That's what I'm hoping. Even if Obama wins OH and FL, I don't want them to be the deciding factor. Out of pure spite.

I'm getting to that point as well.

"What's that, Ohio? You voted for McCain? No biggie.. we didn't need you. Not like it was a big surprise anyway - you have a history of doing stupid things. Now, Thanksgiving is coming-up, and you get to sit at the 'special' children's table. My new best friend here, Colorado, will be carving the Turkey over at the big-boy table. Have fun with your sippie cup."

As I've said before, the McCain campaign is all about the news cycle. That is it and thankfully, the McCain people are fully detached from reality so they are going to be preceived as gimmicky. McCain, as Obama surrogates are saying, is erratic. Damn near everything about this campaign has been embarrassing in recent weeks.

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.

I hope.

I honestly don't know what I'll do if he loses. Or rather, it's stolen.

I think this is the same for a lot of people. I know I will probably never step foot back in the USA unless I get deported from Japan or something. If another election is stolen by the neocons and they somehow get away with it I will do everything I can to avoid any action that benefits America in anyway.

Is McCain taking a pledge to serve only one term? Hrm....

McCain thinks of the ultimate way to recapture every news cycle along with voter attention, and drops out of the race! It'll put him back on top!

Anybody concerned about Obama's safety if he is elected. This truly scares me that one of these nuts will try and do something.

People don't like to talk about it, but it is a worry. I hope the Secret Service knows what its doing. They must know he is a bigger risk than others.

If Obama is elected I DO NOT want these conservative nuts moving to Canada and defiling this country. Therefore we should post a sign on Canada's border saying " Gay marriage is good, guns are bad, and we are pro choice."

McCain will just try to link Obama to black panther extremists because Obama has the best economic plan and his George Bush policies aren't fooling voters.

Like I've said since it came down to two. This is America's chance to pull together and reject neocon ideals and admit that we're all in this together, or to say "every man for themselves."

I fully expect America will fail, sadly.

Ill put my political hat on and say that if they have a megaton they are wasting it tommorow. Friday is the day they need something to take attention off of the TrooperGate findings.

Supposedly the McCain campaign is doing another one of their patented newscycle-winning moves tomorrow and has alerted the press to be ready. Should be AWESOME!

I don't doubt it, as Friday is the day of the Troopergate investigation info.

He couldn't be that stupid.

I would think it would either be some new proposal or some new endorsement like Colin Powell or something of that stature.

I'm not sure if there were rumors that he was actually going to do it, but there were definitely calls from supporters asking him to. He always seemed really opposed to the idea though.

Elected? Shit, I'm worried about what might happen if he's up big in the polls on Nov. 1. It doesn't help that Palin and McCain are basically endorsing this crap :(

From the comment section of http://www.politico.com/blogs/jonat...camp_making_news_in_the_morning.html#comments

Between 8:45 PM and 9:15 PM tonight (Oct 8) on Intrade, someone just bet a LOT of money against Obama winning the presidency. And I mean a LOT. His stock, which has been over 70 for a couple of days now and at 76 most of the time today dipped down to 64 or so in those 20 minutes under heavy betting before recovering immediately after 9:15 to 73... Very strange.. is there something someone knows?? What is the news tomorrow, JMart?
Click to expand...

We all knew this election would get incredibly ugly. I suppose now's as good a time as any. Jesus, between McCain's shenanigans and the swing voters stricken from the records, I'm getting a bit worried.

Canada unveils new ELITE Plan to assist Americans to move there should McCain win

:lol

I can't/won't leave the country if McCain wins (not leaving my family behind.. sorry), but I will no longer care what happens to it. If we go to another Depression, tough tittie, Americans - boiled Bible makes for a lovely stew, I hear. If the rest of the world decides to team-up and keep in-check an out-of-countrol country run by idiots.. oh well.

We've had our chance over and over again to right this ship, to do the right thing, to do the logical thing.. and, to steal Gephardt's words, we've failed miserably.

I'm sure its just going to be something similar to the Keating video Obama released (ie, stuff we already know). McCain is probably just trying to make a larger event out of it.

Whatever the McCain camp announcement is, does anyone think Obama doesn't have something ready to respond with? Team O has been on the ball so much these days it astounds me.

They'll just scream ACORN ACORN ACORN!

Look, if you really think fake people are gonna show up & vote then be there to challenge them . . . maybe even arrest them.

Just the fact that the dems always want more people to vote the GOP always wants less people to vote is telling.

You are all so fucking paranoid, it's ridiculous. Nothing they could come out with at this point, including a supposed "Whitey" video, could possibly be more damaging than the footage we have of Palin.

No I'm familiar with the story. And perhaps if he had did it at the beginning of his campaign or fairly early on it might have been able to be some sort of selling point but at this stage pledging one term or doing something silly like quitting the senate ala Bob Dole would be laughed at and ridiculed in this environment.

I agree completely, but when has that stopped them before?

That's not important anyways, allot of of are worried about the Voter wipe story. 30k voters off the list here in CO, that's totally fucked up.

It's nothing big against Obama. If anything it's a policy thing. All they said is "You'll have something to talk about". That's basically a meaningless statement.

I'm pessimistic, but I'm not paranoid. I may say things like "this race is still pretty close in the swing states and there's still a month to go," but if Obama loses it's not going to be because the Republicans fixed the polling stations. The voter registration increase is too big to be able to wipe out that easily.

Edit: God damn it my sarcasm detector is misfiring on all cylinders today. You all suck.
