Bad Indiana Trends For John McCain
Tweet Share on Facebook November 4, 2008 CommentJohn King is at the magic map on CNN, and just took viewers on a tour of Indiana. The current tally shows Obama and McCain running neck and neck. But King showed how the big Democratic precincts around Gary have not been counted, and how Obama is running far ahead of John Kerry—and even, in some cases, ahead of 2004 victor George W. Bush's performance—in rural Indiana counties. Not good news for McCain.

Exit Polls Show Big Obama Leads
Tweet Share on Facebook November 4, 2008 Comment (1)Our friends at The Huffington Post have published the early network exit polls here.
They show Barack Obama with big leads in the battleground blue states (including Pennsylvania) and narrow leads (with a few important exceptions) in battleground red states like Virginia. The Huff Post is publishing these results with a big warning—that younger voters tend to answer exit questionnaires far more willingly than older folks, thus tilting the polls toward the Democrats. So digest this with a grain of salt. If you don't believe me, ask President Kerry.

The 2008 Election Is Not the Greatest Ever
Tweet Share on Facebook November 3, 2008 Comment (29)Superlatives, like expletives, come cheap in the Internet age.
Before the votes are counted, we're hearing that the 2008 election is the best in recent history.
It takes a little chutzpah, I'll admit, to argue with the likes of David Broder, who claimed in yesterday's Washington Post that as a horse race, the strategies and personalities of 2008 are unmatched in his professional experience.
Nevertheless, I disagree.
