Al Franken hasn't lost yet. He's only down 10k with about 600 precincts left.

Florida too.

Mike Murphy's getting wasted on MSNBC.

McCain had no chance after Ohio fell. That was the end. I can't beieve Al Franken is keeping it close so far. Jesse The Body should've ran.

Done.

I was in the second row at the Palin rally in Dubuque Iowa this afternoon. It was a much larger crowd than McCain's in La Crosse. The energy level was much greater; there were faintings. Hank Williams Jr did the Anthem and the Liberal Media song. He then stuck around for Palin's entire speech clapping along and making goofy gestures to whatever she said. The speech was good. Lines about helping handicapped kids and abortions got the biggest response from the crowd. With my position in the throng, Sarah Palin's stump speech, and a backdrop of Todd, Hank, and Chuck Grassley, it was a pretty weird way to spend an afternoon.

Did anybody ever figure out what that dick was talking about?

Who reacted with laughter? Was this one of those things that you thought you read somewhere?

Was the part where he based his vote on the celebrities encoded in a different language on your computer?

I can see you've put plenty of thought into your vote.

I must have missed the racist message in Atlas Shrugged.

Oh, we're talking about different Woodrow Wilsons. Sorry.

Woodrow Wilson was a fuckface.

Prediction: Barack Obama will win Florida.

Hell of a speech here from Bill Clinton.

Well, that's only a half-true assessment of the scenario, really. Yes, my individual tax rate would go down under Obama (I'm at approx $54,000/yr, so firmly in the middle class). However, I also work for a giant insurance/financial corporation. Thus, if corporate tax rates are hiked, as well as tax rates for the rich, that would likely not benefit me; I'm pretty sure that the Company would choose a higher profit, as well as higher management bonuses and salaries, than to keep me on board. Know what I mean? I keep forgetting, when the Obama tax plan was the code for corporations and wealthy people in the 1990s, did everybody in the financial sector lose their jobs? Or was there more employment and prosperity at that point?

Panthermatt: One easy way to make a decision is to ask yourself what's more important to you, actually having more money in your wallet (Obama) or being told that you have more money in your wallet (McCain).

Why is it bad to to tax/punish the wealthiest but its cool for a person working overtime too long to be doing it largely for the government?

Has Matt Drudge thrown in the towel?

The vaunted Pocomoke Tattler may have those "quotes."

Barney Frank is a single congressman, not grand fucking Pooh-Bah of the country. Newt Gingrich and Tom Delay held even more power in their days and it didn't destroy the world or whatever. What to expect (in reality, not in an overactive and very afraid imagination) from Frank/Obama: A sensible marijuana policy. It is something that both have shown interest in. It would free up a lot of money and add more freedoms to the country so the "conservatives" might not like it. If you're going to be afraid of something, though, you might as well fear something that might actually happen.

That'll be a warning for talking about the actual tax policies rather than the made-up ones.

Fire up the base? Check.

That was just another gotcha video.

Is Alaska dumb enough to reelect him, again?
