No Runny Eggs

The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

The Morning Scramble – Election 2008 edition

by @ 6:00 on November 4, 2008. Filed under The Morning Scramble.

This one’s going to be short because I’m actually doing this on Monday night due to various committments during the day today. I will (or at least should) have a liveblog set up for the night; as I type this, I don’t know which forward observation post I’ll be occupying after I cast my ballot.

As Styx put it – Get up. Get back on your feet. You’re the one they can’t beat and you know it. Now, get out there and defeat the ‘Rats.

  • Ed Morrissey has the November Surprise – the Palins did nothing wrong in “Troopergate” according to the non-partisan Alaskan State Personnel Board.
  • Mike repeats a message that I’ve been hammering home – IGNORE THE EXIT POLLS!
  • Gaius found another place photo ID is required – Barack Obama’s rally at Grant Park. Of course, in true ACORN fashion, they screwed up with the “plus one” portion.
  • Today’s ObamiNation In Your Face Violence Tour update – Scott reports his daughter received death threats from fellow children because her dad supports John McCain. Yes, it has come to this.
  • Mary found one last Joe Biden gaffe. We should rename him UPS, because he delivers everywhere.
  • Kevin Fischer abhors the idea of making today a holiday. If one can’t find the time to vote in either the massive amount of hours the polls are open (in Wisconsin, between 7 am and 8 pm) or the weeks prior to the election, one doesn’t have the time management skills necessary to function in life.
  • Related to that, Kevin also provides his official voting guide. I approve of that message.
  • Jim Geraghty’s guru Obi-Wan states the pollsters “seem to have slipped into a world of easy assumptions”.
  • Speaking of polls, Charlie Sykes reminds us how the pollsters got 1980 so wrong.
  • Cub quotes Confucius on taxes. I’ll take the tigers as well.

If you’re looking for election predictions, most of the people linked to on the bloated roll to your right have them. Mine is for prolonged pain.

One last item – nominations are being accepted in various categories for th 2008 Weblog Awards. If I find any of youse mugs putting this place in any of the nomination slots, I’ll murdalize ya. I am serious, and don’t call me Shirley. Do feel free, however, to nominate other places on the bloated roll to your right as they’re more worthy than me.
