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.
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

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.
