New Yorkers heading to Pennsylvania battleground on election day
Trying to get the word out on a massive election day action for New Yorkers to help the Pennsylvania get-out-the-vote effort.
Big event is on election day, when 20 buses will leave New York in a massive get out the vote effort. The effort represents one of the largest political mobilization of New Yorkers in history. (each bus can hold about 50 people so that's roughly 1000 new yorkers going out to PA to get out the vote!)
Buses will depart from:
- Union Square
- 34th street and 8th avenue
- 86th street and Broadway
- Off the Atlantic Avenue subway stop in Brooklyn
Departure time is set for 9:25am with a return time set for 10:30pm.
People should register beforehand either via email ( electiondaybus@citizenactiony.org ) or phone ( 212 523 0180 extension 48) before Monday 12pm.
A mixed message
The democrats have been accused of flip-flopping but if you look at AMixedMessage.com, a new site, it seems that the current administration is no better. [via Metafilter]
Explain
Why would Bush want to rebut Kerry's attacks without him present? Surprisingly, Bush didn't want to debate Kerry every week, an offer the democratic candidate made earlier.
Remember: VP Debate tonight 9pm
Should be available on every TV network in the US. Otherwise, check Cspan for live streaming coverage over the web.
casualty count
Another site with casualty counts in Iraq provides more data. Most striking is the clear numbers on coalition members' casualty counts. Also of interest is the 4 week moving average, which seems to be trending up again. Unofrtunately, numbers like that are hardly partisan (ie. numbers don't like) which means that things are much worse than Bush would like us to believe.
Good question from Centerfield: what about Osama?
It seems most are now forgetting about him but Where's OSAMA? Has he become the emanuel goldstein of our times?
Debate 1 linkdump: even more
This time from Allahpundit, more links. One can end up reading about the debates all weekend.
Stretching the truth but not lying.
The Washington Post does a good job today of taking both candidates to task for stretching the truth, even if they didn't out and out lie.
Memo to Fox: Release the video
If the following story from Talking Point Memos is true, Fox has some interesting quotes. The only way they could make it clear whether it is true or not would be to actually release video showing this to be the case.
Debates: The morning after
The Moderate voice offers a good sumary of links around the blogosphere about last night's debates. Hopefully, polls will soon come out showing us how it actually played out with the electorate. At the end of the day what a few blogger say does not matter much in terms of numbers of votes.
