Fox says that Romney is getting "giddy"

Carl Cameron says Romney is showing "levity" today. Such a prankster. On the campaign plane when one of the staffers would use the bathroom, Romney would pound on the door until they came out.

I call that being an asshole.

Shoving the kids' (and grandkids') faces in plates of butter, tripping his daughter-in-law to win a race, shoving in front of everyone at a family buffet meal and finishing before they even sit down, strapping the dog in a crate on the car roof, plus all the stories we haven't heard.

Yeah, that fits right in.

Over on the dark side of the net, they are clinging to that like it was a sign of the second coming or something.

Fox has to pull this sort of shit because they cannot afford the teabaggers getting low morale right before the election and blowing some of the down ticket races for their side.

almost crying. Very emotional...it showed on her face that she knows the race is over. Started to feel sorry and then remembered her haughty attitude.

I just posted a thread about it. I know she's tired, but I thought she looked very sad and fighting tears. She is used to getting her way.

There was a report of Cindy McCain looking very demoralized and I figured things were going our way. Their internal polling must be telling them it doesn't look good.

getting Mittens in and out of his straight jacket while he tries to shove your face into butter.

The "Mitt Stabilizer" has been "dumped on" one too many times, methinks.

Alas, I can't gin up a tear for the Duchess of Kolob. She's one nasty person and if she's miserable, it's her own damn fault.

Maybe, maybe not. Things like this are subjective. If Obama wins on Tuesday night it will mean you were probably right, but no one really knows what's going on inside someone else's head. It's hard to play Dr. Freud.

There are so many emotions that a political spouse must be feeling right now that it can be risky reading too much into it.

You know, stupid tired, or punch drunk from too many blows to the head.

He's probably starting to realize how fucking hard a president has to work.
