		<description>Give the membership to Ralph Nader for the first question -- tho he may want to transfer it to George Will.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just got this email from votenader.org&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;Even George Will said that Obama will win with over 370 electoral votes.&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>There is still no one talking about the affront to atheists that&#039;s coming from both sides: Dole&#039;s filthy attacks, and Hagan&#039;s silence in the defense of America&#039;s nonbelievers. I was going to donate to Hagan, but I can&#039;t in good conscience if she truly believes that atheists are not okay to be seen with.&lt;br /&gt;

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Letter to Christopher Hitchens from a longtime Iraqi friend&lt;br /&gt;
By Ayad Rahim&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;For the 20-plus years I have known you, you have been nothing but generous towards me, and I am very fond of you and grateful for your friendship. &lt;strong&gt;Our main points of convergence have been my native Iraq, journalism, atheism and our roots in the Left.&lt;/strong&gt; Your early detection of the nature of Saddam&#039;s fascist rule and your principled and stalwart advocacy for the liberation of Iraq - among many other views and insights, clearly and elegantly expressed -- have drawn me to you and deepened my admiration and respect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As I know you fully comprehend, deposing Saddam -- and liberating Iraq -- was the sine qua non of our response to 9/11 -- and that Iraq is far more important than Afghanistan; and Saddam, more important than bin Laden. (I&#039;m amused -- and bemused -- by the oft-repeated call for a near-total shift of emphasis to Afghanistan and/or Pakistan -- if not a complete shift -- and by the prevalent belief that capturing or killing bin Laden is the primary goal in the war that 9/11 launched, and that doing so would end our troubles with Arab fascism - the actual source of the terrorism we face, rather than Islam/Muslims.)&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

		<description>Only one prediction for me. If the dems can get 60 senate seats then the rethuglican party will die a painful death over the next year. What is my justification for this prediction? What lobbyists are going to contribute to the GOP when there exists a filibuster proof democratic senate. So the GOP well will run dry - dust in the wind. </description>

		<description>Osame 325, unless Diebold dumps all the data and Cheney declares Martial Law.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Who cares.  I agree with PZ, a pox on both their houses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Levin.  No brainer, the polls have him up 58-30 over Hoogendyk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prop 8 goes down like a dog (which is still better than a tree), like our equivalent did here in Michigan.  Apperently, straight white men like voting down other people&#039;s rights.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But the important ones here are a landslide for Prop 1 (medical Marijuana) and a close win for Prop 2 (Stem cell research), though the polls went from 46-44 yes to 51-40 over the last week, despite the catholic church spending millions to send us to the dark ages.</description>
