Repubs get bounce in polls, during Dem convention???

[myelo]

Any thoughts as to why???

Too early. Obama/Biden will get a short-lived 3-5 point bounce soon after the convention.

[mg1942]

As of today Obama has ~2 point lead. 

That's a far cry from 2 months ago when he had the "celebrity" status.

[Hangtime]

mg... I guess Obama is the popular choice in Imperial Russia, too?

When he loses here, if he immigrated to Russia, would he have a political future there?

 Actually I'm pretty sure Russia and China are both rooting for the republicans.  I believe the republicans have both aided in the rise of Russian power and also help line the Chinese pockets. Hard to believe you lived through the last 8 years and still want to vote republican.

I lived through the last 58 years of both Republicans and Democrats.

Without a helmet for 55 of 'em.

I don't wear a seatbelt either, unless nagged.

My kid said once 'he's a rebel.' My wife replied; 'no, honey; he's a moron'. (this from the woman who's gotten 3 cell phone while driving tickets from the same cop)

I've made it this far... guess we'll let history be the judge.

haven't seen this "corporation" thing but I do know that the socialists control all 12 years of public paid for schooling and any other higher education a mush headed kid may get.

They come back from school lecturing their parents and betters on the man made global warming hoax..  recycling.. the evils of firearms and the horror of not wearing a seatbelt.

Pretty sure I got a lot less to fear from adds by corporations.

Judging by his oratory skills, he will definitely fit in Germany!
Germany is in dire need of celebrity and bling status

Link to a YTube segment you'll like.... the film is available in 6 minute chunks, broken down by subject matter. I hopped around, got hooked then ran the whole thing. It's about 2.5 hours. Stub review below the linky.

"The Corporation" is like a shotgun blast: powerful but scattershot. The film has an incredible amount of information to offer but loses some of its focus, especially toward the end of its two-and-a-half hour running time. Some anecdotes would have been benefited from summary. For instance, the story of how Fox News successfully repressed an investigative report that was damaging to Frankenfoods giant Monsanto is an instructive tale, but in the detailed blow-by-blow, the crucial point of the final court ruling gets lost: it is now legal for an American news corporation to force its reporters to lie.

In other places, too, the amount of detail drowns out the focus of the argument. We learn, for instance, that the California Supreme Court considered, but ultimately decided against revoking the corporate charter of oil giant Unocal. But for a film that spent much time on the status of corporations as persons, it was surprising that there was no mention of the growing "Corporate Death Penalty" movement--if corporations enjoy the rights of people, shouldn't they also qualify for the ultimate punishment when they kill? Tighter editing could have driven home the central points of the film more successfully.

Ultimately, these are quibbles. "The Corporation," baggy as it is, stays fascinating throughout. Amusing vintage footage from silent movies and educational films illustrate some of the drier concepts, and the wide-ranging roster of talking heads includes everybody from Noam Chomsky and Michael Moore to Shell chairman Sir Mark Moody-Stuart, Milton Friedman, and reformed CEO Ray Anderson. Since I've seen "The Corporation," not a day has gone by that I haven't thought of one of the film's lessons."
