7. The drape measuring doesn't work too well for republicans
In 1992, President George H.W. Bush told a Houston rally when he went to the Oval Office he expected to find Democratic candidate Bill Clinton "there measuring the drapes. Put those drapes on hold, it's going to be curtain time." Clinton unseated Bush.

In October 2006, President George W. Bush said congressional Democrats "were measuring the drapes" and planning to take control of Congress. A month later, Democrats won the House and Senate...

So, get used to the idea of losing too, McSame.

10. So on election night when the whole NE + VA, NC, FL and OH go Obama, we can assume that McCain will
still be right there trumpeting how well things are going. Maybe he can bring in Baghdad Bob as a spokesperson for Election night.

11. What else can he say?
He has to appear positive and at least attempt to look like he has some confidence.

Too little too late, about 8 years too late.

12. The Fundamentals Of Our Economy Are Still Strong
McCain is quickly becoming the political equivalent of Baghdad Bob.

14. Monty Python moment:: What are you gonna do, bleed on me?
the Black Knight continues to threaten Arthur despite getting both his arms and one of his legs cut off]
Black Knight: Right, I'll do you for that!
King Arthur: You'll what?
Black Knight: Come here!
King Arthur: What are you gonna do, bleed on me?
Black Knight: I'm invincible!
King Arthur: ...You're a loony.

Dang missed the other references.
