Election Predictions
Ed Morrissey is
"cautiously optimistic":
I think John McCain will win a squeaker over Barack Obama, 273-265, by holding Florida [and] Nevada, and adding Pennsylvania as a trade for Virginia.
I pretty much agree with his map.
In a shocking development, AllahP is . . . less starry-eyed.
Stacy McCain reminds Obama supporters that voting day for progressive Democrats is actually going to be on Wednesday, due to the new system that will help them accommodate the increased turnout in this cycle.
Also, I'd like to remind you that tomorrow is Media Embargo Day, since the exit-poll data will be even more out-of-whack than it is now. It is especially imperative that you observe Media Embargo Day if you live in the Mountain or Pacific Time Zones.
The rally at Henderson today drew, they told us, 11,000 McCain supporters. I cannot believe this man's schedule today: seven stops in one day, from Florida to Arizona.

I want a McCain win...but
Will voter fraud affect the outcome?

There Will Be No Peace
Though mild clear weather
Smile again on the shire of your esteem
And its colours come back, the storm has changed you:
You will not forget, ever,
The darkness blotting out hope, the gale
Prophesying your downfall.
You must live with your knowledge.
Way back, beyond, outside of you are others,
In moonless absences you never heard of,
Who have certainly heard of you,
Beings of unknown number and gender:
And they do not like you.
What have you done to them?
Nothing? Nothing is not an answer:
You will come to believe - how can you help it? -
That you did, you did do something;
You will find yourself wishing you could make them laugh,
You will long for their friendship.
There will be no peace.
Fight back, then, with such courage as you have
And every unchivalrous dodge you know of,
Clear in your conscience on this:
Their cause, if they had one, is nothing to them now;
They hate for hate's sake.
—W. H. Auden

Very nice, Mike.
Prof. Purkinje: "Shine, perishing Republic." I had a very nice breakfast with some locals a few days ago, in which we all agreed that it was impossible to get through to one's parents--or most of one's academic friends--about why they should be voting GOP (particularly in this election).
I was impressed that Gentleman Blogger, my host out here in NV, has three brothers that have also converted--particularly because I know the temptations of identity politics, as a chick. For all four brothers in a black family from CA to be voting McCain was particularly exemplary, as I saw it.
"Why did the others convert?" I asked him.
"They own businesses," he explained.
