Something else that’s been bugging me: Rassmussen’s final poll has projected Republican turnout at +5, and he can’t make a call for the first time in his career?
Didn’t somebody do a post or a comment about peer assumptions undermining your own data? As in, Rassmussen doesn’t trust his own numbers because they’re out of whack from those of his peers, so he fudges them into line with the rest of the herd.
All the internals are shit. And all the shit points in the same direction. So, which way do you head if you don’t want to end up covered in shit?
Someone down in comments at JoM (where I first encounterd that Rassmussen Party Affiliation Poll) pointed out that Rassmussen doesn’t use his own monthly P. A. poll results directly in his national and state polling. I think the commenter said Rasmussen is currently using D+2 in his nationals, and who knows what in his state work? But he may figure *better to err on the “safe” side* than stick his neck out any further than he already does.
Confirmation bias in a whack kind of way?
I’m with Brit Hume: All the polls are wrong.
Confirmation bias is probably what I’m thinking of.
Breitbart has poll reports from the ground. Virtually 100% good news for, well, Romney.
TO McCain says Ohio looking good too.
Metals are up, possibly reflecting sentiment Obama holds. Markets up too, indicating the opposite, or perhaps that markets are so jacked up on funny money that this is actually a pro-Obama sentiment.
Great kid –don’t get cocky
lest our own confirmation lead to premature dick sucking.
confirmation bias
Early CO voting favorable.
It’s kind of a pleasure to contemplate the notion that Paul Ryan may be elected as Vice-President today. To repeat a question I’ve asked before:
Anybody know?
TEA Party election coverage has begun.
Intrade odds favor Obarry.
Will WA elect a Republican gov?
This is big: CO early voting up 4.8% Republican over 2008. If this is a bellwether, More swing states should go Romney.
I think the classic cautionary tale about the dangers of confirmation bias is Robert Millikan and Harvey Fletcher’s oil drop experiment to find the charge of a single electron.

“Online access trackers, services that provide “hits per minute” tabulations for web sites, are reporting that within 10 minutes after Huffingtonpost, a popular progressive Leftist based news site experienced a 93% drop in traffic rates after posting a vote for Obama banner which effectively blocked access to the home page. The reduced rate remained in that state until the early morning hours when the banner was finally removed. Site administraters were not available for comment.

– breitbart has also set up a voter turnout hot line by state. Example from latest tips, this ones for Jeff.
Colorado
“Friends in rural El Paso county never received absentee ballot. When they called they were told their ballot had been returned with “Deceased” written on the envelope. Due to the Romney sign in their front yard, a neighbor got in their mailbox and returned ballot.
Don’t fear! They stood in line for early voting for 3 hours.

Had to hear the couple behind me discuss the idiocy of anyone not voting for the One. It was like listening to a conversation between Scientologists with Aspergers.
Brilliant. Also stolen.
My pleasure.
Heh. BBH, I was just listening to a nervous looking Larry Sabato trying to cling to his prediction of a Bronco win by saying, “Well, yeah! It’s gonna be a squeaker, Neal (Cavuto). It’s gonna be a late night. Yada yada yada. . . ”
He had the look of a man with serious butt pucker.
They truly have no idea, Ken. Like there can never be the obverse of an idea.
Sure we can try to reduce waste buy forcing everyone into recycling programs, or what if we further refined our dumps, thus possibly saving gas, money, and time while creating more efficient jobs. Not to mention making it easier to set out the trash for the entire population.
Could that work? Yes, no? Let’s talk about it some more… shut up! Racist! Global Warming! Obey meeeee!
Confirmation Bias is a cruel dominatrix who never grants release and won’t respect safe words.
I almost feel sorry for Sabato.
If that couple who had their absentee ballots stolen out of their mailbox know who did it, I hope they get the Postmaster involved.
Meh. I don’t feel sorry for Sabato.
Just when he’d earned back my respect after the slobbering love affair he had with WJC, by sticking up for Dubya, he pulls this crap. Yesterday, he was practically bouncing in his chair like a little kid about how it was four more years, ba-by!
He’s an academic. It is what it is.
And so’s he.
Kinda funny that in a lot of respects this is a slow news day.
I want Axelrod’s mustache in a frame by tomorrow. And the backing should be a bad portrait of him looking wistful, as a sort of 2D non destructive taxidermy.

