So I saw the polls today

All monarchs are evil and illegitimately rule. There, I said it.

One other thing to consider is the fact that more and more people are forgoing landline phones in favor of all cel.  Many of my employees have only their mobiles, which aren't listed in directories.  Much of O's support is from this age group.  Historically, that demographic has low (very low) turnout, but I haven't seen that issue addressed anywhere.  Regardless, I'll be hoping for bad weather along the Eastern Seaboard 11/4.

Exit polls are different, but I'd hate to go to bed and find a "Dewey Defeats Truman" waiting for me.

You can't mention Kucinich without mentioning his way-out-of-his-league wife.  I believe it is an internet political law.

And I am the only one so far to adhere to that iron- taffy-clad rule.

Matter of fact, I'll provide a photo:


Get that boy some lifts!

OK, one more:

Isn't there a law against women having sex with lower animals....

Weren't the Dems crying a river in the last election because exit polls in states like Ohio were wrong?

Back around 1980 or so, the late syndicated columnist Mike Royko wrote a column about exit polls, in which he urged everyone to lie if they were asked who they voted for as they came out of the polling place.

Didn't make him popular with the pollsters.

That could conceivably be a very dangerous thing to do this time around.

If folks lie to the pollsters and lie by saying they voted for Obama.

Polls indicate he's a strong winner everywhere as a result.

Official results are he gets creamed.

Obamaniacs freak out, claim the fix is in. Insuing riots and other nastiness could be really, really bad.

Yes, Dennis the K has had the courage to be wrong, consistently, for two decades.  Wasn't he the hippie prodigy who drove Cleveland into bankruptcy?

I usually vote straight ticket libertarian as a protest vote unless there is downballot contest I'm interested in.  I live in Texas, so I can do whatever I want.  It'll still be a red state.  This year I will be voting for McCain.  Strictly so that the popular vote count doesn't amount to another four years of listening to whinging about "stolen elections" and "popular majorities"...

Something tells me that even if it isn't close, if Obama loses we are in for some rough times.  I may even wish I was back in Iraq.  Could be safer.

What does this all mean?  It means that Palin, while a great pick for McCain, will have little effect on the votes he gathers.  It will still be President Obama come January 20.

Ah, come on, you're being premature.  Last night's Fox Report indicate a tiny gain in favor of McCain.  Not much (1%) but the tren is in the right direction.
There's a significant number of people saying they'll vote for Obama who won't; they say it to be "politically correct."
The election is close, real close, and too close to call right now. 
But we should be optimistic.

As opposed to Obama WINNING?
