Ohio has Obama at 59%, but the ABC people keep saying it's because of the early votes, as if today's votes aren't going to go for Obama. Hello! Two votes for Obama on my couch right now!
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Msbelle the biggest expense is television air time.
Also, $6 billion for the election. $8billion spent on Halloween this year. It's all perspective.
