One more day.

There is only a month left of this election cycle, and it is that time for all of us to put everything we can into it. My former boss used to tell us a month out from an election that you can do anything for 30 days. You can handle a month of working your ass off for the future of this country. Here is a list of 10 things you can do to help elect Democrats across the board.

1. Bring registration forms, vote pledge forms, sign-up sheets, or campaign information with you wherever you go. When you go to happy hour with your friends, talk to some people you don’t know and encourage them to sign-up. Go to events and do it. If you are in college, talk to people on campus. Remember to look up the registration deadlines in your state so you don’t keep registering people after the deadline.
2. Use my.barackobama.com to call or go to the doors of voters. The entire system is run online and you can make calls from the comfort of your home whenever you have a few minutes of time to spare.
3. Volunteer for a local campaign. We need to elect Democrats up and down the ballot. Find a local Democratic candidate and help.
4. Talk to your friends about the election. Make sure they are registered and planning to vote.
5. Offer to drive your friends to the polls. Whether it is for early voting or on election day, make sure that your friends who may not have cars can get to the polls to vote.
6. Use your online social networks to get out the vote. Send Facebook messages, write on your friends’ walls, tag them in notes, whatever it takes to get them to vote.
7. Vote early or by mail if you can. This way you will be able to help on election day and you won’t have to worry about something happening that will prevent you from voting.
8. Write letters to editors. Talk about why it is important to elect Democrats and see if your local papers will publish them.
9. Record a video about why you are voting Democrat. Then share it with your friends and post it online.
10. Donate to Democrats or ask your friends and family to donate. Make sure your Democratic candidates have the resources they need to execute their GOTV programs.

There are a lot of ways that you can help. Just make sure that on November 5th you can look back and feel confident that you did everything you could to win this election.

So this is the web video that the McCain campaign put out 15 seconds after the debate ended. It attacks Barack Obama for saying John McCain is right. Here is why I think it is stupid.

First, the video makes it look like that by virtue of agreeing with John McCain on something you aren’t ready to lead. Agreeing with John McCain on a lot of things certainly implies questionable judgment, yet I don’t think that was the message they were going for.

Second, it’s misleading. Every time Obama said he agreed with McCain on something, he followed up with how he disagreed with McCain on the big picture or the way to address the problem. It’s like someone saying “America needs to be energy independent” and another saying “I agree that we need to be energy independent, but your plan isn’t the right way to get there.”

Third, it attacks the concept of bi-partisan cooperation. If anything Obama is showing where there is some common ground, which would be the basis of coming to consensus across party lines to find solutions to America’s challenges. This ad shows that when it comes to working across party lines, McCain is all talk. This is why the members of the two parties rarely work together. As soon as they do it becomes fodder for political attacks.

Here is a video created by the Huffington Post that shows Obama calling McCain out when he was dead wrong, and this poor judgment has cost our country dearly.

Here are some screenshots from the online polls from a number of sites asking the question “who won tonight’s debate.”

The videos below are from an interview with Barack Obama on Connie Martinson Talks Books from 1995. They are discussing his then-new book Dreams from My Father. This interview should go a long way in disproving those people that doubt Obama’s authenticity. h/t to Donklephant.

The Obama - Clark petition campaign has almost reached 5,000 signatures, halfway to the goal of 10,000. Want to see why people are supporting Wes Clark for VP? Check out this video of Gen. Clark on Morning Joe.

I think that the McCain Campaign’s recent BarackBook stunt was stupid, so I decided to create a mock-up of what McCainBook would look like. Click to enlarge.

JOHN MCCAIN: “Now we’ve got the cables. We’ve got talk radio. We’ve got the bloggers. I hate the bloggers. We’ve got all kinds of sources of information.”

I wonder if the cables ever hang out with the internets.
