I know exactly what we need to do!

It's a foolproof strategy! First, we have to forget about the feelings of unity we created during the election; then we can crumple up all that progressive momentum we gathered during the election and throw it in the garbage! I know what you're thinking...

"But DonBito, on election night I almost fell asleep in a whirling hot tub of good vibes! How can I possibly force myself and my fellow Kossacks to feel like we're suddenly drowning in a trash can of cold fecal matter?"

I've always considered myself to be a pretty lucky person. I mean, I was born into a financially stable, loving family as blue as the summer sky, in what used to be the richest country in the world. How many other people can say that they've been so lucky from their very first day on Earth?

A friend once told me I had "this attitude like everything is gonna be all right." To her, this was a result of my naivete, but to me it seems like a result of my realism. I have never been under any illusions about my own privilege; I appreciate it every day, owe every advantage I have to my privilege and luck and try always to place my own hardships in the context of the hardships of others. I hardly ever have a good reason to complain.

I write about this to give you an idea of the power of luck in my life, the energy that I can feel (most days) guiding me towards my "everything is gonna be all right." My philosophy of luck as it relates to balance. I don't know. So that maybe you can understand why I know that we are going to prevail tomorrow.

How I know, and a lil' somethin' you can do to improve our luck after the jump...

I am super obsessed with FiveThirtyEight. Not least of all because I love looking at the little pie chart that now says there's a 95.8% probability that Obama will win the election. Not to mention a 53.4% chance of an Obama landslide. YEAH B*TCHES!

Anyway, see what Nate Silver (who was hard at work just as early as I was this morning, apparently) has to say about the early voter turnout in swing states...

HuffPo has had great coverage of all of the scary hate-mongering the McSame campaign has been doing to rile up the most disgusting sentiments of their borderline-psychotic bigoted base. And now, under increasing pressure from bloggers and even some in the MSM, he's trying to take it all back? Surprise, surprise...them wingnuts don't like to hear that quittin' talk. Below the fold, the HuffPo article...

Okay. I need to take a bit of a closer look at McSame's attempt to make Obama the scapegoat on the bailout. Not that it's not ridiculous enough in and of itself. According to the LATimes the "reasoning" (please understand that I use the term as loosely as humanly possible) behind blaming Obama was that he

and his allies in Congress infused unnecessary partisanship into the process.

(In case you find this funny, the very next thing out of McSame's mouth was, "Now is not the time to fix the blame; it is time to fix the problem." ...brain...explodey...*gurgle*...)
