Today was a big day for political change. Fidel Castro officially stepped down after several hundred years in office, which is a big deal even though things will probably stay much the same under his 76-year-old baby brother.
More dramatically, Musharraf's party got utterly destroyed in Pakistan's elections, and is now a teeny-tiny minority in Parliament. As The All-Seeing Eye Of Froomkin observes, it's a bad time to be Dubya's BFF. Hey, I wonder who else could be considered Dubya's BFF...
Here's hoping that the election in Pakistan is a sign of things to come in November.

Dooood!
McVain speaking - okay I hate to sound like a broken record but his forehead is frozen. Even when he tries to raise his eyebrows they just won’t go.
McCain thanks one child, doesn’t he have more than one?
Jayt!
How can Conservative News Network be calling Wisconsin for Crazy Train with 0% counted?
McCain: “Change is bad.”
… his forehead’s not the only thing frozen …
shame!
“Eloquent but empty call for change.” McCain blechh!
Well, this is certainly a fine results thread so far, I must say…

Exit polls.
I’m getting pretty drunk off that new drinking game on “My Friends”. Sure can’t get drunk off what he’s saying…
jeebus, what an uninspiring speaker
(and piss-poor writing)….
Bush’s BFF getting crushed in Pakistan can only be good for Republicans…
McCain is promising more of the same (Bush) if he’s elected. Does he not have any access to any news other than FAUX? What a schmuck.
((( Eli )))
((( Martin Short )))
Gawd almighty. Can you imagine eight years of McCain?
McCain doing a nice job trying to mend fences round the world.
Hee. Hiya, Petro!
*shudders*
Cindy’s had to endure much, much more …
Just keep saying that, John. Just keep saying it.
This campaign brought to you by Botox.

McCain’s just showing off. Showing he can pronounce nuclear.
I was watching him today…definitely frozen.
Well, this is certainly a fine results thread so far, I must say…
this result just in - McCain wins and gets the “speech” out of the with no loss of sleep, for his supporters, family, or friends…
Mr. McCain. George W. Bush is a hard act to follow. Crank it up, boy.
McBush says he’s for CHANGE- to restore america’s faith in govt.
He’s runnin away from Clusterfuck already- but no one will notice.
Ooo! Actual results! I’ll give it a few more minutes, tho…
Mrs. McCain has that Nancy Reagan “adoring look” almost right, but there’s something missing… Oh — she’s not smiling. (Well, neither would I if I were married to him…)
McCains’ forehead looks like one of those shiny globes I see on pedastals in old ladies yards.
-G
Bet Teddy is loving Mrs. McCains cherry outfit.
Ugh. It’s W all over again. Suicide bombers with WMD…military…terrah…terrah…terrah…
Small government balanced budget, BUT big military and police forces.
Go figure.
Botox - the scowl deception. The blinking betrays though…
McCain used to be able to show some emotion in his speeches. Is he over-medicated now to prevent his temper tantrums?
Does she at least look like she is in possession of all her faculties, and not under the influence of any, ah, Chemical Enhancements?
Hello Doc. Glad your here. ;0)
oh - now we’re gonna try to win the struggle for “The Soul of Islam” - McCain
who knew?
We are up to 15 my friends and counting….geeezzzz
do they really have to show this boring embarrassing speech?
“Tricks, lies and posturing…” Why is he saying nasty things about Bush? /snark
Exit polls show McCan’t winning heavily among stupid dumbfucks.
She made the mistake of getting baited into the Michelle Obama flad, so now her background is about to get ripped open again.
Smart move Mrs. McBush.
-G
Arrgh! the Stupid the Hypocrisy he just said he would save Social Security!
And she looks it…
;0)
Novocain
flap…not flad…..
-G
I’m hearing you.
Yes. They should show *every* boring embarrassing speech by McCain from now until Election Day.
Does she at least look like she is in possession of all her faculties, and not under the influence of any, ah, Chemical Enhancements?
umm - dunno - do Barbie-Dolls get stoned?
Yep Mrs. Cindy McBush has mucho skeletons in that that der closet.
Maybe she looks so pissed because she’s not on recreational pharmaceuticals. (She’s been there, done that, stole them from her own charity…)
Plagerism…he stole “experienced”…
They have no shame.
When will the MSM ask him about it? Modo had no problem going after Edwards for a haircut. Or is she among the Frozen?
When he says experience, it sounds like his dentures slipped.
Maybe they injected her whole face with botox.
Stand up to Bush calling your daughter a bastard jerk
In TX, will he be saying, “mis amigos?”

