Hm. I find Olbermann intensely amusing. In the sense that I enjoy his show; its funny in the same way O’Reilly is. I’ll admit, it’s very left-leaning, but I dont think there’s any harm in that as long as viewers realize that.

In a perfect world, he would not and should not have a show on a cable new channel (he’s funny tho, so maybe a non-new channel). But in a world with O’Reilly and Hannity, I feel he is needed to balance it out a bit.

Well it is interesting that suddenly today a Minnesota poll shows Obama only +2…while most polls from the past few days show him winning my double digits.

Obviously, we can’t know for sure the legitimacy of the numbers but oh well, all that matters is the results tomorrow…

BUT, I was thinking that it would make sense for the GOP to be getting correct numbers because people are afraid to say they’re voting for McCain because of how people react and assume you’re racist. Someone from the Obama campaign came to my house to ask who I was voting for and I said I didn’t know (my town is crazy liberal and I dunno what people would do to me or my house if they knew I hated Obama). If someone from the McCain campaign came to my house I’d be honest and say McCain.

This was very funny. Great to have a big laugh this morning. I have been scanning news channels, RCP and some polls and getting one side of the election. Anyone have info on McCain’s movement? I was surprised to see the Wright commercial on CNN.

Early voting up in our state. We don’t release our early vote info. I would like to see other states blocked from doing the same. It’s bad enough living on the West Coast and the media calling the election before I have gotten to the polls so I appreciate early voting.

i am so embarrassed that keith and i share an alma mater – Cornell…aargh. but lord knows i know his frat boy type!

i also want to reiterate that i make a living by devising, conducting & analyzing quantitative research studies with people. when we start getting a refusal rate of over 15-20% we terminate the study. otherwise it’s crap data. so when you hear that pollsters are getting 60-80% refusal rates you can safely conclude the data is crap…and this year, it’s people voting for Mac who are most likely to do the refusing — so you all tell me what we should conclude!

Great job of impersonating the pompous ass of MSNBC!

Ben did a good job. The thing I found most uncomfortable was the fact that KeithO had the chutzpah to enter and watch their closed door rehearsals. And the folks observing him and his stares felt VERY uncomfortable.

We live on the planet of reality. Keith Olbermann is a caricature of a real person. I hope with this SNL people will be able to come back to reality and see his show as the Fantasyland that it is. I just hope it isn’t too late. What I look forward to most in a McCain administration is a real man who has served his country in the military and a problem solver who has actually reached across the aisle to pass legislation. Obama is not a man who believes in one nation; he is the most divisive candidate ever. His campaign has intentionally opened the wounds of class warfare. Obama, himself, doesn’t have a record of keeping his promises and has done little to serve his country even in the Senate.

Jaysus, you are another rabid Obamabot, wishing death on anyone who doesn’t agree with you. How sick is that? BTW Jaysus, your comment is the most amateurish and witless piece of writing I could possibly imagine. I’m assuming you do it all by yourself. Did you chuckle to yourself when you completed it? Did you show it to ALL your friends? Do you think it will invoke anything other than derision in anyone unlucky enough to see it? You are worthless. Take a look in the mirror.

LOL! I don’t expect Obambi to not play the race card every time he feels like it. he and his wife, after all, are affirmative action products. Obama himself had stated that he benefitted from affirmative action in Harvard (he wrote that in a letter, forgot where I saw the post, it might be from Gateway Pundit…some conservative blog).

on a different note, ask Michael Steele how democrats used racism aginst him when he ran for LT Gov.

People have called in FCC violations, but I dunno, I’d have to check SFGate to see if they had the balls to report it. For now the only thing we can do is spread it around ourselves. Maybe send it to FOX!

They got him pretty good – even his pompous phrasing. I guess the guy’s worried about prepositions.

Got to give grumpy old guy props for being one of the first to talk about Rachel Maddow. She’s horrible and I enjoyed your video on her!

So the strategy of every time a black candidate is asked a legitimate but uncomfortable question, call the questioner a racist, is not a good one?

How can that be?

I wonder if this strategy could work for all black candidates or does it only work for a “gift from God” (Pelosi quote)such as Obama?
