We’re all waiting for the first exit polls. In the meantime……
Desperation in the coverage has produced some great interviews over the past 24 – FOX tracked down one of the McCainiacs who had yelled at Walnuts during a town hall meeting – ‘get out and fight’ – while Mccain squirmed because he knew that what [...]
1. Worst Case – the polls were wrong, the Bradley effect is through the roof, the kill the coal industry stuff circulates, and another big gaffe happens in the next 24.
McCain holds all the 04 Bush states and gets Pennslyvania and New Hampshire – McCain 311, Obama 226

The GOP have found a good bit of stick to beat Obama with – a San Francisco Chronicle interview he did in Feb 2008 talking about cap and trade restrictions on carbon output – especially by coal stations. People can try and build a coal station (meaning a non-clean coal one, [...]
Joe the Plumber is on the Neil Cavuto show….
