Final Stretch Election ThreadFollow

The problem is that these days they HAVE to adjust the polls, because so few people maintain land lines any more. The majority of the land line owners are going to be middle aged and suburban.

Not everyone who votes is middle aged and suburban!

I'm excited for the race tomorrow. Our US Senate race looks like it should be a runaway with Angus King (I) up 16pts over our current Sec. of State Charlie Summers (R) - 49% vs 33% respectively. The democrat nominee is barely holding on with only 11% of the vote. Angus is my pick, but still, there is that little twinge of apprehension that things don't go as planned.

The numbers have changed little since the early days of the election when the US Chamber of Commerce did a media blitz attacking King. They spent meellions of dollars and initially had some success in moving the polling numbers, but then their returns diminished ...significantly.

Reportedly Sandy helped Obama in the polls but now there is the simple matter of logistics - will people in the storm affected areas be able to conveniently get to the polls?

Who's gonna stay up Tuesday night with me watching the numbers roll in?

Smash is losing weight - he looks like a stick guy.

I bet you can't do it. You'll peek.

Looks like Jonwin and I will be going to a post election party at Center Stage Theater, with TV coverage of results and Beer.

I find it hard to believe that mini Fleajoph is already 2 years old. I demand pictures.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, or more like, WTF did Joph get a two year old?

Well, we abort all of ours and then steal conservative babies and train them in our liberal arts. Like gypsies!

Alternately, we're all gays and lesbians so we can't make our own babies.

It's not stealing though - it's redistribution.

I'll actually be voting in a race that means anything for the first time in a while. Hannah will be coming with me to vote for the first time, she's very excited.

Did you move to Chicago?

Where do you think the Chicago Irish learned to vote the graveyard? No one got off the boat from Dublin in Evanston, boyo.

My Congressional and state races are actually competitive this year so I have a reason to vote beyond waving a "We're #1" flag for Obama. While it's a wispy shadow of the real swing states, I'll be glad to not see another Duckworth, Walsh, Foster, Biggart or Manley commercial for a couple years.

We don't have TV, so I miss most of the Warren/Brown ads, but I do hear the compelling Brown argument of "She pretended she was an indian!" on the radio about every 14 seconds. She was a terrible, terrible candidate to start, but she's been coached up pretty effectively. When she wins, she should have a pretty easy re-election in 6 years.
