Good news Democrats! Looks like your man Barack Obama is pulling a six point lead in Ohio, a crucial swing state that has always been won by the guy who becomes president. Hmm…there must be a better way of phrasing that…okay, if you don't win in Ohio, you are pretty f*cked. The only way you are more f*cked is if you don't win in Florida, or if you do win in Florida but some old people get confused and don't punch their ballots all the way in and you see where this joke is going so let's stop here.

Anyway, according to Washington Post and ABC, 51% of voters polled in Ohio said they would vote for Barack, while only 45% said they planned on punching it for McCain and Tina Fey.

Where have we seen numbers like that before? Oh that's right, the sales results for Halloween presidential costumes on Amazon:

Sure, Obama has a slightly larger lead in the Halloween department than in real life, but can we just talk for a moment about how terrifying these masks are? They are both so terrifying. And I don't know why, but the Barack Obama one strikes me as sort of racist: like the guys over at the costume store just took their generic John Kennedy mask, darkened it up a couple shades and made the ears detachable.

Gross, America.
