"The big news this weekend is that there is no news."
That's what David Gergen just said, and I think he's right. He went on to say that Obama continues to hold a stable and significant lead. There really wasn't an October surprise, and it's difficult to see a November surprise popping up in the next 2 days.

No, it's not over, but the odds are strongly in Obama's favor.

McPalin=FAIL

4. The Obama aunt governmental leak has failed although the Republicans are
doing robocalls on it (along with everything else).

Another Epic Fail by the GOP this election.

6. I'm not relaxing yet. The stupid OBL tape was released on the Sunday night before election day.
.. if you all recall 2004. It was released on Sunday night, and it did have an impact.

Definitely in Obama's favor, and definitely not over.. you're right.

10. It might not have been a November 'surprise', maybe more like a
November 'gift basket' but that Palin/Sarkozy thing was priceless (as they say).

11. on Thursday night (maybe Wednesday?)
Gergen said that he thinks Obama has a 90% chance of winning, probably more.
