Someone — anyone — please make her go away.
Sarah Palin brought along one of her favorite working-class heroes to a campaign rally in northern Virginia on Monday: Tito Munoz, or as he’s better known to Palin and her audiences, “Tito the builder.”
…
When Palin took the stage, she cracked to Munoz that “not since the Jackson Five has the name Tito been used so often.”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Geebus.
Meanwhile, it appears that "Fake Virginia" is way bigger than "Real Virginia."
Barack Obama has opened up an eight-point lead over Republican John McCain in Virginia, and the Democrat is entering the final week of the campaign with several core advantages when it comes to turning out his supporters, according to a new Washington Post poll.
And one of the main reasons why Virginia may go to the Democratic candidate for the first time since LBJ?
Palin also is dragging down McCain in Virginia, the poll indicates. Half of Virginia voters now have "strongly" or "somewhat" negative views of the Alaska governor, a 12 percentage-point increase from September.
Hope you enjoyed those 15 minutes, Sarah.

Bye bye Palin!
It would be so amusing to learn that McCain wants Palin to quit and she’s refusing to do so.
Well, considering that their relationship is such that they probably don’t even TALK to one another now, I would think that his communicating that issue to her might be a little bit difficult. Perhaps they will exchange memos…since he won’t use email and she seems to have too many private accounts to keep track of.
Tito? When did Tito become a prop?
Josip Broz Tito? That Tito?
He built Yugoslavia, after all….
I was wondering if Palin is going to bring her sleaze fest back here to fake CO
Cindy could send an email to Todd for her little man.
godless blogging hippies to expose Tito’s employment of undocumenteds in 5…4…3…2…
cbl the commenter
Bob the Builder couldn’t make the cut?
Remember, Paylin and her “prayer warriors” are on a mission from Gawd, so nothing will get in their way. NOTHING! MUHAHAAH!!!

They couldn’t decide between him and Bob Vila.
Do we have any idea of Tito’s annual net income? Are they trotting out another upper income bracket clown as a representative of the working class? From the first clip of Tito, however, I don’t think he’s hangin’ with the Saks crowd.
Get the hook.
Humans with functioning brains do seem to form a formidable barrier, though.
Todd is getting a little miffed at what the GOP is selling

I just saw “that one’s”…”the only one’s” final stump speech in Ohio
OMFG!
I’m a little verklempt but I gotta say there was a mythic quality to it.
It was like Jimmy Stewart meets John Gualt (the good parts) and roll in a dose of MLK and JFK and…and…and I don’t know what. It rocked so big and so bad…it’s hard to think.
She’s showing how multi-ethnic the republicans are.
now if Darrell Waltrip (from Owensboro, KY) would just come out against Miss McConnell in Kentucky…..
(ok, so yeah, I follows NASCAR…)
I can’t wait to see it!
The GOP doesn’t want anyone to feel left out, no matter what kind of caucasian they are.
Not quite to the same level but the reporter at the Lexington Herald-Leader that covers the Wildcats reported yesterday that 5 of the 6 players willing to express a Presidential preference were going for Obama. The 6th was your standard one issue voter.
Just a skad OT…or not. With all the Palin and McInsane ranting and raving about socialism and outright communism (and McInsane’s claims that “the race is tightening”) to below interview will give pause. The person who helped (literally, not hyperbole) Bush steal the election in 2004 in Ohio is now a top dog for McInsane. Listen to the interview from DemocracyNow (via truthout.org) and be worried (and angry and ready for a “surprise”).

mr cbl (oldnslow) has been a lifelong fan. this is HUGE news in NC and the region. Junior actually asks folks not just to vote for Obama, but to volunteer on his behalf – woot !
bonus redneck love for Obama
here and here
From Pinochet to Tito how mavericky
wow.
Go Cats!
(that stings a little) *g*
This tripe from Moose-o-lini deserves the Stewartesque “Pf*ck you.” Nothing more, nothing less.
Looks as if the Obama lead is holding (despite a few slips in tracking polls out this morning)- a seven point lead with a week to go should be enough.
Is it big enough to overcome the Dibold effect?
I figured given your location you’d appreciate the info and what it meant. :})
Another day, another Palin fuck up:
Palin, Republican John McCain’s running mate, also tried to burnish her foreign policy credentials by meeting here with Israel’s ambassador to the United States, apologizing for the session’s delay.
“We look forward to … working with your Jewish agency,” she told Ambassador Sallai Meridor just before her speech outside Washington.
Israel was established in 1948 as the Jewish homeland but has a secular, elected government.
It’s all making me really nostalgic for the days when there were no surnames and no middle class. We could have it that way again, if we can just get John of Sedona and Lady Sarah of the Costly Wardrobe in power.
Ms. Moose may not be familiar with the term ’secular’.
Actually, the guy she said that to used to run what’s known as “the Jewish agency.” So it’s not quite as weird as it sounds.
I just hope the Repubs didn’t plan on all the states that are in play being in play and didn’t/couldn’t get the mechanisms in place to swing the election. This is why GOTV is so crucial and Obama is rightfully concerned about complacency.
Everyone ,just click your heals and repeat after me, “make her go home, just make her go home”
It’s also why, if the Republics are out of the way, serious regulation must be applied to voting machines.
Me too, equally verklempt! I’d add to your list a little Bobby Kennedy and a fair amount of FDR………..
All in good time my sweeties- all in good time.
builders evoke for me less a blue collar constructio worker than a millionaire housing developer or general contracting proprieter. probably didn’t have the right cachet
I’m going to push my Senators Murray and Cantwell to work on it. Doubt I’ll get much support from Cathy McMorris Rodgers, but if we get enough Democratic reps, she won’t count.
They’re still fucking peasants as far as I can see
I’m listening to old songs …The police (my dad turned me on to them as a kid). Rock music with a funk baseline with a social message. damn I grew up in the wrong freaking decade
didn’t FL abandon their machines Friday…. ’cause they plain didn’t work. Diebold idiots. don’t they know that to use their machines to steal an election they have to stay ‘on’… it smoke starts coming out of em and they blow up on voters instead, then the cheating mission is not accomplished
Using 100% hand-counted paper ballots in all American elections is the only way to stop Republican criminals, thugs and traitors from stealing elections in the 21st century.
Oh yeah
don’t forget to vote!!
unstable/unable 08
Jurors in the Stevens case will begin deliberations anew as a new replacement jury joins to replace one who disappeared on “personal business”…wonder if they will report before the election?
If the Dems can squeak out this election, making all votes paper ballot only must be on the to-do list! We need to make sure of it. If the election is stolen, I would hate to see the citizens’ response. It would not be a quiet one.
The juror flew to California since her father died there. The judge was unable to reach her so he selected an alternate. They have to start over with deliberations.
She is kidding, right? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Please.make.it.stop.
Thank you. Very busy here today, ya know, makin shit. Thanks again for sharing that.
You crack me up!!!
From The Guardian, reporting US Elections 08, found this gem.

It is also a good mirror on how the world views the political carry-on.
Mmmm, wobs — ya gotta try Tower of Power.
