I Had Been Repeating That The Internet Changed Everything

by Smitty That notion was handed to me. Apparently, it has to get worse before it gets better. At least we won’t hear about how we should get rid of the electoral college for another four years. A broader point that needs to sink home is that, given a choice between Party A and Party Mostly […]

ELECTION NIGHT RESULTS HQ; UPDATE: OBAMA WINS RE-ELECTION; AMERICA HOPELESSLY DOOMED

GAHANNA, Ohio UPDATE 10:35 p.m. ET: It’s over, folks: Obama wins Wisconsin, which invalidates any remaining alternative path to 27o for Mitt Romney. Florida looks very much like a loss for Romney, who will hang on to North Carolina and, maybe, Virginia, but that’s not enough if Florida is gone. The last time I looked […]

ELECTION DAY UPDATES

GAHANNA, Ohio Years of Election Day coverage have provided me with a traditional routine: Sleep late or get a nap and ignore as much of the inevitable panic as I can. Remember the absurd reaction to the 2004 exit polls? A leak of morning results gave Democrats a false hope of victory. That was followed (as […]

OHIO: ROMNEY AIRPORT RALLY — LOOKING LIKE A WINNER, MITT!

Jackie Romine of Reynoldsburg, Ohio, sends a message to the press corps at Romney’s rally Friday GAHANNA, Ohio Last night’s rally at the Columbus Airport was a wonderful experience.

Wild-Ass Scenarios? Chill.

WILMINGTON, Ohio Prudence Paine had asked me to submit an Electoral College prediction map and, while Smitty played the game, I chose to abstain. It’s just not what I do. I once won an office pool by correctly guessing the length of a Bill Clinton State of the Union speech, but I suck at election […]

OHIO: IT’S MITT’S TO WIN

Volunteers make calls at Americans for Prosperity phone bank in Ohio BLUE ASH, Ohio We’re at the center of the storm — ground zero of the entire presidential campaign — and you’d think this might provide some special insight into the ultimate outcome of the election. Not so. Ali’s spent the morning pondering the Electoral […]

@PruPaine #JustABlogger Electoral Vote Entry: Don’t Settle For Egg On Obama’s Face; Give It The Full Omelette

by Smitty Commies in Seattle, Frisco, Chicago, and New York are going to have a pounding hangover to match the pounding #OccupyResoluteDesk takes tomorrow: Click the map to join the fray. As a backup position, I predict that BHO doesn’t crest 200 in the electrical collage, even with states 51-57: #ObamaGoogleHistory If I lose 50 […]
