McCain is pulling out of Wisconsin today, too. It is almost, but not quite yet, mathematically impossible for him to win.

He's down by five or six points in Florida, too, another state that's been good to Repubs lately.

A popular vote differential of six or eight percentage points will look like a landslide compared to the last couple of elections, but the electoral college vote is shaping up to be a veritable rout...

Fish on...

Irie's gotten Florida converted with the "mildly amusing" thread

That's not the point, bwp...the point is that WI was one of the many battleground states that McSame almost had to win to win th election...he had to win virtually all of them, and he's getting his ass kicked in...wait for it...

All of them.

The Electoral College vote seems to be a very abstract idea to many of those on the right, but there's nothing abstract about the fact that it is the body that actually elects the President.

Fish on...

The exit polls have been an unpredictable measure of how folks are really voting in the past. I would venture a guess that this election is going to be MUCH closer than is being predicted in the polls.

I would really be surprised if there is a difference of more than 3% in the popular vote. How that is distributed in the electoral system in anybody's guess.

A coworker and I were talking about McCain tonight and how he's possibly the worst candidate the R's could have put up this year. If Mitt Romney or Ron Paul were running right now things would be very different. Romney's business background and Paul's conservative economic ideas would get a lot of votes in the current environment.

You don't have to specify which party, you could just say that this years nominees are the worst ever. I am going to vote for Ron Paul.

The Ron Paul movement keeps gaining steam!

Close? I don't know what's happening up in the land of Oz, but here in PDX McCain yard signs and bumper stickers are MIA.

Thats cause you could get killed for putting up a McCain yard sign in woodstock. Okay, maybe not killed just beaten down with the sign before they steal it or use it to get the fire going when they burn down your house.
I remember going into Portland years back and listening to the DJ talk about the thousands they had raised to save a kitten. She ended it by saying, "thats Portland, saving the world one animal at a time."

That's funny coming from a guy who lives in Tacoma/Aroma/Glaucoma.

Woodstock is actually quite pleasant...

There are many multi-million dollar houses there, all around Reed College- the "best", most exclusive, and most expensive private college in the US.

There's plenty of $$ in Woodstock, so there's likely to be some Republicans there too...








...I would, however, recommend that you keep your McSame signs out of the Alberta Arts District where the 'real' hippies, eco-terrorists, and cat-savers live!!

Actually the hippies mostly live in the Hawthorne district.
Mayor Potter lives in Woodstock, as well as the assistant DA.

Get out of any metropolitan area and the signs change from Obama to McCain.

As I predicted last week.... that title speaks volumes..
TODDBAMA /KKIDEN '08!!!!!

As opposed to high concentrations of latte swilling pencil necked limpwristed pansies in the metropolitan areas?

Whereas the limpwrists, being in the metropolitan areas have many places to hide while engaging in their lewd and lascvious activities, without the fear of reprisal, knowing that many of them probably ARE government. Maybe thats why you are at an "undislosed location"?

Everett is a metro area, Einstein.

Duly noted Dan... I dont live in Everett anymore

I don't either.

somebody knows something about a big mess thats about to happen. Mayen calendar says that just after Obamas 4 year spell in 2012 the world is gonna end. let it be so. It may as well end in Nov when he gets elected. The economy is dead enough now to call it game over.

I live in Okanogan County and there's more Obama signs, than McCain, even in the Okanogan Valley!!!

Don't buy the lie! The Lame Stream Media is in the bag for Blowbama. Keep your tool cool and VOTE. The fat lady ain't singing yet. Unless one of you are a fat lady. If so I apologize in advance.

truly amazing.. is there no end to the Obamabots? BD closes one thread and they pick up again on another? These people are most certainly one sandwich shy of a picnic.. Be careful what you wish for, socialist weasels, it may just come to pass. The Obama Reich is not just a figment of your imagination, but a scourge that will reduce this great nation to nothing but a third world power. You who think he is the Messiah, are going to be the first ones left raped and freezing, as you are such an easy mark.. I can hear it now... "But he promised"!!!!! He said???? He led us to believe ???
He was such an eloquent speaker!!!! But... But... But....... So freakin naive...Us "knuckledraggers" will be the last to fall, if in fact we do.And even in the end we will be here to say "I TOLD YOU SO!!!"

Might I recommend the following?:

2 Percoset
2 Blocacid
1 zanax
3 shots of some very finely imported Tequila
1 vapourizer
















Tranquillo hombre. ...Tranquillo.

Dude, your paranoia is just plain creepy. It scares me to think that there are guys like you out there. I suggest you take HB's advice and get some meds. A 100 cc's of thorazine ought to do the trick. Have a nice day!

At least I'm paranoid for all the right reasons..Your afraid of people out here like me?
Why is that? I do not have the potential of destroying this country, whereas Obammy
has it... wait for it....in spades... Just chose that one to rattle your cage some more.
It's people like you that believe that anyone with differing opinions need to be medicated, therefore making them compliant and spineless, and much more easily controlled. No thanks, don't want to be a member of that flock of sheep.

I am all for differing opinions. wait for it...... Thats what being a liberal is all about. Your just as entitled to your opinion as I am mine. Do I have to like it? Nope. I just believe that McCain and Palin's way of thinking is very close minded and pretty damn scary and so was your post. You dont need to be medicated because your opinion is different than mine. You need to be medicated to get that creepy paranoia under control. Thats it. -TBJ

Are you a doctor?? who are you to diagnose me? You need a dose of STFU!

Who's yankin' whose chain now? How predictable. I will be happy to PM you my address if you would like to come over and make me STFU. And no I am not a Dr. but I play one on TV.

Heard this long ago and loved it.......Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean everyone's not out to get me.

I think what bothers me most about this present day polarization is that too many folks on BOTH sides refuse to look for merits on the other....another type of ignore button. How can truth be based on one view only? Now THAT's scary.

Tom, I never heard how the operation went....you doing OK?

EDIT: Spell checkers are great, but they don't correct for wrong words, if they're spelled correctly.....duh

Dennis, I never had surgery. 5 months in the gym and physical therapy did the trick for now. I am in the best shape I have been in since I was in college. May need a new hip someday but hopefully not for another 20 years. Thanks for asking.-T

Ah Man, that is gr8 news!

McCain is not campaigning in this state. You have to write in for a sign. There is not much of Obama signs in seattle. I drive through the getto on a regular basis. There are LESS signs overall this election.
