A text I got 4 years ago around this time: Early exit polls are showing an advantage for "O", however that is expected to change at 5pm when those with jobs get to vote.

In last election, everyone predicted an Obama landslide. Mccain was a lame duck.

This race is extremely tight, which is shocking to me. Unfortunately, this country is now 50% leechers (thanks to some ethnic minorities), and leechers will vote for Obama under any and all circumstances.

Ideally this race SHOULD be a Reagan-style landslide, but that's not gonna happen [and O can even win], because since 1984, millions of leechers have moved into this country. Another 30 years and we are done. Democrats are outnumbering Republicans already.

It is in the major news outlets interest to make everyone believe this is close. Anybody remember Regan/Carter? That was too close to call also. This won’t be as nearly as bad but you get the idea.

I am not a big fan of voting against someone. I don't like either one of them.
What if one of them announces plans today to tax Thank You Points?

See Gregg Easterbrook's piece in TMQ on ESPN about the need for a switch to popular vote. As always, a well written and enlightened piece

Then like any other politician I would flip on my position and would have no problem voting against him.  :)

Yup, 6K people were there on Sunday.  Invites were sent via direct mail.  It was a lot of fun.
Romney spoke extremely well and had the place rolling with laughter and various chants.
I took some videos on my cell and then stopped to better enjoy the moment.

Definitely something worth doing if you have the chance. 
Plus Rafi loves his new R football, it was nice of them to personalize it for him ;)

BTW if this thing comes down to OH and the margins are close here don't bother staying up late.

There are hundreds of thousands of provisional ballots and it will be late November at the earliest or possibly even December until everything is counted and fought about in court.

Heh. And Biden is in CLE today.
Will be nice when every single commercial on the Radio and TV isn't political.
