I like how Stewart called out the media for spouting nonsense time and time again. I've always said Obama does great in town halls. They've inflated McCain so much that if he doesn't own the debate he comes off as the loser.

Seriously, McCain was atrocious in that format. He jokes were incredibly awkward, and he just came off as creepy and desperate. I maintain the only reason he liked that joke of a format is because in his mind it was supposed to go exactly the same as his campaign tour stops, where people are all forced to love him and given signs telling them when to laugh.

Tamanon, thanks for trying to start a spoiler tagging trend for TDS/Colbert! Seriously appreciated.

Everyone else, please pick up the torch. Some of us are on the west coast, and while our states may not be battlegrounds, we're still nice and bright blue.

I've tried to some Republicans I know at the conservative site I referenced above, but they don't listen. Hell, they can't even be bothered to talk about the issues. It's all Obama hate and Obama stereotypes along with "he has no plan!".....but when you point it out to them.... somehow "he still has no plan!" "Socialist!", etc..... They also think Palin is a brilliant choice and George Bush is one of the best presidents we've ever had. Go figure.

So what do they think of the fact that virtually everyone in the GOP is running as far away from Bush as possible now? Hell, McCain criticized "Bush and Cheney" last night, he's been totally absent during the whole campaign, and he wasn't even invited to the convention.

He'd not bad for being a conservative on MSNBC but Joe definitely has a thin skin. He gets a little righteous and The Colbert Report is the last place you can do that.

NEW YORK - The New York Times reports that tens of thousands of eligible voters have been removed from rolls or blocked from registering in at least six swing states, and the voters' exclusion appears to violate federal law.

The newspaper says its findings are based on reviews of state records and Social Security data.

The Times says voters appear to have been purged by mistake, not because of any intentional violations by election officials or coordinated efforts by any party.

The newspaper says it identified apparent problems in Colorado, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Nevada and North Carolina. It says some states are improperly using Social Security data to verify new voters' registration applications, and others may have broken rules that govern removing voters from the rolls within 90 days of a federal election.

Saw that earlier today, loved it. I'm in there with a fake account, subtly turning-up the heat, feeding the despair. A factoid here, a false hope there.. it's been fun, especially lately.

Also finally saw that video of the delusional McCain supporters at the rally in Ohio, and I've gotta say.. the idea of those idiots crying on Election Night kinda turns me on. I'm a real homo, but I could maybe kinda fap to the imbecile blonde crying at election night results.
Camo cap guy would probably have to be crying there too, if I want it to really work.

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) made an overnight change in the homeowner bailout he proposed at Tuesday’s presidential debate, making it more generous to financial institutions and more costly for taxpayers.

McCain's staff says it was always meant that way.

When McCain sprung his surprise idea at the start of the debate in Nashville, his campaign posted details online of his American Homeownership Resurgence Plan, which would direct the government to buy up bad home mortgages, allowing strapped people to keep their property.

The document posted and e-mailed by the McCain campaign on Tuesday night says at the end of its first full paragraph: “Lenders in these cases must recognize the loss that they’ve already suffered.”

So the government would buy the mortgages at a discounted rate, reflecting the declining value of the mortgage paper.

But when McCain reissued the document on Wednesday, that sentence was missing, to the dismay of many conservatives.

That would mean the U.S. would pay face value for the troubled documents, which was the main reason Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) gave for opposing the plan.

More detail here:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27093919/page/2/

In Michigan, some 33,000 voters were removed from the rolls in August, a figure that is far higher than the number of deaths in the state during the same period — about 7,100 — or the number of people who moved out of the state — about 4,400, according to data from the Postal Service.

In Colorado, some 37,000 people were removed from the rolls in the three weeks after July 21. During that time, about 5,100 people moved out of the state and about 2,400 died, according to postal data and death records.

Stolen literally will be the only way this happens now. If Obama doesn't win with polls like this. This is going to get seriously ugly.

Remember, Dem Secretary of States control Ohio, Michigan and Nevada board of elections. It might not all be evil, just fuck-ups. Just one more thing Obama will overcome.

Politico is hinting McCain is going to do something BIG tomorrow. wtf is this weeks stunt going to be?

McCain camp making news in the morning
On what, they won't say.

"We'll have something to talk about," is all a campaign aide would allow.

Check back again in this space or over on our front-page in the morning.
