And in non-political daily affairs, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is CaBil's birthday.
Happy birthday, CaBil! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

My sister left me an email from the future last night (it's tomorrow in NZ already): "congratulations! Guess we won't need to pick you guys up at the airport tomorrow after all. "

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

CNN has it passing 52-48, with 86% of precincts counted. The counties still being counted are trending Yes. It doesn't look good.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Here are some interesting comparisons on the electoral vote:
2000 Bush: 271 Gore: 266
Split of 5 electoral votes, with lingering dispute as to whether Bush actually won or not
2004 Bush: 286 Kerry: 252
Split of 34 electoral votes
2008 (incomplete returns) Obama: 349 McCain: 159
Split of 190 electoral votes with only 30 left in play.

Very true. It looks like a 2:1 victory. Also note that the last President to win a higher proportion of the popular vote was Bush Sr. That's no small achievement. This looks very much like a realignment election to me.
