So Sarah Palin may already be responsible for dragging the McCain campaign downturn that is now seemingly in free fall

But now she is taking it out out on others

Just ask Manny Legace who tripped on the red carpet put out for Palin...

Whose next?

On election night, is she going to come out, hand in hand with McCain. Then push him out the way to claim the throne of the Republican base.
Maybe some members of the Christian right, Hannity and Co and they can all worship her and crown her say like Napoleon.

At this point I am not ruling it out

The country has seen some wild and crazy new stories this election cycle, but this one must this the most bizarre one of them all...

according to Fox News VP now the race is "really" over

Is this trying to help a candidate by faking racism? is this where the country is? or what McCain supporters feel they need to do to win? ...

Not a good example of the republican base..

and now "Joe the plumber" is on Fox News as a expert on the economy.

How can one network shoot so low?

More people going crackers before Nov 4th

thankfully it's not just me and Larry David

M.J Rosenburg feels the same way

Scott McClellan

More republicans jumping on the Obama bandwagon...


Whose next, Barney the White House dog?

New Polls - Run as fast as you can

So new poll numbers out today make for interesting reading, amazing out much time is now spent looking and analyzing these numbers.

Yet three polls stand out

Montana which has Obama up 44 -40, Is this a new shift that mirrors the new swing in North Dakota?

and Indiana which has this startling poll, and this one which seems more likely.

First off let's throw out the +10, Obama winning Indiana by 10 I think is a big in the flights of fantasy. The +2 seems more likely, but at least puts the state in a toss up.

Obama's strong showing in the primary should not be discounted here, there is a big media buy for the Chicago and Indianapolis market that seem to be helping.

Maybe a trip to Evansville, IN might help the numbers swing left? ...

But yet Democrats should be amazed that numbers like the +10 in Indiana are even polled in the first place.

So while waiting do read the excellent Mudflats blog about Alaskan politics...

A great read, and I give the site credit for reminding me of this classic Chris Matthew gem

It's getting too close

Twelve days to the election and you can feel something different in the air, it might just be the shifting of the sewage works a few miles away or it might be the aroma of hope,

However, for now I am going with the sewage work.

I do not want to get my hope dashed (again)

Remember 2000

And 2004

Not good nights for Democrats

Therefore, with twelve days to go, I have to start bloging to fill the hours until the election, with out going crazy.

Larry David explained the phenomenon I have
