I don't think you can underestimate the effect Palin had for Obama. McCain picking her really pushed some people to Obama.
Most of the small number of people that called into Dave Ramsey saying they voted for Obama cited Palin as a big reason.
Kaylee: Can I? Zoe: Sure. He's out, though. Kaylee: He did this for me, once.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Go JZ! And all the other GOTV crew everywhere.

My milkshake is totally a fauxshake, but I can't drink the real thing without dire consequences. So soy, frozen banana and sugarfree chocolate it is. And it is pretty damned tasty.
Chuckers can run within hours of birth and thei develpment process seem to be a good model for the evolutionary process of bird flight.

In 2004, John Kerry won 27% of white voters in North Carolina.
In 2008, Barack Obama is winning 37%.
Also, biggest applause of the night for Hagan (not called but sorta-kinda projected).

538 has called Hagen over Dole.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
fivethirtyeight says that Kay Hagen beat Elizabeth Dole.

Thrive to spite them
It was the 08 map a lot of counties weren't called in gray so I'm not sure.

Now tagless for your comfort.
JZ just called. She spent the whole day canvassing and is dead tired.
Aww.
She pounded the pavement for democracy.
She deserves a foot rub!
When I moaned that canvassing the Castro was kind of a wasted effort she pointed out that it helped give the party more accurate counts.
We were visited by canvassers today, too. They were just triple checking. Owen read one of the woman's Obama t-shirt and when I asked him who was going to be the next president said, "Barack Obama." It made the women very happy.