msnbc projects obama
There goes the call for Obama
CNN may not have called it yet for Obama in Wisconsin, but if the folks at the Obama HQ are looking at the CNN exit poll data CNN has posted, they’ve got to have some very, very big smiles on their faces.
Here’s the top line of the data:
Men [43% of those voting]: Obama 61%, Clinton 35%
Women [57% of those voting]: Obama 51%, Clinton 49%
Quite frankly, unless there’s more to the exit polls than CNN has posted, I don’t see why they haven’t called it for Obama. CNN doesn’t have a margin of error listed for the polling that I can see — but I’m sure that the 61/35 split is well outside it and the 51/49 split is well within it.
Even so . . . they’re smiling at the Obama HQ.
McBush makin a positive outta bein nearly dead.
Obama wins WI–not surprising…
Lots of fun voting today :)
Obama wins
Hands Raven coke
Plagiarism?
;~P
rs Mc Cain has quite a story
http://www.salon.com/news/feat...../18/drugs/
Ding, ding, ding.
That is one of the things I find most revolting about him. Truly, he is revolting….or maybe we are revolting….
Now Hillary, do what is best for your country, go back to the Senate.
They’re far in advance of the bannana republic elections in the U.S.–they use verifiable paper ballots–we use hackable Diebold Touch.
No, not surprising at all. If he can get the people “up here” excited about voting for him, Hillary should be worried.
Dude!
Where ya been?
Not surprising–I said that this morning. Obama won MN hands down…As MN goes, so does WI, those neighbors separated by the St-Croix River…
Hillary needs to keep at it for another month or so. We need to see if Obama has distance legs.
Mo Bama
Haiatus
No no no, much too late at night!
Senator Clinton is such a sweet Jalapeno, Habanero, cheeze-head lovin’ woman–how could all those blue collars have abandoned her today?
Biodun, I don’t recall, how did Obama do in the Duluth & Northwoods? That’s the area most like “most” of Wisconsin.
Yup, you called it earlier.
I am now smiling a very big smile. In fact, to steal a line from Kipling in one of the Just So Stories (just so nobody can accuse me of plagiarism, doncha know), it’s a smile that runs ’round my face 2 times.
Isn’t technology wonderful.
Me, I’m holding out for the Diebold Phone - it doesn’t even need wifi!
Hey Mods. Would you strike my # 74. It is pretty mean spirited now that I see it.
-G
Wow, CNN is calling it early for Obama.
CNN projects Obama in WI
I kinda liked it. Maybe that’s why I’m not a mod…
Wisconsin doesn’t count.
Lahoma and I believe Obama will be our next president. And we support the new president.
Did you get my email?
With Rush.
Found out that employer didn’t like us DFH’s…
Noonan! Got stories for us? What was it like in Wisconsin today?
Might want to chill on that - ever heard of alcohol poisoning?
Persistent, aren’t we? I’ll be headed out for my caucus in about an hour and half from now!
You can go here for more detailed results than you’ll get from the national media.
Drinking all that beer her family got rich on distributing.
What the media rarely says–
Hispanic turnout in Texas in 2006 midterms–rock bottom.
African American turnout in Texas–high.
Delegates are proportional to that and most polls show Texas within the margin of error.
Absolutely…Look, my kids (19, girl; 17, boy) look like Obama, without going into details… They have tons of friends in college (girl) and high school (boy); and they know their friends parents (mostly whites; some blacks). They both told me that everyone but everyone they know–kids and parents–are all for Obama…
Theirs is the report from the field…Somethin’s happening in this country–
Ruh Roh , that don’t sound good.
Confession time–it’s icewater.
LS, have you checked that earthquake site (that I’m now addicted to)?
My lady told me Kerry would lose. And I didn’t believe her. She told me Gore wouldn’t win. I didn’t believe her. She just told me Obama would win.
I’ll dig something up…*g*
Heh, heh. I knew there was a letter missing…
I had never seen the stuff on Cindy. Addicted to painkillers stealing them and then it was covered up.
Anyone have anything on D/R ratio anywhere today? Dems still outa the ball park with turnout?
Not today. Mr. LS said it was starting up again yesterday…anything new?
I’m shitfaced already. Every time they called it for Obama, I had a double of Remy XO Excellence.
McBush wants to rebuild the trust in Washington including a Supreme Court that lacks the guts to give warrantless wiretapping’s legality a review.
GOP family values hug the guy who insults your daughter. Back up the man who lied about you and your daughter to get ahead. Say anything to become president principles be dammed.
Apparently, Wisconsin voters care more about the economy than fake plagiarism charges. Shocking!
Is it time yet to unite?
Even so, you could freeze to death. *g*
We already know St.McBush’08 is a BOT. But ever notice how much CindyBot looks a lot like LauraBot?
Our LeaderBot…how proud we should be…or so the wingnut tell us.
“Eloquent but empty”
seems to be the Repug’s new mantra.
Based on the votes counted so far, it looks like it would be a Dem landslide; but the Dem nomination isn’t as sewn up, so that might not mean much.
Lahoma is wise, and she’s right. I prayed Gore would win, and knew Kerry would lose. Obama can win.
Nice source–thanks.
just checking in - up in Canada on biz trip but w/ 3% reporting on both Ds and Rs it looks like a total of 26,000 voters D to 13,000 R
nice!
Hill’s speaking now…!
This crap about McCain’s wife’s looks is fucking stupid.
13 in a very short period of time.
Compared to illiterate,unintelligeable and empty Bush, it’s different.
As ND goes, so goes MN, goes WI….
just sayin’ *g*
She’s sounding rather hoarse…!
I check earthquakes usgs. gov almost everyday. Something weird is going on in Mexico near the border with SoCal.
I want to hear how McCain plans to pay for the war? Save Social Security etc all without (falling over laughing) raising taxes?
Gore did win. Kerry, too.
What’s up with the Cinton advance team? Cheney High School? WTF?
