WLW 700 out of Ohio reported they won’t know their presidential vote until after midnight! So all news-talk Tuesday is idle, filling-the-air hot-air. I shan’t be available until Wednesday morning to face our fate.
I will be watching Turner Movie Classics on Tuesday night. As your editor-in-chief I proclaim November 4th our National Day of [...]

@Sarah_Palin [For Sarah Palin not official Palin's twitter account] tweeted, about the “Widespread phenomenon of Democrats openly supporting John McCain and Sarah Palin.” This twitter-post provided a link to the excerpt below:

Signs Pointing To A McCain Victory By Steven M. Warshawsky

Despite there being an entire cottage industry devoted to exposing the liberal bias [...]

I find that the deepest and most disturbing mysteries arising from this election are those related to the current financial crisis. First, how the Democrats have managed to escape blame. Second, how and why the Republicans have let them.
There is little doubt though that this is the pivotal issue of [...]

The junior US Senator of Illinois, B. Obama jr., was a law teacher at the University of Chicago in constitutional law. His students should sue for malpractice. It is his statement that “the constitution is a charter of negative rights” where he shows a liking for statism. [update: the spin is that Obama was only [...]

Mona Charen asks the question that gets asked a lot around here, what are American Jews thinking?  http://www.jewishworldreview.com/cols/charen102808.php3   She points out that either Obama’s Palestinian friends, who actually know the man, are wrong about him or the majority of American Jews are wrong about him.  The Jews she knows believe that Obama was lying when [...]

San Diego’s North County Times is a pretty liberal paper.  Even though a lot of the North County is conservative, due to the influence of the Marine Community, along the coastal cities granola, surfing and sunworship has bred the usual liberal suspects.  But the North County Times has endorsed John McCain for President.

So Joe Biden comes out and says that Obama will be perceived as weak by our enemies and will be tested by said enemies and will fail that test.  Obamas own running mate says Obama will be a foreign policy disaster and the whole world ignores this and goes on drinking OMessiah koolaid.  Caroline Glick [...]

@BBgeek today tweeted that www.qik.com has an application for blackberry mobiles. I have downloaded it. Okay, Mr. B. Obama, next your in town I shall try to get you on record pushing your socialistic drug. America as Mrs. Ronald Reagan said about drugs do say to Obama on November 4th: JUST SAY NO!

Like the Willie Horton case in the 1988 campaign only worse.
It goes to the heart of who and what all-too-many among the left-wing of the Democratic Pary really are.
I was hoping that this would become a major issue in this campaign. Perhaps it’s not too late - if enough people will join in to [...]

A trophy kid of the Millennial generation wants me to do his homework. His research and his memo-writing! This kid is a third-year law student, and his course is international study. His assignment that he wished to cheat off from me:

Hello,
I need the following memo drawn up. Could you help me and if so, [...]

Obama raised 150 million in Sept. That is mindblowing.
We have GOT to step up to the plate here. McCain cannot win this without some serious cash coming in. Period.
Obama will run ads around the clock. We bloggers do what we can with what we write,
but now we have to use our blogs to raise [...]

Now I am as bad as anyone in proclaiming Obama the default winner because I am the worst pessimist you never want to meet.  But as an Instapundit reader points out, this may keep some people from the polls and we can not have that.  http://www.pajamasmedia.com/instapundit/archives2/025970.php
To my mind, the phrase “seems to have it won,” [...]

While pseudo-conservatives embrace He who can’t be bothered to visit wounded vets, the military continues taking names and kicking butt!  The No. 2 Al Qaeda man in Iraq has met with the US military’s terrible swift sword.  http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/10/16/AR2008101603615.html
Obama will gut the military, as did Clinton, Carter…James Madison.  Then he will demand that the gutted military [...]
