Obamarama
The Barack Obama campaign will host a presidential debate watching party this evening at Temple Prana, 540 Howard near First Street, so come on down to bask in the lefty love as Obama fends off the increasingly desperate (and downright duplicitous) attacks by John McCain. Even Mayor Gavin Newsom will be there. The event starts at 5:30 and the action kicks off at 6.

"The League of Women Voters is withdrawing its sponsorship of the presidential debates . . . because the demands of the two campaign organizations would perpetrate a fraud on the American voter. It has become clear to us that the candidates' organizations aim to add debates to their list of campaign-trail charades devoid of substance, spontaneity and answers to tough questions. The league has no intention of becoming an accessory to the hoodwinking of the American public.''

Does "lefty love" extend to embracing Obama's claim that Reagan was a "great president"? Or supporting the bailout? The nuclear option on Iraq? Supporting the death penalty? Opposing gay marriage? That China is an "enemy" of the US? If being on the left supporting such postions, then count me out!
Could someone tell me what "hope" or "progress" Obama actually offers?
