Ten Crazy and/or Stupid Things Reporters Really Believe (that will make election night a nightmare for them!)
Tomorrow night, much will be made of how wrong the Ministry of Truth that is our national media got this election. It’s not going to be close — and Romney will win BIG across the board, picking up a number of normally “Democrat states” too — but if you only get your news from Minitru then you might be afraid today that Obama really could pull off a miracle here. The man who promised to lower the seas and patch the hole in the ozone can’t actually work miracles (as the people of New York and New Jersey are acutely aware today), and can’t do much else right either. People have noticed and are voting him out of office due to both his incompetence and the massive letdown they experienced in the last four years when the man who promised “Hope and Change” only delivered Chaos and Ineptitude.
The hacks and Obama cultists who comprise Minitru so desperately want Barack Obama to be reelected that they’re publishing fan faction in once-reputable papers and outright lying to viewers on the tee-vee. This election will be the end of Minitru’s last remaining credibility…with anger actually coming from all sides, since lefties will be furious that things turned out nothing like Nate Silver, in particular, repeatedly assured them. The Left is going to eat its own in the coming months and a lot of heads will roll. I personally don’t think MSNBC will even exist by the time of the next presidential election because its viewers will be so furious that no one on that propaganda channel warned them this would happen. Already we’ve seen the complete and total disappearance of Oprah Winfrey from the face of the Earth, still smarting from the blowback she received from her former viewers who hold her partly accountable for Obama’s election in the first place. Chris Matthews and Rachel Maddow will see their own fans turn on them soon, with a great many Hollywood stars such as Eva Longoria and Beyonce paying a high price in years ahead for being so closely associated with the Obamas.
Like any Hollywood fantasy, there was a definite script in this year’s election coverage that Minitru’s membership followed aggressively to push a notion that “Obama can’t lose!”. This lunacy was based on Ten Crazy and/or Stupid Things that reporters actually convinced themselves were true…since believing in them made Obama’s re-election real in their dreams despite all evidence on the ground to the contrary:
10. Anyone voting against Barack Obama is just racist. It’s shocking, but I’d say that almost everyone working in the national media really believes that Barack Obama is so wonderful that the only way anyone could disagree with him is if that person is a racist. Widespread resistance to Obama is, of course, based on racism in their minds. The net effect of this is that Obama has been treated as a pharaoh, not an elected president, with the Ministry of Truth believing he is infallible and must never be questioned. His critics, thus, were maligned as racists…because racism is the only explanation in Mintru for anyone opposing someone as magical as THE PHARAOH. As stupid as this is to those of us who were never under the hopeychange spell, Minitru’s operatives actually believe this bunk.
9. People really want and need the government to tell them what to do. I think almost everyone working in the national media believes this and would like to see this country be a dictatorship of sorts, as long as Democrats were the dictators. They all learned to love the government while in college and grad school because they had far-Left professors who showed approval only to those students who embraced the Left’s ideology. To get that A+, these men and women had to pledge allegiance to the government and vow to help it force its will on all the stupid people out there who didn’t go to Ivy League schools or know what was best for them. For decades, journalism schools have been churning out people who really believe in this stuff…and the end result is the Ministry of Truth we have today.
8. Democrats are more fired up to turnout to vote than in 2008 and Republicans are just going to sit home again like they did four years ago. This is just stupid, but they really believe this. It’s like never going to class all year and then deciding to sit for an advanced Calculus final, thinking you will ace it. After you flunk, maybe you’ll see how stupid you are and how you should have done your homework, paid attention, or even bought the text book. This is how out of touch Minitru is…and how little they know about the electorate that’s going to vote tomorrow. They’ve been living in fantasyland for four years now, believing things that aren’t true, and envisioning an Obama victory that won’t come. They are fools.
7. The Tea Party is not real, it never was real, and it’s completely gone now anyway. From the very beginning, Minitru insisted the Tea Party was not real because Democrats often astroturf and create fake organizations that are really just goon squads assembled to do the Left’s bidding (see: Occupy Wall Street). Those who work for Minitru couldn’t even fathom a REALY grassroots movement sweeping the country to drive Democrats out of power. It was their worst fear come to life, so it just couldn’t be real (could it?). Hell to the YES it was real. And though the Tea Party is not having rallies as often, that’s only because the rallies are no longer needed since the purpose of the rallies was to sign up volunteers and get to doing real work. The Left just wants to have nonstop rallies of endless screaming and yelling…but the Tea Party’s goal all along was to take away the Left’s power starting at the local level and moving up. That’s exactly what they’re still doing…and the Tea Party’s force will be felt in its first presidential election tomorrow. Minitru is clueless and won’t know what hit them.
6. Women are unthinking vagina monsters who live for promiscuous sex and fantasize about one day killing a little baby that was growing inside them. The Democrats’ entire convention was about celebrating the killing of tiny babies in the womb. The women who took to the stage screeching about the joy of killing babies were monsters out of an unpublished Stephen King novel. Sending people in giant vagina costumes to scream for the cameras about their desires to have as much sex as possible and then ruthlessly kill the living consequences was a major turnoff to most Americans. By this point, Democrats realized they no longer had any hope of winning Independents…but operated under the assumption that their urban power bases were enough to win a presidential election, so they went all-in on pushing out the base. Only, I think even some in their own base are repulsed by the degeneration (and degradation) of women into walking vagina monsters who dream of killing their little babies. Who on Earth wants to vote for a party whose main focus is that? Minitru believes all women in this country must think like the female Obama acolytes at MSNBC or the New York Times…but they will see how wrong they are about that tomorrow.
5. Hurricane Sandy helps Obama! This is truly one of the most stupid and desperate things Minitru has ever insisted. You can see, clearly, that they WANTED this to help Obama…but as I said from the beginning, Democrats are incompetent and can’t manage anything well. The unions in New York and New Jersey would get in the way of recovery, would drag their feet, and would make people needlessly suffer while they fought turf wars with the city or tried to take advantage of the disaster to renegotiated their contracts or whatever. This is exactly what happened…and Barack Obama owns this disaster…and the poor response to those suffering the most. Many of you out there don’t understand what Chris Christie did by drawing attention to Obama in New Jersey, but psychologically Christie put it into people’s minds that Obama was responsible for all the rescue and recovery efforts…knowing that things would not go well and there’d be a big mess by election day. Sure enough, that’s what happened…so when people turn on the tee-vee and see New Yorkers wailing because they still have no food, no water, no shelter, and they are freezing…people across the country are saying to themselves, “I thought Obama was taking care of this”. Instead of overseeing disaster aide, Obama’s off campaigning, telling people to vote out of revenge. It’s not what people want to see him doing…or expect from him if he’s supposed to be so in charge of recovery from Sandy. This storm did nothing to help Obama and anyone who told you it would is a damn fool.
