Robocalls, terrorist mailers and lunatic surrogates abound.
Two weeks left to GOTV and toss them an anchor from sea to shining sea.
My friends, there's a full lineup and other goodies below.
THE LINEUP -
Meet The Press: The Colin Powell 2008 Redemption Tour. Or else its gonna be Colin Powell's Wishy-Washy Express. Hard to know which Colin will show up. Very Serious campaign discourse with Chuck Todd, professional dickweed David Brooks, Jon Meacham, Andrea Mitchell and Morning Joe Scarborough.
Tweety: NBC's Mark Whitaker, Katty Kay, Andrew Sullivan, conservative outcast Kathleen Parker. Quotes here. Parker compares Obama's FL team to General Petraeus, organizing a sunshine state surge.
This Weak: Adulterous nerd Newt Gingrich. Gingrich '12! Some roundtable with the same people repeating the same crap they did last week.
Face the Nation: Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), Passed-over-for-veep ex-Rep. Rob Portman (R-OH), Failed Missouri Gov. Matt Blunt (R) and Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine (D).
Fixed Noise: Angry Johnny. Grrr.
Late Edition with Wolf: Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO), House Permanent Minority Whip Roy Blunt (R-MO), GOP strategist Leslie Sanchez, GOP strategist Alex Castellanos, Dem strategist Jamal Simmons. Gloria Borger, Campbell Brown and Bill Schneider talk about the tightening of the polls and how great it is for McCain's comeback victory.

Palin Love:
WaPo:
He hasn't come up with a coherent agenda, and at times he has seemed rash and impulsive. And we find no way to square his professed passion for America's national security with his choice of a running mate who, no matter what her other strengths, is not prepared to be commander in chief.
Peggy Noonan:
In the end the Palin candidacy is a symptom and expression of a new vulgarization in American politics. It's no good, not for conservatism and not for the country. And yes, it is a mark against John McCain, against his judgment and idealism.
Chicago Tribune:
It is, though, hard to figure John McCain these days...McCain failed in his most important executive decision...But it's clear she is not prepared to step in at a moment's notice and serve as president. McCain put his campaign before his country.

Winning 'on points' means you lost. It's easy to see why Angry John lost all three debates. He's a bitter, peevish man. It shows.
de·mean·or: behavior toward others, outward manner
I guess this woman represents the 'real' Virginia.
I'm filing this one away for gloating on Nov. 5.

In 12 days, Halloween will be here and John Sidney McCain the Third will turn into something...different.
Be afraid. Be vewy afraid.
Be sure to put your Barack O'Lantern on your porch to ward off the evil republicans, but that's a short-term fix. For banishment that lasts, get your lazy bum to the voting booth early. And drag some friends there too.
