The anecdotal evidence is mounting....

...for a blow out for the President. The early voting and the determination of real people to cast their ballots will make a fucking mockery of all those sophisticated algorithms that are making no sense to these lying eyes.

Keep pressing forward. America is worth it.

This is the real start of the 21st century. The GOP is imploding at the same time that we have an intelligent, personable candidate for President.

Things are going to be different from now on.

One reason that Clinton's election was so dramatic was it signaled the transition from the Cold War to the current world, I call it the asymmetrical superpower world.

But this election feels like the transition of the 40-hour workweek to the 32-hour workweek, the acknowledgement that current distribution of work is dysfunctional, and is manifesting as greater and greater disparity of income.

A transition in systems thinking from the simple cause-and-effect of "supply & demand" to a more sophisticated model of networked economy. You do not make a network go faster by increasing the bandwidth of its fastest nodes, i.e. "supply-side economics".

You do it be speeding up the bottlenecks, i.e. lack of income in lower tiers.

....that's not going to be the case this year.

We know we're in BIG trouble if Romney wins, so the voter turnout will be just as good as it was in 2008.

Time and again the analytic models are correct. The one exception was 2004 and those who follow carefully suspect that the fix was in that year. It might be true this time too. We should be worried - sorry.

'Know'.

Anyone who has earnestly studied OH '04 and made a point of uncovering enough details knows to a certainty how much suppression, tampering, and rigging went on by the BOE and SoS Blackwell.

There is no question, yet the pursuit of the story has been thoroughly stigmatized.

There was a nigh-impossible disparity between exit polls and actual results that was a classic indication of election fraud. Margins as great as 16%, and nearly all of them favoring Bush in Ohio, was far more outrageous than the 10% margins in the Ukrain that same year. Yet the US screamed bloody murder over that appearance of fraud while completely ignoring the blatant signs here.

news show hosts at all at this point. It's just too maddening and I get so angry at the lies and distortions and the crap that passes for "news" these days. I can't trust any of it. I can't stand the horserace mentality. I can't stand how the lies and deceptions and distortions go un-challenged.

We're talking about our future and the future of our children and grand-children and all I see is a process frought with immaturity, childishness, and downright idiocy.
