Arizona CD-1 as a Democrat. Yesterday, he called for the immediate firing and arrest of Bill O'Reilly for O'Reilly's dangerous remarks made with regards to San Fransisco. Caccioppoli is correct, O'Reilly's comments are as dangerous as shouting fire in a crowded movie theatre. Caccioppoli's press release is below the fold: Read More

It's been six months since the last time I did it and I feel so much better. Don't get me wrong, there still are days that I want to do it. But most days I feel so much better without it.

My addiction had become a problem. I wasn't proud of it. I would try and hide it from others. It started out as something I was just checking out. I heard people talking about it and thought I would give it a try. I thought it was different, interesting. I had no idea how easy it would be to get hooked.

Before I knew it, I was doing it once a day and then two or three times. I really didn't think it was a problem. I thought I could quit any time. But then I tried to quit. Wow, I was shocked. That's when I discovered the power of the habit.

Answers to what I was addicted to and how I stopped are below the fold.

I am the web developer for a Democratic Party county web site in Arizona. I am tasked with adding functionality that allows us to take online credit card contributions.

At this point, I have decided against setting up a merchant account in favor of using a third party service. The one I am considering is http://digitaldonation.net. Is anyone familiar with them or have some other recommendation? Do you have any other advice on this issue?

Thanks!

The Patriotification of Holidays

Have you noticed how each holiday is beginning to look more and more like the 4th of July? First it was Veterans Day. All the right, white and blue draped over everything. Then it was Memorial Day. I was shocked when I saw Target selling fireworks for that holiday. Isn't Memorial Day supposed to be something where you mourn for those who have lost their lives?

I happen to do some consulting work for a company that sells personalized stationary. This work gives me a sneak peak into upcoming holidays. And I can tell you that the next holiday that is about to go through patriotification is Christmas. I saw a card that has a flag-draped Christmas present that said something like giving you the gift of freedom. Another card has a Christmas tree decorated with American flags. What else will we see during Christmas? Certainly red, white and blue lights will decorate trees. Instead of luminarios will we see bottle rockets? Will Santa come dressed in combat fatigues? Will frosty's coal eyes get replaced by security cameras?

Don't know about you, but I'm sick of it. Care to rant along with me about your patriotic theming of Christmas and any other holidays?

Help! Kerry Mask Needed

OK, this might be a strange post and I may get pelted for it. But I feel like this is a community where one can go for help.

My local Kerry meetup group is planning an entry for Kerry in our 4th of July parade. This is a big event in an important swing state. We are taking a light approach and are planning on having a kazoo marching band. We also are going to have someone dressed up as Kerry flanked with two people dressed up as secret service agents. Should be a hoot!

Anyway, I need to find a Kerry mask that looks good as soon as possible. All I have found thus far is this one and it is hideous. Have you seen anything better?

(Side Note: If you read my previous entry on the AZ Nader recount and were wondering why I never posted further numbers, let me just say that I was contacted.<g>)