Foreign election officials amazed by trust-based U.S. voting system
Story of a near death experience: ” I felt faint and everything suddenly went dark. My life flashed before my eyes and I heard my late grandmother’s voice telling me to be at peace. I saw a light and so I followed it. Then a bus pulled up, and I boarded it and suddenly I was in Chicago voting Democrat in a local election there. Then I woke up in an ambulance headed for the hospital and the paramedic told me that I had been clinically dead for two minutes. I suspect it was the lack of oxygen that caused me to vote Democrat. “
Hehe, that’s horrible Palaeo.
You know, thinking about it, I’ve got just no desire to gloat if Romney wins. The Left has gone so hardcore stupid and corrupt, that living sanely is the best revenge.
“Romney: That’s when you know you’re gonna win”
Thats the marker I was looking for all day.
Done and dusted.

Good turn out down here may help us see the back of Bill Nelson, may it please the lord, even if we have to endure a chucklehead for the next six years.
Nope. If O loses MI, MN or PA, he loses the mustache. Or he welshes, which he will.
Missouri has a proposition for the majority to vote themselves goodies at the expense of the reviled minority of smokers. One hopes general anti-tax sentiment is strong enough to prevent it passing, especially since it’s jumping taxes by a factor of 7 1/2. With the two largest cities in the state sitting on state lines, there is considerable business brought in from adjoining states with silly tax rates on tobacco, so it’ll definitely be bad for business.

Well, I’ve got some remedial education to do.
My 3rd grader voted for Obama in the school election. Somebody told her Romney was going to close the schools and take away Big Bird.
Fortunately, my kindergartener voted for Romney. Because he’s been paying attention to what I say.
My 3 kids are in elementary school too. My 4th grader asked me who I voted for and I explained that it was between Gary Johnson and Mitt Romney, and I voted for Mitt.
I kinda gagged a little while explaining my choices, and then I warned her not to tell all the neighbors how I voted because people get really bent out of shape over politics.
The formal education will begin once I can get past all the disgust.
Off to vote with the Frau und die Kinder in a few.
Hopefully I’ll be back with a great big steaming bowl of pixels for Roddy to chow down on.
It won’t be the pixels that are steaming.
– Both because I think Slick Willey knew exactly what he was doing to Jug ears “presidential image” when he agreed to stump for him, and because the audience in this case was so apropos, here is my choice doe Bumblefucks swan song.
Just got back from Las Vegas. Nevada is in play. Obama was running a lot of ads in the LV market. Back to back ads.
I’m about to gag, listening to Obama talking about the “wonderful and hard fought campaign Romney ran.” Meanwhile, Obama has engaged in every lie and smear in the books.
Once in a while I want to cut Obama some slack because Obama is in thrall to Jarrett and company. Then Obama does what he does best, smarm.
But remember, both sides have been super hateful this whole time!
Obama calling him a women hating, magic underwear wearing idiot. Romeny politely saying his policies haven’t worked.
So equal!
Drudge reporting exit polls indicate EV tie. Also has VA, CO, IA and OH as toss ups. Puts NH, MI, NV & NH for O.

– That would be the same exit polls that had Lurch sKerry winning in a landslide until 3:30an in the morning when all the talking heads at MSNBC had to be sedated
Not looking at any election news until 9:30 MDST.
Pray for the Republic.
Hopefully, later tonight we’ll have something along the lines of a reinactment of this vid from 1980, wherein Uncle Walter & Co. try to explain how the oh-it’s-gonna-be-a-squeaker polls completely failed to show a Reagan landslide.
I’m a watch the foxnews starting in a few minutes they’re not very informative but they babble soothingly
watched that video from 1980 – it’s funny how much they all look like they want to cry.
I already have Fox news on. I decided to fully embrace the carnage.
I have some Bushmills Black to sooth me later.
Romney: I Only Wrote a Victory Speech
For whomever asked about the Cal props, its a bunch of stuff, but it all breaks down to a half dozen attempts to raise money through the old “school rooms are on fire” ploy, none of which will be spent on schools, yet another tax increase appeal, yet another try at ending the death sentence, one worthwhile prop that stops Unions from using payrole money to fund campaigns, and another to label GMO’d in foods.
Yeah. I voted no on all the “OH SHIT OUR SCHOOLS” and “OH SHIT OUR WATER” ones, no on end the death penalty, yes to stop the unions, and didn’t vote on the one about sex trafficking because I was very puzzled. I mean, yes, we should have stronger sex trafficking laws, but the fact the anti- position was written entirely by prostitutes ended up befuddling me due to (a possible canard in) the rhetoric about the War on Drugs.
Sex trafficking is not a victimless crime, but prostitution is, so I was like ?????.

