Worth staying up for
Worth staying up for: It is worth it to watch James Carville sounding humble. Amazing. David Gergen is saying that young people may become cynical because they worked so hard for Kerry. Yet, earlier NBC reported that only 17% of … Continue reading
Okay, I’ll call Ohio now & the election – go to bed
Okay, I’ll call Ohio now & the election – go to bed: This is so great. The networks are so afraid to call the election, even I can beat them. It’s over. Ohio is going to Bush. The only question … Continue reading
Huh?
Huh? Peter Jennings just referred to the “Reagan Headquarters” in Washington. Update: Brit Hume just said Kerry is playing a tough game of catch up to win, but it sounded like “ketchup.”
I’ll call it if no one won’t
I’ll call it if no one else will: The networks are so snake bitten by the 2000 election, they are afraid to call it. With 95% of the precincts in, Bush has 52% of the votes vs. 47% for Kerry. … Continue reading
Best map
Best map: C-SPAN.org (which apparently — from the URL — is being served up from the AP.)
Jeff Jarvis quoted on CNN
Jeff Jarvis quoted on CNN: Aaron Brown just quoted Jeff Jarvis’ buzzmachine.com. I’m on an IM with several folks on the Hammock Publishing staff who are covering the election for a client of ours. I’m watching another station and one … Continue reading
Exit polls suck
Exit polls suck: Okay, bloggers. The leaking of exit poll numbers early in the day mean nothing. Can we agree on that in the future? Can we agree that Jack Shafer and Wonkette and Drudge were doing a disservice to … Continue reading
Back later
Back later: I’m going to take a couple hours to let reality catch up with punditry.
The sky is falling, no, wait
The sky is falling, no, wait: I love blogs and all, but I’ve ranted for years about how reporters should never be trusted with numbers. I’m about to decide non-technical bloggers may be even worse when it comes to interpreting … Continue reading
Internet death
Internet death: “Service Unavailable” is the message I get when trying to access Slate.com. I think I’ll shut off my computer until about 8 p.m. tonight and skip the idiocy of the next three hours. Update: via instapundit.com, the blog … Continue reading
How to watch the results tonight
How to watch the results tonight: The WSJ’s John Fund (who, coincidentally predicts the electoral outcome like me: Bush, 296; Kerry, 242) has a great hour-by-hour guide for how to follow tonight’s election returns.
Doc votes and predicts
Doc votes and predicts: Quote from Doc Searls: “I’m voting Kerry, but betting Bush, for what it’s worth.” Gee. I’ve heard that more than once today.
Don’t be stupid
Don’t be stupid: Drudge posts a headline, not a story, but a headline, that says Kerry insiders are comforted by early exit polls and the stock market drops 70 points. Geez. What idiots.
Tomorrow is another day
Tomorrow is another day: Yesterday, in our company’s regular Monday-morning meeting, I reiterated to everyone my desire for them not to feel uncomfortable for supporting a candidate other than the one I vote for — I fear I may be … Continue reading
Magazine “execs” prefer Kerry according to statistics-challenged report
Magazine “execs” prefer Kerry according to statistics-challenged report: Buried in this minonline.com story about the Bill Clinton appearance at last week’s American Magazine Conference is this sentence: …(an) AMC poll of attendees…found 63% in support of John Kerry. (The) percentage … Continue reading
