It's 11:15 pm, and the moment we've all been waiting for has finally come, after two years of incessent, annoying campaigning and politicking...
Ohio has just been called for Obama, thus propelling him past the 270 votes needed to win the election.
The thing is, I knew this was coming. And anyone who paid attention to poll numbers in just the nine swing states probably knew too. While everyone swooned and swayed every day since the first debate about the national polls, I watched two sources: The Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC, and the daily poll tracking of the swing states on Real Clear Politics. And by and large, those sources were consistently showing that Obama was ahead much of the time in those nine states. It's about getting to know your sources, and if your sources were Fox News and Rasmussen Polling, you were being duped by wishful thinking and spun numbers.
Finding sources you can (somewhat) trust...
...Wish you were here.
