It's sort of funny because he was just on Bill Maher talking about how people should vote early if possible and how they shouldn't accept a provisional ballot, etc..
I know! I saw that. That's what was so weird. I would have loved to be there when all this was happening. It sounded like he kept his cool but I'm sure the average person would have been intimidated and taken the provisional ballot.
Vonnie, here's an article about it: [link]

That was not what I read earlier! [link]
CNN calls Alabama for McCain. Out on a limb there.
I miss Robin McNeil. It's been forever, but McNeil/Lehrer was on every night growing up.
I still call it McNeil/Lehrer.

Same here. 70s liberal childhood, how I miss you.
Wow, you go change a load of laundry and a whole bunch of states get called.
Load #3 in washing machine, Load #2 in dryer, Load #1 waiting to be folded.
Texas is close!
Thanks, Jesse! I dunno. It still feels kind of dicey to call something based on projections and exit poll analysis, especially after I've read that essay earlier by whasshisface about the unreliability of exit polls. Looks like a lot of the time, they make the call when barely 1-2% of the votes have been tallied. It gives me uncomfortable feelings in my gut.
I'm a pretty much a political ignoramus (plus not an American, although living in this country) and this whole election coverage is like this prolonged, labyrinthine TV plot that's really addictive and I can't help but keep watching even though I barely understand what's going on.
