She's too stupid. I'm afraid that great sucking sound you might hear would be from the vacuum between her ears.

Paddy Power pays out early on Obama victory
CHARLIE TAYLORThe general public may still be weighing up who came off best in the concluding US presidential debate last night but Irish bookmaker Paddy Power today said it is to pay out early on Barack Obama becoming president.

The bookmaker said this morning it is to pay out in excess of ‚¬1 million to punters who have bet on the Illinois senator taking over the world's top job in three weeks time.

More than 10,000 bets have been placed on the 2008 presidential election with Paddy Power in Ireland, with the majority placed in support of Mr Obama over the past 12 months.

Mr Obama was a massive 50/1 with Paddy Power to be the next US president back in May of 2005. One inspired punter who will be celebrating today had a long range wager of ‚¬50 at these odds which has led to a return of ‚¬2,550.

The largest single bet placed on Mr Obama was ‚¬100,000 in June at odds of 1-2 which has led to returns of whopping 150,000 today.

€œWe declare this race well and truly over and congratulate all those who backed Obama, your winnings await you. Although the Senator seemed a little off sorts in last night's final debate we believe he has done more than enough to get him across the line on November 4th. The overall betting trend has shown one way traffic for Obama since the start of the summer and punters seemed to have called it 100 per cent correct."

In January, Paddy Power paid out over ‚¬50,000 to punters who backed the senator to be nominated as the Democratic Party candidate, seven months before the party's convention took place.

The bookmaker said it continues to offer betting on the election outcome right up to and including November 4th. It said that one of its most popular bets currently on offer is predicting the winning margin of the successful nominee.

For me, it would be a better fantasy to fuck a famous porn star like Lisa Ann, than Sarah Palin, VP or not. She really doesn't do a thing for me, and I find all the sexual fantasies guys have for her to be amusing at best.

to each his own i guess

[Torurot]

Joe the "plumber", not registered to even vote, not registered with any plumbing trade associations, and behind on his taxes. Joe just an everyday doofus? Drinks the Kool aid that Dems tax higher than Reps. He ain't in the tax bracket where repugs give tax relief. Heres to ya "Joe".

Colin Powell endorsed Obama on Meet The Press today.

And Joe "The Plumber" Wurzelbacher said in an interview with Katie Couric that Obama "does a tap dance...almost as good as Sammy Davis, Jr."

Joe The Plumber

[smuttleydfs]

This coming from someone who is:

A.) Not even a licensed plumber
B.) Is about $1200 behind on his taxes
C.) Couldn't secure a loan to purchase his own plumbing company even if he "was" a licensed plumber.


Sorry but SAM (His real name) the plumber is a non-factor and is now and always has been a right winger and is playing this for all its worth and will be as irrelevant as Sarah McPalin come November 5th.

General Colin Powell is speaking with Tom Brokaw right now and to para-phrase here Because of the right wing hypocrisys and petty biases, because of his pick of the ignorant Neo-Con Sarah Palin, because of the continual bringing up of Bill Ayres, because of the racist commentaries of the right, and because and because and because............and for that reason I will be voting for Barrack Obama!!!!!!

This from the greatest military commander since Dwight Eisenhower and a sure bet to be Obama's secretary of Defense

[strocube]

This current election feels a bit strange to me. This is because I am an extremely cynical bastard. My veiw about U.S. politics is, as someone once said that, "we have a one party system with two right wings." When compared to western Europe this view certainly holds true. I also have no illusions about the deep currents of hatred and racism that run through this country. That said, I really want Obama to this fucking thing. I even sent money to his campaign and I ordered some Obama lapel buttons. I guess it's just the fact that this election actually matters to me is what feels strange.
That's all I got for now.

Based on Obama's comments in the last debate, I expect there is a good chance Richard Lugar would be in the running for that job.

I don't want to put the cart before the horse though. I am very distrusting of the voting system in the USA, I will always believe the last two potus elections were decided by voter suppression, disenfranchisement, manipulating voting machines and recount obstruction.

Until the election is officially in for Obama, I won't be resting easy. The crooked Repukelicans probably have some more plans to try to rig this one too.
