Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Now that the election's over, stories are coming out from campaign staffers.
Adviser: Romney "shellshocked" by loss - CBS News
They really did believe they were gonna win.
Mitt Romney's campaign got its first hint something was wrong on the afternoon of Election Day, when state campaign workers on the ground began reporting huge turnout in areas favorable to President Obama: northeastern Ohio, northern Virginia, central Florida and Miami-Dade.
Then came the early exit polls that also were favorable to the president.
But it wasn't until the polls closed that concern turned into alarm. They expected North Carolina to be called early. It wasn't. They expected Pennsylvania to be up in the air all night; it went early for the President.
After Ohio went for Mr. Obama, it was over, but senior advisers say no one could process it.
"We went into the evening confident we had a good path to victory," said one senior adviser. "I don't think there was one person who saw this coming."

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
So no one on Team Romney reads Nate Silver, huh?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Well, now I'm sad!
....or not.
I am super excited to have won Victor's EC bet.
OK, what I need to do is set up my wi-fi, so I can get on my work computer. Apparently my internet now is faster than my wireless modem, so I haven't set it up in the new place yet.

I love how we always go through these rounds of people posting so they can find out their number.
And that there are still stories about how shocked, shocked! the Romney campaign is that they lost. I'm still enjoying those.
(I'm number 6.)

Well, that article shows there were some fairly good reasons for them to believe they were gonna win. But then those reasons turned out not to be true.

I'm always amused by the cyclical "What number am I!" discoveries.

....maybe I'll have second breakfast before I actually start working. FWIW, I've done at least as much so far as I would have done in the actual office.
