\"\"<\/a>It\u2019s the final week of the US election campaign\u2014FINALLY! We added a podcast today, one Friday and one next week on \u201celection eve\u201d. Then we\u2019ll collapse (hopefully from exhaustion caused by celebrating). So we start in with me talking about the alternate universe that Fox Noise operates in, and that leads into a discussion of varying looks at the Electoral College map.<\/p>\n

One major indication of how things are going is where the candidates are campaigning, and the Republicans are spending most of their time in states that should have been safe for them, but they\u2019re not. We also look at the possibility of voter fraud and vote suppression to keep Obama from winning. Which candidate can bring reconciliation to the country? The new Congress will have a lot more Democrats, but the ideology won\u2019t change much; we tell you why.<\/p>\n

A phone message lets us talk about third parties and a major reform that would let them run a campaign that could possibly win the White House. Other comments let us talk about Amendment 2 in Florida, Prop 8 in California and even a bit about Illinois politics.<\/p>\n

Next political chat will be at the end of this week.<\/p>\n
