Princeton consortium http://election.princeton.edu/ has Obama at 98% in their Random Drift 99.8% in their Bayesian analysis. I know there are no sure things in life, but...

I have spent the last eight days in the cold and dark here in NY, insulated from the internet and television. This is a nice thing to come home to the newly re-electrified house and see online.

Our polling stations were all re-electrified on Saturday and Sunday and we're ready to run up the popular vote in this very blue village. Time to end this show and spike this sorry excuse for a challenger.

This was the Palin moment - when the audience roars in laughter at the parody of a presidential candidate, you know they're done. And they nailed the fundamental awkwardness of Romney tonight and Ryan's lies. It was brutal: started slow and then built on itself and killed them. Romney came off as empty and awkward as Palin came off dense. I had to watch several times and thought to myself immediately that if the Romney/Ryan campaign was watching (and they were), they knew without a shadow of a doubt that they were finished. They were the butt of a joke that everyone knows is true: no matter how unhappy you might be with Obama, seriously, this is the alternative? It's hopeless.

I already knew that Romney was going to lose (for months now). I now know that they will lose with people laughing at them. And given the behavior out of that campaign in the last few months, that's sweet indeed.

I haven't really shared broadly what I saw on 9/11 - in conversations with friends, in a anonymous set of postings that night back when AOL had chat rooms (maybe they still do) and I needed to get the images out of my head. (It helped.)

With time, callouses set in and sentiments fade. It gets easier. And perhaps its time to share more broadly. It was a long day for all of us, a day that got worse and worse. If you have a few minutes, let me tell you how I saw it, up close and personal.
