The maps make me happy...

FiveThirtyEight.com and Electoral Vote.com:

Obama 346.6 electoral votes

Obama 364 electoral votes,

This doesn't, exactly:

popular vote 52%
I can't fathom why he's only winning 52% of the popular vote. Or rather, I can, and it saddens me.

So I look at the maps instead.

Please vote on Tuesday if you haven't already. And be happy.

Do the 59 Dems in the Senate include Joe Lieberman (Whatever-CT)?

I think it did, but I'm not sure. The prevailing thought seems to be that Joe will scurry back to the Dems if Obama wins big.

If the Dems win big enough, they might decide they don't need Joe in their sandbox--um, er, I mean caucus. (Not that I have any hopes one way or another, given that I don't have opinions.)

You mean the guy who's been standing behind John McCain on stages for the last months? Glrf.

I wish it were different, and I wish we could all just tell him to take a flying floss[1] at a rolling doughnut. Alas, partisan politics means that if we need his diseased vote, we'll just have to hold our noses and take it.

Yeah. Joe the Plumber and Joe Lieberman. Puke.
