The Media Bias Bet
SoI suppose my promise to completely tune out was somewhat premature. For some reason, this time around, Christmas music just isn't enough. I'm still not venturing on to Facebook, though. The gloating grates too much. I may not return until my contractual obligation to keep my embarrassing Limburger profile picture up finally lapses.I have had, ... Read more
Bleak Thoughts
Yeah,I know I said I was going to tune out. I'm still trying to do that. I've managed to stay off of Facebook, where my daughter Chloe is apparently getting into flame wars with friends who are gloating about last night's debacle. I did get on long enough to post my obligatory new profile pic ... Read more
On Being Wrong. Very Wrong, Indeed.
Iposted a version of this on Facebook, but since some of you don't have access to my Facebook page, it's probably necessary to post it here, too.No question, I stuck my neck out pretty far on this one, and I was miserably, hopelessly wrong. Dick Morris-level wrong. I genuinely believed everything I wrote, and I ... Read more
Doubt Not; Fear Not
Nofewer than five people approached me at church yesterday, looking for good news and reassurance. Can Romney still win? Yes, of course. Will Romney win? Yes, of course. Nobody asked me the question I've been asking myself for quite some time: can Obama win?Very, very doubtful.But yes, he can still win. He's losing independents by ... Read more
Pre-Election Spine Update
Aswe head into the final weekend...The Obama pre-gloaters who went silent after their first debate debacle are now starting to get comfortable in mocking me some more. Turns out Obama, you may have heard, is going to win after all. Today he holds a commanding 47.4% to 47.3% national lead against Romney in the RealClearPolitics ... Read more
The Myth of Voter Suppression
Peopleask me for updates on the race. Here it is in a nutshell: Romney's winning. He's winning big.He's winning the early voting by seven points, even though that was where Obama was supposed to have a huge advantage. He's up in Ohio. He's raising boatloads of cash. National polls have had him above fifty percent ... Read more
Your Guy Won Again. (And Romney Will Win the Election.)
Arather uneventful exchange, methinks. This debate was like the last debate, only more so. That is to say, nobody changed any minds. If you liked your guy at the beginning, you liked him even more at the end. It was ultimately pointless.Which means, in the only way that matters, Romney won.I grow weary of people ... Read more
Your Guy Won
I'mwriting this post in the early AM, but that's not soon enough for one of my friends, who wrote me on Facebook and said, "You know, I hardly slept last night in anticipation of the debate post. I think you just lost my write-in vote!"While I'm flattered that I was ever in contention for the ... Read more
Nervously Optimistic
I'vebeen asked by my sons' scoutmaster to watch tomorrow night's debate with my 11-year-old sons and the rest of the Boy Scout troop and provide my expert advice. Should be fun, but I'm on pins and needles, as I'm more anxious about tomorrow night than any other night in the campaign.Tomorrow night is the only ... Read more
