This video from the USA is called Inside Obama’s Campaign Headquarters.
From British daily The Guardian:
Obama wins by landslide … in Dixville Notch and Hart’s Location
Two Republican strongholds in New Hampshire with combined population of 115 vote overwhelmingly in Democrat’s favour
Barack Obama defeated John McCain by a landslide today … but, so far, only in two small hill villages in New Hampshire.
Dixville Notch and Hart’s Location have just 115 residents between them and kept up their tradition of being the first to cast their votes on election day.
The usually Republican strongholds went for the Democratic candidate by a big margin.
In Dixville Notch, Obama notched up 15 votes to McCain’s six. In Hart’s Location they voted 17 to 10 in Obama’s favour, with two voters going for the libertarian candidate, Ron Paul. The Independent candidate, Ralph Nader, got no votes in either village.
The village also identified the very first voter in the election to be Tanner Nelson Tillotson, after his name was drawn out of a bowl. He said he voted for Obama and “wasn’t surprised” by the candidate’s win.
Dixville Notch had only voted for a Democratic candidate once before. In 1968 it bucked the national trend by voting for Hubert Humphrey rather than the Republican Richard Nixon, who went on to win the election.
The villages take pride in getting every voter to the polls at midnight on election day. Each voter gets an individual booth so there are no queues.
While New Hampshire law requires polls to open at 11am at the latest, the state allows towns to open polls earlier and then close once all registered and eligible voters have cast their ballots.
Dixville Notch has been the first to announce its votes since 1948.
Hart’s Location grew weary of the publicity of early voting and ended the tradition in 1964, but brought it back again in 1996.
The tradition began so as to allow railway workers to vote before their early morning shifts.

Dick Cheney delivers the coup de grace to John McCain’s campaign:
Note: Bush and Cheney destroy everything they touch. I am delighted to see that they are now touching the subject of McCain’s election!
But then John hearts Dick right back (or at least used to, and he hasn’t said otherwise):
The Obama camp pounced on the Cheney-McCain Love Fest immediately:

A Daily Kos user called red states blues posted this older clip from Keith Olbermann to remind us what McCain has been allied with for all these years. Watch it till the end, for the final crescendo of emotion by Keith. It’s worth it!

Note: I always worry a little bit about Keith Olbermann and Randi Rhodes, because they sound like they are just a few seconds away from having a stroke on the air…
Another older video. McCain hearts Anna Nicole Smith:
Note: The late Ms. Smith is creepy as hell…
McCain the Musical:
What do babies drink? Bottled hot water, of course. Da!
Pandora Palin, Queen of the Senate, can see Iran from her house (without blinking, no less!):
You have probably heard by now that Sarah Palin charged rape victims for their own rape kits. The following video holds nothing back on the subject. It’s terrible – but too funny:
Girls and women respond to Sarah Palin:
This is former Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger speaking his mind freely:

The Night Before Change

T’was the night before change
‘Twas the night before change
And all through the town
Tempers were flaring
Emotions all down!
We’ve has some bad years.
but we still have the house
The car has no gas
Traded the cat for a mouse.
When out on the lawn
There arose such a noise
I peered out of my window
Saw Obama and his boys
They had heard of my loss
They wanted to help
They heard I was looted
By bad republican elfs!
They mention the debt
And waste and the war
They had stole trillions
and planned to steal more.
He mentioned rich bankers
and insurance execs
They are getting millions
it comes from your checks.
We know what they’ve done,
We have all the names!
We sent some to jail
and will do more of the same.
We got Abromoff
And Cunningham too
Gone is DeLay
but we need help from you!
So think of the kids
and the debt they will pay.
Remember the war.
GO VOTE the right way!!!!

Bush’s Distasteful Boasting, Dismal Poll Numbers, Disgraceful Curiosity
& Dung – Bush History, 11/4
A year after boasting about his narrow re-election, the public gives
Bush dismal poll numbers: trustworthiness down 13%, most call Iraq a
mistake, most say Rove should leave over the CIA betrayal, only 17%
think ethics have improved over Clinton, almost 7 in 10 think we are
seriously off course. Also, an insider’s candid admission on the
president’s newspaper habits, a special commentary from Chrysler’s Lee
Iacocca, and ‘The George W. Bush Sewage Treatment Plant’

Are the Super Rich the Solution? A Review of Ralph Nader’s New Book
Written by Shane Jones
Monday, 30 November 2009
Nader’s Book – Only The Super Rich Can Save UsRalph Nader, a long time figure on the American left, has written a new book which typifies his basic political outlook, but also marks a new turn in the elucidation of his views.
In his fictional work, Only the Super Rich Can Save Us, Nader aims to change the world for the better of all… However, Nader’s past works have normally had a more “grass roots” focus… This thread, the focus on the “everyday” person, is notably dropped in his latest endeavor, instead putting forward a much more classical reformist position: calling on “enlightened” members of the ruling class to make a benevolent intervention to tend to the ills of society.