4. Talking about Big Bird, binders, and bayonets helped Obama! Minitru really believed that some of the non-troversies they attempted to gin up this summer and fall would doom Mitt Romney. In addition to the Big Bird stuff, and the binders, and the bayonets…they also thought that people wouldn’t vote for Mitt Romney because his dog road around on the top of a car once. Boy, Minitru dropped that storyline FAST when conservatives responded Andrew Breitbart-style with news that Barack Obama used to eat dogs back in Indonesia. Suddenly, Minitru didn’t want to talk about dogs anymore. The more Obama went on about Big Bird, the smaller and more insignificant he seemed…to the point where he actually seems to be auditioning for a role on Sesame Street as one of Oscar the Grouch’s neighbors after he’s unemployed come January. Absolutely nothing Minitru tried to do to Mitt Romney worked all year. The general public was too concerned about their economic well-being to care a lick about distractions and nonsense this year. Barack Obama, thus, never had a chance.
[ Click above to embiggen: just one example of a Leftist singing the praises of infallible Nate Silver ]
3. Nate Silver is a prophet and whatever he says will come true! Almost all of the lefties I monitor on Facebook breathlessly insist that Nate Sliver is some sort of prophet who just “knows” that Barack Obama will win reelection, because “of math”. They also insist that anyone who doesn’t believe in Nate Silver is stupid and/or evil…which sure sounds like religion (not “math”), in the sense that Nate Silver is presented as infallible and anyone who disagrees with him is a heretic (kind of like Nate Siver is a pontiff instead of juste a mere pontificator to these people). The fact that most of you reading this have no clue who Nate Silver is delights me to no end…but let me assure you that he’s a darling amongst not only on-the-ground lefties but the Minitru operatives on tee-vee and at the New York Times. All of them believe in Nate Silver the way toddlers believe in Santa Claus…only I guarantee you that November 6th isn’t going to be like Christmas morning for these people. Nate Silver’s predictions are bunk and everyone on the Left who clung to them to hold their mental health together the last few months are going to turn on him in an instant when Mitt Romney wins the election in a landslide. Nate Silver will go from darling of November 5th to public enemy number one on November 6th. You have not seen anything until you’ve seen the Left turn on one of its own for failing to deliver. I almost pity Nate Silver. Almost.
2. Democrats will be in power forever because the “smart people” in the media think that’s how life should be. Have you noticed that over the last four years almost everyone working in the vintage, corrupt media has transitioned from reporting on things to demanding you do what they say? Networks like MSNBC and CNN should be reclassified as opinion and advice channels, not “news networks”, since they’re driven by activism for the Democrat Party instead of journalism. Newsweek magazine has gone out of business and will be just a website as of January. This site you’re reading right now, HillBuzz.org, is just a website according to Minitru…but this means that Newsweek and HillBuzz will be equals come 2013. That’s a remarkable development that will be followed by other former printed publications joining all of us in the electronic medium. The Ministry of Truth doesn’t realize this, but because of its sustained advocacy for Democrats their business model no longer works. People are tired of reading biased, propaganda “reporting” and have turned to alternative sources of information. They are never going back to the way they used to do things…and even more people will discover the wonders of electronic journalism (and conservative writers who can be found online). The Age of Reporters Telling People What to Think and Do has ended.
1. Obama really was a magical black man: a genius and a Lightbringer sent from the stars to save white people (just like in the movies!). People who work for Minitru love watching Will Smith movies. The guy smiles a lot, does little dance moves, shakes his butt when it’s called for, and says crazy things like “Aw Hell Naw!”…and all the white lefties in the theater laugh and laugh…while feeling good about themselves for buying a ticket to a Will Smith movie, because that proved how not-racist they are. They also love these movies because Will Smith always plays some variation of a magical black man who mysteriously appears out of nowhere one day to save white people from all their problems. Sometimes he’s a ghost that knows everything about golf and helps Matt Damon. Other times, he’s either a fighter pilot that can fly alien ships or he’s the coolest guy in the galaxy and the sharpest Man in Black around. Sometimes he not only kills vampires, but he invents a potion to end vampirism! The guy can do anything…because he’s a magical black man that white lefties in Hollywood love writing into their screenplays.
The easiest way to explain Barack Obama’s meteoric (or was it volcanic?) rise to power is to remember that the white lefties who turned to journalism as a career are not all that different from their Hollywood counterparts. Their plan was to craft a real-life Will Smith movie, where a magical black man would ascend to the presidency…and would lower the oceans, patch the hole in the ozone, heal the sick, feed the poor, and bring social justice to all “global citizens”. This was a dream taught to these buffoons by far-Left professors in college, who themselves will trained by outright communists back in the day. Not only would a magical black man solve everyone’s problems, but Democrats would be able to use the unique circumstances of having a black president to force through legislation they could never get away with if a white person was in office.
That’s because any time Republicans opposed Obama, they were called racists. And when regular Americans stood up and spoke out against what Obama wanted to do to the country, they were all branded racists too. The Trillion Dollar Wasted Stimulus spending and Obamacare were both forced through in haste while Americans were still too terrified of being called racists to stop them. Democrats were thus able to fund ridiculous pork barrel projects they’d waited DECADES to enact because they final had a president that Republicans could not challenge on anything.
The media’s nirvana with all of this lasted until March 21st, 2010 when people were so angered by Obamacare’s passage that they stopped caring if anyone in Minitru called them racists for speaking out against the monstrosity.
Here in 2012, on the eve of Barack Obama’s magnificent defeat, the race card has been obliterated and Americans have no fear of being branded “racists”…since the word has lost all meaning at this point. Democrats will never have false accusations of racism to use against anyone ever again…so they should consider whether the Obama presidency was worth it in the end.
Typically, the Left moves with snail’s speed to incrementally maneuver plots that will ultimately produce the things they want to do to this country. But with a magical black man in the White House, the Left thought it was invincible and could have everything it wanted all at once. The Left behaved like Oprah Winfrey in a Godiva chocolate store…and tomorrow evening the bill comes due.
Indigestion will be the least of the Ministry of Truth’s problems when voters get done with Democrats…because the reporters who’ve acted as propagandists for the last four years are in for a rude awakening when it becomes painfully clear to all involved what absolute hacks these people are…and what better reporting is actually being done by amateurs and volunteers with a website and a zeal to tell the stories that Minitru embargoes.
November 6th is just the beginning of the Left’s problems…because as of November 7th it won’t have the race card to use ever again…and soon it also won’t have it’s Ministry of Truth either.