Biden Jokes About Running For A Local Office At A Cleveland Campaign Stop

It would be weird if they both lost and we just went four years with no president or vice president. I’m just sayin’.

samizdata election chat room
(19:54:14) (davidcarr): Good grief the BBC is banging on about racism
Something I Facebooked my pals:
—
To my more politically leftward friends, cheer up.
Assuming the cascade preference that’s turned three major swing states red, and that’s lost Obama between 15% and 22% more independents, and that’s handed him the biggest poll loss in an October in forty years continues, a President Romney will still govern from decidedly left of center.
Social Security, a socialist program currently pilfered by the federal State enough to literally double the 235 year-old national debt, will be left intact. Medicare and the prescription drug plan, upside down six and a half times more than the national debt are also staying on.
(Did you know that your benevolent, services-providing government was under water by a hundred fifty trillion dollars and that all of that was because of social programs? Did you know that’s a decade of the country’s entire annual GDP? We can talk about public state-level pensions later; they’re underwater by tens of trillions of dollars too.)
The DHHS, with its trillion dollar a year budget, will continue to provide dependency mostly to urban America, calling it health and human services. The welfare program will continue to empower folks to swipe plastic for lobster and candy, while ordering take-out and Netflix from their iPhones. Assuming the Senate doesn’t remain insane, under President Romney the Welfare State might just not do it for nearly half the country any more. Assuming we get a budget passed, something that senate hadn’t done, illegally, for a thousand days.
The national system of failing education – adept at replacing parents and parenting with progressivism and a grimy, dim social disarray – will continue to exist as the sacred cow it’s always been. And of course, because of it you and I (well, perhaps you) will have to have your spouse work so your two incomes just cover rent and utilities. (My one income doesn’t, really).
Of course under Romney the Fed will continue to funnel vast sums out of your pockets and onto Wall Street and into the global banks and nobody except our more realistic friends will say a word about it – you know, the “Paulbots” you’ve been thinking about unfriending because of their tone. Freddie and Fannie will still corrupt the housing market with Clinton and Dodd and Frank and Obama policy and you’ll still blame Bush. Or maybe President Rmoney, as you’ll call him. Mostly because he’s Mormon and wealthy, I’m guessing.
And for fun and games, overseas drone kills will continue by the score – we’ll still infiltrate whatever we want and we’ll leave global petrodollar “interests” largely as they are to cheer and foment chaos and mayhem. Over here everything you say or do will still be monitored, and you’ll still be subject to incarceration for any reason, at any time, and for whatever length of time they say. Like being groped next month just to fly to see mom or the kids for turkey, we’ll call this “national security”. And under President Romney you’ll do nothing to reclaim your former unalienable rights.
The only losses to American Socialism under President Romney will be a few of Obama’s fifty unconstitutional czars, the most corrupt justice department and shadiest State department ever, some vanishingly small degree of federal agency abuse of your rights and liberties, a mountain of blatant, failed, alternative-energy cronyism, FLOTUS’s tacky private globetrotting and her transparent pandering to her race in that pigeon-toed church voice, and lately, Barry’s whining for you to renew his Oval Office lease in another $3 dinner lottery.
Oh, and their laughing at your trust from their next shrimp-cocktailed White House lawn party or from Air Force One rocketing its way to some all expenses paid “summit” in Switzerland or somewhere. Now they’ll just do it from the enormous enclave in Hawaii that four short years of bullshit and a couple ghost-written autobiographies bought them.
Millions of us, on the other hand, will hold on for as long as our adult children tolerate us and/or our jobs last – or our small 60-hour-a-week businesses hold on to endure their double digit tax brackets – and then we’ll “retire” on five hundred a month in savings, wonder where our Social Security “investment” went, and worry about when we’re too expensive for nationalized medicine to keep alive. Our mortgages will seem like small potatoes and since we haven’t vacationed in decades, we won’t miss those. After 38 years of full time work I know I won’t.
So you see, President Romney doesn’t really change anything, except perhaps for convincing what capital does remain “on the sidelines” to get back into the game so we’ll experience a little economic uptick. But you know this’ll be offset by the Press going back into attack mode so when the cumulative effects of a hundred years of “progressive” American statism and a wholly manipulated monetary system (same thing, I know) drive the Romney system into the mud, that Press can carp about it like the churchy moralists they are, members of the theology of the dysfunctional progressive humanism (just think of it as the opposite of liberty and function) they and the academe had established in their post-Enlightenment, postmodern, long march through the institutions. Like good little neo-collectivists.
And *classical* liberalism – that thing that gave us all of this liberty and choice and equal rights and opportunity? You’re kidding. Having seen the 250 million souls lost to their collective governments in the last century we thought we’d give it a try here at home. To call it democratic we’d keep the vote but for spice we’d launch a virulent gender, race, and class bigotry never been seen before. Because of the free speech or something.
So cheer up. Sure, Obama’s four year Marxist experiment in class envy and grievance politics and chicken-in-every-pot pandering will be tempered, but its “intellectual” establishment will feel newly outraged and the mills of intolerance and anti-American, anti-independence bigotry will reach a new, post-election fever pitch.
A President Romney will ensure that a whole new industry of criticism will arise and should the system finally suffer a well-deserved collapse, it’ll be President Romney who not only gets blamed, but will actually go on live media and accept it. Such are the ethics of our time.
Relax. No really. Nothing’s going to change much. We’ll all be in this same overloaded boat until we can’t bail it out anymore. Maybe kindly spare your fellow passengers your angst. It’s unseemly.
But mostly it’s just not necessary.

