Presidential Race – Stuff You Gotta Know
Thanks to Russ Daggett for posting these. Quiz is in the super market line, at the family barbecue, with Aunt Sally on the phone…
obama factoids
Here are some good Obama factoids for use with your right-wing brother-in-law (much more detail here):
* During the primary, McCain ditched every difference he had w/Bush to get nominated
* McCain went from voting with Bush for 90% of the last 8 years to 100% this year
* Many of McCain’s top campaign staff ran Bush’s campaign; his ‘town halls’ staged like Bush’s
* The last time the GOP tried to package someone as a reformer during an election, it was Bush
* McCain never split w/Bush on Rumsfeld/Cheney, he said he would have hired them himself
* Obama bucked his party during the primary, opposing health care mandates, addressing the future Social Security solvency crisis, and advocating teacher merit pay
* Obama is endorsed by a long list of high profile conservatives and elected Republicans
* Not one high profile progressive or Democrat endorses McCain (CT Dems booted Joe Liebermann in 06)
