Tomorrow is election day, and you’re voting, right? You better be. Not only will you get to have a hand in deciding who is going to rule our country for the next four years, but a bunch of companies are giving voters free stuff and discounts, too! After you’ve cast your vote, drink a cup of coffee, get a new sex toy, and pick up a new outfit. Aren’t you proud to be an American?

Fashion designer Zac Posen is looking for stylish self-portraits of pollsters for Fashion the Vote. Tomorrow at the polls, take a photograph of yourself voting in your election finest—whether it’s homemade or high-end—send Zac your picture, and he’ll post it to the website for all to admire. The only challenge is that it appears you have to vote for Obama to make the cut. Of course, maybe if you send him a pic of yourself voting for McCain in your favorite Palin-inspired outfit, he’ll post that, too. Or, well, maybe not. [Fashionista]

After months and months of a heated, nail-biting, historic presidential race, Election Day is finally upon us, and if you’re like a lot of us who are passionately invested in the outcome, chances are the pressure and anxiety at this point is downright overwhelming. So after the jump, ten tips for overcoming Election Day anxiety (or, ten tips to at least survive the day, regardless of who wins)...

Finally. The longest Presidential election EVER finally comes to an end on Tuesday! Well, hopefully. Remember back in 2000 when it dragged on and on for months AFTER election day? Yeah, that was a scream. Anyway, we sent our girl Lori out to ask people on the streets of New York who they’re voting for. Clearly NYC is swinging in one particular direction.

Hey, newsflash, TODAY is Halloween! Something tells us that we’ll be seeing many, many, many Sarah Palins trolling the streets this year, in her many incarnations—but what the darn heck do you think Palin is going to be? Let your imagination run wild, and dress up Sarah Palin for Halloween as YOU’D like to see her. After the jump, you can mix and match outfits for the vice president in training—from dominatrix to beauty queen to wicked witch. It’s like playing with paper dolls, only political. You don’t expect the Governor of Alaska to trick-or-treat naked do you?

Campaigning for the upcoming presidential election is winding down, but we thought you might like to revisit some tender moments the Obamas had while visiting state after state after state. Do you think they’ve had sex in all 50 yet?

So today, from Ryan Adams to Bloc Party, all this great new music came out!  But if we had one fantasy album we’d like to see fulfilled, it’d be this hot piece by Jamie Boling.  Last week, at the World of Wonder Gallery in LA, (known for eccentric shows like the ”Golden Gals Gone Wild Show” which featured an S&M Betty White), proudly displayed a hybrid that will give you an even bigger charge than the environmentally sound car:  Barack Obama + Prince= one sexy motherf**ker! [World of Wonder]

“Adult product” companies aren’t the only ones making dolls in Sarah Palin’s likeness. Those chubby-faced Cabbage Patch Kids are trying to stay relevant, or make us nostalgic, by producing four one-of-a-kind dolls in the likeness of Barack Obama, John McCain, Joe Biden, and Palin. Starting Thursday, the dolls will be auctioned on eBay with the proceeds benefiting the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation. The Palin doll scares us—it’s outfitted in a red suit, high heels, frame-less glasses, and an American flag pin. “Kids” should not be allowed to wear stilettos.

Shudder to think what would happen to Sin City, Las Vegas, if a bunch of Sarah Palin impersonators took over Elvis’ territory! But her dopplegangers do make for a hilarious installment of one of our favorite columns on Nerve—Dating Advice.  They’ve asked everyone from sailors to handwriting experts to analyze sex related situations and give their take. And now they’ve had the Nerve to ask: W.W.S.P.D.?  (Umm, that’s “What Would Sarah Palin Do?”) Some of our fave highlights after the jump!

It’s easy to forget with a Presidential election as exciting as this one that there are actually many, many, many people and bills on the ballot November 4th besides Barack Obama and John McCain. One of the issues that got our attention early is Proposition K, a San Francisco proposal that would decriminalize prostitution in the city. If passed, the law would forbid local authorities from investigating, arresting or prosecuting anyone for selling sex. The ballot measure still technically would not legalize prostitution since state law still prohibits it, but Proposition K would eliminate the power of local law enforcement officials to go after prostitutes. The local Democratic Party has endorsed the measure, but the majority of actual local government officials are opposed. A similar measure in Berkeley lost in 2006—while San Francisco is typically a liberal-leaning city, it’s pretty up in the air as to whether this Proposition will pass with voters. If it does, SF will become the first major U.S. city to decriminalize sex work. With that in mind, vote in our poll! [The Huffington Post]

Politico reported that the Republican National Committee has spent more than $150,000 on clothes and accessories for Sarah Palin and her family since she became the party’s vice presidential candidate in late August. This handsome allowance included spending sprees worth $49,425.75 at Saks Fifth Avenue, $75,062.63 at Neiman Marcus, and $4716.40 on hair and makeup. We’re not sure why America’s favorite model hockey mom is spending so much on her wardrobe when she could be shopping for similar styles at strip malls. Below, we show her how to get the same looks for less.