I have to admit I’m getting a little POed at all the conservative/moderate bloggers and journalists confidently declaring an Obama win. And Rasmussen is still pushing polls with democrat oversampling, when his own party id surveys show they’re wrong.
On the positive side George Will came out with a really ballsy Romney 300+ prediction that includes MN despite that a little over a month ago he was near to performing last rites over the Romney campaign.
That very much surprised me about George Will..
You have to bet that Will only predicted a Romney win because he was told it was a sure thing. Will would never stick his neck out otherwise. The same is true for Michael Barone and Peggy Noonan, neither of whom would jump head first into a political pond without knowing how deep it is. That they have predicted a Romney win means it will be a Romney win.
I think Kevin is correct. Heads will roll after the election. MSNBC may soon cease to exist. (Perhaps Rachel Maddow can get a job as body double for Jason Biggs?) There will be a war within the Democrat Party, between the moderates and the far-left crazies. One side will have people like the Clintons and Joe Manchin; the other side will have Nancy Pelosi, Jan Schakowski, etc. If the moderates win, we will see some “blue dog” Democrats running in 2014. If the crazies win, the Democrat Party is essentially finished.
Thanks, Kevin-fabulous as always.
I await the accelerated erosion of Minitrue with great eagerness. They have outdone themselves with this fraud.
Having said that, I would love to get your take on Larry Sabato’s “Crystal Ball” prediction that Obummer will win tomorrow with 290+ EVs–do you know if he is using a weird model a la Nate Silver, using the polls or just using a real crystal ball or some other divinatory tool.
THanks
Sabato is crazy and wrong. He is high on bath salts.
Also, Sabato was a political activist for the D’s at age 15 and spent 9 years working for a D as a political guru… And Fox NEVER mentions that aspect of his bio.
I remember him saying once on Fox that all Hillary Clinton supporters in 2008 all simply went for Obama once Obama was gifted with the nomination.
I wrote him a long letter explaining why he was dead wrong, using my ex Dem HRC delegate experience as a case in point and let him know that thee were many thousands of people like myself and we’d never forget and never support Obama.
He did respond and admitted that he never heard of PUMAs or realized that about ex HRC supporters leaving the Dem party, mostly choosing to call themselves Independents but some going as far as registering as Republicans althou most of us will never vote anything but R again.
Ever since then, I know Larry Sabato doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
BO is spending tomorrow campaigning in Chicago. What does that say? As the campaign said, at this point there is no bluffing.
Another great analysis. I am up in Lake County, Illinois the land of Romney Ryan signs. We can only hope that one day the State of Illinois ends the Reign of Terror imposed by the Chicago Democratic machine so we can live like people in other states where there is two party system. I know that you are right about tomorrow. Enjoy the HB Ham.
Hoping Washington State will also one day experience emancipation from leftist Seattle so a real two party system can save the state.
I feel the same way over here in the People’s Republic of Massachusetts
The dinosaur media is, in essence, dead. No one with any brains whatsoever no longer believes their “reporting”.
I just spoke with my son who returned yesterday from saying goodbye to his girlfriend’s son on his way to Afganistan. Driving from Georgia to Utah, he told me the amount of signage, from small all the way up to traditional and the new digital billboards, with anti-Obama messages was constant all the way from Georgia, Tennessee, Missouri to Colorado. He noted that, especially in the southern states, the message included a huge amount supporting the military and blaming Obama for taking credit for Bin Laden as opposed to the Seals as well as the desertion of the military over the Bengazi debacle. Obama and the leftists may think that the attempted destruction of the military does not matter to anyone, they are obviously dead wrong.
He also noted that Missouri was one of the states with the most anti-Obama signage – but Obama treated the Joplin tornado tragedy like he treats every other rural crisis. Maybe Tennessee had so many because the floods were another crisis ignored.
Interestingly enough, he said the anti-Obama signage along the Interstate was even evident in Denver which really suprised him.
His report was like a ground report of at least 1/3 of the country. He did tell me that it had to cost some serious money to provide all the signage and he’s probably very right.
The media & Obama are going to have a very bad day tomorrow.
“He did tell me that it had to cost some serious money to provide all the signage and he’s probably very right.”
Not as much as you might think. Just going down a 120 mile stretch of Missouri Highway today, about 1 in 3 signs were blank or advertising for a billboard to be put up. Obamanomics at work…
The dearth of Obama signage here is stunning. This is my 4th presidential election since living here-and the last 3 featured massive bumper stickers/signs for the Democrat’s ticket. I saw a Romney blow out coming on even before the 1st debate because if there was no Obama enthusiasm here, then he didn’t have a chance.
I even dream that DeGette will go down with Obama tomorrow-that would be sweet.
I hadn’t read here since 2008- followed a link from twitter to the Fear Porn post. I love the Chicago connection…lived in the area my first 39 years.
I love your commentary, you are so smart and entertaining. I just discovered you about a week ago, and wish I had found you a long time ago! Thanks for all you do, we need people like you to get out the truth!
Kevin. . .
The MiniTru is **accidentally** right on a single point. Obama is, in fact, a :Lightbringer”. But, in Latin. Where the word is. . . Lucifer.
(evil grin)
You evil person
. Yes you are correct about the name of Lucifer. Few people actually recognize that fact, especially those who are not schooled in the Bible.
I’m an evil person who took Latin, and speaks 4 other languages than English. And, no, I’m not a diplomat or such. . .just an engineer.
Guess that’s why I’m conservative: I prefer solutions that ACTUALLY WORK. . .
Nate Silver’s “weird model” turns out to be 100% Sharia-Compliant:

Kevin, great wrap up! I just bought one of these, Evolution Robotics Mint Automatic Hard Floor Cleaner, on Amazon and did it through your link. I am happy to shop using your link and I buy lots of stuff on Amazon and Christmas is coming!
Keep up the great work. You are so positive and funny too.
I love reading your posts and can hardly wait for Tuesday!
I love this piece Kevin!
Daniel Greenfield has done yet another insightful article too.
http://sultanknish.blogspot.com.au/2012/11/voting-isnt-revenge-its-resistance.html
Reading some comments on local blogs by lefties is a hoot!
They are total puppets of Minitru – and yes, we have Minitru here also!
With all the left’s puppets out there, isn’t it amazing that the “million puppet march” turned out to be about 999,400 short? I guess most of the puppets were busy either broadcasting on Minitru or watching them…
I am going to bed early, not gonna listen to all the crap, gonna watch it early in the morning when Drudge has it up. Then read Hillbuzz.
