Comments on: The Applesauce Challenge http://blogs.e-rockford.com/applesauce/2008/09/15/the-applesauce-challenge/ Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don't say you weren't warned. By the way, this blog's name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, "All politics is applesauce."

Well done, Kaus. If you keep thinking like me, you might be accused of being a liberal, which I am not. The one state I wonder about is Virginia. Is there a chance for Obama?
