Kirk would be a REAL maverick. I’m sure there’s a Kirk out there in the world, but he’s already pissed off too many people to get elected to office, because he refuses to play by the rules.

Remaining hopeful that all will end with the election as it ought to for the best...for all of us. Yours from Ottawa, Dwight The Business of the Senator’s Aunt seems as if it can be filed safely under “too little, too late” tactics.

Remaining hopeful that all will end with the election as it ought to for the best…for all of us.

Who knows, there's still time, but the window is closing. (I gave up on the bin Laden-endorsing-Obama gambit after one of the cable TV anchor pundits asked a GOP strategist whether McCain's only hope was bin Laden bailing him out. When the TV gasbags are that openly cynical, the move probably wouldn't work. This isn't 2004, after all.) However, I see today that we have the Obama-aunt-is-an-illegal alien story from somebody in the federal government courtesy of the AP. Maybe that'll work with some of the drooling moron undecided voters, but it seems a little lame at this point. Still, as a confirmed pessimist and a liberal, I'm white-knucking it until Brian Williams tells me late Tuesday night that NBC is calling it for Obama. I'll feel better if, at 7 p.m., he tells me that Obama carried Virginia. And even after Brian calls the election for me, I'll still wonder what the Republicans will try to do on Wednesday to steal the election. However, when I see the Villagers telling me no more than 48 hours after the election how the Obama presidency has failed even before it has begun, I'll truly know that we have won.