I am gonna be upset when any GOP Senate candidate doesn’t win. We have some great people and also Todd Akin (hate him, but hope he wins).
Very well written article, Kevin.
I’ve been following you for months, following this election closely since ’08. Your analysis of ’10 is spot-on. Though it was AMAZING to me that the entire ‘minitrue’ seemed to pretend there was no election at all, the very day after the election. The few that addressed the abject rejection were talking about the Obama team’s inability to communicate – ‘tell a story’ – is what I recall as the meme.
I agree with your analysis of this election. I won’t be watching the leftie channels, so I won’t know… but I suspect there will be major denial. Some things cannot be denied, but the spin will be in the exponential g-force zone. My stomach can’t handle it.
My wife the psychotherapist could talk forever about the seductive power of ‘denial’ when reality doesn’t mesh with a person’s projections.
Please keep up the good reporting. It’s refreshing to have a voice such as yours that is unapologetic, indeed enthusiastic, about conservative American principles.
This is one of the best articles I’ve read in a long time. Excellent analysis.
Like Rhonda, I just discovered your website recently and am thoroughly enjoying it!
This might sound absurd, but here goes.
When Dixville Notch was reported shortly after midnight in 2008 as voting BO 15 and McCain 6, that confirmed my expectation that BO would win (for all the reasons Kevin has enumerated). Dixville always voted Republican.
When they voted 15-6 for BO, they were doing what the rest of the country was doing, voting in accordance with a fad about the magical black man. Shallow and dumb, but that was the 2008 election.
In about five hours we will know Romney has won a landslide, because Dixville will have regained its senses and vote 15-6 in favor of Romney.
Listening to Rush today was interesting. He understands the polls do not and could not possibly conform to reality. He could not be as forthright as Kevin but he was getting there.
A little after midnight we will know (as absurd as that sounds) and then we all can go through the day blissfully ignoring the dirty tricks and soviet-style propaganda which are going to unfold throughout the day.
Be a little cautious about this precinct. Because of it’s weird midnight voting, everyone votes. Doesn’t make it representative really of the rest of the nation.
Todd Starnes with Fox posted on my facebook page it was 5-5, only ten people voted.
Yikes!
Dixville Notch voted 5 – 5
Two ‘big’ families moved out of town.
Reasons Obama will lose
1. black vote, Hispanic and Young people vote is down and they are angry with him.
2. Coal is an important industry and Ohio, Virginia and Colorado. These people are Democrats and they hate Obama. Look at West Virginia, counties in the above state are just like West Virginia.
3. 2010 If you add all the state the GOP won any statewide office or won a legislative seat in 2010 Democrats have 103 and Republicans have 435. So the GOP can win 435 votes, because it has done so in the last 4 years, it will never win all of them, but Democrats are vulnerable
4. GOP voters will turn up, they know how serious this election is. They sat out 2008, no one made phone calls or brought friends to the polls.
5. Party shifts, Dems have moved to Independents and Republicans. GOP has grown and might have a plus 5 advantage.
I just cannot see the turnout for O as there was 4 yrs ago. The novelty of the “first black president” has worn off for those who would vote for him..
Totally, agree and I also think the missing piece is the public part of the voters who would say they aren’t going to vote for Obama, so it doesn’t become a race issue……Just Watch Tomorrow! I can’t wait to say President Romney! Living in SLC during the Olympic build-out and him cleaning up that huge scandal…I have always been so impressed with him…he is going to do big things for this country!
Sending Oldest Daughter here now. She’s down in school in Alabama and is freaking out about the election. And she found out her sort of boyfriend is leaning Obama! Good thing he didn’t bother to get his absentee ballot, and thinks voting doesn’t change much…
This is a great post and she’ll like it, because she’s heard similar before, especially on points 10, 9 (a favorite topic of mine since I was one of those Socialist “intellectual” types) 7, and 6. Hopefully it’ll calm her down enough to make it through tomorrow night. Then she’ll be worried about riots. At a conservative college in Alabama.
I feel just like a kid on Christmas Eve.
You Kevin are my Ativan. Thank you
Or at least half a liter of cheap vodka….
Not that you’re cheap– but we only buy the cheap stuff which we got used to drinking when we were trying to adopt in Kazakhstan.
Kevin, would you be honest with us and tell us what the dollar amount you still need to warp-speed your site for the next few days?
If it is in our faces, then maybe a few donations here and there will help you (and all your readers) out.
I donated a bit today via PayPal and will do so as we’re able.
I chipped in some too. I say everyone help chip in some extra so Kevin and Justin don’t have to celebrate on a tight budget! They deserve to be free from money worries for a bit
kevin, spot on analysis. whenever i need a lift of have some doubt i read hillbuzz. i am so glas i discovered your site. thanks for what you write, all of your research and your on the street analysis. keep up the great work. mike
Bath Salts Biden was just recorded claiming Clinton is President! Too funny:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=0ylIn6QA3uU
Per Politico; Barack Obama the not-so-happy warrior
Obama’s pollster, Joel Benenson says:
“There is a surprisingly simple explanation for Obama’s up-and-down performance as a candidate during his reelection grind in 2012, for those lackluster TV appearances, for that epic flop Oct. 3 on the Denver debate stage that might yet cost him his presidency on Tuesday.”
“I get why he had to do what he did. It was smart politically. But he’s become the embodiment of the partisanship he once decried,” said The New York Times’s David Brooks, one of the few journalists to strike up a real relationship with Obama during his first term.”
OMGoodness. Now he is such a nice guy he can’t get into being animated…. they really ARE grasping at straws.
Let us not forget, Jewish and Catholic votes will be down for Obama as well. Read an article this morning about a call center in Los Angeles, calling Jewish voters and asking them to vote for Romney. I don’t expect big swings here, but it can be enough. We’ll know if it’s enough tomorrow.
They were calling Jewish voters in Pennsylvania, I read.
Loved the sign I saw….Oy Vey! Obama
Hey y’all. Internet gossip for you. Level 3 (which is a major internet backbone provider) is reporting congestion due to the election tomorrow. Expect some slowness as you surf your way through the day.
Doom Antidote Alert: Is Vestal Virgin Stephanie Cutter letting the cat out of the bag? http://hotair.com/archives/2012/11/05/cutter-remain-calm-and-dont-let-tomorrows-early-tallies-get-you-down/
Instructs supporters to “not panic” if early results look good for Romney, because due to early voting, a “pretty big portion of our vote is in the bag.”
Well, my dear, by all accounts your bag is less full than expected, certainly less than 2008. and everybody knows Republicans are going to rock the ballot box tomorrow.
