When's the last time we've seen a good old fashioned city wide riot? It has been too long, I'll tell you that much.

 

 

IIRC, 2 Halloween's ago in Detroit. Before that... one of the Bulls celebrations I'd guess.

sports riots seemed to have faded out in the 00's. When Denver had one I think we all knew it was over.

Just wait till the Fire bring home a championship.

They haven't released their poll spreadsheet thing yet, but 538 has updated their model:

3.7%? Whoa.

Yeah, McCain is screwed. It's just wishful thinking on my part that Obama will lose and mass rioting will erupt.

 

Obama isn't setting up this Grant Park rally as an elaborate stage to make a concession speech. His advisors obviously wouldn't have done this if they didn't think the odds were overwhelmingly in their favor. I don't see McCain setting up a huge outdoor rally worth 2 million dollars outside Arizona.

 

Just remember:

"If Barack Obama wins and you have things to do involving black people the following day............it will NOT get done."

Jeez. 538 poll updates are huge for Obama. Some details...

 

--2 new FL polls show Obama up by +5 and +7

 

--2 new Oh polls show Obama up by +11.5 and +14

 

--2 new IN polls show Obama up by +4 and +9.5

 

--New MT poll shows Obama up there by +4

 

--New NC poll shows Obama up +2

 

--4 new PA polls show Obama +10, +10, +10.4, +13

 

--MN, IA and WI all show double digit Obama leads

 

--Even Texas surprises - McCain only up by 10

 

Good to see the McCain campaign spending their money wisely.

 

Who was the highest paid individual in Senator John McCain’s presidential campaign during the first half of October as it headed down the homestretch?

 

Not Randy Scheunemann, Mr. McCain’s chief foreign policy adviser; not Nicolle Wallace, his senior communications staff member. It was Amy Strozzi, who was identified by the Washington Post this week as Gov. Sarah Palin’s traveling makeup artist, according to a new filing with the Federal Election Commission on Thursday night.

 

Ms. Strozzi, who was nominated for an Emmy award for her makeup work on the television show “So You Think You Can Dance?”, was paid $22,800 for the first two weeks of October alone, according to the records. The campaign categorized Ms. Strozzi’s payment as “PERSONNEL SVC/EQUIPMENT.”

but dont say she's attractive. That's sexist.

Call em crazy, but it almost seems like they are going out of their way to "Sex her up".

$22,800 for two weeks of makeup and $150,000 in clothing. And she likes to point out elitists.

 

I think there was an entire thread by the conservatives on our site regarding Edwards' $400 haircut.

Here's another Enquirer story:

Thoughts?

So, I assume you'd hold the same standard to Joe McCain when he abused the 911 service by calling up and complaining about bad traffic?

 

Shouldn't John be held accountable for his brother? Shouldnt John be held accountable for Joe calling the people of Northern Virginia "communists"?

Georgia in play?

 

Obama, 48 percent

McCain, 47 percent

Other, 2 percent

Undecided, 3 percent

I want to see their cross-tabs and compare it to other pollsters, but they only supply the basics. Like, I want to see what they African American % is in their poll. We talked at length that is the Black vote is near 30%, Obama's got a REAL strong chance to squeaking out a win.

So killing a father of two and leaving him die is the same as calling 911 about traffic? I love the moral equivalency.

hmmmm... no. clearly you are missing the point. It's about holding one's sibling accountable for the actions of another.

Jesus... like a Juan Uribe strikeout at a pitch a foot over his head.

The news keeps getting worse for McCain:

 

Conservative legal scholar and Reagan Solicitor General Charles Fried, who just endorsed Obama, isn't just a Republican. He's actually one of McCain's campaign advisors.

 

I'm assuming Mr Freid is black.

Police sources tell KDKA that a campaign worker has now confessed to making up a story that a mugger attacked her and cut the letter "B" in her face after seeing her McCain bumper sticker [...]

 

Investigators did say that they received photos from the ATM machine and "the photographs were verified as not being the victim making the transaction."

 

This afternoon, a Pittsburgh police commander told KDKA Investigator Marty Griffin that Todd confessed to making up the story.

 

The commander added that Todd will face charges; but police have not commented on what those charges will be.

I saw a Republican Political Blogger in the AM New York today say that $150,000 would have been spent on 10 of Obama's Custom Made Suits.

 

Ummmm yeah..............

How did she get the bruises? Did she have someone beat her up?

 

What a lunatic.

 

They looked fake to me. No swelling whatsoever.

Pfft. Some Obama fan you are staying at home.

Just look at his screenname and you shouldn't be shocked.

Well played, sir.
