THE COUNTDOWN'S ON ....

Two days to go!! Hallalujah!!

Have you gotten the endless calls? I've gotten recordings from Darrel McGraw, John McCain, Shelly Moore Capito, Anne Barth ... even invites to meet Hillary & Bill Clinton!

I will miss the pollsters who call constantly. I've lied to every single one of them. I've lied about my age, I've lied about my income level, I've lied about who I'm voting for. Right now, there's an NBC poll that has Obama winning with 52%, McCain trailing at just 48%. I wonder how many of those polled people lied?
