We feel a little sorry for Pat Buchanan. A little. The forecast is kind of sucky in Buchananworld. Clearly things didn't work out for him. Although he was not a "McCainiac," the former Reform Party Presidential candidate got a second wind when Governor Sarah Palin, who once supported Buchanan, got on the ticket. She was "one of us," in Buchanan's dank, Us-versus-Them ideology (Averted Gaze).

But the crypto-racist, on Sunday's McLaughlin Group forced prediction segment, couldn't make the prediction that Obama will probably win. "The undecideds will decide this weekend," was his "prediction. Way to go out on a ledge, Pat. "Pat Buchanan gave a totally weaselly answer right there," said fellow panelist and conservative Monica Crowley.

Yup.
