[Politics] Another edition of "other people are saying this better than me"

[emandink]

...links from around my f-list and other haunts:

Given all of the crap people are raining on their political opponents these days, this story is almost tear-worthy.  In sum - a man planning to vote for McCain lent his jacket to a trio of eldery Jewish women refused entry to an Ohio polling place because of their pro-Obama t-shirts so that they could go in and vote.

Surely I'm not the only person on the planet thinking "gee, they couldn't see this one coming?" about Palin going rogue.  I have to admit it's sort of nice to see her actually standing up for herself, even if I disagree with pretty much everything out of her mouth.

Most of y'all have probably seen this already, but Biden pretty much proved his worth in the following interview:

Finally, was I the only one who somehow missed the memo about political t-shirts/buttons/etc. being the subject of a statewide polling place ban in Virginia?  I knew that overy campaigining was a no no, but I was not aware until a few minutes ago that failing to take the Obama  button off of my purse strap could get me bounced.

Heck, I even knew about the ban, and I live in NJ! (I don't think we have it here, but what do I know?)

See, I'd heard about it in Ohio and Georgia and some other states, but not Virginia.