Oh well. Twitter thugs were gonna kill us all if Romney won anyway.
I’m’a gonna go ahead and call Tennessee for Romney. 11 EV for the good guy (hey, not many, but better’n WV’s 5 EVs).
I’m going to buy some iced tea. No skittles though. And I’m not wearing a hoody. Or smacking anyone’s head into the ground. So I should be okay.

No word yet on how OIHO (State #54) has voted.
Phooey. We’re going to secede if that happens. Right palaeo?
Ohio’s rural areas not reported yet.
Cali? give it back to Mexico, then have Texas fight for it back. Texas will then own Mexico, Cali, and probably most of the South American continent….Hey, cheap coffee!!
I’m going into cryogenic sleep. Like Buck Rogers. Except not in a cave. And hopefully without the creepy ‘yellow-menace’ angle when I wake up.

the problem of course, is that the economy collapsed there and everybody in OH is moving south.

yes southeastern OH is coal country… but i have no idea if precincts reporting are from the north or south… i am too scared to look.

Romney – 148 Obama – 81
Lord have mercy. I am running out to buy 10 gallon buckets to store rice and beans tomorrow.
Rural Minnesota is full of like-minded people. Maybe it’s time I joined them.
WTF? Bh, you said Wisconsin was in the bag.
Wisconsin goes to King Putt….that’s IT…Death of the American dream. CIVIL WAR anyone?
Are they completely high? They just ‘called’ WI for O with <1% of the vote in, and Romney up 50something to 41.
seriously. Philips North America announced major layoffs, Caterpillar is laying off, Lockheed is laying off..
my employer seems to be waiting for the election before it drops the hammer
I would say “I told you so” to sdferr, but I would take absolutely no joy from it.
New Calls from the Blaze:
Pennsylvania – Obama
New York – OBama
Romney -148 EV Obama -138 EV
Other Networks projecting Wisconsin for Obama

– The whore networks are going with the early call ploy after all. They just can’t help themselves.
I’m betting Mr. John Galt will be getting very active in the near future.
– They’re projecting at least a two hour extention for voting in FL.
Why the extension?
Well, I guess one good thing for me is that inflation will turn my massive debt into an insignificant amount.
Too bad for all the suckers (like my father) that saved their money.

