You owe it to yourself to mainline some of the emotional power of opera. This appears to be a piece from Les Miserables put together by ~~the Obama national campaign staff~~ UltimateImprov, self-described as "a small comedy/improv theater in Los Angeles." (h/t ngack in the comments)

diary title changed to better reflect content

Around 9:00 a.m. EDT the Pennsylvania Secretary of State web page added a few more precinct results. Eighty-four remain outstanding.

The update had a bit of movement to Obama, such that things now stand here (one table better than a thousand words):

I had been puzzled for a little while wondering how the TM was getting a 10% margin out of the overnight 99.07% numbers; I eventually realized they were rounding the margins to whole percentages of 55 - 45 before taking the difference. That process would now put it at an 8% margin, and if the last precincts to report favor Obama it may become an honest 8%.

(update note: as mentioned in the jump, it looks more like a possible 9% than 8% due to error on the SoS site.)

In the grand scheme of things it probably matters naught, but it takes a little wind out of the Clinton sails to not be able to claim a double-digit victory.

Bill Moyers marked his return to PBS on Wednesday night with his well-received (by most of us, anyway) special edition of Bill Moyers Journal, Buying the war. But his regular Friday night show will likely be of interest to many, also, so I wanted to shoot out a heads-up.

There's a song that's been running through my head of late, and a search of the archives shows I'm not the only one. What does inspire me to my first diary is a little poking around on the tubes that revealed someone recently uploaded YouTube video of Pete Seeger doing his "Waist deep in the big muddy," which I link to after the break.

It makes for a pretty good internal soundtrack for whatever tasks you undertake to Stop the Madness. Treat yourself to one of my heroes.
