John Fund instructs on how registration fraud manifests in vote fraud:
MonCrief also told me that some ACORN affiliates had a conscious strategy of flooding voter registration offices with suspect last-minute forms in part to create confusion and chaos that would make it more likely suspect voters would be allowed to cast ballots by overworked officials. [...]

Meanwhile NRO’s Jim Geraghty rounds up the false prophecies:

These two guys depict possible, but remote, scenarios for McCain:
Bob Krumm:
Nationwide: Going in to election day, Obama will be leading 47% to 44% with 7% undecided. McCain wins the undecided almost 5:2. Increased support from black voters in the three Ds (DC, Detroit, and the Deep South) along with gains in other reliably red states [...]

This kind of thing is not going to do Obama any favors in Pennsylvania:
Let me sort of describe my overall policy.
What I’ve said is that we would put a cap and trade system in place that is as aggressive, if not more aggressive, than anybody else’s out there.
I was the first to call for a [...]

So no big surprise stories over the weekend to substantially change the state of race.
I’m not one of those who subscribes to the inevitability of an Obama landslide, and I figure there are a few highly unlikely but still possible scenarios that could result in a surprise McCain win. McCain would need a combination of [...]

Investors Business Daily has a really cogent series of editorials exploring Obama’s proposed policies and motivating philosophies here. It’s in 21 parts, so there’s a lot to wade through.
The first part, Barack Obama’s Stealth Socialism, contains a sort of essay map for many of the remaining parts:
Obama is too smart to try to smuggle such [...]

Usually, Hallowe’en is the time of year that skeletons are set loose on the streets, but in 2008 the far-left skeletons of Barack Obama are being closely guarded. Last week in Obama: A Change We Can Upload I linked to a few incidences of disappearing sources for unflattering information on Obama’s radically leftist background.
Today, news [...]

Amid other reports of substantial suspicious contributions to the record-breaking Obama campaign fund, it is discovered that there are no basic security restrictions to making credit card donations through Obama’s web site. That is, the name and address don’t have to match the billing statement, making it much easier to commit credit card fraud and [...]

Even though there appears to be a disconnect between the title and second paragraph (I agree with the latter), The comprehensive argument against Barack Obama does a pretty good job of summarizing the problems many of us have with Obama’s policies and associations.
One of the key points about Obama’s often radical pre-campaign brain trust is [...]

In that Andy McCarthy piece I quoted earlier today, there was mention of how (former?) Maoist Mike Klonsky was functionally erased from Obama’s campaign web site when a blogger pointed out his literally revolutionary ideas on education. This isn’t the first time I’ve read about controversial information unmysteriously vanishing from the Internet when it becomes [...]

Andy McCarthy looks into another Obama (and Ayers) associate, Mike Klonsky — who as recently as June was a blogger on Obama’s official campaign web site — and finds yet another far-left radical:
Klonsky… was so highly thought of by Mao’s regime that he was among the first Americans invited to visit Communist China. When he [...]

McCain was better tonight, at least in terms of his lucidity on some issues, and he actually had one or two memorable moments. But too many of his answers were muddled, some incoherent (Obama was guilty of this too, but the difference is that he doesn’t show it), and he missed plenty of opportunities. If [...]

Guilt by association obviously doesn’t tar Obama. When I disucssed William Ayers with my mom last week, she shrugged it off, “It was the sixties.”
Stanley Kurtz, however, has done the boring work of connecting the dots between Obama’s many questionable relationships and how it has manifested in his policies. While he was distributing money for [...]

A lot has been said about this new wave of “Republican Rage” that has manifested in a few people shouting unforuntate things at McCain/Palin rallies. If this is a genuine right-wing mirror of the “Angry Left” was have seen over the last 8 years, this is not good. James Taranto analyzes this kind of thing [...]

Is that what ACORN will do if Obama loses?:

By mid-February 2008, more than 1,500 Kenyans were killed. Many were slain by machete-armed attackers. More than 500,000 were displaced by the religious strife. Villages lay in ruin. Many of the atrocities were perpetrated by Muslims against Christians.
The violence was led by supporters of Raila Odinga, the [...]

That’s what this literary fraud expert thinks. I find it hard to believe most conspiracy theories. I doubt secrets like this can be safely kept. However, in the course of his argument he unearths some poetry written by Obama.

Tracing Obama’s literary ascent is complicated by what Politico.com calls a “scant paper trail.” That trail [...]

This release is from last week, but I’ve been slow in posting some of these items:
100 Economists Warn That With Current Weak Financial Conditions Barack Obama’s Proposals Run A High Risk Of Throwing The US Into A Deep Recession:
Barack Obama argues that his proposals to raise tax rates and halt international trade agreements would benefit [...]

From a National Review Online editorial:
The New Republic has reported that Obama joined Trinity around this time because he “was taken with Wright’s worldview.” The reporting of NR’s Stanley Kurtz has revealed that in the late 1980s, Wright’s worldview entailed a burning hatred of Western capitalism and a belief that black assimilation into the middle [...]

Obama fights back on the ACORN ties:

Barack Obama Never Organized with ACORN
Discredited Republican voter-suppression guru Ken Blackwell is attacking Barack Obama with naked lies about his supposed connection to ACORN.
• Fact: Barack was never an ACORN community organizer.
• Fact: Barack was never an ACORN trainer and never worked for ACORN in any other capacity.
• [...]

I’ve been looking around for info on the Bush & McCain-sponsored “deregulation” on which Obama and Biden have been blaming this economic crisis.
So far I haven’t found anything. (There’s this Clinton-era law that seems to have kick-started this meme, but even Clinton said this deregulation has eased the crisis, not inflamed it.)
Googling for Bush deregulation [...]
