No matter which way you voted yesterday you must admit that this election was a historic one—for so many reasons. Some of you may be thrilled to the gills today and some of you may be a little wary, but whatever the case, you voted, you made a choice, and a new day is dawning. I’m still swelling with civic pride! Speaking of winners, did you know that the Sarah Palin Cabbage Patch Kid went for $19,000! In second was the real winner, President(!) Obama with $8,400, Senator McCain with $6,000, and VP Joe Biden bringing up the rear with $3,550.01.

We all know the race at the polls is in full effect but did you know that the “Presidential Race” on eBay is just heating up? Since the launch yesterday, there has been some major movement. Here are the most current stats…subject to change from moment to moment!

BARACK OBAMA: 50 bids, currently going for $1,225
JOE BIDEN: 40 bids, currently going for $1,025
JOHN McCAIN: 39 bids, $635
SARAH PALIN: 61 bids, currently going for $3,650

This race is so hot it needs it’s own 24-hour news coverage! Who do you think will win the eBay race? Comment and tell us!

If you watched the debate last night you probably noticed all of John McCain’s facial contortions. That man sure can blink—he would get housed in a staring contest. Besides the blinking he also scrunched, stretched, and as Tyra likes to call it “smile with the eyes.” She is the master and should have been utilized in McCain’s pre-debate media training. Can you imagine Tyra and Miss J. schooling John McCain on his body language? That would be a perfect SNL skit. Lorne Michaels, that one was for free.

With the 2nd debate behind us and the election in front of us, we are all feeling politically pooped. But it’s not all doom and gloom and financial meltdowns. We can still laugh heartily at Tina Fey’s spot on Palin impersonation as well as John Stewart and Steven Colbert’s acerbic commentary. Remember a few months back when things were heating up and the spoofs were beginning to surface? Well then you may remember this little viral video of Paris Hilton that was on Funny or Die. Thanks to eBay you can own the chair that Paris was lounging in in the video. She signed the chair “Paris Hilton, Vote ‘08 xoxo.” I can’t believe that I am about to write this but, Paris is right. Get out and vote!

They tell you to never talk about politics with friends, that it will only cause a brouhaha. Well my friends, like Mike Myers on Coffee Talk, we need to “discuss.” This week has been total and complete mayhem. Between the financial collapse, John McCain acting a fool, and Sarah Palin still milking that “Russia is my neighbor” thing in her Katie Couric interview, my head is about to come unscrewed. Just look at the spoof cover of Entertainment Weekly from this week, proof positive that the election has even invaded pop culture publications (not to mention those covers of Obama on Us Weekly and the McCains on People). Tonight’s debate (cross your fingers) is poised to give us an eye and earful. My prediction is that it will be so action packed that the networks may even consider it for the new fall Friday night lineup. Move over America’s Toughest Jobs…
