You probably know about the Republican moderates supporting Obama, like Colin Powell.
What you may not have heard so much about is the amazing number of Conservative pundits who have come out in support of Obama. One example is Christopher Buckley, son of arch conservative William F. Buckley, founder of National Review.
Another is favorite Conservative talk show guest Andrew Sullivan. Here he was on Colbert last night making a strong case for Obama being the Conservative choice for president.

More Videos
We Have a Lot of Work to Do
This is one that the campaign was actually sending around to everyone on its mailing list. It shows clips from the campaign with a voiceover from Obama. One day some genius is going to make a mint by selling posters with the image at 1:55.
Take the Day Off
This next one shows Matthew Broderick asking everyone to take the day off tomorrow to help the campaign. Even if he's not your favorite actor, or you are too young to even know who the heck he is, this is still something everyone reading this blog should do. My company is patriotic enough that it actually gives us the day off, so I took today off too.
The Rising in Cleveland
This is a video of Bruce Springsteen introducing the Obama family at a rally by singing "The Rising". Its more than 5 minutes, so if you aren't fan of The Boss, you might want to just watch the first minute, then skip ahead to about 4:50.
Jay-Z
If Jay-Z is a bit more your speed (not mine, sorry) then you might be more interested in this video
World's Biggest Obama Supporter
To end on a bit of a lighter (but vaguely creepy) note, meet the world's biggest Obama supporter:

Obama on Native Issues
I found this video of a speech Obama gave on First Nation issues several months back when he made a campaign stop at the Crow Nation (first and only presidential candidate to do so).
A fair bit of this is specific to reservations, but I think lot of the issues he raised will be of great interest here in Oklahoma.

One Day More
Tomorrow is the Judgement Day.
Tomorrow we discover what our God in Heaven has in store.
Last Day of Early Voting
Today is the last day for early voting at your county election board office. The hours are 8AM to 6PM. That means everyone who gets in line by 6PM will get to vote, so feel free to run by after work.
The Tulsa County offices are at 555 North Denver. I have maps to that and other area county board offices here. It may be quite crowded, so it is suggested that you come in from the north and park in one of the nearby church parking lots. Remember that no campaign material (including shirts and buttons) is allowed in a polling place.
Volunteer Opportunities
If you'd like to do a bit more than just vote, there are still plenty of volunteer opportunities available.

McCain's House
Thanks to twoidhd for pointing this out.
With all the talk about McCain's houses, have any of you been curious what one of them would look like on the inside? Well, you are in luck. It turns out he's selling one of them, and there's a video walthrough available online. Just twelve million dollars and its all yours. Don't worry about John; he's got 8 more!
Don't listen to all that talk about John being out of touch with the common man. He has his TV room, just like you.
(click on pictures for full size image)
He's got that back deck, just like the one you worked so hard on.
He's got the enclosed wine room, just like yo...aw...who the hell am I kidding here?
The furnishings alone in these couple of rooms probably cost more than most houses in Oklahoma.
The lesson here is clear: If you get a chance to marry an heiress, do it. Don't let any silly moral consideration, like say being already married to someone else, get in your way. Particularly not if your "old" wife gets crippled and disfigured in an auto accident. Promises are made to be broken.
Remind me again, which candidate shares Oklahoma values?
