There was a big "McCain: Invest in Victory" ad on 538 earlier that had me laughing for quite a while. It was right above the entry on "his (slim) chances of winning."

layweed October 26 2008, 02:52:24 UTC

I already did my part. Now here's to hoping the rest of Texas gets a clue. =\

Dammit @ Indiana going white again. Better than the pink it was a week or two ago, I guess.

chaos_rains October 26 2008, 02:58:55 UTC

Hopefully it will turn blue FINALLY.

fizzy_pepsi October 26 2008, 03:18:53 UTC

agreed. A few months ago I figured my vote wouldn't count either way; at least now it has a chance.

artchess October 26 2008, 03:01:56 UTC

Definitely. I mean considering we've gone Republican since 1964. I think we're doing pretty well.

ot, but is there any particular reason why Obama is having a rally at 11 p.m.?

i still wont get my hopes up. things can still go wrong on nov 4th! :(

superhetoric October 26 2008, 02:56:58 UTC

i'm actually fully expecting mccain to win. i don't want it. at all. but i'm 99% positive it's going to happen. i'm a cynic and a pessimist by nature and i just can't let myself hope for the best.

kerrence October 26 2008, 03:03:38 UTC

you are not alone :(
i am fully prepared to buy some wine & americone dream to soften the blow
