Cant Keep Quiet!

According to the Congressional Quarterly, Florida’s 8th Congressional District went from “No Clear Favorite” to “Leans Democrat.”

Incumbent Ric Keller is having a tough fight this year.  Just 2 years ago he beat his poorly funded rival by only 7 points.  This year he barely beat his political newcomer opponent in the primary.  I’ve even seen Alan Grayson signs up in yards with McCain signs.

Voter registration figures released Sunday indicates that Congressional District 8 is no longer a Republican stronghold.  Two years ago there were 14,000 more registered Republicans than Democrats in this district.  Now there are 9,000 more registered Democrats then Republicans.  With the increase in registered Democrats and Republicans turning away from Keller, it looks like Grayson can win this district.

Grayson also has a new ad out today:

Over the weekend Sarah Palin and the McCain campaign started talking about “Real America” and “Real Americans.”  Apparently, I don’t live in “Real America” nor am I a “Real American” because I live in a city instead of a small town.

Personally, I found the implication that some of us are “Real Americans” and some of us are fake Americans insulting.  Hell, I found it offensive and divisive.  Definitely not the language I would expect from a person and campaign that sought such high office.

I spent a good bit of time trying to figure out what I wanted to say in regards to this garbage.  Last night, Jon Stewart and The Daily Show did it for me.  There are several clips from the show to follow.

First, the insult itself is discussed:

Now, find out if you are a “Real American:”

According to Palin, Wasila is “Real America.” This one includes comment on the Alaskan Independence Party. They want to succeed from America and Todd Palin was once a member. Plus you got to love how the current mayor can’t really tell you what she does.

Finally, Jon clarifies he’s feelings regarding what Palin said:

Thanks, Jon, I couldn’t have said it better myself.

Last night Jon Stewart and The Daily Show did a great job showing that McCain’s new stump speech is the same as an old speech from the convention.

Colbert’s Word enjoyed poking at some gaffs McCain and Palin recently made.

One more, just for fun. Stewart dissing Palin:
