Final Poll Round Up: Ahead in 7, Tied in 2, Behind in 2

But President is above crucial 50% mark in only a single poll

I don't know how much that last tid-bit matters. You don't really need to be above 50%; you need to be above around 49%.

The Washington Times digests the final polls.

I'm going to say it right now: I'm worried. Very worried. I think that Bush is actually a little behind at the moment, and I think he's going to have to have an awfully good day to win this thing.

Not to be a defeatist-- hey, it's Voting Day. Not much left to do (except vote, of course-- have you voted?) But I've got to be honest-- I've been quietly predicting a Bush loss for a week.

(Well, as those who routinely call me a big fat defeatist wussy might argue, I've been predicting that via subtext for a month.)

Bush needs almost all his potential voters to actually pull the lever for him. If the Patriotic Majority does so, he will win. If a lot of his voters decide, as they did in 2000, that maybe voting isn't so important, he'll almost certainly lose.

I know how you feel Ace. I haven't slept in a month myself. But I still feel Bush will win, no matter how thin the margin. It all comes down to Ohio. Whomever wins Ohio, wins the game!

I voted bright and early. The trouble being, I'm in California. The relevance of casting my ballot for Bush is in some doubt, here.

Still, I voted. And soon this will be over and I can breathe again.

I think the guys that were under 50 who lost were at like 39 and 40 it was substantially down. 50 is some stupid ass benchmark.
I think the most stupid of all the questions is the Right direction Wrong Direction question. I can think things are going in the wrong direction and still vote Bush. If I think they are going wrong because of gay marriage and embryonic stem cell research and the price of tea in China that is not necessarily an indicator of voting out and incumbent.

Hyperpartisan Democrat and venomous liberal congressman Gerry Connelly has died
He already announced he would not stand for re-election in 2026. His death leaves the Democrat caucus down one until/unless another Democrat is elected to fill out his term. Virginia should do what New York State did and delay this special election until... well, until the next election in 2026.
Audio of Biden's interview with special investigator Hur leaks
He's not just a confused old man with a poor memory, he's pretty much incoherent.
Update: longer clip here. He just rambles and pauses and gets lost and has to be helped every sentence by either his aides or lawyers or by the investigators themselves.

Great catch: Alex Thompson claims the videos showing his co-conspirator @JakeTapper repeatedly fulminating at anyone questioning Biden's fitness are "deceptively edited."
Note that this is the exact same "cheapfake" lie used to protect Biden from video evidence of his mental infirmity.
Mark Levin goes off on "schmuck" and "little bastard" Tucker Carlson
He revives Rush Limbaugh's insult of Carlson as "Chatsworth Osbourne Jr."
The dispute is over whether the term "neocon" is being used as a paper-thin euphemism for "Jew" or not. I don't know, I think maybe Levin is flying off the handle over this one thing, but there is no doubt that Chastworth Osbourne Jr. has been getting friendlier and friendlier with the "Jews Manipulate and Control Us" Unz Reader crowd.
