i’d love a clean sweep!
@ coldwarrior:
That would be AWESOME!!!! We need to pray and pray hard!
Before I drift off to lala land, I just want to say thank you to Iron Fist for diligently dissecting the poll data for us minons day after day over the past few months.
HOPE springs eternal!
And, I cannot wait until tomorrow.

@ Calo:
Indeed finally the day has come!!!
@ The Osprey:
I’ll take some ROMNESIA so I can forget the last 4 years.
i think we are in for a pleasant day tomorrow.
I have only prayed four times in my life, Once each for for my parents when the end was nearing, once for my brother on a night he was not expected to survive, and once on the eve of the 2004 Presidential election.
Tonight will be the Fifth!
I’m scared. Terrified actually.

just took a peek over at ace’s place and they have a german poster there who had some thoughts
since our boy ferb is from there *snicker*
thought I’d post this just for him
There’s been fairly regular coverage all during the day here in Germany and in fact they actually covered an Obama rally in OH live. The media here is so biased that it makes MSNBC seem fair-mindedly middle of the road. Just one of the minor forms of bias is the fact that Obama statements are generally translated directly into German while Romney statements are always summarized (negatively) by analysts. As best I can tell from my limited German Mitt Romney is actually George Bush wearing a CEO skin and he hates dogs, brown people, and uninsured children.
So it’s not surprising that Romney is losing here to Obama by 92% to 8%. I suspect even a Pol Pot-Jeff Dahmer ticket could eke out at least 5% support. The few Germans I’ve talked to about the election seem genuinely mystified that Romney is considered to even have a shot at beating Obama. The media has left Germans completely unprepared for anything other than an Obama victory so I suspect that Wednesday morning to going to be quite schockierend for them. And then I’ll get to find out whether schadenfreude really does taste better in it’s native land.

Oh, I am fully aware how much more important this one is, but in 2004, that one was no joke. The thought of john ‘effin kerry as a wartime President was unthinkable. Retrospectively, had he won in’04, he would most likely have been a one term Pres. and we would not have this ass-hat in there now.

A TIE in Dixville Notch!
First in the nation Dixville Notch, N.H. casts five votes for Obama and five votes for Romney at midnight on Election Day. It’s the first time the tiny town has ever ended in a tie for the presidential race. Its voters went for Republican candidates for governor (Ovide LaMontagne) and Congress (Rep. Charlie Bass).
For what it’s worth (and it’s all the data we have so far, so it’s worth EVERYTHING), turnout was way down from 21 in 2008, at which point there were 15 votes for Obama and six for McCain.
Heh, Moe Lane, take it away with the spin. People really are spinning this, claiming Dixville Notch is “very Republican” on Twitter.
Moe Lane@moelane
In fact, I will INDEED declare Dixville Notch to be the first failure of OfA’s ground game. There were only ten people, for God’s sakes

Hendrix got into trouble with the law twice for riding in stolen cars.[68][page needed][69]} He was given a choice between spending two years in prison or joining the Army. Hendrix chose the latter[70] and enlisted on May 31, 1961. After completing basic training at Fort Ord near Monterey in California, he was assigned to the 101st Airborne Division and stationed in Fort Campbell, Kentucky. His commanding officers and fellow soldiers considered him to be a sub-par soldier because he slept while on duty, had little regard for regulations, required constant supervision, and showed no skill as a marksman. When Hendrix also began to sleep with his guitar to keep it safe he was bullied and, on one occasion, beaten.[71] Two fellow soldiers had befriended the “outsider.” Raymond Ross, a heavyweight boxer, “stood up for him;” and Billy Cox, a bass player, understood him.[72] Cox and Hendrix often performed with other musicians on and off the base in a loosely organized band called The Casuals. This was a loyal friendship that Hendrix called upon from April 1969 until shortly before his death.
After he had served only one year, Captain Gilbert Batchman requested that Hendrix be discharged.[73] Hendrix “did not challenge the discharge request.”[74] The National Personnel Records Centre contain 98 pages documenting Hendrix’s army service, including all his infractions.[73] Private Hendrix received an honourable discharge on the basis of “unsuitability” on June 29, 1962.[75][76]

Is it just me, or does anybody else think the chances of us getting an answer tonight are pretty much slim and none? Memories of 2000 dancing in my head, but with OH in the starring role this time. I’ll be asleep before polls close in the central time zone, but I’ll be able to check in early tomorrow morning. But if I find things stuck, I won’t be surprised.
Final Post-ABC poll: Obama up 50-47 percent over Romney
Nate Silver today:

Obama: 92.0%
+14.6 since Oct. 30
Romney:

-14.6 since Oct. 30
I suspect OH will drag out for days, if not weeks, so the prime indicator to watch tonight/tomorrow will be PA.

