If you had been paying attention to Lulu all these months you would know that the election will come down to this one fundamental ideal. More like one fundamental question.
Can beauty queens rule the earth?
And the answer is, of course, yes! But according to Lulu, not this particular earth. It would be the "earth" that we all know exists in the space- time continuum that is visible and accessible only to Sarah Barracud-ass and her brethren. Brethren you ask? Why. Yes. And you can find them here in Rebecca Traister's article in Salon along with my favorite clip:

"We might end up with a socialist government in office and if that happens, it might be hard to get it out," said Candice Ward, a 23-year-old Miss Kent County from Delaware. "We have a democracy right now and it's no time to lose it." Ward was wearing her tiara, and had come to support Palin, a fellow beauty pageant contestant. "She placed second runner-up in Miss Alaska, and I was third runner-up in Miss Delaware."
Surely you must have wondered who that 3.75% were who support McPalin sans McCracker? They apparently live in central Pennsylvania and they are god fearing folk who think a former quasi-teleprompter-reading-beauty-queen-runner up is just what this country needs. Or as we also heard from another corner of that alternative other earth, an All American Woman.
This is it. Three days and a few more hours to gander at the population that emerges out from under the floor boards this time of year. Halloween? Noooo. These are election maverick lovers who finally emerge from the fringe and cast their ballot for their favorite candidate who reminds them of someone they know and love. George Bush in a skirt and stilettos.
Alas, though he may never achieve becoming the President, John McCracker will still live in infamy. If you do a Yahoo search (not google) and ask for "worst republican politician" right at the top of the page will be JohnMcCain.com/contribute, and if it isn't there reload the page. It pops up as erratically as McCracker's campaign seems to be working. How's that for an endorsement? But then again, the guy was never a runner-up in any beauty contests, or was he?
Three days!
UPDATE:
ohoh. They aren't all in PA. Apparently they escaped are living in Grosse Pointe too. Lulu says that for sure this woman has a tiara from an ancient beauty contest somewhere in her home. Here you go:

"Nov 1st, 2008 | GROSSE POINTE FARMS, Mich. -- A suburban Detroit woman has decided to scare up the vote among neighborhood children by just offering treats to John McCain supporters.
Shirley Nagel of Grosse Pointe Farms, Mich., handed out candy Friday only to those who shared her support for the Republican presidential candidate and his running mate Sarah Palin. Others were turned away empty-handed.
TV station WJBK says a sign outside Nagel's house warned: "No handouts for Obama supporters, liars, tricksters or kids of supporters."
Nagel calls Democrat Barack Obama "scary." When asked about children who were turned away empty-handed and crying, she said: "Oh well. Everybody has a choice."
Fax and phone messages left at numbers for Nagel were not returned."