I really need to focus on working and not watching the electoral map.
One of these things is not depressing.
Looks like the robbing of selected Peter to pay for collective Paul will go on.
In the last couple years one of my ‘liberal’ friends called me anti-feminist, us at PW racist, and in just the last week called me a hater of the poor. Another bleated on for weeks about how morally wrecked she found Mitt Romney and Paul Romney just for being Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan – not a syllable about how or why.
Both of these losers have mindsets that haven’t moved in 30 years. Children. Arrogant little minds.

This is what happens when politicians are allowed to buy votes with ‘free’ monies promised to people from the Treasury. Tytler or de Tocqueville or whomever knew how evil politician-class people work; and how stupid, greedy people will vote, and what the end results will be.
Parasites vs Hosts again.
Fox’s system is jacked. They show WI blue on the front page and with 7% in, Romney up at 57% on the state page. Get it together, Fox.
Might could see a come from behind in Fla. That panhandle county Santa Rosa, massive GOP, per Fox, is yet to be counted. About 1mm votes still uncounted and Romney down 18k with 84% in. A plausible chance to win.
NC and VA still holding.
Ohio looking no better, which is to say, looking bad.
So: Bad.
I heartily endorse this position. With a swordfish. Sideways.
Scott Brown falls to Warren. Dick lugar’s senate seat goes to Dem Donnelly. Sherrod Brown survives in Ohio. Obama winning Penn, Wisconsin, and Michigan and leading in Ohio. It’s time for you guys to get really nervous.

OH: O at 52% and R at 47% with 43% in. Judas.
Boner just lied about not letting the people down.

Aren’t the calls (more rightly projections) in WI and PA being made on exit polling? Not final tally?

New Hampshire to Obamarama.
The question is what we do if Obama wins.
This is the first time that I am truly scared and thinking like a Prepper. No other election before this one caused me to think in terms of food storage and fuel and ammo. I cannot be crazy. I can’t help but notice that the people around me who aren’t scared are the ones who are clueless and don’t ever watch the news, have no idea there is a world economic collapse looming…
they are the ones who went to bed early tonight, dreaming of the next episode of reality TV or latest version of Apple shit to buy…
JHo, I read today that metals are going to flatten and the market is going to fall. That’s like stocks and bonds both surging. What say you?
I say look out below when the bottom falls out of the market if He must not be named wins re-election.
I’ve been paying attention, so either our citizens are even stupider than I suspected or there is cheating afoot.

Electricity and fuel prices to levels where you dasn’t have your thermostat set any lower than 86 in the summer and higher than 65 in the winter.
But the third-worlders in various shitheap nations around the world will still hate us for what we were, even as Baracky brings us down to their level. For the fairness!

Gold is soaring tonight.
I did my ammo and gun buying four years ago, so there’s that.
This is quality: clicking on a state in HuffPo brings up a little state district map, with fun side panels! Like “Voter Suppression” information for that state!
DID YOU KNOW FELONS ARE DISENFRANCHISED IN FLORIDA?
I do need a few uppers, though.
So much for that new (used) car.
I’m going to go for the “all bile, all the time” attitude I think.
Morbid conspiracy lunatic thought for the night: They’ll have to kill us. They can’t afford to build prisons to hold all of us. And they won’t trust intimidation and reeducation to keep us in suppression for long.
Dean Chambers told us the polls were skewed. They weren’t skewed at all. Screw you, fat man.
I’m not an expert but from the gut everything should say that metals are the approximate inverse of paper and paper will continue to fly out of Bernanke’s ass in torrents under OBarry. The end game probably has so much money existing as to once again start burning it in stoves while none’s available to actually work with. It’ll be like available water in the middle of the ocean. It’ll kill you dead.
That said, all major systems that I can see are in artificial mode: they’re all responding like the heroin addict’s body to heroin. The second O admin may very well placate the masses enough to produce the last chapter of American fiat currency just like nothing’s wrong. Heaven knows that’s Bernanke’s entire reason for being and I doubt he’s giving up anytime soon. None of these sociopaths are.
Folks, the Fed has added some 25% to its holdings in five years, meaning the sob owns a huge swath of basically everything. I tried to warn us. In the end it — or rather whatever it is beholden to — will own everything.
And there is no finer way to perpetuate that game than within a heavily socialized game.
Gold spiked recently and aside from today’s huge uptick, was trending down by about a hundred dollars from its recent high. It’s a deeply manipulated market but I do not seeing it doing much of anything under this regime. All systems are unnatural. Everything is progressive. They’ll keep it under strict control.
We are become gods and there is nothing we cannot do, starting with basically inverting everything. The Gods of the Copybook Headings indeed.

