My laugh of the day comes courtesy of Fox News (imagine that). To prove what a "battleground state" Pennsylvania is, the "reporter" asks everyone in a diner to raise their hands if they're voting for McCain. Crickets, some tumbleweed. Then he says raise 'em if you're voting for Obama. Every hand in the place goes up. At which point the Fox stooge turns to the camera and with a straight face says, "See, it's split." You can hear the patrons in the background scoffing at him.
Pennsylvania has long been considered a tight race but today six different polls (including Fox's own) show Obama may be pulling ahead in the Keystone State.
OBVIOUSLY THERE WAS NOTHING TO SHOW THE FRONT AND THE SIDES .. WHERE THERE MIGHT BE MCCAIN SUPPORTERS.. THIS MAN CANNOT BE THAT STUPID. THERE MUST PLACES WHERE PEOPLE RAISED THEIR HANDS THAT WASNT CAPTURED. MCCAIN SUPPORT IS IN RURAL AREAS.. I GUESS IM RUINING YOUR LAUGH AND YOUR OBSCURE CYNICISM.. YOU WANNA ERASE THIS TOO.. THEN ACCUSE FOX OF BEING BIASED... SOB WEBER?!

Ummm...isn't a bank that lobbies you to pass a sweetheart law for them called a "special interest group"? Joe's son was a twenty-something year-old lobbyist, and then suddenly he's a Vice President at MNBA? check this out if you dare.
"support": as the stupid Fox guy says, it's NE Pa., so it's pretty bad if Sen. Obama gets almost all of the votes, white votes, in Scranton !
And good news, McCain, despite practically living in the beautiful state of Ohio, will LOSE it to Sen. Obama! We've got that nasty cheat on the run and he's as scared as a vampire from a silver bullet [or is it wooden stake? - close to witchcraft, maybe ask Phony Palin or her 'minister?' ]

Oct 1, internet "chatter" update:
McCain: Black wall street mogals are responsible for Wall Street meltdown and stand to make billions; McCain won the debate from last week; McCain suspended campaign to lobby for bailout; McCain unsuspended campaign to oppose bailout; McCain's position cannot currently be articulated; Footage of Sarah Palin practicing her debate skills outdoors in what appears to a Santa constume; You Tube proves republicans are all about regulation (You tube can also be used to support the notion man and dinosaurs cohabitated earth at the same time which Palin may cite in debate).
Obama Is loosing in key states and only the liberal media putting forward the great lie; Mother in "braclet war" hates Obama; Being black gives an unfair advantage to Obama; ACORN getting a hefty share of bailout 700 billion to to register illegal/fraudelent voters.
Congress But Nancy hurting feelings in congress republicans were prevented from putting the nation first, otherwise bailout would have succeeded.
Media A first, whispers from "true Americans" that Faux News may be one of "them" you know the liberal media. Faux News panicks and conducts hasty dinner poll and reminds everyone just "fair and balanced" they are.

I love it how someone points out the people who Barrack is friends with and then fails to mention that George Bush is personal friends with Osama Bin Laden.
Someone also said that the democratic party has been taken over by extreme leftists? Come on, the democratic party is almost as conservative as the republicans. I am a much more left than any of the major democrats and I wish we could get more extreme leftist in our government, not with respects to economy, but more so with respects to the environment, sciences, human rights, etc.
I am a liberal and I will vote for Obama.

People that are voting for McCain might be afraid that they will be hastled if they put thier hands up since all other media has made it clear that those who do will pay. I don't understand our Country when the man that care about us and has fought for us in battle overseas and in the whitehouse is so mistreated and a man that has never done anything for anyone but himself his whole life, is a GOD!

Every post I read from Liberal Democrats looks like it comes from an angry, spiteful, high school kid. They love playing "gotcha!". But their HATRED for anything Conservative BLINDS them to all the dangers that lie ahead in an Obama administration. His associates, his policies, the machine behind him...!!! It means MORE Pelosi, Schumer, Kerry, MTV, Hollywood, dumbed-down schools and colleges, liberal courts...LIBERALISM IS A MENTAL DISORDER!
