Remember, there are no exceptions to the fourth amendment.

I Like Them Both
I know people are supposed to be either rabidly pro-Obama and anti-Clinton, or vice versa, but I’m not. I like both these candidates, and in the absence of John Edwards
Where’s My Tin Foil Hat?
I hate it when events send me ’round the bend into crazy paranoia, but this feels so wrong to me.
Police concerned about order to stop weapons screening at Obama rally
DALLAS — Security details at Barack Obama’s rally Wednesday stopped screening people for weapons at the front gates more than an hour before the Democratic presidential candidate took the stage at Reunion Arena.
The order to put down the metal detectors and stop checking purses and laptop bags came as a surprise to several Dallas police officers who said they believed it was a lapse in security….
They said it seemed like a “friendly crowd”, so everything must be okay, right? What could go wrong in Texas?
More McCain
Looks like McCain may not be able to opt out of public financing after all. And he’s already spent more than allowed under that system. Oopsie.
Extra bonus McCain incompetence:
Will McCain Be on the Indiana Ballot?
Not that it’s the biggest thing he has to worry about right now, but McCain’s spot on the Indiana primary ballot faces a challenge after his campaign fell short in the number of signatures required….
UPDATE: On the other hand, here’s one thing McCain is doing right.
Asked about that account as he drove to this small town to address a snowbound crowd at Young’s Jersey Dairy, known for ice cream, McCain demurred, saying he did not know the facts of the situation.
I’m a huge fan of Young’s Jersey Dairy.
Things We Have Always Known
Wisconsin Numbers
Once again from the USA Today Vote Summary Page, I do a little addition (this time with 100% of votes counted).
| Total Votes by Candidate | |
| Obama | 645,990 |
| Clinton | 452,774 |
| McCain | 224,186 |
| Huckabee | 151,162 |
| Total Votes by Party | |
| Democrats | 1,111,326 |
| Republicans | 409,207 |
So once again, turnout on the Dem side overwhelmed Republican turnout entirely.
The other interesting thing to note is that, even though McCain is acknowledged to be the only Republican with a chance of winning the election, Huckabee took 37% of the Wisconsin vote, and in Washington Huckabee took 22% while Romney, who isn’t in the race any more, took 20% of the vote.
A lot of Republicans are not reconciled to their candidate, are they?
Republican Proud
Cindy “McPercocet” McCain wants you to know just how proud she really is.
Oct. 18, 1999 | PHOENIX — GOP presidential candidate John McCain’s wife Cindy took to the airwaves last week, recounting for Jane Pauley (on “Dateline”) and Diane Sawyer (on “Good Morning America”) the tale of her onetime addiction to Percocet and Vicodin, and the fact that she stole the drugs from her own nonprofit medical relief organization….
Emphasis added.
UPDATE: Oliver Willis has a detailed account.
Wikileaks Mirrors
Since Wikileaks has been silenced, a number of mirror sites have sprung up overseas. Dan Feidt of HongPong has an updated list, FYI.
UPDATE: Here’s a BBC story on the lawsuit and the site being taken down.
