I'm almost afraid to say this. I believe Obama will win. That is so amazing. It is going to be a very long three days. We are electing an African-American president. It's the first time and it's just like any other election. That is pretty special.

So McCain appeared on SNL with Tina Fey as Sarah Palin. It was pretty funny. They were appearing on a home shopping channel saying it was all they could afford :lol:

Poor McCain. He genuinely seems like a decent man who cares deeply for his country.... I kind of actually feel a bit sorry for him. Oh well.

I would feel sorry for him if he hadn't run such a horribly nasty campaign. I'm honestly appalled by just has negative and out there his campaign has gone in it's attacks against Senator Obama. Yes it's politics and everything but there's a line and a few months ago if you had asked me whether John McCain knew where the line was I would have said, "Yes absolutely and I don't think he will cross it" Yet I think during the course of this year he's becoming very desperate and power hungry and realizing that this is the last chance he'll get at the Presidency. In turn this has made him do things that he might not have done 4 or 8 years ago.

The John McCain that we see today is not the same JM from back then. Besides being older he seems a lot more bitter, angry, and just out there.

Saw him on SNL last night as well to. It was kinda funny but at the same time it was like all his other "jokes". Just kinda awkward in the delivery and reception. Loved Ben Affleck last night though...lol.

And Seth Meyers is so sexy. Is he married?

I used to think that but after this campaign - no more. At the beginning, I would have been okay if he won but now I will be disappointed and disgusted. I've lost a lot (almost all) respect for him.

I guess. I just don't see what's wrong with these. If something happened with the machines, they can just re-scan all of the "receipts". They all get a bar-code on them (which I would assume would be used if something happen).

I willingly admit that my level of mistrust of electronic voting is off the charts. I don't apologize for that.

I showed up to my board of elections with five forms of ID (drivers license, utility bill, paycheck, social security card and passport) and took a picture of my ballot with my cellphone. Trust me I wear my paranoia proudly. Like I said I've been burned by the Buckeye State enough.

If anyone gets the chance, please watch Ben Affleck's parody of Keith Olbermann from last night's SNL.

  • Member
^^It was funny though they ruined it by having it go on to long.

The Special Comment saved it. BA was over the top, but it did capture Keith's arrogance. I truly like Keith, but he does act very self-righteous sometimes.

And, cutting off people who disagree with him......well, you know..... :D

This was really good. I'm a fan of Olbermann's but even I spend a good deal of the show going "WTF?" I find his tendency to posit leading questions ENORMOUSLY annoying. "Are we seeing the complete meltdown of the McCain campaign or is it possible that these people are insane and/or stupid enough to believe this is a good strategy?" I always want someone to say, "Really Keith? Are those the only options you're going to give me?"

And the idea of him living with his mother and a cat named Ms. Precious Perfect is just too wonderful! I don't dare hope that Keith will just let this go and not respond. Nope. No chance of that.

Hopefully, he will show his good humor and run with it that way. If he gets pissed off, he will be no better than BillO.

The attack ad the GOP trust made with the Rev. Wright crap is being run in Illinois. Which seems like a waste of money or is it just me?

  • Member

I asked this a couple of pages back, but didn't get an answer.

As I will be at work when the polls close (since it will be Wednesday here) what would be the best website to watch during the day.

When the Primary's were happening I kept an eye on the CNN website, but it there a better one or should I stick with them?

I think CNN is probably the best bet.....

I would suggest either CNN or MSNBC. I think they are the best.

But if you want Republican rhetoric and tilted results, watch Fox News Channel. :P