Abraham Lincoln didn’t know Barack Obama.
First shred of anecdotal evidence:
My wife voted on the way to work and there were 30 people ahead of her when the polls opened and an equal amount filling in behind her. It’s NEVER like that.
KY is uncontested RED, but it looks like voters are showing up in droves.
@ Guggi:
It’s within the margin of erro, so it is statistically tied. Romney is up with independents in their internals, so they are still using a D+X (with X being at least 5) to get their results. If they were using a more realiztic break, Romney would be up.
Couldn’t agree more.
@ Guggi:
Lincoln always assumed that the President would at least be trying to further the cause of America. As you say, he didn’t know Barack Obama. Four more years of Obama will destroy this country. It really is that simple.
Iron Fist wrote:
The Presidency was also less powerful in Lincoln’s time.
Over the last couple of days, Obama’s really been laying on the black inflection pretty thick.
@ Iron Fist:
And Guggi, another thing to note: in 1980, the polls had things “too close to call”. Polls are only as good as the poll takers, and they all bring their own biases to the table. Most of the polls are assuming that we’ll have roughly the same turnout, and in the same proportions, as 2008. We are much more likely to have the same turnout in the same proportions as 2010. Gallup is accounting for that, and they only have Romney up by 1. That is of concern, but I’ll take that for the win. Obama will have to pull off a historical anomoly in order to win this time. Not only will he win with high unemployment (it’s not the economy, stupid!), he’ll have to overcome Romney’s high poll numbers in late October. He was scoring in the low 50s, with Obam in the mid 40s for most of the month of October. Statistically, Gallups latest poll fits that model. These things have a variability to them as it is. Ferb was all gooey that Romney had dropped 2 and Obama had risen 2 in the Rasmussen poll, but with a margine of error of 23 points, those results are statistically the same. It’ll be a close election. I’ve never deluded myself otherwise. But I think we’ll win because we’ve got the momentum and because we have the enthusiasm. Obama has neither this election.
@ MacDuff:
Lincoln himself was responsible fo raccreating a lot of that power to the Presidency. Lincoln made the Federal Government paramount, and he made the Presidency ascendant in order to win the Civil War. Subsequent Presidents have accreated more power to themselves, and none more than Obama. He is doing many things that he could not get passed through Congress through Executive fiat. The good news is what one President can make through Executive power, another can unmake. Romney can kill the EPA regulations and the drilling regulations on January 20. In six months we can be making forward progress on a number of fronts, even if the Democrats hold the Senate. We’ll see what today yields for us. I am anticipating a win, but I think it will be very close.
mornin ya’ll
here is a PSA for election night
Here’s an Hour-by-Hour Breakdown of What to Look for on Election Night
Even if the presidency isn’t decided until after midnight EST, there will be plenty of clues early in the evening on how things are going for President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney. Obama has more options for piecing together the 270 electoral votes needed for victory, so any early setbacks for Romney could be important portents of how the night will end.
Here’s a timetable for armchair election watchers on how the night will unfold, based on what time the last polls close in each state. All times are EST
FWIW
it’s gonna suck being at work all day
Will Someone in the Press Prematurely Project Obama the Winner Based on Dem-Dominated 31-State Exit Polls?
Set against this expectation, don’t be surprised if someone in the press, perhaps even at one of the big networks, gets overexcited and projects Barack Obama the election winner based on Tuesday’s early exit polls without realizing that their scope and design have changed from previous presidential elections in two fundamental ways
In early October, in a development which received far less notice than it should have, the organizations who conduct exit polling disclosed that they will no longer attempt to blanket the country, and will devote more effort to early voters
Imagine that. The exit pollsters have excluded only four tiny 2008 Obama-favoring enclaves (three states and DC) with less than 4 million people and only 14 electoral votes, while casting aside 16 McCain-supporting states with about 24% of the nation’s population and 149 electoral votes, well over half of the 270 needed for victory. How convenient.
Why exclude deep-red Texas but not deep-blue, heavily populated, and likely non-competitive California, Illinois, or New York?
Despite what ABC’s Merkel has said about the continued existence of a true “national exit poll,” it seems pretty likely that news organizations will be receiving “overall” demographic-driven exit polling results from the 31 included states similar in appearance to ones presented in previous years which included the entire country. They will clearly show Obama leading Romney (if they don’t, we’re looking at a Romney landslide of epic proportions). Murphy’s Law (anything that can go wrong, will go wrong) says there’s a high likelihood that someone either won’t notice or won’t be told that this year’s “overall” demographic results aren’t comprehensive, and will jump at the chance to break what ends up being a bogus “Obama Pulling Away” or “Obama Wins” story.
Additionally, the linked Washington Post story didn’t indicate which 15 of the 31 included states will have larger sample sizes. Demographic-driven overall reporting could easily be distorted if the larger sample sizes are included with the other 16 states without larger sample sizes without adjustment.
In short, though I hope I’m wrong, all of this looks like it has the potential to create accidental or deliberate Election Night confusion which favors the incumbent. Given the establishment press’s comprehensively dishonest and biased conduct during the 2012 presidential campaign, it would be foolish to discount that possibility
