For those of you Obamatons following the political betting markets, I've got some bad news for you. As the poster for the Joe Piscopo vehicle above would hint, the oddsmakers have the race at a dead heat (as of 5pm September 10; this site updates continuously).
.
So if you're a betting man (and if you're reading this newsletter, you're probably both), I'd lay some money down on Obama, at least as a hedge against the higher taxes you will inevitably pay under his reign. Plus I think the nation's enthusiasm over the stripper/teacher from Varsity Blues* will wane considerably after she forgoes the comfort of the teleprompter in a one-on-one debate contra Biden.
.
And as always, be on the lookout for that October Surprise, one of my favorite election phenomena.

* [Editor's update: I'm very disappointed in the internet for not having a better picture than this. (Per commenter complaint, the last hyperlink I posted was a busted link) And I've tried every permutation of stripper, teacher, varsity, blues, tonie, perensky, sarah palin, "Miss Davis, will you go to the prom with me", and vpilf that I could think of in my search toolbar. You'll just have to buy the movie, which is fantastic anyway.]

I am "not authorized to view" the stripper/teacher from Varsity Blues and, dammit, I want to know why!
