I just talked to one of my best Team McCain sources who told me that heading into today all the key battleground polls were moving hard and fast in their direction. The source, hardly a perma-optimist, thinks it will be a long night, but that McCain is going to win. So add this with the new Battleground poll (Obama +1.9 only) and the rising stock market...

Zogby told BBC5 Radio at 1230PM eatern that Ohio and Florida were trending toward McCain. The post is below.
“On BBC Radio 5, at 12.30 eastern Zogby went on to say that his polling showing that Ohio and Florida were going towards McCain.

He was very careful to couch his words, just so he was not being definitive, but just so he would win either way. Sneaky monkey.”
While leaving with my wife after having voted, I asked her whom she voted for. “Palin!” she remarked and smiling broadly.
She wasn’t for McCain at all. Palin converted her. But she also would never have voted for Obama. She was just less than enthused until Palin came around.

I am the same way. I told everyone from the beginning that the choice was between a liberal and a commie. I’d vote for the liberal to keep the commie out. Then... Palin came along and I was excited about the liberal because of her.
bttt
Unfortunately every election is too important to take a stand this time. But I think that maybe McCain saw the 2006 conservative boycott and gave us Sarah. Or maybe he was as smitten as everyone else.
We need the spirit of 1994 with actual spending cuts this time.
It is Mister Oabam, himself, who has turned the theme of the race into a referendum on rural Pennsylvania versus urbane San Francisco. Barack has made clear (at least as clear as makes it through the media fog) that the choice is between the old-school American Values of rural Pennsylvania versus the New School "American Values" of urban San Francisco.
And the effect of that choice is that many many voters, a small but significant portion of of whom skip elections, throughout the US align themselves with Pennsylvania and find San Francisco's values crazy, dangerous, even unspeakable. And they are ALL rushing the polls today.
And it is Obama, himself, who framed the election that way.
I suggest a live thread: "Election Night Drinking Game"
Everybody watches the same returns broadcast.
Between breaks a count is kept of each mention of each state. Individual display of state on the screen counts. Display of state name on bottom scroll counts.
During the commercial break each person drinks the amount of times his home state was mentioned.
People may want to adopt a state if they live in a battleground state or if they live in a low EV state.
I would set it up but my kid has hockey tonight and I won't be around for a big part of the night.
The hell of it is, those urbane San Franciscans need the Pennsylvanians a lot more than the Pennsylvanians need the San Franciscans (although the libs would never admit it). You can live without wine and cheese parties, queers, and The Vagina Monologues. Try living without steel, or 59% of electricity you use every day generated from coal.
Looks like historic Pubbie turnout all over. So much for all those cockamamie weighted polls. The Battleground pulled an 11th hour tightening with McCain running down Obama here at the last minute. So looks like of the 4 must hold 3 look good...NC, FL, Ohio. Now we wait on VA and then the rout will be on.
Let’s rebuild the steel industry in the US! It is decimated, on account of trade favoritism to overseas producers and because of Union-Management-axis hobbling of finances and morale. We need new companies in the US steel biz, completely new. But the ground has to cleared of the burdens of the old, the old companies with their pension and union contract baggage, the old trade mindsets, and the old anti-free-labor labor regulations.
The editor is probably PUMA. Don’t worry, they’re still liberal as ever in Ann Arbor (she’s a whore).
I just posted the following at Michelle Malkin's blog:

There’s a lot of hyperbole in that statement Film. We’re not going to turn into Cuba with 4 years of Obama.Sorry, Ahh, but the lessons of history say otherwise. Hitler won but not big, yet by diligence and motivation he and his team completely took over the most modern and intelligent society of Germany in the 1930s. And they did it mach schnell.
Not the US? Then read Amity Schales history of FDR’s years. FDR moved fast, and once he wrangled the Supreme Court into an arm of his administration — public freedom suffered greviously and quickly. Read the chapter on the chicken butchers to see just how fast and how severe, and HOW CLOSE WE CAME to National Socialism.
Relatedly President Bush’s reaction to to the credit crisis —throwing WILD amounts of money and authority to Paulsen and big finance can be seen as a necessary attempt to forestall the damage a nazi Obama Administration would cause, and to dilute their power, by giving away so much power BEFORE the Obama Nazis (for German National Socialism, the politics of the Nazi Party, are the closest thing to Obama’s economics and ruling models as he has expressed them) have a chance to wield it.

In any case, McCain is winning in a landside, imo.
YET — we must always remember (at least for the nest 12 years) how damn close we came to being a Nazi Nation.
Between me, some family and some PUMA’s count 8 more for McCuda here in the People’s Republic.
I’d have to see that to believe it.
Meanwhile, can’t sleep, too upset.
