It’s a little past midnight, my election party has broken up, and we’re waiting on results mainly from Florida and Ohio.
There are a lot of states too close to call. (The Bush campaign is claiming Florida as a victory right now and I don’t think many people will argue with them. — Update: With 98% reporting, Florida is a red state.) The map is starting to look exactly like it did in 2000, and even though Bush won the electoral vote then, population shifts in the past four years means the same state-by-state breakdown means a larger margin of victory for Bush.
The House and the Senate have gone Republican.
But the big story? When polls started closing, exit polls predicted a sweep for Kerry. What’s this mean? People lie to pollsters. The media is going “Wow! Our polls were wrong!” I linked to Slate yesterday, and was watching their exit poll numbers which I thought looked too optimistic for Kerry. Turns out they were “completely wrong.” I just think this is funny.
Now P. Diddy’s on TV talking about the state of politics in the US, and I’m just not buying it.
