It was on FOX and they seriously spend SIX MINUTES on her stupid clothes...
Also, I've never blogged from my parent's basement.

WILLIAM AYERS SPEAKS...
...er, types.
Shockingly, it seems everything we've been lead to believe about the man might not be as black & white as it once seemed. Sure, what he did back in the 60's gives anyone a reason to pause...but the way the media and both Hillary and McCain's campaigns turned him into the Ultimate Boogeyman, was absurd.

COME BY AND SAY HELLO!!!
I did five new paintings (which I'm slooooooooowly starting to actually enjoy) and am showcasing my latest mini-comic collection of political strips. Usually I ask $2.00, but for you, it's free!
PALIN DIDN'T KNOW AFRICA WAS A CONTINENT?!
I swear to God, someone better get this woman a sitcom!!!

YES WE DID!
(image stolen from the awesome Christine Norrie )
Well, that was sure fun, eh?!
I cried like a babyhead last night, watching MSNBC discuss the various options and paths that Obama could take in order to reach 270. Then, in a matter of mere seconds, call Oregon, Washington, and California for Obama, pushing him well over 270 and allowing the crowds gathered all over the country to take center stage for over five minutes of pure cheering, joy and excitement!
I still get goosebumps watching that.
Words cannot express how incredible it feels to know that America is shifting in a new direction. The world is welcoming us back with open arms, and we'll have the next four years to correct the mistakes of the previous eight. It's not going to be easy, you still have half the country thinking that Obama is a "Socialist," or even worse...and that's fine. Let them pout and be dismissive and wrong. They're quite comfortable with making up excuses whenever the facts don't fall in their favor. But we, you and I, must rise above it. We must lead this great nation into the high expectations we have set our hopes and dreams upon. We can't get caught up in bitter, petty fighting. Let the other side bitch and moan and offer nothing but fear and paranoia. Let them own their failures. We'll be too busy creating our successes.
We've come this far, there's no use in slowing down now.
(PS...please don't think I'm going to stop with the sarcasm and namecalling...it's my bread and butter, and dammit, I'm quite good at it. I'm simply saying that we can't get too caught up in that, because we have bigger problems to worry about. Over the next few months, the Republicans are going to do everything in their power to belittle President Obama and paint him out to be the next Jimmy Carter, and I'm more than willing to call them out on their bullshit.
That said, they're not even worth arguing with anymore. I've glanced at some of the usual "Here comes President Handout" blogs and websites today, and it's just so sad and hopeless to even attempt to correct them any longer. Let them hang themselves on the failed politics of old. The smear campaigns and fear tactics don't work any more and people want real solutions to real problems. Not the lame re-hashing of the last 30 years.
...and most of all, CHEER UP!
We kicked their ass for once! It's time to celebrate.)

TAKE IT WITH A GRAIN OF SALT...
...but it's pretty much a given.
Andrew Gelman of Columbia University has taken a recent set of our simulations to look at what may happen conditional on the outcomes of the first states to close their polls at 6 and 7 PM. The bottom line? If those states go roughly as expected (meaning, say, an Obama win in Virginia and a close race in Indiana), we can conclude with almost literal 100 percent certainty that Obama will win the election.
Gotta love them 'puters.

BETTER PRAY HARDER!
Sarah Palin just cast her vote up in Wasilla, Alaska and offered her thoughts about the outcome of tonight's election:
“Now tomorrow, I hope, I pray, I believe that I'll be able to wake up as Vice President elect, and be able to get to work in a transition mode with the President elect, John McCain.”
And when asked if she voted for CONVICTED FELON Senator Ted "Internet's a series of tubes" Stevens, she added:
“I am also exercising my right to privacy, and I don't have to tell anybody who I vote for, nobody does, and that’s really cool about America also.”
You know, I think I'm going to miss her awesome ability to end sentences with "also" most of all.

WHEN YOU HAVE NO ISSUES TO RUN ON, RATCHET UP THE FEAR TACTICS!
Living in Missouri, (a close, almost completely tied, swing state,) we've been hit hard with anti-Obama mailers recently. I meant to scan them last night, but got sidetracked with getting my comics done for INK and The Star. So I found some online, all of which we've actually received: (aside from the wanting to kill babies one...but that one was too creepy to ignore)
Good ol' RNC. Poor fuckers can't figure out why they're going to lose by a landslide tomorrow. I mean, this shit worked a few years ago...sigh...

NOT EVEN CLOSE.
Don't let Drudge fool you, this election isn't based on National Polls, it's based off states and the Electoral College. And it's not even close. Not by a long shot.
George W. Bush won Montana by 20 points in his re-election victory four years ago. But it seems the times have changed in the state.
CNN's new Electoral College map, updated Sunday morning, moves Montana from "lean John McCain" to "toss up." The move is partially based on our new CNN Poll of Polls in Montana, compiled Friday, which suggests McCain, the Republican presidential candidate, has a one-point lead over his Democratic rival Barack Obama, 46 percent to 45 percent. Nine percent of voters are undecided.
"The fact that Montana is up for grabs has to be extremely unsettling for the McCain campaign," said CNN Senior Political Researcher Alan Silverleib. "Montana's usually a reliably Republican state in presidential campaigns. It's been won by the Democrats only twice in the past half century. If you're a Republican and you're fighting for Montana in the last few days of the campaign, you're not in good shape."
Three electoral votes are at stake in Montana, a state Obama visited in late August. McCain has not campaigned in Montana during the general election.
With Montana moving to "toss-up," CNN estimates that if the election were held today, Obama would win states worth 291 electoral votes — more than enough to capture the White House
McCain would take states worth 157 electoral votes, while states worth a combined total of 90 electoral votes would still be up for grabs. A candidate needs 270 electoral votes to win.