Romney leading in vote totals for Wisconsin.
HA! “Don’t fire until you can see the whites of their eyes!”
O pulling away in FL. If this holds — and who knows if it will — the entire prag/progg Pubbie Army and all its predictions of 350 EC votes for Landslide Mitt were wrong. All of them.
I hope they’re reading. Fuck you.
Especially the jackasses who exhorted one and all to throw in behind old Landslide because, you know, seeing the handwriting and just standing straight and saying don’t tread on me while they inevitably roll over you just doesn’t cut it to pragprogg GOPpers.
So fuck them.
I didn’t vote. I expected Romney to squeak this one out by ten or fifteen but since Failshit Brokedick Little Nation appears to have validated its abysmally low character, if O wins at least I can hold my head up.
No offense to a single soul at PW, but tomorrow may very well start a whole new personal paradigm. I’m out.
If nr can hold out hope in PA I guess it’s worth noting North Carolina and Virginia still look good.
No reporting from Santa Rosa County (my County) yet. It’s heavily military so maybe Florida can still break our way.
RR leading in WI, Ace projection desk just called NC for RR. We see how the latter half of PA does – RR has to run the tables there. RR still holding a 4 pt lead in VA with 70% reporting.
Boils down to OH

Nelson wins big in FL. Morons are just scrabbling for the crumbs. Leftists have zero pride meaning they have zero shame.
As the place crumbles whose to blame us for taking whatever’s left. Surely not us.
Never voting for the GOP establishment again. Never.
Gaah – what’s happened to Sarah Palin (fnc) – she’s been broiled and dessicated.
It’s time for you guys to get really nervous.
– The fact you think so is why you’ll learn the hard way that Pleasure Island is just an illusion. But you will not listen, you don’t know how. So reality and life will be glad to teach you.
all the repubs are losing early in a state that elected repubs 2 years ago. funny stuff.
No offense taken, JHo. I think a lot of us are going to have to re-examine what we’re doing. I know I am.
As for PA, that’s with 86% of the (accursed) Philly vote in (O leads 85-15 in that county). So the O vote machine should dry up at some time. Just not clear whether R can make up the diff.
It should be quite close, either way. And the ‘call’ was ridiculously early.
Night JHo,
I’d recommend adusting fires a little though. Regardless of what some pollsters reported the left’s voters are the one’s responsible for this (projected) outcome.
If 50.1% of the U.S. wants a petulant socialist skinny little black messiah in the White House it probably didn’t matter who team R threw at them.
Judgement will be served and it won’t be pretty. Just sucks to be so close to the collateral damage ring.
She’s still looking good, for her age and with all those kids. Didn’t she buy a house in Scottsdale? would explain the dessication…

