That's pretty pathetic considering what they're willing to pay for Palin's clothes and make-up.

What's pathetic is the timing.

What's pathetic is the timing of the new Troopergate panel in Alaska coming out November 3rd to say Palin's innocent.

State	Obama (D)	McCain (R)	RCP Average	RCP Status	2004	2000
Florida (27)	48.6	46.8	Obama +1.8	Toss Up	Bush +5.0	Bush +0.1
Virginia (13)	49.8	45.5	Obama +4.3	Toss Up	Bush +8.2	Bush +8.1
Ohio (20)	49.0	45.8	Obama +3.2	Toss Up	Bush +2.1	Bush +3.5
Colorado (9)	50.8	45.3	Obama +5.5	Leaning	Bush +4.7	Bush +8.4
Nevada (5)	49.6	43.4	Obama +6.2	Leaning	Bush +2.6	Bush +3.5
Pennsylvania (21)	51.3	43.7	Obama +7.6	Leaning	Kerry +2.5	Gore +4.2
New Mexico (5)	50.3	43.0	Obama +7.3	Leaning	Bush +0.7	Gore +0.1
Minnesota (10)	51.6	41.8	Obama +9.8	Leaning	Kerry +3.5	Gore +2.4

McCain needs to win 70 of these (above) 110 to win, if he loses any of these (below) add that to the 70.

47.6	48.2	McCain +0.6	Toss Up	Bush +12.4	Bush +12.8
Missouri (11)	47.5	48.0	McCain +0.5	Toss Up	Bush +7.2	Bush +3.3
Indiana (11)	46.2	47.6	McCain +1.4	Toss Up	Bush +20.7	Bush +15.7
Georgia (15)	45.8	49.8	McCain +4.0	Toss Up	Bush +16.6	Bush +11.7
Montana (3)	45.0	48.8	McCain +3.8	Toss Up	Bush +20.5	Bush +25.0
Arizona (10)	45.8	49.3	McCain +3.5	Toss Up	Bush +10.5	Bush +6.3

South Dakota (3)	42.0	50.3	McCain +8.3	Leaning	Bush +21.5	Bush +22.7
West Virginia (5)	42.5	51.0	McCain +8.5	Leaning	Bush +12.9	Bush +6.3
Arkansas (6)	43.0	52.3	McCain +9.3	Leaning	Bush +9.7	Bush +5.4

Obama need to win just 9 more electoral votes than Bush did in 2004.  Minnesota and Pennsylvania are the only ones risky right now, that he might not keep from Kerry in 2004.

The township of Dixville Notch, NH will have their results shortly.  A record turn out of 27 voters are expected to show up.  They traditionally vote Republican, with a 70-80% margin.  So the day might start off well for McCain.

Edit: First Precinct Reporting:

Obama won 15-6.  Wow.  They haven't gone Democrat since 1968, Humphrey's Campaign.

WHAT?

Not just socialists, terrorist sympathizers:

“Do they think that terrorists have all of a sudden become the good guys?” Palin asked of the Democratic leadership at a rally on the state capitol steps. “And changed their minds? No, the terrorists still seek to destroy America and her allies and all that it is that we stand for: freedom, tolerance, equality.”

Oh dear.

Remember how Palin refused to cooperate with the panel that was predominantly Republican and unanimously found her guilty?  Remember how she started a 2nd panel of her own so she could pull the strings?  That 2nd one timed their report for election eve and conveniently found her innocent.  That's seriously her last minute surprise.  It's hilarious.

I feel like we're all Scooby Doo and the gang and every time McCain or Palin say something stupid we just pull a ghost's mask off and catch them every time.  "And we would've gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for those kids and that mangy internet fact-czeching!"

Later in the night when you find out that we have either our first half-Kenyan president or the biggest comeback/upset in American election history, take a picture or record a short video with a camera or phone, and e-mail them to me at electionreaction@gmail.com so I can make a little montage of people cheering, crying, laughing, cursing god, high fiving, dancing, banging their heads against the wall, opening champagne, and all other forms of celebrating and/or giving up on life. You were already going to be doing all this, so just take one photo while you do.

Anybody who sends me a photo or video will get an e-mail later with the montage.

Please repost this on your MySpace or Facebook or whatever else you use to get your spam on.

Thank you,
