My total and complete obsession is starting to hit the fear stage - I'm not afraid of the Democrats losing the presidency, but I'm afraid of weird case situations. One such fear: Alaskan Democrats don't bother voting since Obama will likely be announced as the winner hours before, and Ted Stevens gets re-elected by fanatic Wasilians who want to vote for Palin anyway because they love her. And of course, the Dems have 59 senators now and need Alaska to get the filibuster-breaking 60. It's just a silly scenario I was thinking about, since, again, I am completely obsessed. Watching the full video of the Obama/Joe the Plumber interaction, it's really fascinating to see how the GOP has spun this. It looks like Obama did well and actually presented a convincing argument for his situation. Despite all this Joe the Plumber nonsense I kinda like his style - he's an expert media manipulator.