I’m afraid I didn’t mean I was out tonight, Danger. I’m out period. It’s survival mode at my place now.
Is your business already on the edge, JHo?
It’s time for you guys to get really nervous.
What’s that supposed to mean? Nervous about what? Are we going to go gently into the gulag?
I’m guessing you’re not from around here, are you boy?
– I’m not even close to conceeding yet. Obama’s lead in Ohio has fallen from 210,000 to less than 51,000 with several rural area’s yet to report. He can lose PA, as long as he holds Ohio, NC and Viginia, then it comes down to FL.
PA: Mitt needs to pick up the remaining 35% of the vote at a 60-40 rate to close the gap. Unlikely, I think. Probably end up 52-48ish in the end.
Fucking Philadelphia. (Which will have spotted O a 480K vote advantage.)
/Stoic staying ON
stolen, serr8d.
Chris Christie just won the first Nobel prize for being a petulant backstabbing bastard.
Copy JHo,
Prolly a sensible outlook. Plan for the worst and hope for the best. Just be sure to stay connected here for the reattack planning.
All businesses are on the edge, cranky, mine’s no different. Adding ten percent to the tax burden come 2013 basically tells me I’m done. I’ll move, downsize, and do some day trading to try and make the monthly nut.
Fun while it lasted if you can call a decade of difficulty fun. The next ten I figure I have ten percent chance of surviving — medical, financial, whatever.
I never ever thought things would get this bad this fast in this pathetic hive of deceit and sloth. It all comes down to an avalanche effect in personal morals. We can’t even spell honor anymore.
Huh. By the USA Today map, WI has shifted to striped pink.
Valid point. He needs FL and OH to stay in this and FL is not over yet either. Appears that a panhandle county is uncounted but whatever it is there are still 13% unreported.
Hope.
Chris Christie is now on my ‘I now hate your fat guts and I’m glad we sold our beach house in Stone Harbor’ list.
Chris Christie was Obama’s October Surprise.
Yes he was and he was a cheap little whore.
i was already in the survival mode camp, but i was hoping for more time. This is a bit of a kick in the gut because I don’t even have my little nigerian milk goats yet. Or a place to put them.
Don’t you wish just for a moment, you could be one of those clueless people that has no idea what’s coming?
I’m not throwing in the towel, but I am buying another case of ammo.
serr8d, what do the stripes mean? The page is overloaded.
The word ‘little’ doesn’t even belong on the same page as Chris Christie.
Ace — of the inestimable Ace of Polls — adds:
Yeah, kinda. Ace.
Stripes mean leaning, by vote count. Hover over a state to get the USA Today totals and percentages.
New election thread to celebrate the failure.
Seems like Colorado is gonna go the wrong way too.
Huh. By the USA Today map, WI has shifted to striped pink.
A quick glance at the page suggests that they color code based on who is currently leading in reporting numbers and doesn’t include any exit data or any other projection method.
Not to be a contrarian, but Christie did what he was elected to do and that is look after New Jersey’s interests.
And it isn’t like NJ was ever considered a swing state.
Contrast that with Obama, who flies in, does a helicopter tour with Christie and then wings it to the next campaign stop.
“Don’t you wish just for a moment, you could be one of those clueless people? that has no idea what’s coming?”

No matter who is in the WH, if the system crashes, it all goes pear shaped very quickly. The columns are sagging from the weight already put on it – that is not something that RR can change in the next year or two.
My parents already stockpiled rice and beans and guns.
My mom told me this morning that maybe I need to speed up my plans and get the little farming thing underway, instead of waiting until my other project wraps up.. I had hoped to have 2013 as breathing room… not feeling so optimistic now.. I was going to talk to my dad about it tomorrow when I’ve had some more time to think.
“This is my last election … After my election I have more flexibility,”
“I will transmit this information to Vladimir,”
Good. That’s what I’d do. Rent out your house or put it on a contract with a buyer if you don’t get a buyer right away and get out of dodge.
You can barter for the goats or for a hired man until you get the kids trained to care for them. Same with chickens.
“My parents already stockpiled rice and beans and guns.” -> Admission that you are a hoarder.
I think the present it a good time to move on your plans, missfixit. The longer you wait the more competition you’ll have.
Florida is going to come down to the wire
VA getting closer too
Rent out your house or put it on a contract with a buyer if you don’t get a buyer right away and get out of dodge.
This is exactly what I’ve been thinking. I’m not sure why I was hesitating to jump now. Probably because I’ve got some money tied up in another property I’m working on now, but it’s not a farm…it’s a very small beach property. I figured hey – at least we could do ocean fishing. lol
After tonight I’m rethinking the priority list. Scared to leap when I don’t know that I can depend on my job ..so many variables
Meh. I’m staying put, defend the homeland against the swarming, starving ObamaBots after the crash. It’s the large ‘burgs that are doomed; you see how badly New York City and it’s environs’ denizens reacted to just a few days without electricity and gasoline and ice and fresh water; imagine those luxuries gone for good.
If the taxes aren’t terrible, keep the beach property. You can will it to the kids. ; )
Hopefully, you’ll get a better idea about where your job is going and either wait to get laid off (severance pay!) or quit if there isn’t a parachute and they are waffling about letting people go.