Do not panic about losing the senate again. Romney is an exceptional negotiator and LEADER. He will lead those Senators to our way of thinking. This country wants action and he’s going to get it for us. Do not worry about that. I almost don’t want the senate just to watch him work. Romney does well in a crisis. Just look at the Olympics…total scandal and chaos and he led them out of it. He will be able to bring the Democrat senators to our side because they will not want to be left behind and blamed for ignoring the people. The people are getting ready to ROAR tomorrow and the Democrats are going to hear them loud and clear. You watch…they’re going to cave.
I know Mitt Romney will be able to work with the leftists in the Senate but there is NO way I want them to still have a majority because we don’t need any more road blocks to hinder Romney/Ryan putting this country back together.
It is going to be hard enough to get back on track because we really have no idea what Obama and company have been hiding for these 4 years that is going to pop up once he leaves office, or what they intend to do in the next two months to further destroy this country.
Just having to see to Harry Reid bow and scrap behind Obama let alone listen to him say they (left) will not work with Romney if he is elected makes me sick.
I could handle a tie if it came to that because Paul Ryan would break those but I want those traitors gone! So I am still praying they win the Senate too.
I never want to hear about Obama, Jarrett, Pelosi, Reid, Biden or any on the left after tomorrow.
Personally it would suit me fine if the truth about ALL their shenanigans over the last four years came out and they were tried for treason. Especially over Benghazi.
It truly boggles my mind that anyone is still supporting this administration.
So much work to be done and we need everyone that is not helping to bail water out of the boat, to get out of the boat.
When was the last time Exit Polling was in the Republican candidate’s favor?
1988?
Que the Goodbye Cruel World speech tomorrow night.
From your lips to God’s ears…that the Minitru will cease to exist, especially that horrible MSNBC which has so badly warped my dear sis for life.
I’d say there will still be a “news” channel with ties to NBC at that point on the dial, but MSNBC as we know it will be gone by the summer.
They have no credibility at this point and they are heading for a total meltdown Tuesday night. Microsoft (The “MS” in MSNBC) pulled out a while back. I could see them finally push NBCUniversal to change the name before the channel did anymore damage to their brand if they stay on the current path in the early days of a Romney administration.
And that would be the OTHER shoe to drop. Even after the NBC-Universal merger, GE has a big stake in the family of networks. GE who got so far in bed with Team Zero there’s car fare on the CEO’s nightstand. There are probably some government contracts that are going to be under review with the change in command. I’m not suggesting payback…I’m saying the normal process of review and oversight that comes before the new President’s first budget is going to happen, and there will be some on the GOP side who remember who called them “racist,” “homophobes,” “misogynists” and other favorites of the left. Once this process begins, watch the crappy ratings of Mathews, Maddow and Sharpton start to matter.
I know everyone says Obama is Jimmy Carter 2.0, but if you guys were here in NJ right now–or in NY where the gas situation is even worse–the resemblance to America under the Carter administration is downright chilling!
Guiliani ripped FEMA a new one over their handling of this. How the f___ do you not plan for a gasoline shortage, when you have days of advance notice? This is what happens when you put a COMMUNITY F’G ORGANIZER in charge of organizing anything that actually matters.
JL, you are in our prayers. I am coming up there as soon as I can get a week off and volunteer to help out.
Don’t come yet, Brook, wait for a bit…we’re due for a nor’easter in a few days!
I’m praying for all of you on the other side that are suffering so. I know it is getting very cold there.
I remember JC’s admin & I remember the gas lines. Every other day, even or odd, long-looonnnggg lines. Everyone had gas cans in the truck. Must feel like you are living in some 3rd world country.
It may not feel like it, but help is on the way.
Blessings to you all
The gas lines were caused by government price controls.
I’m praying for all of you on the other side that are suffering so. I know it is getting very cold there. Wish i was closer, I’d be there.

Sorry for the double post. Got kicked & resubmitted. Bad me.
Oh my, I’m like the OBots: repeat, repeat & make them believe
How dare you, infidel!!!
Nate Silver is a great man
He is very good at telling the truth
Not quite as good as I am but he’s still young and I am proud to call him family
I see what you did there XD
OK. . .I have a question on a often topic when predicting election outcomes.
Tonight, while going through my nightly walk through the neighborhood, I passed a neighbor was/is the epitome of a “leftie” — I avoid her at any gatherings as she is so negative about life. As I passed, I waved hello and quickly picked up my pace. However, she flagged me down to tell me that she voted for Romney on the last day of early voting. . .As I kept myself from fainting, she proceeded to explain the reasons why. . .holy cow. . .I couldn’t have not said my position more succinctly — on the economy, business. She this was not the year to vote on her social issues!!!
As I again picked up my exercise pace, I wondered if the pollster topic of counting early voters — based on registered party — is a scientific practice. More stories of NC dems switching to vote for Romney are anecdotal but could this be the November 6 surprise OR the real reason some political pundits are predicting a landslide? Maybe more lefties are going to vote for Romney than we can fathom.
I just wondered as I read about Stephanie Cutter telling the lefties (today) to stay calm because they had gotten off to a vote lead? Perhaps that does not mean as much this year. . .given my far-left neighbor!
Just a thought. . .
I absolutely agree this might happen. Just because an early voter might be a Democrat doesn’t mean they voted for Obama. We already have evidence that Romney is going to enjoy more crossovers than O.
It’s simple; if you’re flipping party, you don’t tell anyone. Least of all an anonymous pollster…
We vote by mail statewide. The owner of the “little market” where I buy my sundries and run a weekly tab voted for Obama 4 years ago. A few days ago I asked him if he voted and he was quick to say yes, he already mailed it.
So tonight I had to ask and he was reticent to talk politics, which I understand completely, but I pressed him a little and he told me McKenna (R) for governor and Romney.
This is real people, a crimson tide.
Love reading your thoughts. I believe you are correct in all your points. I would add that tomorrow’s election results will be similar to the ones in 2010, when the left and ‘vintage media’ told us all that the races were too close to call and that we would be up all night, and well into the next day before anyone could see who won. Of course, even Hussein admitted that Democrats had been given a ‘shellacking’. I predict the same turnout, because of the reasons you stated. What began in the wake of the healthcare legislation has been boiling to this point. None of us have forgotten that we were told by Nancy Pelosi that we would have to pass the legislation to find out what was in it, and we have not forgotten that Hussein promised us a transparent government, but delivered nothing but obfuscation.
OT, to all hillbuzzers. If you are able and so inclined, please consider a donation to hillbuzz. If you are like me, you have found refuge and much needed peace of mind here. I just donated and it was very easy and quick.
