The Above Linkblogs Might Contain "Borrowed" links.
Linkblogs do not substantially contribute traffic to my blog that I can discover. They all go offsite, and are often accessed from my blog. It's possible to access them from the RSS according to my settings. Still, even if I were to get ads clicking on a linkblog from the RSS won't drive more people to my blog than otherwise because they leave my resources. (Note to self, do more posts, less LBs with sources I find). I explain because I sometimes borrow links from people at Twitter, and often forget who put them up. (To fellow Twitterers: If you have a link to your blog, I will point it there, but Twitter, being impermanent, cannot hold your link for people to discover from there. I only 'borrow' them to get news out to as many people as I can who might not have seen the reports and videos found by the smart people I follow at Twitter or find in search rooms.RSS Add-Me
November Surprise! Obama's Illegal Aunt Gave $265 to Campaign
This is what the McCain camp is reduced to.
Getting really small potatoes gripes worked up into some kind of major scandal so people will forget that one of his first initiatives as president would be to invade Iran and get the US mired in another damaging war, that would only help further drain our economy and boost al Qaeda's standing.
The recent strike on Syria was also seen by some as a way to make an October Surprise shock that would immediately make Americans run to the older "shoot from the hip" candidate as the need for security reigns over all.
Yes, in a time of danger we need the man who chose Sarah Palin to be president in case of his possibly very timely death given his age and cancer history to make major decisions.
The fat cats are that desperate to keep the mainline from the arteries of the middle class going.
Read LA Times "Obama says he didn't know aunt's illegal status" for the details of the case. Wait 24 hours for this to blow up into something bigger than Fourth of July.
Actually, the news media has almost been doing a pretty good job in this election, though they hate to indicate how the right wing controls them via their paid and unpaid trolls, and other gimmicks.
Really, to show how this works, count the number of people appearing on news shows this weekend that make a huge deal of this, especially the ones who claim they were for Obama until they heard this news, then see on Tuesday, how blue that map is (if we all vote).
It will turn out to be a smaller deal than the PUMA movement that was financed and led by Repbulican operatives. There is nothing the fat cats and their political arm, the Republicans, love better than scamming the news media.
This time I think Americans aren't climbing aboard for the ride.
And as for real weight to this story, it's like Bush's DUI that hit just before the 2000 vote. Even I thought that was a stupid story, for all it's factual basis, to hang election hopes on. This story has a factual basis too, but it has little to do with the Democratic Senator.
