I'm a little skeptical, because it's going to appear in the Washington Times apparently, and the mainstream media pretty much flat-out refuses to follow-up any stories they break. Also, if it's really "major," why hasn't it slipped out already? The Bush documents (forgeries, of course) story was tipped and previewed a week ahead of time.

Nonetheless, PowerLine has the (very sketchy) details.

Thanks to FrankV.

It's out of hand in Ohio-- now even illegal-alien terrorists are being signed up to vote in order to tip the balance to Kerry.

Thanks to Secure Liberty, who reports where the race now stands with analysis and links aplenty.

I can't keep up with them. Two ties: Newsweek has it knotted up nationally, 46-46, for what it's worth. And, for what it's worth, I don't think Newsweek polls are worth much.

Another poll has it deadlocked 48-48 in Pennsylvania.

But this TIPP poll -- which I've previously ignored as being out of sync with everyone else -- shows Bush opening a four point lead in the three-day track. Big Friday night for Bush-- he jumped three points. Might just be a goofy night of polling.

It's a national scandal that this country allows so mucy fraudulent voting, by design, in order to help the Democratic Party, and George Will says so:

In 2000, in heavily Democratic St. Louis, at 6:30 p.m., a judge, responding to a Democratic complaint filed in the name of a man the judge did not actually hear from (the man was dead), ordered polls to remain open until 10 p.m., three hours longer than the law allows, and ordered one voting place downtown to be open until midnight.

Before 7 p.m., all over the city, people were receiving automated, recorded phone messages from Jesse Jackson saying, "Tonight the polls in St. Louis are staying open late until 10 p.m. in your neighborhood and until midnight downtown." Between 7 and 7:30 p.m., Al Gore was calling radio stations to announce the later voting hours. Apparently the entire episode was orchestrated by the Democrats well in advance.

Just one anecdote. There are more.

Sorry for the vanity, but when a guy is nice enough to put you on the map of Blogland, you should have the courtesy to at least give it a link.

He also has some advice on building blog-traffic.

Update: I'm so on the map that the internet smear-merchants Bill O'Reilly's always warning us about have decided to peddle cheap slanders about me.

This is the most evil thing I've ever seen.

So, John Kerry has been telling the story of how he agonized about Bill Buckner's error in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series. He was just thirty yards away, he says, in attendance at the game.

Football Fans For Truth discovers he was actually at a political banquet in Boston on that date.

Could he have still attended Game 6? Maybe grabbed some chow and then rushed over to Fenway?

It would seem unlikely. Game 6 was played in New York.

Lawrence O'Donnell in full leftist meltdown.

More from PoliPundit.

And all courtesy of Wizbang, who has an interview with John O'Neill, the target of O'Donnell's meltdown.

Did I mention that you should probably think about voting? These are the people who will control our government and foreign policy if you just sit on your ass and hope Bush wins.

Update: Not really related, but if Kerry wins, America will end up the nation-state equivalent of this guy.

You should think twice about clicking on that link. It ain't pretty.

Video Daily Double Update: The Daily Recycler has the video. Thanks to Polipundit again, who wonders just how many times the very-tolerant Lawrence O'Donnell can mention "lesbian sex" during an interview.

... pretty much obvious from reading the actual quotation. So why did the reporter claim that's what he said? Why was this falsehood the story's headline?

Correction, but of course less prominent than the original article.

The media always chalks these unbelievable gaffes up as mere mistakes -- "we're just human," they say. But it seems to me that all of these alleged "mistakes" seem to inure to the benefit of the Democratic Party, and against the Republican Party.

If you toss a coin 1000 times and it comes up heads 996 times and tails 4 times, well, now, you may be experiencing the tiny end of the probability curve. Or you just might be flipping a biased coin.

Ohio remains the key. If Bush holds Ohio and Florida, he wins. It's that simple.

If he loses Ohio, he could still win, but he'd have to draw to pick up the straight.

Time now shows a 5 point Bush lead. Gone are the heady days of double-digit leads, but a lead is still a lead. 51% Bush, 46% Kerry-- and, unless my math has gotten very bad indeed, it seems to me that no number of "undecideds breaking for the challenger" can beat a man who's getting a majority of the decided vote.

Now, I still believe that anyone who wins the popular vote by 4 points or more pretty much must win the electoral college. (Alarming News disagrees, but why should we listen to her? She's merely some sort of campaign official for some important Republican candidate.) But I guess that rule might break down when a particularly important state is heading in a direction contrary to what might be expected.

In any other year, if the Republican is ahead by 3 or 4 points, the Republican wins Ohio, easily. But Ohio has been particularly hurt by the recession and slow job creation of much of the recovery. And Ohio just might go to Kerry.

This Washington Times reports on Bush's strength in Gore states Iowa, Wisconsin, New Mexico, and even Minnesota. Bush can afford to lose Ohio-- barely. Just barely.

Gotta win Ohio, though. If we lose Ohio, we're in for a very long night, and worse yet, one that probably won't have a happy ending.

Do not muck around with America:

BAGHDAD, Iraq -- The U.S. military has arrested a "senior leader" in the network run by Jordanian terror mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, along with five others during overnight raids in the insurgent stronghold of Fallujah, officials said Saturday.

American forces have stepped up operations in Fallujah in a bid to root out al-Zarqawi's terror group, Tawhid and Jihad, which is believed to operate from there. The group has been blamed in numerous suicide bombings and beheadings of foreign hostages, including recent twin blasts inside Baghdad's Green Zone, which houses the U.S and Iraqi leadership.

As Kausfiles noted, that LATimes "exclusive" about Bush putting off combat operations until after the elections turned out to be a true exclusive-- it appeared only in the LATimes, and apparently not in reality.
