Found this sad bit of clairvoyance in my inbox today:

In 2000, I received many warm emails from friends in Minnesota. There was a good bit of jolly jesting about hanging chads, overt election fraud and just all around merriment. Florida was teh new stupid.
The final day of recounting in Ramsey County in the U.S. Senate race kicked up controversy ...

Electoral-vote.com nails it:
The McCain campaign apparently has a new theme this week: attacking Obama for wanting to "spread the wealth." But it is not clear what that really means. Many Republicans have bitterly opposed the federal income tax since the 16th amendment was passed in 1913. Is McCain going to ...

In the real world, if you show up for a job interview unprepared, you don't get the job. If you have no understanding of what the job actually is that you are applying for, you won't even get the first interview.
