John McCain is promising to bring up William Ayers at Wednesday’s debate, Sarah Palin says she’s got nothing to lose by attacking Obama. The GOP might lose enough Senate seats to give the Democrats a filibuster-free majorityin Congress.
No, the election can’t be held tomorrow.
It’s about to get ugly. How can you survive the next twenty days? We have a couple suggestions:
The next time CNN scares you about The Bradley Effect, remember that when Tom Bradley was running for governor of California in the early 80s, people were much more racist than they are now. There are simply fewer racists available to lie to pollsters. Also, most remaining racists are less ashamed by their views than they were in the early 80s. Today’s racist willhappily tell you that there is no way in hell they would vote for a N-word. (Or Ay-rab).
Every time you see a white guy at a McCain rally holding a monkey doll wearing an Obama sticker, click on Nate Silver’s site FiveThirtyEight.com- and look at the top left column. Those numbers are Nate’s electoral projections and he predicts a mutherfucking Obama landslide. Now, go dress up your blow-up doll in a Palin shirt.
When your Korean War vet dad hangs up on you after you suggest that Barack Obama is as patriotic as John McCain, remind yourself that the group “Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America” gives Obama a B+ for his efforts to help disabled vets, and John McCain a D. Then call your dad from a different phone so he can’t caller ID you and shout that very sentence real fast into the phone. Then hang up on him.
