Obama is running out of states if you follow out a traditional model. Today, he expanded his buy into North Dakota, Georgia and Arizona in an attempt to widen the playing field and find his 270 Electoral Votes. This is a very tall order and trying to expand into new states in the final hours shows he doesn't have the votes to win.
Come back here! I'll bite you!

Excerpt:
Having devoted over 30 years of my life to the practice of psychology, I was shocked
to discover the actual extent of Sarah Palin's diminished intellect, although hardly surprised
she is developmentally challenged. Her 83 full scale Wechsler I.Q. reported in her Wasilla
High School records was labeled Dull Normal at that time and, in fact, 83 was just slightly
above the range labeled Borderline Retarded ( 70-80 I.Q. ). Her SAT scores were also
similarly deficient,thus serving to confirm her sub-normal I.Q...

Today's Gallup tracking numbers would suggest that it will be very hard for them to make any kind of argument like that on Tuesday. I'm kind of bummed that it now looks like the presidency will be decided before my party guests even arrive.

in '07, she was asked about the Iraq War, and she said she hadn't thought about it. I thought it was a clumsy attempt to dodge the question, at first, but after watching her these last few weeks, I find it entirely credible that even as her seventeen year old son was (presumably) talking about joining the army, that she had not given any thought to the Iraq War.

I guess it saves money, but as a Canadian, I've always thought that voting for everything from President to dog catcher all on the same day is far too cumbersome.
When Canadians have a federal election, they vote for one thing only, who'll their member of parliament will be.
Needless to say, hand counting is simple, and there no need for touchscreens or other error prone machines.
Presidential elections should have their own separate day, in my opinion.

Charles Stross - And what does it mean to live somewhere utterly divorced from the Earth's seasonal cycle?
I may be sceptical about space colonization, but I'm an optimist about exploration. I'm fairly certain that at some point in the next one to two decades human beings will visit the moon again — this time for an extended duration stay, spending long months and possibly years in conditions as unfriendly as those any 19th century arctic explorer could have imagined. In two or three decades, there'll probably be a base camp on Mars; not a city, not a colony, but nevertheless a habitat of sorts (and one that will probably be occupied for years — the cost of going to Mars is so prohibitive that in this day and age a 48-hour excursion to raise the flag looks positively feckless).
What are their festivals and cycles going to be, those explorers who visit worlds where the sidereal year is something other than 31,558,149.540 seconds?

And he deserves it. It's been a great resource, and I get the impression that it pays, handsomely.
Maybe not enough for Obama to raise A-man's taxes, but... plenty well enough.

He's nuts. Every time someone brings up the question of the money he collapses and must be hospitalized. Lawyers tell the rest of them that the court case would take an eternity and all the money would go to lawyers. So they all let him get away with it. Note that he lives like a miser and uses none of the money. He's an idiot savage in the financial markets but otherwise totally nuts.

WaPo/ABC tracking poll has Obama's lead holding at 9, 53-44. The only thing tightening up is McCain's window of opportunity to win, as only 7% of the voters now say that they could change their minds on their choice.
Meanwhile, Sarah Palin thinks it's perfectly natural that the French president would comment on his wife's performance in bed while Sarah compliments him on having such a great family.

Jesus H. Christ. I used to think Eagleburger was one of the decent Republicans
And if I have given the flim-flam artist Barack Obama some success with this, I am deeply apologetic. I did not intend it.
In fact, if you look at this carefully, on the question of experience for example, Sarah Palin has been a governor, she has executive ability, she knows energy issues. Now you tell me what Barack Obama has ever done in the way of executive business, doing anything in the executive field. He has been in the Senate for some two years and he has been there half of the time and seldom votes on issues.

i wouldn't say Guitar Hero III is an RPG, its an music video game developed by Neversoft published by Activision and RedOctane.
Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock retains the same gameplay as the other games in the series. The player uses a special guitar-shaped controller to simulate the playing of rock music by playing in-time to scrolling notes on-screen. Guitar Hero III includes a new cooperative career mode and "Boss Battles" against both in-game characters and other players; the game is also the first in the series to allow for online play for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii versions. The game features over 70 total songs shipped on disk, many of which, in contrast to previous games, are master tracks. The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions also feature the ability to download additional songs. Several musicians appear in Guitar Hero 3, including Tom Morello (of the bands Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave) and Slash (of the bands Guns N' Roses and Velvet Revolver) as in-game characters. The PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 versions also include Bret Michaels (of the band Poison).
