Episode 42: Waiting for the Fat Lady to Sing
billsimmon 27 Oct 2008 | : episodes
Nine days out from the 2008 election day, and Steve and Bill are trying not to be too optimistic. The McCain campaign appears to be imploding and distractions like the Ashley Todd hoax, Joe McCain’s angry 911 call and Palin’s $15ok wardrobe can’t be helping. The electoral map is looking very favorable for Obama, but we aren’t counting chickens and the fat lady has yet to take the stage.
Bill talks about Connie Willis and time travel, the PSFR crew officially gives up on Heroes, and other SF TV is discussed in this episode.
Steve also discusses why the Joe the Plumber Tour was “blisteringly stupid,” and why the “checks and balances” argument the McCain campaign is trying this week probably won’t work.
