Okay, Now It Gets Serious

John Fund has predictions and counsel.

He's also got the times of poll-closings, some of which I repost here:

G= Gubernatorial race; S = Senatorial race; #= electors

6 p.m.

Indiana 11 GS
Kentucky 8 S

As Fund says, somewhat obviously, we know which way these states are voting, but the important thing is whether Bush does better now than he did in 2000.

7 p.m.


New Hampshire 4 GS
Virginia 13

7:30 p.m.

Ohio 20 S
West Virginia 5 G

Ohio, Ohio, Ohio. Don't expect a result early.

8 p.m.

Florida 27 S
Michigan 17
Missouri 11 GS
New Jersey 15
Pennsylvania 21 S

Florida, Florida, Florida. 8 o'clock should tell us who our President will be.

9 p.m.

Arizona 10 S
Colorado 9 S
Minnesota 10
New Mexico 5
Wisconsin 10 S

9 pm should seal the deal.

Well, that's enough for now. You can read Fund's article for the rest. He tells you what you should be looking for each round of poll-closings.

Any idea where MegaPundit got the number on New Hampshire?

Posted by: Dear Johns on November 2, 2004 05:38 PM

Could just be the votes from Dixville Notch, you know, the morons who voted 12:01AM last night.

Good catch on Dixville...And very thorough on the part of MegaPundit.

What's with Zogby? Have the rays of sunlight reached the final corner of the room the vampire is hiding in? Ok, did I stretch that metaphor a
bit?

Posted by: Dear Johns on November 2, 2004 05:51 PM

Ace, I trust this afternoon's BS has inoculated you from more premature hysteria.

Posted by: someone on November 2, 2004 05:53 PM

ZOGBY!!!!

In other words,

TIMMY!!!!!

Am I wrong? Don't the polls in Florida close at 9 o'clock EST? The panhandle is in the central time zone - wasn't that what caused all the shit in 2000? I am on my second six-pack so forgive me if I am babbling.

Ace--

I need your counsel.

Is Renee Zellwegger attractive?

Or, more importantly, is she attractive when she's packing the peanut butter, as in all the commercials running on MSNBC for Bridget Jones 2?

I'm worried that I'm finding her attractive. Either that makes me gay-- not that there's anything wrong with that-- or in desperate need of some hot and heavy Kim Richards actions.

HELP ME, ACE-- you're my only hope.

Cheers,
Dave

Posted by: Dave at Garfield Ridge on November 2, 2004 06:07 PM

Actually, I *only* have ever thought she was attractive in Bridget Jones.

The guys at Powerline say an unscienetific AOL survey is 57-41 Bush. That's more like it.

Oh, phooey on unscientific internet surveys. To be completely honest, I'm tired of hearing about such nonsense.

Posted by: ace on November 2, 2004 06:30 PM

No offense meant! But I read FR a lot, and every other post is about this or that stupid meaningless internet survey.

Posted by: ace on November 2, 2004 06:31 PM

Ace--

Thanks. Glad to know we share the same opinion.

Do you do any financial planning as well?

Cheers,
Dave

Now, Jenilee Harrison - back in the day... when she first replaced Suzanne Sommers? Oh dear. I lived to see her come on screen in a tight fuzzy sweater.

But have you seen here recently on that ronco chopparizer infomercial. Dude, was she abducted by aliens or something???

Posted by: spanky on November 2, 2004 06:41 PM

Ok, this is all definitely getting to you if you're having difficulty determining whether Renee Zellwegger is hot. Just picture her making those little faces.

Yes. She's hot.

Posted by: Dear Johns on November 2, 2004 06:51 PM

Nurse Betty. Renee in a nurses uniform. Very hot

Posted by: on November 2, 2004 06:58 PM

Hey, it's a stressful day. Things are going wacko right now in my head.

BTW, Ace-- if you want to give any shout outs, I'd love one tonight. I'm on a blogging tear right now.

Okay, granted, I'm not really *saying* anything right now, but the news is still coming in, ya know?

Thanks,
Dave

Tucker Carlson claims that it's weird that Ted Cruz is interested in the massacre of Christians by Nigerian Muslims, because he has "no track record of being interested in Christians," then blows off the massacre of Christians by Nigerian Muslims, saying it might or might not be a real concern
Tucker Carlson enjoys using the left-wing tactic of "Tactical Ignorance" to avoid taking positions on topics. Is Hamas really a terrorist organization? Tucker can't say. He hasn't looked into it enough, but "it seems like a political organization to me." Are Muslims slaughtering Christians in Nigeria? Again, Tucker just doesn't know. He hasn't examined the evidence yet. He knows every Palestinian Christian who said he was blocked from visiting holy sites in Bethlehem, but he just hasn't had the time to look into the mass slaughter of Christians in Nigeria that has been going on since (checks watch) 2009. He doesn't know, so he can't offer an opinion. Wouldn't be prudent, you know? Don't rush him! He'll sift through the evidence at some point in the future and render an opinion sometime around 2044.
Of course, if you need an opinion on Jewish Perfidy, he has all the facts at his fingertips and can give you a fully informed opinion pronto. Say, have you ever heard of the USS Liberty incident...?
You'd think that the main issue for Tucker Carlson, who pretends to be so deeply concerned about Palestinian Christians being bullied by Jews in Israel (supposedly), would be the massacre of 185,000 Christians in Nigeria itself. But no, his main problem is that Ted Cruz is talking about it, "who has no track record of being interested in Christians at all." And then he just shrugs as to whether this is even a real issue or not.
Whatever we do we must never "divide the right," huh?
Tucker is attacking Ted Cruz for bringing the issue up because he's acting as an apologist for Jihadism, and he can't cleanly admit that Jihadists are killing any Christians, anywhere. There is no daylight between him and CAIR at this point.
One might conclude that Tucker Carlson himself isn't interested in the plight of Christians -- except as they can be used as a cudgel to attack Jews.
Just gonna ask an Interesting Question myself -- why is it that Tucker Carlson's arguments all track with those shit out by Qatarian propaganda agents and the far left? That if Jews crush an ant underfoot it is worldwide news, but when Muslims slaughter Christians it elicits not even a vigorous shrug?
Garth Merenghi is interviewed by the only man who can fathom his ineffable brilliance -- Garth Merenghi
From the comments:
I once glimpsed Garth in the penumbra betwixt my wake and sleep. He was in my dream, standing afar, not looking my way, nor did he acknowledge me. But I felt seen. And that's when I knew I was a traveler on the right path. I'm glad he's still with us.

Now that's some Merenghian prose.
Garth Merenghi on the writer's craft

Greetings, Traveler. If you still have not experienced Garth Merenghi -- Author, Dream-weaver, Visionary, plus Actor -- the six episodes of his Darkplace are still available on YouTube and supposedly upscaled to HD. (Viewing it now, it doesn't appeared upscaled for shit.)
I think the second episode, "Hell Hath Fury," is the best by a good margin. Try to at least watch through to that one. It's Mereghi's incisive but nuanced take on sexism.
