Election Dribble

Last night probably proved just how worthless pundits are.  These jokers make John Madden look cerebral.

Nate Silver's stats trump Dan Rather's "gut."  In the words of my son's favorite children's album: "Science is REAL, Science is REAL....Science is REEE-EEE-EEEAAL."

Attention Republicans: It's time the thoughtful, intelligent, and reasonable MAJORITY of you tell the Tea Party to shut the hell up.  Also, don't blame the storm.

Attention Democrats: Get over yourselves...you beat a one-term Governor who has all the charisma of milk toast.  Also, grow a pair and raises taxes like you said you would....and you DID say you would.

My adopted home state is now represented by Conservative Hero Ron Johnson and Liberal Tammy Baldwin.  We're also governed by Scott Walker, but we supported Obama by six percentage points.  We're officially the most purple State in the Union...and by purple, I mean schizophrenic.

On a serious note, the most hopeful thing for me about electing a gay woman to the Senate is that her sexuality was essentially a non-issue throughout the campaign.  I don't love Tommy Thompson, but I give him credit for keeping the conversation about politics.

John King on CNN's magic map is obnoxious, but the prosaic grace with which he said the Romney campaign was full of crap about stealing Ohio was a feat to behold.

Pot is legal in Colorado and Washington State...Amsterdam just got slightly less cool.

The government's right to regulate whom you marry was rebuked in spite of opposition from small-government Conservatives...wait, what?

Florida....eh....I'm done here.
