Tuesday, November 02, 2004Non-baseball: The Big DayNo blogging yesterday, as I was purposely avoiding all forms of news. I was at the point where if I saw on more poll, one more electoral projection, or one more unsubstantiated accusation of fraud, I was going to vomit. Anyway, it gave me time to go pick up my plane tickets to Sydney, just in case this thing doesn't turn out (just kidding- I hate those "I'm moving if my guy doesn't win!" moonbats). BTW: How in the fuck did Jim Treacher find his way onto the pages of the Wall Street Journal? Next thing you know, Puce is going to have a weekly column in the Old Gray Lady... UPDATE: Just voted. Took all of five minutes. Apparently I'm one of the few people who thought to bring their sample ballot along, as in the time it took me to sign in, get my number, and vote, no one had left their respective polling booths. One of the poll workers told me that the woman who had the booth before me was in there for almost half an hour. UPDATE: The guys at NRO (K-Lo, specifically) really need to shut the fuck up. They've posted a number of exit polls, including one showing Bush down by 20 in PN (which has now been confirmed as coming from the Kerry camp, and thus crap), and then tell Republicans "Don't get demoralized! GOTV!" It doesn't work that way, fucktards. Just shut-up! Especially when the only numbers you have are from a source as reliable as Wonkette! UPDATE: Drudge is now reporting that early exit polling was sampled at a ridiculous 59/41 female/male ratio. Just another reason for NRO to stop posting these things. Don't these people pride themselves on being more reliable than the MSM? Well, act like it- stop posting unconfirmed and incomplete information! UPDATE: Why are Republican's freaking over this? By all accounts, Bush is either ahead or very close in Florida and Ohio. Those are the only two states he needs! UPDATE: Reuters: "Dow Dips, Others Inch Up on Internet Talk". Happy now, K-Lo? Good news: Last I saw, the DOW and NASDAQ were down big- both rallied late in the day as these poll numbers have been discredited and blog talk has mellowed. UPDATE: Treacher: "I'm posting this in the 30-second window while I can still access the dang page. We done broke the Internet, y'all." It sure looks like it- Instapundit crashed earlier today. Instapundit! And all of us poor bastards on blog*spot have been having trouble, too. UPDATE: Hugh Hewitt chastises the blogosphere for today's exit poll fiasco. Here here. |
