Barack Obama tweaked his ongoing mockery of Dick Cheney's McCain endorsement...

...Mockery they so richly deserve. I'm glad Obama's having fun with this. Cheney's endorsement is a hilarious spectacle. Good fodder.

Chris Matthews says the new Wright slime has been put on the air by the neocons, which ones he doesn't say.

"He's delighted. You've never seen Dick Cheney delighted before. But he is. That's kind of hard to picture."

Alright, now listen. THAT was the fucking funniest thing I've read in ages. THANK YOU BARACK for making LOL good and hard. I really needed it.

LOL! He's become sharper and funnier on the snark front... I can't wait to see the vid.

Why did Cheney take so long to endorse the candidate of his own party?

Had anyone noticed before now that Cheney had not endorsed McCain?

Is this damning by faint praise, or shall we say a knife in the back? Cheney is many things, but he is not stupid, and surely knows that his endorsement will not bring McCain a single vote he doesn't have already.

As McCain's ship sinks, Cheney throws him an anchor.

Fourty Eight hours before the early returns come in.

Sorry for stating the obvious. I'm mentally exhausted. Very much ready for a new day.

He's never seen Cheney delighted before? Come to think of it, neither have I. But I've got a feeling that a delighted Dick would look a lot like Frankenstein did when he heard the blind hermit play the violin.

Today - 50.7
Obama's single highest one day average in RCP.

In sports, they call that peaking at the right time.

For comparison, McCain's highest one day number was 48.3 on 9/8.

McCain did not break 46 in any polls today.

Almost there.

Beg to differ, Barack. Cheney shows his delight every time he lifts his shotgun and takes aim at a bird that was just released from a holding pen. No need to actually hunt, you know. Just blast away. Now that is pure delight.

I just made my last donation for Senator Obama after seeing the Wright ad.

I am happy about the latest USAToday Gallup.

Obama/Biden 08

Ahhh - now for some Bill the extremely hot Vampire.

From a dKos poster who was in Cleveland rally

Standing amidst the crowd, we could see Obama's plane as it flew into the lakefront airport. Later, it began to drizzle just as Obama mentioned Dick Cheney's endorsement of McCain. Obama joked “That’s what happens when you start talking about Dick Cheney."

Talk about being quick on one's feet.

Just 1 more day!!!

McCain should be held accountable for hiring Liers
Palin...Bridge To No Where, Acting Like she knew what the VP job is, or the consitution period
Troopergate, and the Gas Pipe line to name a few
Rick Davis...Lobbying
Joe the Plumber with no license, the people not selling, and not making no where near 250k
Mrs. McCain for the troop vote that her husband voted against too
And then there's McCain...Fill in the paragraph

I've been tested...(uh being a POW is not the same as President
I' cancelled my campagin to help with the economy crisis, but the ad kept running and so did I
I picked Palin cause she has experince
I was against the Bush tax cuts, but not now since Obama thought of it first
I am for oversite but not requlation, Duh?

I don't know what my campaign is talking about, oops this might be true...but he can still be charged for not know right?

God Dammit! Two days of posts disappearing into the ethertubes. Maybe I'm being too positive, confident, and, well, peaceful. So, fuckity fuck fuck fuck! Snarky snark snark snark! There, maybe this will get through now.

To summarize:
41 states. 404 EVs. We are going to win big big big. The pundits are going to be screamin' and creamin' because this is gonna be a bona fide LBJ Slide. It will engulf the recht-verschimelt and expose them as the clattering scheisskopfs they truly are.

Ladies and Gentlemen, in two days we will all join in song, celebrating the election of Barack Obama, emancipator of the bright light; the shining star of democracy. Believe it. It is happening. With our commitment, support, and sacrifice, President Barack Obama will lead us on a new journey.

What a blessing to be a part of this. Thank you all TPM'ers for sharing your thoughts, your wit, and your hearts.

McCain diverting remaining funds for media, away from pursuit of an effective ground game on Tuesday combined with early voting stats from North Carolina and Georgia indicate a big wave is gonna hit. We may all be too hung-over to get to work on Wednesday morn.

