Politics / Humor - It's not a Barack lock
Barack Obama may be leading in most polls, but anything can happen during these last hours before the final vote. Here are just a few ways he could lose.

  • An ill-advised pledge to pardon O.J. Simpson

  • The premature introduction of his Treasury Secretary, George Soros

  • A proposal to replace the Pledge of Allegiance with the fist bump

  • The revelation that Barck Obama's aunt, who's been living illegally in the United States in a Boston public housing project, has also been collecting a disability pension for the time she worked as a prison matron at the Hanoi Hilton.

  • A surprise attack of dyslexia during a speech, resulting in: "Stupid, it's the economy!"
