New Hampshire, the Live Free or Die Granite State, as we all know, is a swing state this election cycle. There have been reports flying back and forth on dKos recently about the feel of things in NH and whether the state that propelled McCain's White House bids in 2000 and 2008 will be firmly in McCain's column this year. There are good arguments to be made for either side, and I'm doing to discuss some of the things, from a New Hampshire volunteer on the ground in Keene, in the southwest of the state.

Lets go over the fold.

I was wandering around the Internet today, trying to avoid doing homework, when I stumbled across the facebook group "One Million Strong for Barack Obama." Of course, they then had posted images...about three thousand of them.

I downloaded quite a few of them to share with Kossacks here, as I found quite of them quite effect and to the point. Feel free to use any of these throughout dKos and the Internet, for mojo or just plain humor.

In order to use any of these images, just click on them, and copy the HTML code they offer and post it into a diary or comment field here.

There have been several new PAC ads out since Obama signaled that he was okay with Democratic 527's entering the race. Even TPM is reporting that Top Democrats Privately Urging Major Donors To Fund Outside Groups To Attack McCain (here)

We saw the recent Defenders of Wildlife Ad attacking Palin on her savagery:

Now, the Brave New Films PAC (A 527) is attacking McCain's P.O.W. Cred with another P.O.W. that served with him in Vietnam.

There were news reports yesterday that Obama was holding the full force of his pushback, counterpunch against McCain until after September 11th. Even though John McCain broke his promise not to run any negative ads that day. Well, today is September 12th, and the counterpunch has begun, just like Plouffe promised today. Today he has a rally in Concord, NH (which I couldn't get tickets for :( ) and tomorrow, an event in Manchester.

Not only that, but the counterpunch in the ad game begins now. For those that argue Obama hasn't been fighting the ad war, I hope this is the new start.

The Washington Post just got it's hands on the emails that Pailn sent out concerned with the firing of a state-trooper. These emails come from someone else she fired along with the trooper, and could prove to be damning in a court case, because what you say in email is permanent.

Follow me over the fold for all the details.

Understanding FISA, the Constitution, and Obama.

Before you threaten to not to vote or donate to Obama, not to work for the Democrats, or not to vote at all, take a short trip over the fold with me to understand all the different forces at play between FISA the Fourth (and other) Amendment and Obama.

So, today, I got up ridiculously early (six, but ridiculously early for a college kid, okay, =P) to go pick up my girlfriend in Manchester and drive an hour to Sunapee to take a shuttle to Unity. What followed was one of the best experiences of my life. Report and pics below the fold!

Update: OMG reclist! Thanks guys, glad you enjoyed the pictures! =)

Recently,I got into a massive political debate with a republican Neighbor. These people are hardcore Republicans--some of the 19% that still support Mr. 19% in the White House. They do not regret their vote for Chimpy McFlightsuit, and believe that he has made the country better. They don't even think that the current Monarch has ever lied to the country. I know I can never really change their mind about who they support, and I cannot sway them from McCain.

However, I do have the ability to sway my father, who was listening to our debate, and wanted to hear my email response with my cited facts and information.

He is a very Independent-minded voter, like most of us here in New Hampshire, and had tended to lean Republican recently (I blame Fox News). However, he does regret Bush and everything to do with him. Maybe I can get him on our side, which is important in a swing state such as mine, New Hampshire.

I started the email describing the first Senate Prewar Intelligence Report, because my neighbor had said that it was led by the democrats and had cleared Bush entirely.

The letter is below the fold.

Terrorist. Fist. Jab.

Also known as the fist bump or fist pound.

What is it?

The venerable wikipedia defines for us:

The fist bump, also called the fist pound, dabs, dap, knucks, and knuckle bump, is a type of friendly gesture similar to a hand shake or a high five. It is performed by two people tapping their fists lightly. A bump also can be known as a symbol of giving of respect. Fist pounds can also be followed by various other hand and body gestures,

So I'm sure you've heard the word Linux floating around at some point. Maybe you've heard that it's another operating system like Mac or Windows, but you never really bothered to learn more. Perhaps you've heard the name of the most popular type of Linux, Ubuntu, floating around in Daily Kos itself.

Linux desktop-users are not a large contingent in and of themselves. At last estimate, they were only 1% of the entire computer market. However, this was double the previous estimate, and other signs across the globe have pointed to Linux on computers growing even faster.

Let's go over the fold.
