    than the polls have been showing.

    I also think that if the election were held next week, McCain would have a better chance. He is closing in on Obama in the battlegrounds. I think McCain will win in Florida and Ohio and maybe Virginia. With more time, I think he could have turned Pa.

    The financial crisis was a huge gift for Obama. If he wins, that will have been what took him over the top. How sad (from the perspective of the election) that the actions taken so far may have actually taken us out of the most danger of a further crash. Thus, he could walk into the Presidency with the greatest risk to the economy behind him. And, surely he will take credit for it.

    The media is the other factor. They are now truly an advocate more than ever. They could not get Kerry elected, but may be successful this time with Obama. They are a disgrace.

    While you’re waiting for the 500 errors to clear, come hang out with me on my TinyMush, at muds.toccobrator.com 9901. You could try going there by raw telnet but going that route gets pretty ugly, better to go get yourself a mud client (Wikipedia has a good page about mud clients) and connect that way.

    Once you’re connected and have created yourself a character, ‘+help +newbie’ has the basic commands so you can chat to people. See you there!

    51% McCain 48% BO

  • bk

    where turnouts will exceed 100%?

  • Finrod

    It’s multiple minutes between my sending a line and seeing it show up. Bogus.

  • scottbomb

    And only a few of the comments from the rest of us make it at all. They figure if they let everyone participate, it would scroll too fast to be readable.

  • Jeff_Emanuel

    …a handful of moderators allowed at a time. Sorry…

  • dbecraft

    500 server errors that I do wish that you would just either give it up or buy some hardware!!

  • dbecraft

    This was only my fourth comment and it actually went through – congratulations!

    Seriously, you really need to do something about this site’s access problems!

  • dbecraft

    either hardware problems or software problems – MAJOR! I have lost at least 10 comments due to “500 Server Error” and I just can’t believe that it is not correctable.

    Please, either fix your hardware or go to another software vendor! This is getting more than most will handle…

    I can’t believe my nation has as many idiots as we appearently do. I could understand someone with a little experience like Hillary winning but a far-left, childish fool with lunatic friends, little experience, and no accomplishments to point to is about to become our president. May God help us.

  • dbecraft

    second response to Jeff. Come on Jeff, you can let my comments go since they refer only to this site’s problems…

  • dbecraft

    Please do something about the errors on this site! It is becoming an embarrassment to other Republican sites…

  • dbecraft

    Maybe it is a targeted offense…heh. Are others experiencing the 500 error?

    Really wanted to comment on the election, but it is looking bad, and I do not want to contribute to the pessimism…

  • dbecraft

    I am also still in shock at the electoral voter turnout… I always though that Americans had more common sense!

  • GregInFla

    Folks in South Florida vote for GOP Hispanic Congresspeoples, and then vote Obama, which nullifies for GOP Congresspeople’s power. Just stupid.

    And if Jefferson gets re-elected AGAIN with that money in his freezer, that is an real example of stupidity.

  • dbecraft

    problem that is occurring here at RedState?
    I really would like to know what the problem is and the expected correction. I know that you really want to effect Republican voters, so why don’t you either fix the problem or at least let us know what is happening here…

    Remember those Death Star graphics we used to put up? That plan is still operative. It’s just taking way longer than we hoped.

  • izoneguy

    I would have to say – being a boss for almost 30 years that’s it’s a popular workers revolt. Kinda like when your kids are going crazy. At a certain point you throw your hands up in the air and say – fine keep it up. And a few moments later you hear crying and see blood. We won’t see blood but probably lot’s of tears by this time next year. I guess I can start planning my next project.
    A documentary about how the left has destroyed small business. I can interview the former owners and the people that used to work for them. Should be some really good stories in Ohio & PA. Laid off coal workers can tell me what they did with the $100 a month Obama sent them. Let’s party like it’s 1929!!!

  • dbecraft

    I really have just about given up on commenting though…it keeps getting erased on the 500 error.

    I hope you are not going for “pretty” rather than consistency. I like pretty, but I love workable and consistent…

    Thanks for the response.

    not the thing to do – causes repeat responses…sorry…

    We have been experiencing these problems off and on for weeks. We moved to a new version and the bugs are still getting worked out. The 500 errors are less and less now days. I am not sure how long you have been a member of RedState, I am guessing not too long (or maybe you checked out for a while)since you seem awfully out of whack over the 500 errors, but it is what it is.