Thank you Kevin for keeping hillbuzz up and running for us. I simply cannot imagine the looooong hours and hard work you put in here on our behalf. Bless you and stay safe
I was thinking the same thing, soon as the paycheck is in the bank on Thursday.
Every time I see either one of the Obamas, I feel like a snake
has just crawled across my foot.
Jim Whittaker
Hemet, CA
LOL, you are getting closer to truth then you realize.
yes seeing them is enough to make one’s skin crawl.
Have you ever noticed that Valerie Jarrett looks like there’s a serpent inside her just waiting to come out. Just saying!
Great article Kevin, just what I needed the night before this big election! I am turning in early, so I can be up early to vote. Here in OH they are telling us to dress warm, because the lines are expected to be long…….I don’t care how long I have to stand in line, I will be casting my vote for Mitt Romney!!
I did make a donation to Hillbuzz today and it was very easy to do. Thanks for all your hard work, it is very much appreciated.
I will be logged on tomorrow, enjoying the defeat of Obama with you!
An astute essay why Romney/Ryan are going to win!
Main Street in Revolt
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2012/11/04/main_street_in_revolt_116051.html#.UJghBhyZifc.twitter
“Suddenly, Minitru didn’t want to talk about dogs anymore.” LOL!
Tomorrow, I’ll get up at 4 AM to be at my precinct’s polling station by 5 AM to watch as the polling equipment is set up and poll workers prepare for the day. When the polls open at 6, the Operation ORCA volunteers will be all set up with their smart phone apps in communication with Boston to track voters in real time. I’ll go outside to greet voters with Republican sample ballots and information about the various candidates and state constitutional amendments. Volunteers will be handing the baton to each other all day. When the polls close at 7 PM, I’ll be inside again to observe vote counts, provisional ballots, etcetera. We’ll be locked in until the precinct results are called in. I’ll drop off copies of all the printouts and verifications at a central location designated by the Republican Party. And finally, head to a results watching party. No time to fret or worry. Que sera sera.
Anyone could have done this. There are plenty of precincts in my deep blue city where no one stepped forward to be a poll observer for the Republicans. But we do have all the Project ORCA slots filled. I don’t think turn out’s going to be an issue, unless it’s that it’s overwhelmingly high.
Clear eyes. Full hearts. Can’t lose.
Kevin, what are your thoughts on Hillary’s absence? Staying out of blast radius of Democrat meltdown? Laying low in light of Benghazi?
Hillary was far away on Election Day in 2010. She was far away during the convention. She will be far away for tomorrow’s train wreck.
Hillary is coming to Perth, Western Australia, for some shindig or other. Perth is about as far away from Washington DC as you can get. I remember where she went for the convention – the Cook Islands – and she seems to have pulled the same trick here.

He was with Springsteen at UW-Madison this morning, and drew 16,000-20,000 (tops), which pales in comparison to John Kerry’s appearance with Springsteen there in 2004 (80,000) (http://www.thedailypage.com/daily/article.php?article=38202).
This campaign *is* ending like Spinal Tap.
Yeah, but they can turn the volume up to 11.
Kevin,
I was just watching CNN(I know) with Piers Morgan. He had David Plouffe on and I was not in the mood to hear anymore pro-Obama propaganda. So this is when I made the decision to turn down the sound and something amazing happened. I was able to just look at Plouffe’s face and saw how sad he was. His eyes had a dead look to them and his body language did not convey any confidence whatsoever. These folks know that Obama is going to lose. And while they are telling you one thing, their expressions say something quiet different.
Try it anyone and tell me if you notice the same thing.
Watch Axlerod. He shakes his head the opposite of what he is saying. When he was talking about Benghazi and the president calling it terrorism the next day, he was shaking his head to the negative. Staphanie Shutter does the same thing. It’s their”tell”
Another reason Obama has to go:
http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2012/11/horror-valerie-jarrett-is-meeting-with-iranians-on-nukes-and-israel/
He is a liar, a traitor and a few other four letter words I can think of.
I need to go to bed after reading this. I don’t want any more CRAP put in my mind to discourage me.
Thanks, Kevin, as usual you are the warm cup of milk before bed!!!
On to victory, people, LET”S ROLL!!!
Project ORCA just held a conference call featuring the Romney campaign’s National Pollster, Neil Newhouse, and the Political Director, Rich Beeson. As a volunteer, I was invited to attend the call.
They say it is an incredibly tight race with their numbers showing SIX states within a 2% margin of error. Turnout is everything and voter intensity and enthusiasm is key.
The data will be used to make GOTV decisions at the precinct and state level but most importantly it will be used to PUSH BACK AGAINST THE SKEWED EXIT POLLS OF MINI TRU.
It sure seemed to present a contrast to the reports of the panicked call held by the Obama folks today.
You can read more here: http://dinahlord.typepad.com/dinah_lord/2012/11/an-inside-report-from-romney-hq-on-project-orca.html
I don’t usually blog pimp Kevin, but I thought it was important to reinforce your point that MiniTru would do anything to win it for their Messiah and let people know that the Romney campaign is ready to fight back.
There has never been a data mining operation like Project ORCA before.
Let’s roll.
Let’s get this party started!
Tea Party/GOP voter suppression? What BS.

Kevin: Have seen where Brad Thor says that Obama is going to try to demoralize Republican voters by claiming victory early?
http://patdollard.com/2012/11/chicago-source-tells-author-brad-thor-obama-campaign-planning-to-proclaim-early-victory-to-demoralize-romney-supporters/
I love Brad Thor (he lives in Chicago and we have mutual friends) but this is fear porn.
Kevin,
Sam Adams, Tom Paine, and Winston Churchill would be damned proud of you! I know I am. You, sir, are a true patriot. Thank you for all you have written and done. You’ve made a bigger impact than you will ever know.
Mike
I would add our Founding Fathers in there as well.
Ben Franklin would have liked your writing style and wit. He would love the technology of the day don’t you think??? From Quill to keyboards –and instant transmission to the masses.
Lets make the Founders proud tomorrow!! Kevin– thanks for being there for us:-)
Well said, Mike!
So a lot of pollster back in 2008 got it wrong because they calculated the GOP showing up, but they didn’t.
Why?
Interestingly enough I’ve met a lot of conservatives and seen on a lot of conservative blogs the same story. A lot of ex-democrats would meet republicans and discover that they didn’t vote at all in 2008.
I encountered a man on a bullet train who turned out to be a staunch conservative and we got into an interesting conversation a year back.
He told me he didn’t vote for McCain. I asked him why. He said, “Because McCain was unworthy. Don’t buy this lesser of two evils nonsense. That’s not how you win the war.”
“What war?”
