Well, if anyone is playing my convoluted drinking game that forces you to have many expensive drinks at the ready, take your first drink of champagne. Ed Schultz (who I hate so, so very much) did the pre-post-mortum on Romney saying it was the 47%...
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

No doubt Florida will be a throbbing, intense back-and-forth right until the end of the election, when we get the final rush of results and reach a satisfying climax.

It's not ONLY about the President. There's Congress ... and if I'm not mistaken about half of the state congresses and governorships. All deprecated and less representative where there is 'no point voting' because that State is deep red or deep blue. Ain't the electoral college great?

The Presidential is the horse race though. Perhaps we'll start paying more attention to the others once Florida and Ohio are called.

Amusing point, that if you're going to run a false ad ("Jeep is moving American jobs to China") don't run it in a place where people know better (like Ohio). And don't run one that is so easily countered (the CEO of Jeep saying, "Uhm ... no. That's a lie.").
