Works perfectly for me.

America might get the landslide it needs
Its all over bar the counting, it's a landslide for McPalin
And here is your (late) October surprise:
Dr Peter Millican, a philosophy don at Hertford College, Oxford, has devised a computer software program that can detect when works are by the same author by comparing favourite words and phrases
He was contacted last weekend and offered $10,000 (£6,200) to assess alleged similarities between Obama’s bestseller, Dreams from My Father, and Fugitive Days, a memoir by William Ayers.
They just get crazier and crazier
Then there is the endorsement no-one wants

Heh! That'd be great, but I'm not sure I'd be able to grow the requisite moustache.
Nah...you just have to pretend you're Australian. They come here and buy armfuls of the things and take them back to Geelong and Ryde...apparently you just can't tell the difference

That was Sean Quinn, though, his roving reporter. And what a magnificent job he's done.
Yeah, I knew that, but without Nate.......

<quote>Best reporting of the campaign for me thus far, head and shoulders<.quote>
Nate Silver is one of the stars of this campaign, EOS.

Simon, old stick! Don't tell me you're actually thinking our favourite Muslim Terrorist Socialist might... win?
Hell no....and that ethereal domain will need to freeze over before I concede. At least until 10pm EST on Tuesday (or thereabouts)
Wanna go double or nothing, Grigg? I ain't scared.
I've spent too many years in this medieval haven of black magic they call Indonesia to not be scared. Every tree and rock has a ghost in it and I don't trust anybody or anything.....
That said, I've booked a table at the US expats election party here, with multiple live feeds and I'll either be drinking to drown or drinking celebrate with others doing both of those.
And I hope like hell I'll be making a concession speech to you later that day, Giovanni.
Wanna $5 Rolex?

And in the states they're positively crumbling. They're going to lose McCain's own state and it turns out that even Georgia is a real tossup, along with its 14 electoral votes in a state where Obama has never campaigned and is only putting ads up today.
I don't think Arizona will flip. McCain is still ahead by an average of 4 points there, but I'd love to see it and I guess anything is possible. That said there is no doubt that he's doing even better at state level than in the national trackers...and things like this Republican endorsement can't hurt.
Nor can this.
Based on this poll, Louisiana is in play too. That, surely will bring our New Orleans correspondent out to tell us why it's wrong.
The road to 270 is getting tougher for McCain to find every day, it seems. He and Palin are spending the past few days of this campaign putting out fires in places they'd never have thought possible, and spitting out increasing desperate innuendos

ahhh

I have. It wasn't 'bizarre' at all! Thanks for the editorial judgement there, Associated Press.
I think the headline came from the bizarre NZ Herald rather than the AP.
The only other reference I could find to the headline was here and that linked back to guess where...
I thought it was ok...restating the themes again. He wanted to look presidential and succeeded and he has to find a way to spend those millions. I do think he deserves quite some credit over the past weeks for not responding to the slim and garbage spouted by McCain/ Palin and the swamp dwellers who inhabit large parts of their campaign.
That said, my fave Obama moment today was the man having a giggle with Jon Stewart. It's one of the few times I've heard him bother to make reference to the crazies and all their socialism / marxist twaddle, and the rest.
