Voter Turn Out is Bad Business

Though much attention has been paid and condolences sent to Barack Obama for the sad passing of his grandmother Toot, I just read about the eldest daughter of Dick Durbin, the senior senator of IL. She passed on Saturday, at the brutally young age of 40, after a long struggle with congenital heart disease. So very sad.

Senator Durbin too should be celebrating Obama's victory tonight, considering his prominent role. Sad condolences for his tragic loss.

Ana,

Are you drunk? That first paragraph made no sense to me. I'm not the smartest guy I ever met, but neither am I the dumbest, either. Please invest in more proper nouns.

Disclosure: I *am* drunk.

We finally have a President who is practical, moral, and intellectual. ..............

"Surely, John McCain will want to re-think his stance on torture over this."

Plenty of spare time for that rapidly approaching.

You get paid to vote?
Coffee, doughnuts and ice-cream?
Where do I sign up?

its over:

MSNBC calls Ohio for Obama - McCain can pick up the western 3 of nev. colorado and new meixco and still lose.

I dunno, Ana. $8M for a 30-second Super Bowl spot equals 4 million Ventes, 10 million glazed or 3 million pint-sized customer incentives. There are worse ways to spend ad money. Mmmmm...voters!

On a horse-race note: has anyone gotten the über-cool TPM interactive election map to work since this afternoon? I'm. Still. Loading. (Ana: call Hodgeman and have him kick the a$$es of his PC overlords. Oh, wait, he's really a Mac...)

Which McCain stance on torture? When he was against it or for it?

I can handle it myself. You dare?I want to challenge you?pass4sure / 000-331 / 70-526 / 642-523 / 642-587

His final prediction was for Barack to get 349 electoral votes, and that's where it stands this morning (with two states yet to be determined). His final projected vote percent was Obama 52, McCain 46, which is where it stands. Maps of projected and actual look the same. Really remarkable job.
