    Hey, you have Silver to keep your side off of window ledges. We have Drudge and links to fake data.

    Don't judge.

    I refuse to believe this. You had to be disenfranchised somehow, I mean, aren't all Obama voters?

    Raining and cold in my swing state. Lousy day to not have a car. Good for Romney.

    Or maybe he was in Philly, where thugs from the Black Panthers are monitoring the polls

    The Latino vote is going to surge! Surge! Obama is going to win Texas! And Arizona! And the moment that happens, a mob of undocumented Mexicans are going to break into Barry Goldwater's tomb in Maricopa County and parade his bones through the streets! While on their way to vote again for the president!

    It's a nice little game the Noonans and George Wills and Dick Morrises and Joe Scarboroughs have set up. Only Nate Silver needs to be right. None of them need to, because it's all by gut feel and intuition and haven't we all been wrong on those? But Silver, if he doesn't nail this to a T, he's wrong. I suspect that even an Obama victory, but by a closer margin than Silver projects, will be seen as reason enough to knock him down.

    Exactly.

    Yet I also think the voting populace to a significant number is stupid. They know little of the issues and vote like they would most popular in high school. Others have short memories. Consequently, largely lost in this election is energy is congressional elections where, with approval ratings that make Obama's look like a fucking rock star's, we should be sweeping people out on both sides of the aisle.

    And I see the Black Panthers are out today, though perhaps not in as much force as they were in 2008. Bad sign for Barack.
