Obama Just Lost Colorado

On September 9th, it looked like Barack Obama had the Colorado vote all wrapped up when Sarah Palin went swaggering around holding a Red Wings jersey. Sure enough, Obama's poll numbers went up in that battleground state, to the point that he now enjoys a comfortable lead. But, as seen in the photo above, he's tossed all that achievement aside just to pander to the unwashed savages of the wretched hell hole that is Michigan.
Also unfortunate: I now won't be voting in the election. But considering some of the really stupid reasons people have for choosing a candidate, I suppose my reason for sitting this one out is perfectly legit.
Rooting for the Red Wings is not The Change We Need.

So does this mean Colorado is not a battle state anymore? In that no one there is voting.

Bob Barr is now expected to win handily.
Go Avs! Let's get some goals!

Who?
Sorry, I’m in Canada so all we hear about is Obama/McCain.
Just behind our own candidates, of which there are too many to list.

Bob Barr
3rd party Libertarian candidate. Probably will get less than 1% of the vote everywhere (ecept Colorado).
I believe in Peter Budaj

So he’s exactly like the independents we have. Campaigning on pocket change and get around 15 total votes come election night.

Why couldn’t it have been a Lions jersey instead? Or Tigers? Or Pistons? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY???

In fairness
no one wants to be seen in a Lions jersey

Or a Tigers jersey. Or a Pistons jersey.

Lions and Tigers and Piston, OH MY!

Yikes!
The terrorists have now officially won. Btw, OT, but does anyone else think that McCain looks like an older Wallace from Wallace and Grommit?

Oh, no doubt about it. But does that mean Palin is his affable dog? Is that really a comparison we want to make? I’d hate to be misconstrued as some kind of sexist monster.

But Grommit isn’t a pitbull. And doesn’t wear lipstick. So no, I don’t think Palin can be Grommit. What if Grommit were a pig with lipstick?

This entire campaign season is going to give me an aneurysm.

I strongly support Budaj’s platform of rampant adultery.
Reminds me of Bill Clinton.

And thanks for the Avatar
I planned on switching to something Avs related come the season. You made my search early. I probably shouldn’t download it on my work computer though.

His number’s 08! I get it!
I'm sorry, Mr. Hossa, but I'm afraid we can't be friends anymore. Why? Because I hate you.

It took me like forever to figure it out! Geez.

Seeing as how he hasnt been seen with a red wings jersey yet

Hey I’m not voting either. Hell, with Wings-supporting candidates like this, it becomes like that one South Park episode, do I have to choose between a Turd Sandwich and a Giant Douche?
Uh-oh, here comes Diddy, I guess I do… lol

It’s probably just my overseas perspective talking, but surely helping decide who’s best to control the world’s most powerful nation and biggest economy is more important than whether some douchebag local functionary at a campaign stop in Detroit gave him a jersey to hold up.
Think of the bad publicity if he hadn’t held it up when offered.

Nope, sorry. In the US, we make decisions based only on raw impulse and gut reactions. No time for reason or deep thought.

How else do you think Bush got in again if it wasn’t lack of thought.
I really shouldn’t rag on US, we voted Mini-Bush in, and looks like he’s getting more time as PM.

Seriously small positives
He’s holding up the back with his name, not the front so we don’t have to see the stupid winged wheel(is that not the stupidest logo ever, whats your logo, an A with a puck leading snow down it. What about yours, a wheel with a wing on it. What the hell is it meant to signify?) and he doesn’t look happy about it either, although his wife does.
I think he’s in danger of losing his hometown support as well, he is from Chicago, right.

I think his wife is just happy that nobody has been shot yet. They are, after all, in Detroit.

But if any politician’s gonna survive Detroit, it’d be Obama. He blends in much better than McCain.
