Cat fud lovers of the world, unite and take over…

A special thank you to everyone who’s already donated to Scott McAdams. We’re already well past the halfway mark of our goal – can we keep the McMentum going?

Blue = Murkowski, Red = Miller

In case you’ve lost your pulse, we’ve been all over the short-circuiting, wingnuts gone wild Alaska Senate race this week. A recap of our latest coverage:

• Roundup #1: Libertarians may cut a deal, Begich backs McAdams, and more.
• Jeffmd’s projection: SSP Labs guru jeffmd busts out the slide rule, abacus, yardstick, and junior chemistry set to forecast that the outstanding ballots may not actually help Murkowski at all.
• Roundup #2: The vote count schedule, the Libertarian wish list, and McAdams on the stump.
• Staying Classy: Joe Miller puts up a tasteless tweet and then deletes it – but not before Team SSP busts his balls.
• Cat Fud: In case you didn’t see, check out the Murkowski campaign’s furious response to Miller’s tweet. Goddamn, this is the kind of Fancy Feast that is fit for human consumption!

I jump in it.

Since we’ve had some chatter in the comments on the subject lately, it’s high time we included another demographic poll in the Weekly Open Thread. So please take a moment to respond to our poll, either by checking below the fold or clicking here. I’m curious to see if the age of the average Swingnut has moved at all in recent years.

One of these days a Congressman from Michigan’s gonna come back home and build a turtle fence lose a Governor’s race!

I swear – the more I drink, the more this Congress is makin’ sense!

That last thread filled up pretty quickly, so we think it’s time for a ganja break.

Since James, Crisitunity and I are all at Netroots Nation, we’re taking a little bit of a break for the rest of the week and getting started early on the weekly open thread. Jeff is still manning the helm, and of course, if anything big breaks, we’ll hit it. But for now, have fun.

Here comes your Weekly Open Thread.