This weekend, Sarah Palin finally made her much anticipated appearance on “Saturday Night Live”, showing up in two skits written just for her. To tell you the truth, it seemed like the show was actually laughing at Palin rather than with her—the second skit, featuring Amy Poehler rapping, was seriously pretty…insulting. Additionally, the “highlight” of the first sketch was when Alec Baldwin told Palin that she was “hotter in person.” Considering her campaign thought Tina Fey’s portrayal was sexist, it was very interesting that she participated in a comedy routine which only focused on her physical appearance. Personally, this just supports my theory that the most sexist treatment of Palin comes from Palin herself.

Last night Governor Sarah Palin, the Republican nominee for Vice-President, made not one, but two cameos on “Saturday Night Live”. I have to say, she was pretty funny! Although, if she and her handlers think all the talk of her hotness is sexist, is she contributing to the sexism by doing a skit where Alec Baldwin tells her she’s “way hotter in person”? Whatever, I laughed. Above, her first cameo (featuring special guests Tina Fey, Alec Baldwin, AND Mark “Say Hi To Your Motha For Me” Wahlberg, and after the jump, the second, in which she thankfully does NOT rap.

During last night’s final presidential debate, in addition to stroking Joe The Plumber’s ego, John McCain used oh-so-retro air quotes to emphasize his stance on abortion and abortion legislation.

Just again, the example of the eloquence of Senator Obama. He’s [for] health for the mother. You know, that’s been stretched by the pro-abortion movement in America to mean almost anything. That’s the extreme pro-abortion position, quote, ‘health.’

All the air quotes really did was call my attention to that notion—the health of the mother—and what that really means. By the tone of McCain’s fingers, you’d think that means when the woman has a cold, she can have a late-term abortion. So I decided to find out, in general, what the “health of the mother” really entails.

In last night’s final presidential debate, “Joe The Plumber” was mentioned by the candidates NINE times. You know what that means? Joe The Plumber is famous! More famously than Joe Six-Pack even! So who the hell IS Joe The Plumber, besides an obviously perfect name for a stock porn character? Well, turns out Joe The Plumber is, in fact, a real dude by the name of Joe Wurzelbacher. Hailing from Toledo, Ohio, the reason why he was discussed so frequently during the debate is because Joe plans to open his own plumbing business. McCain alleges that under Obama’s tax plan, Joe’s taxes would be raised because his small business could make more than $250,000; Obama says that his desire isn’t to punish successful small business owners like Joe, it’s that he wants to spread the wealth and allow other people to succeed as well. Whatever—you can decide how you feel about their tax plans when you go to vote on November 4th. More important, however, is what Joe The Plumber is going to do with his newfound fame! Acting as his imaginary agent/manager, I have some ideas…

Election tension is boiling over; it seems like everyone from the office blowhard to the person in front of you at the post office is spouting off opinions that make your blood boil. But what happens when the one disagreeing with you shares your bedroom? Here are ten tips to help you make it to November 4th without resorting to the taser gun, after the jump…

And he’s going to prove it, whether this little rugrat likes it or not! [Bethlehem, PA, 10/08/08]

Yesterday we posted about the new website “Yes We Can (Hold Babies)”, a blog comprised of adorable Pro-Obama babies and babies being held by the Democratic Presidential candidate.  Then we noticed a strange thing: while it’s easy to find plenty of Associated Press photos of Obama holding and smooching little rugrats, McCain is rarely photographed with babies (see above EXCLUSIVE PROOF). Of the results for McCain, none of them actually featured the Senator HOLDING a child, though one was of him standing in front of a picture of a fetus. So what does this mean? Does the photographic record show that McCain HATES babies? Weigh in!

Second Presidential debate down, one more to go before we vote in November! Hooray! Last night’s debate between Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain was done in the “town hall” style, in which Average Joe (Sixpacks!) asked some of the questions, while moderator Tom Brokaw directed. While mind-numbingly boring at times, most pundits from all the major networks agree—Obama took this one, hands down. But what were the real highlights of the night? My observations, after the jump…

I’m not sure, but Barack Obama supporters certainly have a lot of cute examples if they decide to use that as campaign fodder. Oh wait! They have! “Yes We Can (Hold Babies)” has already launched and it’s filled with adorableness. But what about McCain? While there’s no site called “Country First (Babies Too!)” (snatching that URL up, pronto!), I tried to find a picture of McCain doing some infant nuzzling on AP. No such luck. After the jump, the closest thing I could find….
