2. I'm not, he's been trashing all Obama all year...he loves McCain
He's been hating on Obama ever since the primaries. He even said on Morning Joe back in the summer that he thought would lose the general election. He also pumps up McCain a lot. I guess the two are bosom buddies. They're both old as dirt. I for one am glad he's not on TV much! CBS News would be intolerable with him at the helm right now.

5. I'm going to miss him as well.
* This race is shakier than cafeteria Jello.

* He swept through the South like a tornado through a trailer park.

* Don't bet the trailer money on it yet.

* It's a ding dong battle back and forth.

* Look at that. Can't get a cigarette paper between'em.

* His chances are slim right now and if he doesn't carry Florida, slim will have left town.

* We said earlier in the evening at one point that Governor Bush would probably be as mad as a rained-on rooster.

* This will show you how tight it is - it's spandex tight.

* The polls have been veering and wobbling so much that neither NASA nor the Russian Cosmodrome could track 'em in some cases.

* If you're disgusted with us, frankly I don't blame ya.

* I think you would likelier see a hippopotamus run through this room than see George Bush appoint Ralph Nader to the Cabinet.

* Turn the lights down, the party just got wilder.

* It's cardiac-arrest time in this presidential campaign.

* It's too early to say he has the whip hand.

* It's about as complicated as a wiring diagram to some dynamo.

* This election swings like one of those pendulum things.

* Al Gore has his back to the wall, shirt tails on fire with this race in Florida.

* Smelling salts for all Democrats please.

* This race is tight like a too-small bathing suit on a too-long ride home from the beach.

* We've lived by the crystal ball and learned to eat so much broken glass tonight that we're in critical condition.

* You would sooner find a tall talking broccoli stick to offer to mow your lawn for free.

* The big burrito.

* This thing is as tight as the rusted lugnuts on a '55 Ford.

* Maybe you can bring some perspective on this, we're plum out.

* When the going gets weird, anchor men punt.

I won't know who to watch this year.

6. Damn, I forgot my favorite.
If a frog had side pockets, he'd carry a handgun.