He ends up explaining an interesting view. His view and even my father held this view (my father didn’t vote for McCain either) that a vote for McCain would have been a deathblow to conservatism.
Reagan turned Americans toward conservatism. He made them proud of it. Reagan has transcended generations and is slowly taking the place the Founding Fathers like George Washington hold in our hearts. Reagan was like a modern founding father and not even the media has been able to tarnish his memory anymore than they have been able to tarnish the founding Fathers.
Bill Clinton, to the media’s anger, will just be remembered as a popular president. Just like Eisenhower was and nothing more. He was a blip in history, but Reagan will stay in our memories.
FDR was a memorable president and that is all. That a republican president could get that status drives the left insane.
Reagan made us embrace conservatism (though he was before my time). Bill Clinton weakened it, but did not erase it. 911 brought many back to conservatism. The last four years of Bush started to weaken conservatism a lot.
For many conservative thinkers like my dad and this man, there is a war for heart of America. Reagan won it for a time for conservatism. Choosing McCain might have won a battle, but it would have lost the war.
Plus McCain in his want to appear “bipartisan” would have done many of the things Obama did anyway. He would have used stimulus to fight the recession. He would have attacked conservatives in his own party just like he did during the presidential race.
Many had the view that Obama’s victory allowed the leftist to win a “battle”, but conservatives won the war. The country is swinging strongly conservatives especially in the young (not my generation who got indoctrinated by the left during the Bush years) but the 15-21 crowd are swinging to Romney and Ryan.
Now the conservatives will show up. My dad will be there. This will be the killing blow of our generation. For them, a vote for McCain would have decimated the “conservative” brand for generations and undone Reagan’s work.
So they surrendered the battle with their eyes on winning the war.
I think about it and I think they were right. Imagine if you will that McCain had won. He would have done many of the policies that Obama had done — though not as extremely.
McCain tended to attack the conservative elements in his party so the republicans would have grown more divided. Palin for all her strengths was an easy target by the media.
Then Sandy would have hit right before the election. It would have immediately been another Katrina. All over the headlines would be, “McCain doesn’t care about New Yorkers. Leaves northeasterners to dumpster-dive!”
He would have been destroyed and conservatism along with him. 2008 was a fluke, but 2012 would have been a real shift to the left.
And Hillary would not have been able to rout the leftist crazies out of her party by then. Their foothold was too strong so Obama or maybe her would have tried again. They would have won.
McCain would have had everyone hating conservatism and the blow would have lasted for decades.
That seems to be the view of a lot of republicans I meet — the real type. How they can have such absolute faith in the pattern of things I’ll never know, but looking back on how the last four years have turned out I think they saw deeper than any of us.
They saw McCain as the greater of two evils. Now conservatism has come roaring back into the American spirit. The left has revealed itself.
Obama was a deathblow to leftism, what McCain would have been to conservatism. The Left were given a battle in 2008, but we will win the war in 2012 for our future generations.
It was interesting. My dad even said it to me once, he said, “In 2008, it was a choice between a democrat and a leftist. We chose conservatism.”
Your dad & the bullet train guy are smart – great food for thought. I’m inclined to think that, with Romney’s win tomorrow, the Democrat civil wars will begin as Kevin predicts. But we can’t sit back and become complacent again. This is a long game, protecting liberty. Changing central government to its rightful limited role in a federalist system will take dedication and many hands to do the work at the local and state levels along with the federal level.
In 2008 I knew it was going to be bad if O won or McC, but O was going to be worse. I voted. Frankly, some thought in 2008 that McC or the RNC deliverately threw the race so that the Dems would forever be associated with the recession. Whoever those risktakers were, I bet they didn’t have an idea of how bad it could be in 4 years.
So a lot of pollster back in 2008 got it wrong because they calculated the GOP showing up, but they didn’t.
Why?

I hope this doesn’t double-post. I’m having a lot of trouble submitting comments.
For God’s sake, and for this country’s sake, got out and VOTE!
Of course. My dad is going at 7am tomorrow. He’s the only one who hasn’t yet voted because he wants to vote on election day.
I think this is right. A major Leftist screw up is what was needed to become the country that matters. Thank you for posting this!
I voted for McLame (or rather, I voted for Palin). But, I’m glad McLame didn’t win. He would have been a disaster. Yes- I know he’s a war hero- but it’s past time for him to retire.

check out that photo of the Romney rally in New Hampshire going on right now..look at that crowd!! Its breathtaking..and I just finished watching Greta and they had Prievus on(Sorry Im spelling his name on..the RNC Chairman) and he almost looked like he was going to cry..with HAPPINESS..he talked about Romney’s acceptance speech happening tomorrow you could just see the glow of happiness on his face
I was at the Ryan 5pm rally in DesMoines and it was packed with loud, enthusiastic people who did not want to go home.
Priebus is a political genius. Not a spin guy, but a no-nonsense nuts and bolts guy. He knows what it takes to win an election. He also loves this country immensely and is a true conservative. He orchestrated the right turn that Wisconsin took and is the reason we have Paul Ryan, Ron Johnson,and Scott Walker (and Sean Duffy, and Reid Ribble) representing us in Wisconsin. Having him at the helm has made me very confident this election.
I heard him on a local radio station yesterday. He sounded very confident.
dear kevin,
my husband was watching election updates on p.b.s. almost every single point they covered with regard to an obama victory, you had debunked here! thanks to you, i was able to watch it giggling instead of seething.
*hugs*
Hey, Kevin: So, watched The Walking Dead last night as I always do. And, the latest new episode (last b/4 the election) was stunning. The lone black cast member (who they never gave much to do) was killed off. Foreshadowing . . .? AND, one of the main female characters – in the exact opposite of what you’ve been saying leftists have been pushing about women all year long – gave her life to deliver her baby and save its life after having a chance early on to abort it even when she knew that carrying it to term might mean her death in the new apocalyptic world they live in. Subtle repudiation of the left . . ?
I do believe these memes float through the popular media first, available for verbalization to the very perceptive.
Abortion has no redeeming value.
It’s just sadness.
Does the body language in this picture suggest a man who is going towards electoral victory?

The next link on Drudge comes from Breitbart.com showing a stadium that was half full, despite the fact that there was a Bruce Springsteen concert.
I had an email this morning from our local GOP saying that “for the first time in recent memory we had more Republicans in early voting than Democrats”. We are a slight majority D county, with a D mayor and a D Congresscritter. It does not look good for Obama here and he was a lock in 08. It will be cold, but the forecast for rain has changed to cloudy. If I am well enough, I am going to work the precincts tomorrow as needed. If not I will spend my day as much as possible in prayer for my country, for a peaceful transition of power, and for the fear of God in those who would do us harm.
