3. I thought Wetzelbill/Kurovsky had withdrawn in despair when Palin entered.
I mean, how you guys gonna top a campaign like that? Got moose? Got Little Diomede? Got a cool National Guard tank with a .50 cal MG to tool around trolling for votes in?

6. Hey when you have a bull riding womanizing hick from Montana and a gay guy
all on one ticket the press practically writes itself. Well, that was the assumption.

9. I'd say you are getting a good 20 percent from both sides, since your offer to
write a personal check for the bailout of AIG.....

2. To my understanding the "likely voter" category favors McSame?
This due to the fact that we have many more registered voters than the other side? Then again, you probably knew this .... ;)

7. "likely voter"
That's another name for people who are older and not new voters, which basically hits McCain's demographic perfectly and takes out Obama's strengths, lol. Way to sell that horserace.
