$2000

Two thousand dollars. Two. Thousand. Dollars. That’s what I’ve now spent on medical bills for my ten-year-old dog, Heidi. And she’s still not right. She’s drinking about 3 times her normal amount of water, which can be a sign of several things, none of them good.  Back to the vet in the morning (sigh).

Sore Losers

Say what you will about Democrats, but I don’t recall them behaving anywhere near this badly after a loss.  Maybe they just have more practice.

McCain’s people, who spent the past couple of months implying that anyone who thought Sarah Palin wasn’t qualified to be VP was just an elitist, are now describing her as an out-of-control hillbilly shopoholic who didn’t know that Africa is a continent.   Nice.  And now she is finally going on TV and doing interviews.  Better late than never, I guess, but doesn’t she have a day job?

Blowout

The election is looking more like a blowout.  Both candidates are in red states on the final day of campaigning, with McCain even making a stop in Arizona.  And reports are that McCain has had to gut his get-out-the-vote efforts in order to remain competitive in advertising in the final days.

To further illustrate McCain’s dire condition, the WaPost yesterday noted that of 159 national polls taken over the past six weeks, McCain has failed to lead in a single one of them.

I’m upping my prediction to Obama by 10 points nationally, and a margin of 130 electoral votes.
