Some general observations about the current U.S. Presidential Election:
1. Wolf Blitzer is retarded. And I mean no disrespect to the retarded, but seriously, why in the hell is Wolf the lead CNN anchor on this? How many times can we watch Jeff Greenfield shake his head in the background as Wolf fumbles yet another fact? Someone give Anderson Cooper one of those big hooks so he can pull Wolf off stage.
2. CNN has reverb “Spacial Logic’ reverb. And what, might you ask, is “Spacial Logic”? Why, it’s a color coded map. Holy shit! That is some truly, truly amazing technology. A color coded map of the state, broken down by county. I hope someone has patented this modern marvel.
3. Is Larry King senile? He can’t seem to grasp simple math. Larry’s quote of the night, “So why are we here?” Good question, Larry, good question.
4. Okay, what the hell is with these analysts who say that this is a decisive victory for Bush??! American politics has become so perverted that a 3-4% margin is now “substantial”? Where did the Democrats “go wrong”? Apparently, about 50% of American voters which is, um, roughly half don’t think the Democrats did go wrong.
5. Thank god J. Kenneth Blackwell knows how to dress and not come off like a hysterical partisan hack. Even though I’m a “liberal,” after seeing him on CNN, I actually believe that he will carry out his duty as Ohio Secretary of State which integrity, which is exactly what America needs.
6. In case you wanted some official numbers:
Ohio County Breakdown
Of course, I found this in a single Google Search. CNN can’t figure out how to find out the current number of provisional ballots.
7. At least Bush will have to deal with his own Iraq mess. I hope he realizes that if you try to stomp out that burning bag on the porch, you get shit all over your shoes.
8. Come on… when James Carville is down, I think it’s pretty much over. Now, I would love to be proved wrong, but I just don’t think so.
9. Seriously, Jeff, the Democrats didn’t “Do things wrong.” A sitting, war time President won (apparently) with an approximately 3-4% margin. That’s not exactly a mandate from the people nor a shocking condemnation of the Democratic platform. It is a reflection of just how divided the country is and how torn we are as a nation about terrorism vs. the economy. David Gergen keeps talking about this being a “clear mandate” but I just don’t see it. 10% difference, we’ll start talking. 25% difference? No question. 3-4% difference? Um, I don’t think so. Geesh. Get over it.
