This showed up in my Google home page summary under a CBS News headline and lead. I couldn't have said it better.

I know this was posted in Kula's morning wrap-up, but I figured it deserved a diary referral of its own since the story might have gotten overlooked in the middle of that diary and a search failed to turn up any other mentions. Our Favorite Son, who used to post diaries here under the name "Poblano," is the subject of a feature story in the New York Times. The story's conceit is that, like everyone else, Nate Silver predicted Obama's victory -- except Nate had done so back in March.

The media is still trying to manufacture an artificially close race -- and as an Obama supporter I'm not sure I necessarily mind because it guards against overconfidence. But still I don't know if its due to incompetence or just trying to spin a story that's not there. And it's just poor journalism.

Marc Ambinder at the Atlantic has just posted his latest Atlantic Electoral Map, and while it's certainly more informed than Dick Morris' wacked-out predictions, there is still plenty of idiocy here.

First diary and I'm glad it's very good news to report. We all know about the Republican vote-suppressing efforts that helped Bush defeat Kerry in 2004 under the evil GOP Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell.

Ohio Sec. of State Jennifer Brunner won her second court victory over Republicans in two days on Wednesday when the state Supreme Court threw out a challenge to a Brunner ruling in which she rejected thousands of GOP-based absentee ballot applications because they were incomplete. The court rejected the Republicans appeal because of technical reasons -- they filed the suit too late -- but a win is a win, right?

More details below the fold.
