holy crap. The electoral votes site has McCain 270, Obama 268. Now THAT is ****ing close. At that range, any state, and I mean ANY state, no matter how small, switching would change the outcome of the election. I think it's time to grab the popcorn and watch the show....

I don't think Virginia has gone Democratic for over 40 years. I mean, I was alive at the time but I can't say that I remember watching those election results as they rolled in. I do miss Walter Cronkite.

The last time Virginia broke Democratic in a presidential election was in 1964 when Johnson steamrolled Goldwater.

Well then, I was right. I was probably asleep as those results were coming in. My father voted for Goldwater and he reminds people of that whenever he gets the chance.
- On another note, congressional approval ratings are hovering around 20% right now [pollingreport.com] and yet the democrats are projected to pick up ~5 seats in the Senate. On a generic congressional vote the democrats are polling +4% ahead of the republicans.
The politics of character assassination are pretty lively this election cycle. I just picked up this tidbit where Sarah Palin says 'Yes, I think I will see Jesus come back to earth in my lifetime.' That's certainly going to appeal to the Republican base.

Also, according to todays Gallup Poll Obama closes to within 1% of McCain.
A nice rolling-average .gif I found. It succinctly shows the situation before the DEM convention, there bounce, then the GOP convention and there bounce. Now it's back about the same place as before the conventions. Polling in the last week has obviously been overall positive for Obama.
Gotta love how fickle the public is. We love Obama! We love McCain! We're not sure!
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

ABC Breaking News: Fired Official says Palin lied in ABC interview
"She's not telling the truth when she told ABC neither she nor her husband pressured me to fire Trooper Wooten," said Walt Monegan, the Alaskan official whose dismissal by Sarah Palin is the focus of a state investigation known as "Troopergate". "And she's not telling the truth to the media about her reasons for firing me."

Yeah, and Monday Palin decided she's not going to cooperate with the investigation at all, claiming that the investigation has been hijacked by the Obama campaign. It's a bi-partisan investigation that the Republican-controlled Alaska state legislature voted for and Palin supported, and now she's refusing to cooperate.
