I guess they have no faith in Ron Paul! Anyway i think the odds of "Other" coming in and sweeping the election from under our feet are slim. Everyone! here is my new plan against Obama!
Make fun of him for the tire remark! Check
Make fun of him for the pig with lipstick remark! Check
Make fun of him for being a politician with no real plan! Check
hmmmm......... What else we got?

Wait, what happens if neither gets a majority in the house (or senate) and is forced into a coalition? For example let's say a republican + republican-leaning 3rd party coalition get a majority, republicans install a speaker, and capture most (if not all) of the committe chairmanships. Does that count as REPHOUSE?

Today all polls averaged on Realclearpolitics.com show Obama at +5.9 (49.3 versus McCain's 43.4). Electoral count is Obama 264, McCain 163. Read 'em and weep.

And spent half of that on Palin's wardrobe. Oh I kid, I kid...
