2. It'll happen.
No candidate* has held a 6 point lead this late in the game and lost.

*at least recently, since polling was minimal for a very long time.

5. I'm doing the phone banks here in East Bay
You would be surprised how many people are turning up.

I mean, sure its California - but this is suburban California, land of the McMansions.

14. Good man.
Now about them Cubs? Sorry, I'm a sympathetic ear, but I'm also an Indians fan. Whining about a World Series win to me is like complaining about a blister to a leper. :evilgrin:

22. I was THERE.
But no win. Tromped by the Braves...like Atlanta needed a comeback.

Oh you mean the pennant? Yeah...I'll let it slide.

Considering the Bulls and Bears had their hayday not that long ago though...compare that to the Browns and Cavs...Sometimes but never enough.

25. The Cubs are beyond local affiliation
Ours is a tragedy that transcends generations

Let me give you one name: "Steve Bartman"

That is all

21. There is a McCain Palin sign on Glebe and Columbia pike (public property)
I pass by it every morning on my way to work and back home again.

I will not touch it now but come Nov 5th...Personally hauling it to the trash can...followed by a happy dance!

11. Having been lied to and cheated so much for so long, it is hard to believe.
Come Tues evening, I will breath freely again. You aren't alone.

12. I'm gonna level with you. It will happen for Obama. The Cubs, not so much.
That way, I figure you'll know I'm not just speaking out of wishful thinking.

Who knows, next year, the Cubbies, maybe, just maybe...

Tuesday, Barack, DEFINITELY!

15. Oh, it's happenin' believe it...
I got a great tune for you:

Well don't you ever be sad
Lean on me when times are bad
When the day comes and you're in doubt,
In a river of trouble, about to drown.


Hold on, I'm coming.
Hold on, I'm coming.


I'm on my way, your lover
When you get cold, yeah, I'll be your cover
Don't have to worry because I'm here.
Don't need to suffer because I'm here.


Chorus

Chorus

Reach out to me for satisfaction.
Call my name, quick reaction.


Well don't you ever feel sad
Lean on me when times are bad
When the day comes and you're in doubt,
In a river of trouble and about to drown.


Chorus

24. As happy as I am about the Phils, this election is my true World Series
Edited on Fri Oct-31-08 04:06 PM by mvd
If Obama loses, the Phils' win will quickly fade from memory. But let's hope you feel the joy Phillies fans feel soon. :hi:

He's done such a good job he'll be re-elected next week by a landslide.

26. Obama will win
There's no way he'd be in second and third tier red states otherwise - it's like he's just after insurance. :hi:

33. It is going to happen Tav, check out Mr. P.'s Widget this weekend, it helps everyone's nerves.
He said today in his Daily Widget that:
"McCain now needs to find more than 2.5 million new votes every day over the next four days to overtake Obama. The clock is surely not McCain’s friend"(DU, October 31st, phrigndumass).
