Honestly, they must be nuts

I was just egosurfing today, and saw this post at Riehlworldview. Apparently, Riehlworldview thought they (whoever they are) could influence Nevadans to vote against Obama...simply because I was going there and I had cut some edgy videos against Proposition 8?

Honestly..."Obama dispateches [me] to Nevada"? What the hell are they thinking? That Barack personally called me up as an inner member of his cabal and said, "You're needed in Nevada!"? Who the hell do they think I am, Darth Maul?

Honestly. The word "dispatch" is one that gets used for, say, sending high-profile surrogates like Senators or primary campaign rivals. I was "dispatched"? I really appreciate the honor.

Next thing you know, they're going to say that I paid for the gas to drive out using George Soros' credit card.

And you've got to love this. From the comments:

Not a smart move. There are a lot of LDS in NV (third only behind UT and ID) and with an RCP average of only +4.2 for The One, this move could well galvanize the McCain turn out and give this state to McCain.

Right, Jonathan. Because "dispatching" me as one of thousands of GOTV volunteers to Nevada could really galvanize the right because I'm that damn important!

LOL. Of course, as they say on the sports court...SCOREBOARD!!!

Agreeing with John McCain: not a bad thing

Here's a link to a post I wrote on DailyKos and MyDD (reclisted on the latter) arguing that Barack Obama's statements of agreement with John McCain were not only not harmful, but actually productive in light of the current mindset of the American people. Key preview quote:

At a time when regular citizens are tired of the partisanship in Washington and are looking for who is actually going to provide solutions to problems rather than engaging in even more partisan hackery, there are certainly situations less appealing to the American people than, say, a United States Senator having the temerity to agree with another United States Senator in a public debate forum about both economic and foreign policy issues.

That contrasts strongly with John McCain's debate performance, in which he couldn't even look Obama in the eye for the full 90-minute session...
