That article made my day – and the day of my Shakespeare teaching, mathematically inclined English prof. friend (who is sure that she will be kicked out of the English prof. club as soon as they realize she’s terribly good with numbers and logic…)

The McCain campaign HAS to sound optimistic, even if they know the truth is that they are losing (which I think they do) because they cannot concede now and risk losing ANY votes. Jimmy Carter conceded early on election night because he was so discouraged by polling, even before the West Coast polls closed. Who knows what might have happened had he hung on? Now modern candidates have taken the Carter lesson to heart. They must remain optimistic to the end, however bitter. I kind of feel sorry for them, really. Such optimism takes hard-core acting skills. It’s not easy.

Someone on NPR making the same claims; he was well challenged, and stuttering. We can hope big.

Those are good. Hopefully, people west of the Cascades in Washington, Oregon, and Northern CA voted early or are so used to precipitation, that it won’t have any effect.

Yeah, I saw that, but wasn’t too concerned if SC had a deluge. North Carolina looked like any precip might be heavier in the less enlightened areas than in the Raleigh-Durham-Chappel Hill area.

Not looking promising in eastern Carolinas; rain predicted for tomorrow. :-(
