I can see Russia from my house!
Sep. 16th, 2008 07:51 pm64 years ago, someone (the source is questionable) referred to presidential candidate Thomas E Dewey, a short man with a mustache and a stiff way of holding himself, as looking like "the bridegroom on the wedding cake." Up to that time, Dewey had been expected to beat Harry Truman, but some people felt that that comment poked a hole and let just enough air out of his image to drive some folks over to Truman.
The election will be close, and anything can happen, but if McCain/Palin lose, I wonder if someone will look back at Tina Fey's spot-on impersonation of Palin and look at the polls and determine that the air started leaking out of the image around that time. Granted, I was never a fan, but I can't look at that woman now without hearing "I can see Russia from my house!"
