I just saw this. Awesome.

But, I like how Obama is telling his people not to declare victory right off.

And, I can't believe Palin is blaming this 'ACORN' mess on Obama? Nothing has been proven but in the past it has been proven that there was corruption within the voting places on the plus side for the Rs.

How about the people who register you to vote and telling people to leave it open that they would fill it in and then putting R? Or the people who did that and tossed the ones who were Ds?

This has happened prior and also currently.

Oh, sharing this with the kids~ I brought my son in last night to watch SNL. And, we discuss Prop h8 often with the children. {who aren't really} But, that is for another thread.....

HELP!! I think I'm addicted. I can't stop watching the SNL Palin rap.

My country 'tis of thee
From my porch I can see
Russia and such...

ALL THE MAVERICKS IN THE HOUSE PUT YOUR HANDS UP!!

Liked the rap.
:D

A couple of other things:
Amy Poelher: Funny as heck, you betcha. The woman is rapping and still working on the show and is like ready to give birth like right this second.
Sketch: On the whole, the sketch was funny-ish.
The Real Sarah Palin: Not all that funny. Lame. Good sport, but boring to watch.
Tina Fey: More interesting to watch as Sarah Palin than Sarah Palin is.
Seth Meyers: Cute cute cute freakin' smile. I'm in love.
Last night's SNL: Outside of Mark Wahlberg, the rap and the Tina/Palin sketch at the beginning... SUCKED! In fact, SNL (outside of their recent political stuff) is sucking suck juice.

:D

I thought the rap was decent, but I thought they could have gone a thousand different places with Palin and kind of just let her sit there... The short shot where Palin and Fey crossed paths at the beginning was great.
:D

:D

"Caribou Barbie" = freakin' funny, you betcha.
:D

OhIknow. Looks like she should have had that baby last week.

Most definitely.

He is really cute, but Andy Samberg makes me laugh more, which means he is cuter to me. Funny and/or nice = crushworthy. Both = totally swoonworthy.

Agreed. Usually when I watch I end up asking myself why I did. But in between the suckage, every now and then there is something really hilarious, so I never completely give up on it. Plus, you know, Andy Samberg. :D

Predictably, conservative pundits are doing some serious sour-graping over the Colin Powell endorsement.

I guess George Will forgot about his negative comments regarding John McCain a few weeks ago. He probably got spanked by the Party. I loved this: (not)

"There will be "some impact," Will declared. "And I think this adds to my calculation -- this is very hard to measure -- but it seems to me if we had the tools to measure we'd find that Barack Obama gets two votes because he's black for every one he loses because he's black because so much of this country is so eager, a, to feel good about itself by doing this, but more than that to put paid to the whole Al Sharpton/Jesse Jackson game of political rhetoric."


What a ****ing idiot. Yeah, I'm voting for Obama because of white guilt. That's it. McCain is just so much more superior, but I just want to feel good about electing a black man so I'm going with the other candidate. THIS is why they will lose this election- could you be any more in denial and out of touch with the citizenry of this country?

I think what he's talking about is related to the Bradley effect (referring to, i think, a CA governors election?).

The Bradley effect is basically that white people lied to pollsters about who they voted for because they didn't want anyone to think they didn't vote for Bradley because he was black. Polling showed Bradley was going to win by double digits, but he lost.

Conversely, I would suppose there are a lot of people who feel guilty about racism and may indeed vote for a black man simply because he is black. Isn't that as valid as the accusation that many won't vote for him because he is black?

Well, I know people who are voting for McCain because he is old. The last, dying gasp of the elder Boomers, who still want to be the big societal influence they've always been as a group and can't stand the thought of letting the next generation have a whack at running things. I've had many discussions with such persons, and even though they might have little in common with McCain ideologically they are tempted to vote for him merely because he's in their age range. So sure, there are people who will vote for Obama because he's a black man, but I'm not so sure I buy Scaeagle's Bradley explanation. I cannot see where in that statement that Will mentions this- he's seems pretty specific about the black guilt thing actually moving people to cast a vote, not lying to pollsters.