    My guess…our moderators are just a bit busy this evening. They are not working on RedState technical issues tonight, but covering the debate. That is probably the reason you are not hearing back.

    I know it is annoying, especially at such a tense time…but take a breath. RedState is by far the most welcoming, friendly, high class blog I have been a part of. They are working on the technical kinks and those of us who love RS are just dealing with it patiently.

  • Herodotus

    Looks like a house pick up there too.

  • dbecraft

    but as an annoyed member (5 years), I am disgusted! They moved from a reasonable forum to this? It is unacceptable!

    So to you a probably short time member (or at least a lovable member) – get with it and demand a better system! I have always supported them here, but they really do need to improve dramatically…!!

    If Goode is going to win it will take absentee votes.

  • dbecraft

    several months…so why can’t they fix it?

  • scottbomb

    I was counting on the grown ups to come out today and take charge but I guess they didn’t. I’m beginning to better understand events like the Bolshevik revolition and the rise of the Nazi party. It’s hard to believe that so many people can be fooled and I like to think that we, as Americans, are somehow above that. Appearently, we’re not.

    That being said, I predict a landslide GOP win in 2012. As the people get to actually know their new president as well as we political junkies know him, they’re not going to like him.

    I think our biggest handicap this election has been the unpopularity of President Bush. The guy has gotten a really bad rap. The press made it a full-time job to blame everything from gas prices to the weather on him.

    And then there’s the never-ending drumbeat of the war in Iraq. I ask some of my Obama-loving friend why they are voting for him. They say they want “change”. I ask them, “what would you like changed?” All they can say is, “we need to get out of Iraq”. I tell them that Obama’s not going to pull out of Iraq any faster than McCain would. They’re suddenly speechless, but they still vote for “change”.

    So here’s the “change” we’re gonna get:

    1. Abortion on demand made easier as all pro-life laws are nullified and us taxpayers foot the bill for many of them. Very few are in favor of this, but hey, they wanted “change”.

    2. No new energy exploration. The next time the speculators drive the price of oil through the ceiling, the people will demand “drill here, drill now!” But nobody who can do anything about it will be listening.

    3. To all the Jews who voted for Obama: Trust me when I tell you, Mahmoud in Iran is celebrating tonight, and he has BIG plans for Israel.

    4. TAXES. I’m a salesman and I have plenty of co-workers voting for Obama. I can’t wait til the taxes in our commission checks (now at over 30%) go UP. I’m gonna rub it in like glass in a wound. They hate those taxes as much as I do but since we all make less than 250k, 200k, 150k…. they think we’re immune.

    5. Get ready for Al Gore running the EPA. The door to the henhouse will be opened to the fox.

    I could go on and on, but I have homework I’ve been neglecting. My psychology book beckons me. This brings to mind a theory… If I reward a rat with food when he presses the bar but deliver a shock 10 seconds later, will he keep pressing the bar? If human electoral behavior is any indication, I bet the stupid rat will keep pressing the bar.

    We got trounced. Welcome to the USSA

    Issue here. These comments do not go with this diary. At all. The diary was written about a week or two ago. Some of the comments are apparently from four years ago and belong to something else. No biggee in the grand scheme of the solar system. Its just really weird to read, and it may be happening to other diaries as well.

  • Mike Ferguson

    To the poster of this question. That is something you can only answer in your own heart.

  • Mike Ferguson

    Uhh, this is not the post that I left this comment on. Score one for the suck that is Disqus.

  • Melody Warbington

    @tngal, cue the twilight zone music. If you read some of the comments about errors and problems and asking for answers, you might think they were posted this week. LOL.

  • tngal

    Oh Melody, its getting worse. I originally typed in my above message to the diary “Am I A Racist” and now it and you are appearing on a College Ball diary. Oh well, when in Rome I guess—-”GO VOLS”. Here Mel, I’ll do this one for you—”ROLL TIDE”. Ok, so now we’re good to go.

  • Melody Warbington

    @tngal You had me at “GO VOLS” but I appreciate the ROLL TIDE as well. Between football and politics, it’s going to be a busy fall.

  • tnfriendofcoal101368

    GO VOLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • tngal

    Ok Mel, now we’re in a diary called “G?zuar Dit?n e Flamurit, which, best as I can decifer has something to do with Albania. Not really sure what year it was posted. Actually, this is getting to be kinda fun. I can’t wait to see which member diary we’ll pop into next.
