“The Party’s Over” by Zina Saunders

Me, on Monday:
… after McCain gets creamed more badly than any presidential candidate has ever been creamed in living memory.
And … survey says:
Barack Obama’s 52% of the popular vote is the best Democratic performance in 40 years, and the best of any candidate in either party in 20 years.
Speaking of living memory, does anyone remember […]

Will tonight see the expected blowout for Obama? Or a crazy comeback by McCain? We’re gonna do some live blogging for a while, providing some snarky analysis and bad pop culture references for that ass. Right now it’s just me, but Matt will be joining in soon enough. I am flipping between CNN and Fox […]

There’s something about this election that invites hyperbole. But to call what we’re doing today the moment of truth may not be much of a hyperbolic stretch. I’m not really referring to the result of the election, per se. But rather, to what the result will tell us about ourselves as a […]

That’s my prediction, a combination of actual poll-watching and gut feeling. I still have my doubts about PA, but losing there still puts Obama up 270-268. If this happens, even a 5 million popular vote win is going to be swept under the carpet in favor of “how close it really was.” […]

Presumably McCain’s secret service protection will […]

Obama Winning Over the Jewish Vote:
Jewish voters nationwide have grown increasingly comfortable with voting for Barack Obama for president since the Illinois senator secured the Democratic nomination in June. They now favor Obama over John McCain by more than 3 to 1, 74% to 22%.

Maybe McCain will win the dentists:
Jerry: And then he asked the […]

(1) The Non-Ownership Society
Sarah Palin, distancing herself from the very concept of ownership:
“This whole thing with the wardrobe, you know I have tried to just ignore it because it is so ridiculous, but I am glad now that Elisabeth brought it up, cause it gives me an opportunity without the filter of the media to […]

Wouldn’t it be funny if John McCain carried just a single state? Namely, the state in which he’s spent most of his time during this campaign: the state of denial.
Here’s a prime example of McCain at his best:
Republican John McCain has said his campaign to become US president is “doing fine” despite polls showing […]