Personally keep our shit together. Collectively seek out like-minded sorts who can press for massive change in the GOP. Unfortunately, until the back of this existent corrupted political system is broken, just completely snapped, we’ll have to stay in the framework presented to us: two Parties, one ascendent, one wounded.
So, we prepare, bide our time, and wait for the opportunity when it’s presented. Enough people might coalesce, as did the TEA Party, to crack the GOP and do different things.
Or is the GOP simply too big to fail ?
look at the bright side — he owns this fucking mess now.

Could someone please explain this:
if the economy sucks, and unemployment is high, and this is the biggest concern for most voters……..
HOW DID OBAMA WIN? mind.blown.
Dumbshits are easily led (for a while) and crooks are willing to lead them.
Those unemployed want to keep getting their free shit. Who else is their Daddy figure? Churches are decimated; they aren’t nearly as helpful as in the past. So, the Government has the biggest teat, and people who voted blue like big Obama teat.
– Wait until the job numbers start ticking upwards again and we go into a double dip recession. Then all those assholes that can’t rub two brain cells together will suddenly see they’ve just fucked themselves, so good on them. they can all suffer for all I care.
– Too bad we probably won’t see anything come of F&F, Sandy, or Benghazi.
There’s just no fuckin’ justice, BBH.
Hey at least Rush will keep his ratings, Ingraham and Levin can sell some best sellers for 4 more years.
Books or butter, OTT? It’ll come to that when the market crumbles.
Well, looks like I’m the one eating the pixels, not Roddy. I really thought this country wasn’t suicidal enough to choose four more years of fail and I was wrong. So much for the idea that representative government is self-correcting.
On the bright side, the reckoning comes sooner rather than later, terrible as that will be.
On the brighter side, we can stop worring about the Republican Party. Because it’s dead.
John Boehner will sign the death certificate in a joint ceremony with the President this December.
Yup, the GOP is as dead as a doornail.
– Heres what will most likely happen. The gridlock in congress will continue with just enough concessions to keep the government barely above water over the next six months. More debt ceiling increases, more deficit spending. But its the worst sort of bandaid.
– The multi-trillions of offshore banked money will stay where its at. The re-election of an anti-free market Socialist will do even more harm becasue now the business people will be convinced we’ve lost our minds. Double-dip by spring if not sooner.
– The Dems will double-down on the failed ideology and god knows where we’ll be by next summer. At some point there will be rebellion. The producers are not going to keep feeding the slackers. There is a limit.
– Maybe when enough of the coddled idiots of the last three generations can’t even afford internet, cell phones, and cable anymore it will finally hit them like a sledge hammer.
When the banks call all their loans in, cancel all lines of credit, and quit putting cash in the ATMs.
When the EBT cards are empty, the rent subsidy and cash assistance goes away
When the PELL grants and FAFSA loans are no more
Maybe, just maybe we’ll wake up.
But I doubt it.
small businesses are going under, major employers are laying off like they are going out of business, my parents health insurance just jumped to $900/mo (they got a letter this week about the increase) we are discussing letting go of health insurance and just taking our chances. but now it will be legally required that we buy it…
it’s not going to last long. The question is how much time!?
It was always meant as a step to single payer, missfixit.
We won’t wake up until the shooting starts.
Can they get catastrophic health insurance cheaper? I know it would be a stopgap measure before they get the government-approved health care, but going without is scary.
– I didn’t mention Obamacare because I’m absolutely convinced its another social program that in this economy is simply unsustainable, so it will fall apart of its own accord as the economy goes South. They barely begun trying to bsgin and already they’re running into insurmountable problems. Some things they’ll try to ram through by shortcuts and ham-haded edicts, but overall its going nowhere. There’s no money.
Bachmann and West are still hanging in there, barely.
– Ohio: gap 10,000 – 18% to report
– Florida: gap 50,000 – 12% lwft to report
Well, we know what the solution to those trifling obstacles are, do we not?
It is scary to go without health insurance but now they are on a fixed income, and 900/mo is too much to pay. Although my dad did have a small stroke last year.
It is nerve wracking
and the Obamanuts think that everything is just fine. I still can’t wrap my head around it
I’m guessing the solution is even more government.
What do I win?

Your turn at the QE (infinity symbol thingy) hand crank.

Hey at least Rush will keep his ratings, Ingraham and Levin can sell some best sellers for 4 more years.

Either they’re wealthy enough to pay for their own healthcare or they are already on the dole.