Anyone watching Rachel Maddow? She just did a commentary about the long lines and the likely event this is causing voter disenfranchisement. Better yet she coined the phrase as it a poll tax. It was a very powerful and true commentary. I urge all of us to stay in the lines and vote come Tuesady! The course of our country depends on it.

Peace, Luv and Hair Grease!

Aviso, folks: Josh's extraordinary server keeps advising to resubmit, that it is experiencing unprecedented traffic.

Imagine that there had been no tradgedy off of Martha's Vineyard, that in the year 2000, John Kennedy Jr. had entered politics in New York and had gone on to become this year's Democratic presidential nominee.

Yes, I'm a Kennedy partisan, but I sincerely doubt that if the above had occured, that there would be anywhere near the activism and enthusiasm we have witnessed, that has been generated by the candidacy of Senator Obama. Candidacy in and of itself is leadership!

Two days left!

Let's spank these bastards!

"With two days to go, only 8 percent of likely voters are uncommitted – either they have not yet chosen a candidate, or their minds could still change. Nearly all of these uncommitted voters say they plan to vote."

"Today’s uncommitted voters are mostly white, and more than half are age 45 or older. Just over half are men, and most live in the Midwest and South. Half describe themselves as moderate, and many are not partisan - four in 10 are independents."

What we have here folks are plastoid brained bozos waiting till the last minute to see where the wind is blowing and then casting their vote wishing to be ON THE WINNING SIDE. In other words, the Idiot Wind.

You just have to know how to treat this server, ok?

Be patient. Hit submit, then open a fresh page, load it, come to Electioncentral, then open comments and you will find your comment.

Don't hit submit again and don't get impatient - just treat it like it's a slow piece of shit cause it is - exceedingly buggy and slow and the trippiest I've ever seen, hands down. But it will work if you just treat it like that.

I think the server is designed to keep Republicans from posting. They aren't smart enough to figure out the secret posting process.

I'd guess it's something with Josh's software, rather than the hardware (no problem thataways by all apparents...).

Otherwise, in view of Tuesday night festivities, has anyone any advice as to how to avoid a hangover? I ain't ever had one. What should or shouldn't I buy at BevMo?

No rain predicted here in Cali. We saved a load of fireworks from last July 4th.

Man, David Gregory is driving me up the wall...quoting from that Mason-Dixon Poll that shows the race is tightening! I wonder where he leans politically? And for the record his show is simply dreadful!

Let's all throw in and get Phyllis Schlafly a year's aupply of Ex-Lax.

She's gonna need it.

Report from Cleveland: My husband and I came to Cleveland (my hometown) from New Hampshire on Friday for our annual Browns game with my family. Then we found out yesterday that Obama was coming here too. Then the hotel moved us to another room because the floor we were on had to be "secured", but no one would tell us why.

We went to the game today (Browns lost - boo) and when we left the stadium to walk back to our hotel, there was The Boss singing, and thousands of Obama fans everywhere. The hotel had moved us to an even nicer room than we had, a corner room with windows all around. We had a perfect view of the stand where Obama was speaking. We put CNN on so we could here everything, and sat in our hotel window watching Obama through binoculars. This was probably one of the best days of my life. The only thing that would have made it better is if we had run into Obama in the elevator!

One of the redcaps finally admitted that the floor we were moved from was secured for Sara Palin. She's speaking here tomorrow.

Just when I'm getting in a good mood, those jackasses run a national Reverend Wright ad.

I was a the rally, and I think the line was more like, "First of all, it's interesting to picture Dick Cheney delighted."

And yeah, he was confident, he was funny, and he was impossible to rattle.

It started to rain, and he didn't blink. He improved his "talking about Cheney" and then segued into a bit about how we had only two more days of these clouds before we saw sunny days again.

Later, his microphone started giving him feedback. He rapped it a bit, casually, and kept going. Completely unruffled.

Election Day Ball begins in about 24 hours New York time.

A friend emailed me that she waited 4.5 hours in line to vote Sunday in San Diego, CA. And so it goes!
