Well, it looks like Mr. Zogby's projection of 311 electoral votes was way off the mark. Let's all remember that the next time pollsters tell us who's going to win in some election, month after next. Zogby blew it after the voting had already started. Needless to say, I'm not happy about how things have […]
Ralph Nader just gave a very sad, rambling speech which I guess was a concession (I didn't hear it all) but he did not look well. I don't mean he looked like a man who was depressed at losing. He looked like a man who was ill. He was talking about how the American people […]
One question that I wish some interviewer had put to Ralph Nader is: "If we asked John Kerry and George W. Bush what they'd consider a failure on November 2, we know what they'd have said. They'd have said, 'Losing the presidency.' What would you, Ralph Nader, consider a failure on November 2?" He probably […]
C-Span 2 is running a cavalcade of old presidential victory and concession speeches. I'm watching Bill Clinton thanking supporters in 1996…waiting to see if they run Al Gore's 2000 concession speech or his 2000 non-concession speech or both. Both would be a good reminder of how you should never count your chickens until they're recounted. […]
Major upset. […]
"This presidential race is hotter than the devil's ankle!" […]
I love it when news commentators have nothing to say but plenty of time to fill. Jeff Greenfield and the boys on CNN are telling us that money is important in winning an election. […]
The CNN Election Night set looks like the producers of Tron had a garage sale. […]
At this moment, it's all still too close to call. We have a lot of news sources tossing out exit poll data along with the caveat that it doesn't mean a lot. Hey, if it doesn't mean a lot, why are you reporting it? Part of me hopes that the winner, whoever it is, wins […]
I'm almost disappointed: No long lines, no exit pollsters, no poll watchers, no Michael Moore cameramen, no excitement. Guess this is what happens when you live in a non-battleground state. One lady was ahead of me, and she wasn't even a voter in our precinct. She was a caregiver for a local resident who's recuperating […]
For those of you interested, here's what's up with the broken battery door on my Nikon Coolpix 990… I called the Nikon company. A guy there said, "Yeah, those break a lot." Said to send it in for repairs and they'll give me an estimate, which will likely be in the $150 range. With no […]
There's still time to get a bet down on Alan Keyes. […]

Okay, the October Surprise was that there was no October Surprise. It's starting to look like the November Surprise is that if you go to vote, you'll still be in line when it comes time for the December Surprise. […]
In the midst of all this election talk and a killer deadline I had to meet, I somehow managed to miss noting the death of Vaughn Meader, the man who played John F. Kennedy on what was at the time, the fastest-selling record album ever. That The First Family was a comedy album made that […]
