MSNBC had best let Olbermann lead that night–since his gleefull smirking and giggling will be the only REAL excitement. I’m guessing we’ll know Barack Steve Obama has it in the bag by 7:05PM EST?

Heh, if I weren’t so excited about voting myself, I’d say Mike Allen called it at 11:34 AM EDT on 10/17/08.

For perhaps the first time, I have to take strong exception to a TBogg post.

First, I find the boxing clip in really poor taste.

And, what is more important, I find overconfidence to be both uncalled for and genuinely misplaced. The polls are far too inconsistent and unreliable to justify any measure of overconfidence, which even in the best of circumstances is never an attractive trait.

I read today that one of the largest betting parlors in Ireland paid off all the Obama bettors. The thinking is, the odds are off the chart now, and if they get the money in their hands they likely will bet on something with an unknown ending….(last odds on Obama 1-9)now off the chart.

You know what I think is an attractive trait? Running up the score. Particularly with these twits that we’re playing against. We’ll take your massive voter fraud that could rend the fabric of democracy and ram it up your tailpipe.

Also, it would be worthwhile and exciting to see if the Dems can push it to 60 Senate seats.

Also also, a huge majority in the House.

Hell, I went through that in 1984. I had a date to see Hall & Oates and hoped to miss the election being called for Reagan, but before I could even leave to pick my date up, it was over.

Yeah, the date was lousy too. Hall & Oates were good though.

I like your style ploeg; running up the score is exactly what I want to see. I want to see Bill O’Reilly’s head explode that night, on national TV. I want to hear Rush Limbaugh break down into tears on his radio show. I want Hannity to choke up and admit it, that he is a worthless hack.

But I won’t get any of those things because as soon as it is clear Obama has won, these bastards will be hard at work trying to do the exact same thing they did to Clinton when he was in office; gin up worthless charges. And if they can’t find any dirt, they’ll make it up (see Foster, Vince – killed by Hillary and Bill, etc.). Not this time assholes, we know your playbook.

Network news executives said they are preparing for an unusual Election Night challenge: How to be honest with the audience, and still keep them tuned in, if the race between John McCain and Barack Obama is effectively decided before most Americans have finished dinner.

And this is a problem because…? The neworks could run the same crap they normally broadcast, and at least half of America would never even notice.

Ah, the smoldering ruins of our American democracy, trashed by the Bush/GOP thugs in 2000 and 2004. 2008?

O/T: William Ayers was no “domestic terrorist.” This is just another lie perpetrated by McCain and Palin and their right-wing sound machine. William Ayers had been a peaceful anti-Vietnam war protestor in the late 1960s until he got so frustrated in his inability to stop the American terrorism against the Vietnamese people that he and others resorted to vandalism and property destruction as a form of protest. In Chicago, they blew up a statue (twice!). This was a statue dedicated to the policemen that had been active in the ongoing brutal suppression of union organizers in the Chicago area in 1866. This was vandalism and property destruction. No one, to my knowledge, was “terrorized.” Not the right-wingers who supported the war on Vietnam, nor the Congressmen who voted to fund the war. The U. S. war on the Vietnamese people continued on, unabated. I was an anti-Vietnam war protestor myself in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Anyone with a conscience was an anti-Vietnam war protestor back then.

However, John McCain was a terrorist in Vietnam. He bombed Vietnamese peasants in the northern part of Vietnam from 25,000 feet in the sky. It was a cowardly and vicious act. These bombings were war crimes and acts of terror.
Bush is the biggest terrorist in the 21st century, with his many acts of terror and aggression against the Afghani and Iraqi people. Bush has terrorized over one million Iraqis into their graves. Bush is a war criminal. McCain has been cheerleading and supporting Bush terrorism in Afghanistan and Iraq. McCain has even advocated using military terror against Iran, which his infamous “Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran.”

Today William Ayers is respected education professor in the Chicago area. He was appointed to serve on the board of directors of the Woods Fund of Chicago, the same educational foundation board as Senator Barak Obama by William Annenberg, the former U. S. Ambassador to England under President Ronald Reagan.

Mr. Annenberg created the Annenberg Foundation, which sponsored the brilliant and innovative “French in Action” language learning series which has appeared on PBS television for many years. This is the same Annenberg Foundation also sponsors the current PBS television show, Washington Week in Review.

…And the same Annenberg who at one point in the ’70’s owned more Israel Bonds than any other person. Not exactly the sort who pals around with Islamoterrorists….
