Looking good during a hurricane isn’t that diffiucult.

Lying to the American people about Benghazi is a betrayal. But idiots will march to the poll and vote for the bomber jacket because he looked good in his photo ops, and ignore the cover up in Banghazi and the dismal state of our economy.

Poor little constantly purple NH is going to end up as part of the great state of Liberal New England rather than an Island of red in the midst.

At least we will still have hockey, but I will be lucky if I can afford to heat my house in this Utopian State of Liberalism.

Ohio early voting looks good for Romney, especially if 13% of the Democrat voters are defectors. I think Michael Barone has it right; Romney wins in a landslide.

We’ll have jobs, energy, bacon, guns, football, and 20 oz sodas.

Those are definitely mostly red state provisions! I’ve always wondered what the day will look like when the blue states realize that, despite their paying more federal dollars into the the Treasury than they get back (and the opposite of many red states), they still don’t have the resources to singularly keep the lights on and keep warm in winter and cool in summer. [My state alone provides 20-25% of the coal used to produce electricity—and most of it heads towards the Atlantic.]

One can recognize facts, even very negative facts[...]while being at peace with whatever some election is going to decide.

I’m not there yet. I was easily distracted in ’08, even after watching Republican friends and relatives buy into the hype of the Messiah, if for no other reason than my father died on Election Eve and having the following months (even way past inauguration) of my life get real complicated.

This time around, not so much; particularly if the (un)Affordable Care Act stays mostly intact. That will make the outcome real personal, even if items like the debt crisis, the increasing welfare state, and “It’s their fault!” aren’t.

So, the blue states can form their own country, and the red states can form our own country. They’ll have welfare, gay marriage, and 75% income tax rates. We’ll have jobs, energy, bacon, guns, football, and 20 oz sodas.

I’m OK with that.

I think it will be close.

I think you’re right. There might even be a circa-2000 moment where a premature projection is made and an outlet or two has egg on their face. One of the chattering class was saying last night that if provisional ballots in Ohio have to be counted, it may be not until at least the 10th before we know who won.

As far as rally crowd sizes go, Brit Hume made an interesting point on FNC last night: George McGovern had never-before seen crowd sizes in all of his last-minute campaign appearances. And yet, that translated to a 49-state loss. I don’t think that’s the case this year, but it is food for thought.

The immediate impact will be if I go another $1800 in the hole in Nov 7th getting a PS-90 or not.

Elsewise it’s keeping my job, paying off my debts, preparing for the worst, business as usual.

I am at peace whatever happens.

You?! Our resident SCOAMF acronym-user?? Or are you playing nice because someone from the OPM might be watching…

I have to say, in my circles (which include lefties who have lives, more than the online type of leftie), Sandy hardly comes up as a topic of conversation, and never comes up in connection with Obama.