Kevin, it would be hard for me to choose a favorite article you’ve written, but this one has to be tops. So true!
I once got into a debate with a dear friend who was editor of the local newspaper at that time. He claimed that “liberal bias” is just that “liberals” have more ‘concern’ for the unfortunate and that conservatives claimed standards that they didn’t personally uphold thus the desire to report on conservative hypocrisy. I pinned his ears back before it was over that his comment was the most hypocritical thing I’d ever heard. (I know not to call them liberals, but for the sake of accuracy, I am describing the exact discussion). We are still great friends, but leftists are truly blind people, insular, they work in a small elitist echo-chamber. Conservatives are mostly willing to live and let live, but if you poke us, you poke a bear, and once awake we will have our pound of flesh.
Tomorrow we take back our beloved country. Prayers for us all.
Dixville Notch, NH results in: Romney-5 Obama-5
First tie ever recorded there.
Time to give Mitt a much needed boost!
what an eat little racket they have there and God bless them they have not capitalized onit like I would, a would be Sgt Bilko
I demand a recount LOL..basically means that Obama already lost half his base..
Your analysis was excellent. However; I almost feel like I am living on a different planet or speaking a different language because I can’t comprehend that mind set.
The first time I listened to an Obama speech I told family and friends that he was a Trojan horse because if you actually listened to what he said, it was obvious that he was very liberal. When Oprah started calling him ‘The One’ it creeped me out and I never watched her again.
It baffles me that there are so many sheep.
I pray God has opened eyes and hearts and today is a new
beginning.
It’s gonna be an emotional day for me and probably a lot of us. Such a big election. I can’t wait to get out and go vote.
cspan had BHO full speech as did cnn and msnbc, cspan2 cut off Romney to show a debate in ND, somehtning about eradicating bowl weevils, scroll said ‘get yerseff to c-span.org’ which I did only to see it cut off. cnn and msnbc showed all of the BHO event, soup to nuts. Romney got shuffled off to a back channel, cut off there as well then was re-directed to c-span.org site, cut-off again, close shots only, would not show true crowd size which was very large.
Gawd, Kevin, I need a cigarette after reading this column! As soon as my husband gets home from work tomorrow, I’m going to sit him down and make him read this. He’s nervous. I’m not.
tomorrow night I am going to set up a fire outside in the fire pit for some spousal quality time with my wife, lay up some aroma therapy stuff, I guess that means candles and incense and some keystone lights for me, some oxygen tanks, some nitrous oxide, a few mini bottles scattered around, some pet therapy staging areas and some smurfs re-runs. mac and cheese/sloppy joes as a fail safe.
I know Mitt wins but I have a 0.001% shaddow of doubt that I want to prepare for
Hi all! I’m up late, can’t sleep. I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas!
Move to Guam it is early evening here
Great work Kevin. Make sure to warn everyone tomorrow that probably around 4 pm EST – the media will start with the BS exit poll lies. They will start with the Obama will win lies with the fake exit polls or some variation. They do it every time.
Just vote people and ignore the media.
If Romney had Eastwood with him and the arena was only 3/4 full we’d never hear the end of it.
Some encouraging news
Watch this C-Span video of the speech Michelle Obama makes in Iowa
Ladies and Gentlemen this was a concession speech. Obama knows he has lost. Look at the body language. Listen to how everything is in the past tense. Notice how the crowd becomes deflated as she speaks.
Romney is still blitzing states tomorrow. Obama is playing ball with Reggie Love.
Think about it

Kevin, you are such a WONDERFUL person, please send me your address (you can see my email address from the comments section) so that – no matter what happens – I can send you & Justin a Christmas present of whatever your favorite dinner may be (honey ham or whatever). You have made my life soooo much better due to your positive attitude and wonderful words of encouragment and reason that I cannot ever begin to thank you enough. Therefore, I want to make your and Justin’s holiday season a time to remember by providing you with a gift that will make your holiday food season one to remember.
The only thing I regret is that I did not have the opportunity to meet you in DC when you attended the Glen Beck rally a couple of years ago. I would have been able to do except for the fact that my laptop ran out of power before the meeting place was established, much to my regret.
You are one of my heroes and I want to thank you for that. Please take especial care of yourself and also please take my request seriousy and let me know how I me how I may send your my appreciation by providing an address to send you my heartfelt gift to you and those you love.
God bless you!
Good morning, Kevin, on this important day!
I’d like to add to the excellent point you made about Nate Silver (#3).
It is very interesting that the same left who applauds Nate Silvers ‘numeracy’, and denigrates all who disagree with him, if not outright calling them stupid idiots or liars, are exactly the same lefties who have been shoving global warming down our throats ( with dreadful consequences for our economies), using exactly the same arguments.
It is the left who are illiterate in regard to scientific methods, it is the left who are innumerate in regard to statistical shenanigans, and it is the left who are always denigrating anybody who doesn’t agree with their prophet-du-jour.
Nate Silver is adored by the lefties over here in the UK as well, and while I shall not be nasty to the losers tomorrow, I shall not refrain from gloating publicly when one of the most obnoxious left hacks at the Daily Telegraph over here will have to eat humble pie.
Nicely written: a concise summary of why the left’s propaganda machine has failed them. You are like a hound dog in full bay, after a coyote (a typo or two betray the speed of the chase). As this unbelievable national soap opera has evolved, it has been quite entertaining reading you, some of Ulsterman and trying to decipher Lamecherry.
And…..though put down by evil people who will get theirs, Breitbart lives among us all.
Godspeed, Kevin.
I saw a picture of Clinton and Obama on some website today campaigning and Obama looked fried. Literally;) Looked like his skin was much darker….like he’d been visiting the tanning bed and has lost weight, face was drawn. It’s a known fact that his suit jackets are padded. Anyway, I believe he’s probably coked out. He’s not known for being a hard worker. I imagine things aren’t going well with him and his beloved Michelle;). As much as she hated being trapped in the WH, she loves the perks and the adoration.
I only know its been a long almost four years. I hope that election night won’t drag on. The one thing I do want to see is Chris Matthews have a meltdown …he’s obsessed with racism. Wondering if something in his past caused it;)
Looking forward to the WH being steam cleaned and some dignity put back in there. It’s certainly time.
Thanks, Kevin, for this great article and look forward to many more.
You forgot Will Smith as the Super Secret Service agent and too cool cowboy in “The Wild, Wild West.” He fought the steampunk racist confederate in a (really) bad Summer movie about 1999 or 2000.
By this time tomorrow we wil know if you are right? But I think you are correct, after all Minnesota is in play!
