Liveblogging the Elections
by Urquhart
+2 Reply

Early clues ain't so great. MSNBC keeps hinting that they can't reveal the exit polls, but it certainly, absolutely, is not a referendum on the Administration.

On the other hand, Intrade has swung in recent hours toward Corzine. Will I (gulp!) owe Tartuffle a quarter? Stay tuned.

NJ Turnout Looking Good
by Urquhart

From anecdotal evidence. Clearly, strong turnout favors the fat guy. Not the bald guy with the approval rating in the thirties.

May salvage that quarter yet.

Polls close at 8.

Ugh. Even I can't stand Corzine. I would've voted for Christie if I still lived on Exit 11, if only for the fact that he's a huge Springsteen fan.

And for God sakes, there is no way that the New Jersey election a referendum on Obama. You people will grasp at anything, won't you? That's the Tim McCarver mindset rearing its ugly head - worthless statistics up the ass everywhere.
Dede Calls the Cops, Again
by Urquhart

Apparently, there's some "overzealous electioneering" going on in NY-23. Had to call the cops. Folks were yelling, and some even reported cases of sign-waving.

Brutal out there. "This is not the way we roll in the North Country" has to be one of the finest tongue-in-cheek lines ever typed by a journalist.

NJ would be a big win for the Repubs, and no matter how they try and spin it, it would be a black eye (no racial intent intended) for Obama.

It will be easy for Christie to beat Corzine; but I'm not so sure he can beat the dark horse in the race....Acorn.

I'm going to work this Drudge story for a bit while we wait for confirmation of the drubbing ..

Woman calls 911 to report herself as drunk driver

(AP) – 1 day ago

NEILSVILLE, Wis. — The call came into the 911 dispatcher: "I don't want to hurt anybody. I'm drunk." And with that, Mary Strey, 49, of Granton, reported herself as a drunken driver about three miles northeast of Neilsville in central Wisconsin.

Clark County Sheriff's Chief Deputy Jim Backus said Monday that Strey's call on Oct. 24 led deputies to cite her for misdemeanor drunken driving with a blood-alcohol level double [that's all? .. divver] the legal limit to drive. She makes her first court appearance Dec. 10.

Backus said drunken drivers reporting themselves is rare. [no shit .. divver]

In the 911 call, Strey said she wanted to report a drunken driver and the dispatcher asked if she was behind the suspect vehicle. "I am them," Strey said. She then followed the dispatcher's advice to pull over and turn on her flashers, telling him she had been "drinking all night long."

It was unclear if Strey has hired an attorney yet. [maybe she is one? .. divver]

You Dig Christie
by Urquhart

Cause he's the chubby guy whose kid was doing a cartwheel in the background.

Also, cause Corzine sucks so loudly we can hear it all the way over here.

Not sure if it's an Obama referendum, but NJ's a deep blue state, and Corzine did everything but put on shoepolish to pretend to be Obama. And the press spin that this clearly, obviously isn't a referendum means things ain't lookin so hot. Plus, I got a quarter riding on this. Be supportive.

Here's Christie's Imus interview. Good fun for the whole family, if you haven't seen it.

Independents Dig Christie
by Urquhart
By over twenty points, according to the CNN exit poll. Cause who doesn't like the chubby guy? Of course, NJ is one of those states where Dems actually outnumber independents, but it can't be a good sign for Corzine. Especially where the third-party candidate was the main factor.
McDonnell Wins Virginia
by Urquhart

Which is huge news for those living in caves.

GOP also nabs the Lt Gov spot. No word on the margin yet, but nobody took the over-under bet of ten points anyway.

This has NOTHING to do with Obama

And it seems at least 3000 absentee ballots in New Jersey have mismatching signatures. DNC solution? Just count 'em anyway. Come on. Do it. Come OOOO-on!

Move Along!
by Urquhart

Nothing to see here. And it abso-friggin-lutely won't affect anyone's healthcare vote. Cause it's totally irrelevant and unconnected to national issues in any way whatsoever.

Oh, and the GOP picks up the AG spot on Virginia, in addition to the Governor and Lt Gov.

I heard it was more like 40,000
by topazz
Oh! Oh! and that Glenn Beck's big fat ass was seen running out from behind the voting curtains after stuffing the ballot boxes in three counties.
You're funny

in a 50 car pile up kinda way.

On South Park.

Dem Says: Christie Wins
by Urquhart
For what it's worth. Not sure how he'd know. But it is a "Man bites dog story". Personally, I figured he'd win by 4-5 points, not one.
Must We Be Churlish?

Isn't gloating enough fun?

Or were you flirting?
