I'm going even more cautious than RealClearPolitics predictions .... 278 for Obama, handing ALL the tossups to McCain for a total of 260. If Obama gets any one of the tossups (and that's highly probable), it'll be a bonus for me: VA, NC, GA, FL, OH, IN, MO, ND, MT, AZ.

Cheney's hometown paper endorsed Obama. If you're so inclined, you can watch Obama's last speeches streaming here. Charlotte NC at 5:25pm Manassas VA at 9:10pm

The only way he wins is if they steal it. And I don't think that's gonna be allowed to stand this time.

A devastating article on Sunday destroys the GOP's claims of "voter fraud" as a member of McCain's own (amusingly named) "Honest and Open Election Committee" has admitted that Republicans are unable to cite a single "documented instance of voting fraud that resulted from a phony registration form." read it here I don't McCain really has the stomach for the nasty shit done in his name. I may be wrong.

yeah, it's definitely a bummer, but we need to prepared not to concede.

happy late birthday boys and girls!

I have a HUGE "Oh Yes We Did!" sign ready for my lawn.

Speaking of icons, someone should tell Bruce that Alan Simpson introduced Cheney at a get out the vote rally in Laramie (hell, get out both votes!)* with Born to Run. I puked in my soul. *Just kidding ... there's apparently 30K folks there.

I'm guessing they don't believe the hype.

My assumptions (yes) about your beliefs are based on your constant handwringing about people supporting a swing away from the far right. How presumptuous of me. In other news, Cheney has endorsed McCain.

Do you actually live ON Bush's ranch in Crawford? Can you really be surprised at the level of enthusiasm (especially amongst Wilco fans) for an inspiring, viable alternative to the heinous neocon bullshit of the last 8 years? We've lived in your world long enough -- welcome to ours.

banana skins? really? anyone wanna confess to using this technique?

Economist's global electoral college Looks like the worldwide dweeby readership of The Economist likes Obama over McCain by 9000 to 300. My grandson lives in a hyper-right-wing-gun-toting-ethnic-hatin' household, and by the time he last left my house, we was calling me Obamamama (as opposed to just mama). oy.

.. "their efforts have been cast in the pattern of an outworn tradition. Faced by failure of credit, they have proposed only the lending of more money. Stripped of the lure of profit by which to induce our people to follow their false leadership, they have resorted to exhortations, pleading tearfully for restored confidence. They only know the rules of a generation of self-seekers. They have no vision, and when there is no vision the people perish."

Hudson Valley represent! Very happy birthday to one of my faves.

YAY!!!!! and I hope he doesn't do SNL -- that'd be stupid.

but what are the odds of that? Here's today's my-head-is-going-to-explode offering from the right Today in the Washington Post, conservative columnist Kathleen Parker suggests that Sen. John McCain

November 5th -- it's all my fault. Send it to your friends.

America is not a democracy, never has been, never will be until the popular vote counts. We're selectively socialist, and doing a piss poor job of it. I've heard about that in England ... crazy! and excellent! Why (some) Americans are so terrified of sharing the wealth so everyone can enjoy a civilized standard of living just blows my mind. I think it's that good old American "I got mine, don't worry about his" gimme gimme bullshit. The Protestant work ethic that says if you work hard you WILL succeed -- and if you haven't succeeded, you're lazy and unworthy. I am hopin

Dems Mobilize Against GOP in Ohio -- Plan Showdown at Ohio Polls Republicans intend to place 3,600 paid recruits inside Ohio polling places on Election Day to challenge the qualifications of certain voters. Today the Obama campaign told OffTheBus it intends to counter with the most massive voter protection effort Ohio has ever seen. "Democrats learned their lesson in 2004," said the high-level spokesman. or gives a shit about politics

There's an Obama interview from last fall where he says he's like a sixth cousin to Cheney. Plans to skip that family reunion. On Leno, I think.

Opie rocks the vote

No, you're barely old.
