It is amusing to switch between
the networks and see the political spin each puts on their projections. ABC quickly calls NH for the Democratic
candidate, while Fox procrastinates for over an hour. CNN seems to be in its own world with Wolf
Blitzer breaking in with “Major Projections” like “the Iowa polls have just
closed but it is too close to call.”
Thanks for playing Wolf!
CNN’s world seems to be running
about 15-30 minutes behind everyone else so watching their reports is kind of
like watching the half time recap of a football game. If you missed the first call you can get it
fresh when CNN finally decides.
Speaking of CNN, Jay Carney
should go back to being a White House spokesman, because he certainly cannot
offer an unbiased opinion on any issue he discusses. Each and every input goes back to how the
President could have helped this or that candidate, if only they had asked.
It is always nice to know that
the three most populated Democratic counties in Florida still cannot get their act together, and actually report on the vote counts the same time the rest of
the state does. I wonder are they still
using the same paper ballots that made them so famous in the 2000 election?
I saw some are complaining
about reelecting the Governor of NY. I
would suggest the population gets what it deserves. I’ve seen the commercials where he is
offering tax-free benefits and grants if businesses will move to the
state. Sounds like FL, just without the
Sun and the popular support for business as part of the state government.
Regardless of the outcome of
the election I would like to hope the Executive and Legislative branches would
work together, but I am not optimistic.
There is nothing in the last six years that indicates the President is
really willing to seek compromise, choosing instead to condemn and vilify those
who disagree with him. The only thing a
change in the Senate will accomplish is perhaps some legislation will actually
move from the House to the Senate and on to the President for his veto.
