How often can you say 'beaten at the box-office by a Hollywood Chihuahua'?

Very funny. Although, I start to perceive, in US and in the more Democrat-friendly part of the UK, a sort of paranoia. The Republicans are in the unusual role of those alleging a conspiracy whilst Obama's folk are in the uncomfortable position (as they are not used to it) of having to dissipate the doubt. Moreover, the syndrome of the imponderable overturn is hunting. The pressure is rising and I bet all Obama's supporters would give the world for it to be already the day after Election Day

Unlikely conspiracies and the paranoia of being so close
:D yeah that was funny... I wonder whether it's really necessary to dissipate doubts when your opponent is obviously throwing shit in the fan, however... I find it more disturbing than the conspiracy paranoia, because it means the audience is considered not able to distinguish between more or less acceptable/reasonable/true arguments and utter crap... which is either patronizing, if false, or scary, if true...
