Still not Sweating the Election

November 4th, 2008

Thank You, Lord

I am still feeling totally relaxed about the election. Hard to believe. I’m so glad. I did not need yet another sleepless night of fretting about the evils of socialism.

Place your bets. Will I be able to go to bed tonight and sleep, without knowing who won? Man, that would be fantastic. The 2000 thing was a nightmare, and ’04 wasn’t much better.

I had a confusing moment while voting on the gay marriage amendment today. I couldn’t figure out which of the following propositions I was supposed to vote on:

PROPOSITION 1: No poufters!

PROPOSITION 3: No poufters!

PROPOSITION 5: No poufters!

Luckily I was able to get some help from Bruce the pollworker.

Is “poufter” a slur? If so, make me go sit in the corner with Ann Coulter. I figured it was like “flamer,” which is still more or less acceptable.

    I aint’ sweatin’ this one either. I may be stupid, but I don’t believe even one of the polls hasn’t been a farcical crock (I’ve been reading Jay Cost since 2000, and he’s saying there are “statistical anomalies” that are just way, way off base, indicating some kind of systemic failure …and JC certainly is NOT stupid …his stuff is now at the HorseRaceBlog at RCP). I dunno what the popular vote is going to be like, but my guess is the electoral vote will be 290 McCain-Palin to 248 Obama-Biden by early morning Pacific time. Hey! – HOI should have an electoral pool. Players put a few bucks in. Winner gets to pick the charity we send it to. Find a good cause, or somethin’.

    Poufter, eh? They were described as “rump rangers” on our ballots.

    Proposition 7: No poufters!

    I think it’s spelled “poofter.”

    Off topic here, but http://sondrak.com appears to have been hacked.

    I don’t know what it will show if you look now, but I have a screen cap if anybody’s interested.

    Or maybe she just forgot to pay her hosting bill? I’m thinking “NOT”.

    Oh well…

    I expect the ObaMessiah to be annointed with about a 5 to 7 point margin. Probably 300 EV.
