Here's the anti-Obama ads which didn't work.

I'm so glad that election is finally over. You have no idea how much I started hating all adds from all candidates as they for the most part only told me about how bad the other guy was and nothing about them. Though I do have to admit that I was curious about Childers tax troubles. I would have thought that the IRS would have had him in jail if those charges were true.

The higher the oil price goes, the less likely we are going to see a Republican president.

Wall Street has donated far more to the Obama campaign than to McCain, which has never happened in the past. Hedge fund big shots like George Soros, Warren Buffett are strongly pro Obama. OPEC already did its share of favor to Bush when they drove down the oil price from 80 to 50 during the 2006 election. They won't do that anymore for a lameduck who will be out of office soon.

So when big money and OPEC join forces, what's the odds of oil price coming down before the election?

While this does sound bad for the Repubs in Congress, it doesn't necessarily translate to the White House.

What really hurt the GOP is that the NRCC blew a huge fraction of their cash on hand ($1.3 million) trying to defend this ruby red seat (as well as LA-06 and IL-14), only to see an 8% loss. Future fundraising will be badly depressed as a consequence. I'm interested to see if there's going to be any surprise retirement announcements in the coming weeks. Or for that matter, attempted coups in their House leadership (retiring VA Rep. Tom Davis is rumored to be challenging Cole for the Chair of the NRCC)...

Those ads are terrible.

The worst part about them is the accents. Why does everyone from the southern US sound like they are mentally retarded?
