I don't feel bad for Palin. I mean when this President Sarkozy brings up that "documentary" NAILYN PALYN (Hustler's new Palin-theme Porno Movie), she clearly laughs and says "yeah it was great!"
Yea, the more I see her the more she does seem that she doesn't have a clue. In this case I guess maybe ignorance is bliss.

According to Chuck Todd on MSNBC, tomorrow the WSJ (Wall Street Journal) will be releasing it' "final" poll. (I still have a gut feeling that these polls will be way off, but we'll see)
He also noted that even IF McCain took all of the toss up states, he still wouldn't win. Music to my ears.

As far as the Az poll, that's not enouraging to be barely ahead in your home state.
I am just waiting to see what turns this topic of conversation will take on Tuesday and Wednesday. You know, will there be any surprises, or will it be over more quickly than we think? Will it be nail biter?

Here's a sad thing. I don't think John McCain will survive the next 4 years. Did you notice how much physical power he had to mobilize in the three debates. OK, in the third debate, obviously the chairs weren't really comfortable, so he had to move all the time. In the second debate, when Obam spoke, he was wandering around aimlessly, as if he coulnd't focus. And in the first debate, after 20 minutes or so he had to force himself to smile:
Joe The Plumber Ambushed In Ohio Opposing Plumbers Shout At Republican Darling
POSTED: 8:35 pm EST November 2, 2008
WLWT in Cincinnati reported that Joe Wurzelbacher made a campaign appearance with U.S. Rep. Steve Chabot, R - Ohio, and a group of plumbers who support Chabot's opponent approached Wurzelbacher.
Video shows how one plumber lost his cool and started taunting Wurzelbacher.
"Hey, Joe, get a license. Joe, get a license! Joe, get a license! Pay your taxes. Pay your taxes," the man yelled as a couple dozen people looked on.
A Chabot supporter ended up shoving the yelling protester out of the way and the two had to be separated by others, WLWT reported.
No one was hurt or arrested.
Court documents show Wurzelbacher owes nearly $1,200 in back taxes. Wurzelbacher, who questioned Obama during a campaign stop on Sunday, acknowledged he doesn't have a plumber's license, saying he doesn't need one because he works for someone else. But a city building inspection official says Wurzelbacher still would need to be a licensed apprentice or journeyman to work in Toledo, and he's not.
Joe the Skinhead 11.02.08 -- 4:56PM By Josh Marshall
When he was just the topic du jour because of his question to Barack Obama back in the neighborhood in Ohio, that was one thing. But "Joe the Plumber" is now actively campaigning with and for John McCain, appearing on stage with him at multiple events, etc. He has become a part of McCain's campaign, like any other surrogate.
So here "Joe" is on TV just about an hour ago saying that people shouldn't vote for Obama because he doubts Obama's "loyalty to America".
I guess saying Obama reminded him of Sammy Davis, Jr. wasn't bad enough. But isn't it time someone ask McCain whether he's really willing to associate with this extremist?
Watching Joe the Plumber reminds me of Mike Judge's IDIOCRACY. You know, that comedy where the idiots overbreed and a thousand years later, a lazy-ass mediocre-intelligent librarian (Luke Wilson) from 2000s is the smartest man in 3000s America (who've elected a pro wrestler as President.)
That future, where speaking clear proper English is seen as "faggish" and "pompous," is a fantastical hyperbole pisser by Judge on the Anti-Intellectualism in America.
What is wrong with being intelligent? That is what I want to ask DoubleJ and Freddie C. and Appleonya.
Hell, it took an intellectual like William Buckley to help clear out the American Conservatism of the 1940s, stocked mostly of John Birch Society nutjobs and Anti-Semites, and make it respectable and legitimate.
It took an intellectual like Buckley, NOT Sarah Palin NOT Dubya NOT Joe the fucking Plumber, but a smart guy to allow someone like Reagan and Dubya to be elected President decades later.
I mean, the Republicans are asking to get FUCKED when they call George Will a R.I.N.O. (Republican In Name Only). I mean how fucking retarded has that movement become?
A campaign schedule is brutal. You are in a number of cities in a day, getting there mostly by plane. You have little or no sleep and you are constantly "on".
And if you think that a campaign schedule and four years in the White House will age Senator Obama, imagine what it will do to a 72 year old cancer survivor.
Actually, I don't think so far, Obama's aged that much, but I agree that every President after four years seem to age considerably. They show a few clips of Bush from before his last election and he looks really young compared to how he looks now. Man, if that's the case, I've decided not to run.

Can you imagine tomorrow evening what not only the U.S., but the World will be talking about? It's amazing what an interest all countries have in this U.S. election. Absolutely everyone is thrilled to finally get rid of Bush.
Oh, and let me add:
"Na na na na, na na na na...hey hey hey...goodbye!"

In the barrage of literature I received over the weekend was a flyer, designed for newly registered voters, from the Obama campaign. It's one thing to register record numbers of voters, it's another thing to get them to the polls.
The flyer advises:
1. If you are in line to vote when the polls close, stay in line because you have the right to vote. (Believe it or not, there have been instances where new voters - particularly young voters- were told to go home at 8 pm although they had been in line).
2. Bring ID. This should be observed by all voters although many of us know the voting officials at our local polls.
3. You have the right to vote even if you owe taxes, have unpaid bills, parking tickets and overdue taxes. They can't hassle you at the polls for this. (Apparently, uninformed people of meager financialk means are told that they can be arrested at the polls if they try to vote).
I am scheduled to volunteer 4 hours at my local poll, the Fighting 27th Precinct of the township at the east Shore Baptist Church. It's funny that while we demand separation of church and state, the most fundamental act of government participation frequently takes place on church property.
Also, as always,bars and pubs are closed during election hours in Pennsylvania. Ant other states do this?

The bars are closed?? I don't think we do that in NY, although I never tried to buy a drink after voting.
Klyd, I just read in the paper this morning that there have been misleading flyers dropped on people's doorsteps in the middle of the night. In poorer neighborhoods, they threaten arrest if you try to vote and have unpaid parking tickets or taxes. In predominantly Jewish neighborhoods, there have been flyers that claim Obama's leanings towards Palestine and then warn Jewish voters not to be fooled like they were in the 1930s. And there was also one claiming that because of the expected voter turnout, Republicans are to vote on Tuesday and Democrats on Wednesday!
