Not A Very Good Weekend For Obama
He had two huge rallies in Missouri yesterday, then Sarah Palin went on SNL and sat there with a big grin on her face (and even participated) while they made fun of her lack of qualifications for VP and the meanness (and age) of her running mate. Today began with the announcement of over $150 million of donations in September, followed by the endorsement of Colin Powell on 'Meet the Press'. Most national polls show an expanding lead for Obama. Pat Buchanan will explain just how this is all "Bad news for Obama" sometime tomorrow, "Morning Joe" will point out that "He's not closing the deal" and CNN will keep reminding us he's black!!!

I'm concerned.

12. You know, of course, that "Mourning Joe" is secretly...
rooting for Obama - he's in show-biz now, and this will give him eight years of garbage to spew. Much better than trying to defend McCain's idiocies. And WAY much better than ending up dead because of them.

More W.Va. voters say machines are switching votes
In six cases, Democratic votes flipped to GOP
By Paul J. Nyden

WINFIELD, W.Va. -- Three Putnam County voters say electronic voting machines changed their votes from Democrats to Republicans when they cast early ballots last week.

This is the second West Virginia county where voters have reported this problem. Last week, three voters in Jackson County told The Charleston Gazette their electronic vote for "Barack Obama" kept flipping to "John McCain".

In both counties, Republicans are responsible for overseeing elections. Both county clerks said the problem is isolated.

They also blamed voters for not being more careful.

"People make mistakes more than machines," said Jackson County Clerk Jeff Waybright.

Shelba Ketchum, a 69-year-old nurse retired from Thomas Memorial Hospital, described what happened Friday at the Putnam County Courthouse in Winfield.

"I pushed buttons and they all came up Republican," she said. "I hit Obama and it switched to McCain. I am really concerned about that. If McCain wins, there was something wrong with the machines.

"I asked them for a printout of my votes," Ketchum said. "But they said it was in the machine and I could not get it. I did not feel right when I left the courthouse. My son felt the same way.

17. I don't know. I blame Obama for the Cowboys' problems.
If Obama were a real leader, Romo wouldn't have broken his pinkie.
