Forgive my little nod to John Belushi and "Animal House", but I ran across a couple articles you might find interesting, while Barack Obama and the mainstream media start their little victory dance.
Over at NoQuarter, the following from a former Clinton worker, now working for Obama:"I’m going to let you in on a few secrets here
, and this is not because I enjoy the gossip or the attention directed my way. I’m doing this because I doubt much of you know the true weaknesses of Obama.
Another reason for my doing this is that I have lost faith in this campaign, and feel that this choice has been forced on many people in this country.
Put simply, you are being manipulated. That was and is our job – to manipulate you (the electorate) and the media (we already had them months ago). Our goal is to create chaos with the other side, not hope.
I’ve come to the realization (as the campaign already has) that if this comes to the issues, Barack Obama doesn’t have a chance. His only chance is to foster disorganization, chaos, despair, and a sense of inevitability among the Republicans"And this, at Hillbuzz:
The ONLY way McCain loses this race is if the media, operating as a full-fledged wing of the Obama campaign, breeds enough Eeyores amongst you to keep enough people home for Obama to squeak out wins. Hillary Clinton should have won Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Indiana, by larger margins that she did. Ohio should have been a 13-point win, Pennsylvania should have been a 12-point win, and Indiana should have been a 9-point win. Eeyores staying home, saying, “Oh bother, TV say me stay home, me sad, need dydee changed!” is what cost Hillary those extra points.Don’t be Eeyores on Tuesday! Get those Eeyore butts off your couches, away from toxic TV, and GO VOTE. Get everyone you know to vote — tell them if they don’t, then Obama will turn America socialist, and we’re going to start with their house and bank account when we begin redistributing wealth. That should motivate them.
Those of us who have been regulars on the McCain blog have seen this behavior for months, almost from the moment that Hillary Clinton was arithmetically eliminated from receiving the Democratic nomination. Constant harping about Obama's inevitability, frequent repetition of poll numbers supporting Obama, the weekly newsmagazines with messiah-like pictures on the cover and the never-ending Obama love-fest on CNN, MSNBC, CBS, and the New York Times.
Bottom line is this: DO NOT BELIEVE THE POLLS. DO NOT BELIEVE THE MEDIA. The ONLY POLL THAT COUNTS IS THE ONE ON NOVEMBER 4TH. NEVER GIVE UP, NEVER SURRENDER!
If you voted early, good for you! If you haven't voted, get there early on the 4th. Take a friend, preferably a REPUBLICAN friend with you, so they can vote too! If we lose, we lose. But remember, decisions are made by the people who show up. So -- SHOW UP! Go VOTE!

The dirty little secret of this election is that there are many special intrest groups on the right-end that stand to gain if Youknowwho wins this election.
Lotsa books on the end-o-the-world, televangelists deepening their pockets, increased fundraising among conservative activist groups.
I don't want Youknowwho to win so some fundamentalist preacher can get a brand new carpet somewhere.
Another, and completely separate point I will make is that red states really need to turn out, because we cannot afford to win only an electoral vote!
"Lotsa books on the end-o-the-world, televangelists deepening their pockets, increased fundraising among conservative activist groups."
I'm not sure if you write this "tongue-in-cheek" or not, Triad, because frankly I'm just enough a cynic about all special interest groups to see more than a grain of truth in what you say.
Thanks, Kit, for writing so early, knowing I'm usually up at this time.
My gut says there is more than a grain, but proving this will be as elusive as Youknowwho's answers to tough questions.
But logically, this rumor about Youknowwho being a certain Biblical figure that's not-so-nice would definately spell BIG SALES for more books written by certain types of Preachers, if he were elected.
On the other hand, trying to put Mc Cain in that role would be a stretch and a laughable one. It wouldn't sell books.
But if Mc Cain wins, it will all go out in the wash, and I won't have a need to be as cynical as I am now.
And I have some "Pentecostal" in my background, so I pretty much know the routine.
