It’s true that certain viewpoints will not be adequately represented after today. Racism, stupidity, ignorance, and vapidity will have to search out new voices and representatives, or perhaps the old ones will do just fine. I’m not too worried about it, though.

Irrelevant? So, Obama won’t be the President of all the people but just those with their hands out, huh?

I happen not to be a fan of Olberman, but even if you are, this is funny:

“Obama can be elected but not respected.”

Roper won’t be the arbiter of that. Not even a little bit. He does, however, have some control over whether he, himself, is deserving of any respect. And he’s chosen to be deserving of nothing less than contempt. Assuming anyone this side of “Atlas Shagged” will give a shit in 24 hours…

Oh, did I forget to say that ignorant fools like Woody will be irrelevant after tomorrow?

That train left the station long ago.

Watch the Republicans try to drag this out with bullshit ACORN conspiracy theories, all the while providing cover while Bush attacks Iran and Obama enters the White House in a shit storm for which he’s had no time to prepare.

No sweat, early voting by Black voters is already reaching huge numbers across the country. And California is sealed up for Obama, remember?

Weather Forecast for election day, but everyone knows that rain doesn't make a difference in black turnout. National Weather Service - Probability of Precipitation Weather.com - On Election Day, Republicans Should Hope for Rain Weather Underground - Rain hurts Democrats and helps Republicans Enjoy your rain in southern California tomorrow.

I forgot to mention the trampling of the Constitution and many peoples’ human rights. Not just of life, but also the spying and imprisonment without trial.

GM is preemptively accusing Obama of election fraud. We at least waited for Bush’s people to actually do it. Also, after illegitimately becoming president he failed to prevent the worst terrorist attack on US soil and used it as an excuse to go to war with a sovereign country (while using lies and forged evidence), causing the death of thousands of American and coalition soldiers and many, many more innocent civilians. Wow, we have been waaaayyy out of line these past few years.

Ahmed, what Roper wrote isn’t half as bad as the way you guys, especially reg, have acted over the past eight years.

You claimed that Bush was selected rather than elected, so G.M. merely states that Obama can be elected but not respected.

They were also complaining that the Democrats want a filibuster-proof majority. Because then there wouldn’t be any checks and balances. It’s funny that those are two things they care about now.

That is just the 700 Club’s way of holding out their hands for more money, thinks me.

I’m happy to report that The 700 Club is predicting an Obama win by something like 283 EVs. That’s considerably lower than it will actually be, but kudos to them for taking their heads out of the sand for a day.

“useful idiot”….Ouch!

Perhaps Hitchens does not want to be left out in the political cold after Obama is elected, or perhaps he genuinely regrets some of his positions of the past several years. Either way, he is a useful idiot at this point in time.

Jeeezus Ahmed, the poor bastard’s even crazier than I thought. That’s sad post indeed by Roper, and I can’t stand the guy.

On Hitchens, I appreciate his defense of Khaladi and his tepidly endorsing Obama, but the truth is that if he followed his own advice and instincts, in the light of what he’s been dishing out fervently these past years as a “single issue voter” allied with the most militant neocons, he’d swallow his intellectual pride and pull the lever for McCain-Paliin. This is the crowd he’s been hanging with on the biggest issues and I rather think he’s selling out McCain, who was as eager as The Hitch to invade Iraq and as unflagging in his support for their joint struggle to save The West from “Islamofascism.”
