30 Means "DONE," Right?

In old-school journalism, anyway. Zogby's new poll lends a new twist.

Thanks to Bob Harris for the link.

We can't pop the champagne corks yet! I sense a Rovian stealth campaign to work Joe and Jane Heartland into a "pox on both their houses/they're all corrupt/politicians are liars" mode so these highly thoughtful voters "punish" the innocent and the guilty together by staying home from the polls in 2008.

BTW, by champagne I meant of course champagne grown in California!

Far be it from me to ever celebrate before the fact! Those Irish genes are especially prominent in my makeup.

I think you're probably right about the Rovian strategy. Part of this, I suspect, will be to get the Dems bogged down in Bush's war, whereupon the Reps will somehow portray the Dems as responsible for everything that's gone wrong since the invasion.

The Dems should resist the temptation to debate the issue on the Sunday yack shows, and merely press for diplomatic action and shutting off the dollars spigot. The Dems should be making big noise about a short list of other items for the next two years. Two of my favorites: ethics and fixing the voting system. Looks like they might be getting something going on the former. We'll see.

One of the great pleasures of recent years has been the steady decline of Bush's approval rating. Every 2-4 weeks for several years we have been treated to the delightful headlines, "Bush approval hits all time low."

I still crack up when I think of all the times the right predicted his numbers would turn around. They all expected his numbers to rise during his final months in office. And yet they are lower today than they have ever been.

Gee, this is a long comment for a TEST! :)

Interesting. It appears that it will only let me post as "Twin" if I first log in with one of my Google accounts.

I tried to post as "Twin" while logged OUT of Google, and got the error. But then after I logged into Google, I was able to post as Twin.

It appears that they only allow you to post using the Name/URL option if you are logged in with a Google account.

I just checked Firefox and my login there is persistent -- it doesn't log me out when I close FF, where IE does log me out when I close IE. Which is why it always worked in FF but was inconsistent in IE.

Now the question is why did posting from FF enable posting from IE? Does logging into a Blogger profile with FF also log you in under IE? That would be slick.

I'll have to watch for that...

Oh, this is interesting:

From IE, while not logged in to Blogger, if I try to post a comment using the Name/URL option, I get an error -- the first time.

But if I immediately try again, it works.

(I thought you asked about this scenario in email and I said I tried just clicking again but it didn't work....)

So, (a) disregard what I said about about having to log into Blogger/Google before being able to comment with Name/URL: that's not true.

And, (b) ignore the observation that posting with FF suddenly allows posting with IE. The fact of posting with FF was irrelevant. It's the 2nd attempt that works. In other words, I'm guessing that every time I tried FF, I had previously tried and failed with IE. Therefore my attempts with IE after posting with FF only worked because they were the 2nd attempt. If you know what I mean...
