“……The irony is, the only people McCain can count on to vote for him are the very Republicans he despises — at least those of us who can get drunk enough on Election Day to pull the lever for him. In fact, we should organize parties around the country where Republicans can get drunk so they can vote for McCain. We can pass out clothespins with his name as a reminder and slogan-festooned vomit bags. The East Coast parties can post the number of drinks necessary for the task to help the West Coast parties.

Very Latest: Obama picked Senator Joe Biden, one of the top Democrats in the Senate, for his choice as VP running mate. Most pundits said it was a solid pick for Obama and would help him in the final months of the election.

207
